RESOLUTION NO. 99-22
A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD SPONSORING
TOGETHER WITH LANE COUNTY AN APPLICATION ESTABLISHING AN
ENTERPRISE ZONE, SPRINGFIELD ENTERPRISE ZONE II.
WHEREAS, the City of Springfield is sponsoring with Lane County a joint application
for designation of an enterprise zone, Springfield Enterprise Zone H.
WHEREAS, the Springfield Enterprise Zone provides a tool for economic development
in order to create new jobs for Springfield residents and to retain major investments in
the community and to bring new investments into the community.
WHEREAS, the City of Springfield seeks to continue the Springfield Enterprise Zone in
accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes 285B.650 to 285B.728, the City hereby
makes the following specific findings in support of such purpose:
.
A.
The sponsors of the proposed zone are the City of Springfield and Lane
County, because the boundaries of the proposed zone extend beyond
the city limits of the City of Springfield.
The City of Springfield has a mean per capita income that is 76% of the
State of Oregon's based on the 1990 Federal Census Data making it
eligible for designation as an enterprise zone.
The proposed enterprise zone is contiguous and has an area of about
11.5 square miles and it meets other statutory limitations on size and
configuration; it is depicted on the drawn to scale map, attach.ed hereto
and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A".
Within the proposed zone there is significant industrial land that is
designated for industrial use as indicated on the comprehensive plan
map of industrial lands acknowledged by the Land Conservation and
Development Commission and included in the application, and that is
sufficiently accessible, serviced or serviceable, and ready for use and
further development.
The City of Springfield appreciates the impacts that a designated
enterprise zone would have and the property tax exemptions that eligible
business firms might receive therein, as governed by Oregon Revised
Statutes (ORS) 285B.650 to 285B.728

E.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED by the City of Springfield as follows:
The City of Springfield requests pursuant to OAR 123-065-1520(6) that the Springfield
Enterprise Zone II be designated as a continuation and redesignation of the current
Springfield Enterprise Zone, and that the policies and appointments of the terminated
zone also continue, except the new map (Exhibit "A") designates the area within the
Springfield Enterprise Zone II.
.
The City of Springfield proposes and applies for designation of an Oregon enterprise
zone to be named the Springfield Enterprise Zone II.
