MARIJUANA
ACTION
REQUESTED:
Council is requested to review and discuss the attached Proposed Springfield
Development Code Amendments.
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Review and discuss proposed regulations that identify the zoning districts, the
separation distance between certain uses and proposed marijuana businesses, and the
site standards for the production and processing of marijuana and marijuana products as licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Proposed Amendments to the Springfield Development Code Allowing
Medical and Recreational Marijuana Facilities in Certain Zoning Districts 2. Map of Key Buffer Discussions
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In November 2015, the Council conducted a work session discussion regarding the
potential appropriate regulation of recreational marijuana activities approved by voters as Measure 91 in November, 2014. This new law legalized the growth, sale, and use of marijuana for recreational purposes.
The Council discussion focused on three major topics: Taxes, business licensing, and
land use regulation. At the conclusion of the 11/9/15 work session, the Council directed
staff to schedule work sessions of the Planning Commission to discuss the various options available in the Development Code to regulate the four activities subject to
licensing by the OLCC: production, processing, wholesaling, and retailing. The
Council did not indicate a preference for allowances or prohibitions; they wanted the Planning Commission to explore these topics and then provide the Council with
options. The Council did indicate a concern that an overly aggressive site eligibility regulation based on separation between uses might make most sites unsuitable and therefore artificially limit the potential number of businesses. With this possible
outcome in mind, the two Planning Commission work sessions conducted in December
and the final work session in January included several maps displaying site availability for each license type. Largely due to the information provided by these maps, the
Planning Commission has recommended various separation standards (all statutory setbacks are observed) that are included in the proposed Code going before the Planning Commission at public hearing on March 1, 2016.
In summary, the proposed amendments allow retail businesses in two commercial
zoning districts, and allow wholesaling, production and processing in three industrial
zoning districts; these uses are prohibited in all other zones and anywhere outside the city limits. Where production and processing are proposed, these activities may either
be indoors with mechanically controlled ventilation systems, or outdoors; on lots at
least 5 or 10 acres in size depending on the size of the operation; and separated from any district allowing residential use by either 500 feet or 1,000 feet depending upon the
size of the operation.
PROPOSED SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE (SDC) AMENDMENTS TO ALLOW
MEDICAL AND RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA FACILITIES
IN CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS (3/1/16)
This proposed action amends the following Sections of the Springfield Development Code:
1) Subsection 3.2-200 Residential Zoning Districts; Subsection 3.2-210 Schedule of Use Categories; Subsection
3.2-300. Commercial Zoning Districts; Subsection 3.2-310 Schedule of Uses Categories; Subsection 3.2-400
Industrial Zoning Districts; 3.2-410 Schedule of Use Categories; Subsection 3.2-415 Schedule of Campus
Industrial Use Categories; Subsection 3.2-600 Mixed Use Zoning Districts; Subsection 3.2-610 Schedule of Use
Categories; Subsection 3.4-200 Glenwood Riverfront Mixed Use Plan District; Subsection 3.4-255 Prohibited
Uses; Subsection 4.7-177 Marijuana Uses; Subsection 6.1-110 Meaning of Specific Words and Terms. These
amendments will allow medical and recreational marijuana retail sales in the Community Commercial and Major
Retail Commercial Zoning Districts; will allow marijuana production, processing and wholesale sales in the Light
Medium, Heavy and Special Heavy Industrial Zoning Districts; will establish Subsection 4.7-177 describing
specific development standards for each licensed use in each affected zoning district; and will add definitions
consistent with state statutes.
I. The use tables of the Springfield Development Code are proposed to be amended as follows:
3.2-300 Commercial Zoning Districts
Commentary. Marijuana retail sales are proposed to be permitted in the Community Commercial (CC) and
Major Retail Commercial (MRC) Zoning Districts under Special Use standards as noted below and detailed under
Special Use Standards section.
Marijuana retail sales are proposed to be prohibited in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and General Office
Zoning Districts for the following reasons:
1) The NC (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District, while listed under “Commercial Districts”, is discussed
under the Metro Plan Residential Designation where “neighborhood commercial services” are allowed as
auxiliary uses. The SDC limits the NC Zoning District to not more than 3 acres in size consisting of a
neighborhood market, hair salon, etc. serving the neighborhood and it is typically surrounded by residential
zoning districts. The proposed separation and buffer restrictions proposed in Subsection 4.7-177 below either
would be difficult to, or cannot be met.
2) The GO (General Office) Zoning District, which is considered a buffer between more intense commercial uses
and residential uses does allow retail uses as a secondary use. However, retail uses are limited to no more than
10 percent of the gross floor area of the office building in which they are sited and are typically serving the
primary office uses. If retail sales are to be buffered from residential districts, any separation standards would
be virtually impossible to meet. For these reasons, staff proposes that marijuana retail outlets should not be
permitted in the GO Zoning District.
3) After PC discussion of zoning principles and the lack of crime statistics to support safety concerns, state
licensed commercial daycare businesses are not buffered in this proposal.
Proposed text is underlined and highlighted in yellow.

Section 3.2-400 Industrial Zoning Districts
Commentary. This section addresses several issues identified with production of marijuana, processing of
marijuana products or wholesaling of marijuana. Staff research of other jurisdictions, state statutes and code
structure leads to the proposal not to permit marijuana dispensaries or retail outlets within industrial zoning
districts as a primary or secondary use. The LMI (Light Medium Industrial) and HI (Heavy Industrial Zoning)
Districts do not permit retail uses as a primary use, which includes, but is not limited to: manufacturing;
warehousing; and research, development and testing laboratories. While these zoning districts do allow
secondary uses serving or related to the primary industrial uses, they are limited to those serving the employees
of the primary industrial use. There are no secondary retail uses in these zoning districts. In addition, the SHI
(Special Heavy Industrial) Zoning District is located outside of the Springfield city limits and is therefore not
eligible for marijuana dispensaries, which are required to be located only within Springfield’s city limits due to
the operational requirements contained in the Springfield Municipal Code Chapter 7. The Springfield Municipal
Code does not apply outside of the city limits.

3.2-415 Schedule of Campus Industrial Use Categories
ATT1, Page 2 of 11
Commentary. While the CI (Campus Industrial) Zoning District does allow certain retail uses, these uses are also
intended to be secondary to the permitted primary Campus Industrial uses. The purpose of these permitted
secondary retail uses is to serve the employees of the CI Zoning District. A retail use will serve customers from
all over the metropolitan area and, therefore, is not considered secondary to permitted primary uses specified in
SDC Subsection 3.2-415. All other marijuana uses will not meet operational or other standards of the district.
Staff proposes adding marijuana dispensaries to the CI prohibited use list:

******************
3.4-200 Glenwood Riverfront Mixed-Use Plan District
Commentary. Springfield has two sets of mixed-use zoning district. One applies to Glenwood Phase 1 only; the
other to the rest of the City. This section addresses the Glenwood Riverfront Mixed-Use Plan Districts.
All the zoning in Glenwood Riverfront Mixed-Use Plan District is either Employment Mixed-Use, Commercial
Mixed-Use, Office Mixed-Use or Employment Mixed-Use. Any permitted primary uses in these zoning districts
were limited to prevent conflicts with retail uses in downtown Springfield or other commercial areas and
purposefully create a distinct business environment. Additionally, the purpose of permitted secondary retail
uses in Glenwood is to serve either the residents or employees of a building, not the general public. Therefore,
marijuana uses would not be allowed as a primary or secondary use in these zoning districts.
3.4-255 Prohibited Uses
The following uses are similar in nature to other prohibited retail and industrial uses and shall be added to the
list of prohibited uses within the Glenwood Riverfront Mixed-Use Plan District:
Marijuana Business.
Section 3.2-600 Mixed Use Zoning Districts
Commentary. These mixed use zoning districts are distinct from Glenwood districts, and differ in permitted
uses, notably residential uses are allowed under all three districts. Therefore it would be very difficult to
regulate any separation between retail or any other marijuana uses and the desired residential uses. For these
reasons staff recommends no marijuana uses be permitted in any mixed use district having a residential district.

II. The following new Special Use Standards are proposed to be added to Code Section 4.7 as indicated
by asterisk in the permitted use tables above:
Section 4.7-177 Marijuana Uses
Commentary. SDC 4.7-100 currently contains “special use” standards for a number of permitted uses in various
zoning districts. These “special use” standards typically involve specific standards designed to control location or
mitigate impacts of a use on surrounding properties. The following proposed Subsection provides specific
standards for permitting marijuana uses consistent with statutory regulations, Springfield Municipal Code and as
recommended or requested for consideration by City Council or the Planning Commission.
A. l Marijuana Retail Outlets shall be:
1. Licensed or registered and operated in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes and applicable
Oregon Administrative Rules.
2. Licensed and regulated as specified in Chapter 7 of the Springfield Municipal Code;
3. Located on and take access from an arterial or collector street; and
ATT1, Page 4 of 11
4. Fully contained in a permanent building in the Community Commercial or Major Retail
Commercial Zoning Districts.
5. Prohibited in any district except CC and MRC.
B. Where permitted by this Code, Marijuana Retail Outlets shall not be located:
Commentary. The following section is designed to be consistent with state statutes and recommendations or
requests for consideration by the Planning Commission or City Council.
1. At the same address as another licensed or registered marijuana business;
2. Within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising a public or private elementary, secondary or
career school attended primarily by minors (“within 1,000 feet” means a straight line
measurement in a radius extending for 1,000 feet or less in every direction from any point on
the boundary line of the real property comprising an existing public or private elementary,
secondary or career school primarily attended by minors);
3. Within 1,000 feet of another l Marijuana Retail Outlet (“within 1,000 feet” means a straight line
measurement in a radius extending for 1,000 feet or less in every direction from any point on
the boundary line of the real property compromising a retail outlet);
Commentary. The following proposed standards are not listed in statute; the intent was to provide
additional protection of children. See the Cole Memorandum1. Staff reviewed adopted or proposed medical
marijuana dispensary zoning regulations from Ashland, Beaverton and Salem and found that they addressed
parks, pre-schools and certified day care facilities. See Medical Marijuana Dispensaries – Other City
Comparisons. Staff originally proposed 1,000 feet of separation between parks, pre-schools and certified day
care centers. However, based upon input from the marijuana industry representatives (250 foot from parks) and
the 100O foot buffer initially discussed, the 500 foot proposal represents a compromise of buffering. Pre-
schools and day care facilities located in residential zoning districts will be addressed in the proposed residential
setback locational standard below.
1 In a memorandum to all United States Attorneys dated August 29, 2013, James M. Cole, Deputy Attorney General distributed
information on Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement. The memorandum states in part: “…the Department (Justice Department) in
recent years has focused its efforts on certain enforcement priorities that are particularly important to the federal government….
Preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors…. The Department’s guidance in this memorandum rests on tis expectation that states
and local governments that have enacted [and/or are proposing to] laws authorizing marijuana-related conduct will implement strong
and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will address the threat those state laws could pose to public safety, public health,
and other law enforcement interests….” The Oregon Legislature has adopted Medical Marijuana regulations enacted by Senate Bill 1531
(2014) which grants Springfield the authority to adopt ordinances within the city limits that impose reasonable regulations on the
operation of medical marijuana facilities registered under ORS 475.314 that are consistent with the latest directive.
ATT1, Page 5 of 11
4. Within 500 feet of parks where minors congregate (“within 500 feet” means a straight line
measurement in a radius extending for 500 feet or less in every direction from any point on the
boundary line of the real property compromising a l Marijuana Retail Outlet).
Commentary. Setbacks from residential zoning districts. These standards are not listed in statute; the intent is to
provide additional protection of children. This topic was initially discussed with City Council during review of
regulations amending the Springfield Municipal Code to regulate licensing medical marijuana dispensaries in the
City. A number of options were mentioned from 1,000 feet to 100 feet and possible distanced in between. Staff
reviewed adopted, or soon to be adopted, medical marijuana dispensary zoning regulations from Ashland,
Beaverton and Salem regarding setbacks from residential zoning districts. Staff found Ashland proposed a 200
foot setback, Salem proposed a 100 foot setback and Beaverton has no setback. Please note that when zoning
was first applied along Main Street, commercial zoning included a 200 foot-wide swath that created a number of
lots that were split zoned Community Commercial and residential. The linear pattern of Main Street also would
prohibit the establishment of any medical marijuana dispensaries in this area if a 1,000 or even 200 foot setback
was to be imposed. Staff prepared maps showing a proposed 50 foot and 100 foot setback from residential
properties along Main Street and in other areas of Springfield where Community Commercial and Major Retail
Commercial zoning occurs for review of Council and Planning Commission. Based upon input from Council, the
Commission and initial feedback from marijuana industry representatives, a 50 foot setback was proposed. The
50 foot option should cover all residential pre-schools and day care facilities in the residential zoning districts
and ensure that no retail outlet is located immediately adjacent to a residential zone. No separate setback for
commercial day care facilities is proposed.
5. Within 50 feet of any residential zoning district (“within 50 feet” means a straight line
measurement in a radius extending for 50 feet, including public right-of-way, in every direction
from any point of the property containing a Marijuana Retail Outlet
C. Additional Marijuana Retail Outlet Regulations. A Marijuana Retail Outlet shall:
1. Not have a drive-up window;
2. Not operate from any temporary facility in any zone.
3. Provide for secure disposal of marijuana remnants or by-products, which shall not be placed
within the businesses exterior refuse containers.
4. Not include outdoor storage of merchandise, raw materials, or any other material associated
with retail sales.
5. Preclude any use of products on site unless expressly exempted by state statute.
6. Not be allowed as a home occupation in any zone.
Commentary: The following proposed Subsection provides specific standards for permitting production,
processing or wholesale marijuana uses consistent with statutory regulations, Springfield Municipal Code and as
recommended or requested for consideration by City Council or the Planning Commission.
ATT1, Page 6 of 11
D. Industrial Uses
Commentary: Discussions with the Planning Commission of characteristics related to production identified a
need for reasonable operating and location conditions designed to mitigate olfactory impacts related to outdoor
and indoor grow operations. The state defines two tiers of canopy sizes for indoor and outdoor grows under
Production licenses:
Indoor Production Outdoor Production
Tier 1- Up to 5,000 square feet Tier 1- up to 20,000 square feet
Tier II- 5001-10,000 square feet Tier II- 20,001-40,000 square feet
Considering the potential olfactory impacts related to both indoor and outdoor production and other site design
characteristics required for site plan and MDS approval the following special standards are proposed by staff for
production within the Heavy Industrial District:
Production Facilities
1. Indoor Production Facilities licensed by the State of Oregon as a Tier 1 operation shall be located
within a permanent structure on a lot no smaller than 1 acre in size, shall not be located within
500 feet of any zoning district allowing residential use, and shall provide a controlled exhaust
system with filters designed to significantly reduce or eliminate odors at the property line.
2. Indoor Production Facilities licensed by the State of Oregon as a Tier II operation shall be located
within a permanent structure on a lot no smaller than 5 acres in size, shall not be located within
1000 feet of any zoning district allowing residential use, and shall provide a controlled exhaust
system with filters designed to significantly reduce or eliminate odors at the property line.
3. Outdoor Production Facilities licensed by the State of Oregon as a Tier I operation shall be
located on a lot no smaller than 5 acres in size, shall not be located within 1000 feet of any
zoning district allowing residential use, and shall be screened or secured in accordance with
state statutes and this code for outdoor storage. Any structure on site used for production
purposes shall provide a controlled exhaust system with filters designed to significantly reduce
or eliminate odors at the property line.
4. Outdoor Production Facilities licensed by the State of Oregon as a Tier II operation shall be
located on a lot no smaller than 10 acres in size, shall not be located within 1000 feet of any
zoning district allowing residential use and shall be screened or secured in accordance with state
statutes and this code for outdoor storage. Any structure on site used for production purposes
shall provide a controlled exhaust system with filters designed to significantly reduce or
eliminate odors at the property line.
ATT1, Page 7 of 11
Commentary: Discussions with the Planning Commission of the known characteristics related to processing
identified a need for reasonable operating conditions designed to mitigate impacts related to the most intense
processing operations, notably extraction with butane or other chemicals.
Processing Facilities
1. Processing Facilities performing testing, including marijuana testing laboratories, processing, or
manufacture of edibles or concentrates shall be located within LMI or HI Districts and be
completely enclosed within a permanent structure provide with a controlled exhaust system
with filters designed to significantly reduce or eliminate odors at the property line.
2. Processing Facilities processing cannabinoid extracts shall be located within HI Districts, shall be
located 500 feet from any district allowing residential use and be completely enclosed within a
permanent structure provide with a controlled exhaust system with filters designed to
significantly reduce or eliminate odors at the property line and shall be subject to Type II Site
Plan Review.
3. Licensed or registered and operated in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes and applicable
Oregon Administrative Rules.
4. Licensed and regulated as specified in Chapter 7 of the Springfield Municipal Code;
5. Located on and take access from an arterial or collector street; and
Commentary: Discussions with the Planning Commission of the known characteristics related to production
identified a need for reasonable operating conditions designed to mitigate olfactory impacts related to outdoor
and indoor grow operations.
Wholesale Facilities
1. Licensed or registered and operated in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes and applicable
Oregon Administrative Rules.
2. Licensed and regulated as specified in Chapter 7 of the Springfield Municipal Code.
3. Located on and take access from an arterial or collector street.
4. Within 50 feet of any residential zoning district (“within 50 feet” means a straight line
measurement in a radius extending for 50 feet, including public right-of-way, in every direction
from any point of the property containing a Marijuana Retail Outlet.
5. No retail sales shall be permitted from any wholesale marijuana distribution facility.
6. No outdoor storage of any marijuana items shall occur at a wholesale marijuana distribution
facility.
ATT1, Page 8 of 11
Commentary. The intent of the Subsection below is to not penalize existing marijuana dispensaries that have
been: 1) approved prior to these proposed amendments; or 2) if a school, park or another protected use locates
within a proposed locational standard area after a marijuana business has been approved under these proposed
regulations.
E. The siting of a future school, daycare or park use that affects a licensed marijuana business existing at
the time of the siting, shall not make the existing marijuana business in violation of the locational
standards specified in this Code, nor shall it be grounds to refuse to renew a license.
F. In the event that a licensed or registered marijuana business is existing on [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE OF
ORDINANCE HERE], that existing use is allowed to continue as approved. In the event a marijuana
business is unoccupied, discontinued or unlicensed for 6 months or more after the above date, it shall
be subject to the non-conforming use standards of Section 5.8-100 of this code.
Commentary. In addition to meeting the proposed locational standards, establishment of marijuana businesses
will require the following applicable planning review process. All marijuana businesses are required to be
located on properties annexed to the City of Springfield to allow enforcement and licensing as prescribed by the
Springfield Municipal Code, and all businesses permitted under this code are considered urban uses and are not
permitted in the UF/10 Overlay District.
G. Planning Review.
1. When the proposed marijuana business is a change of use in an existing building, Minimum
Development Standards (MDS) as specified in Section 5.15-100 will apply.
2. When the proposed marijuana business is to be located in a new building, Site Plan Review
standards as specified in Section 5.17-100 will apply.
3. MDS or Site Plan Review approval by the Director will require, in addition to any other
conditions of approval, a copy of the state license or registration and a copy of the City of
Springfield marijuana business license pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Springfield Municipal Code.
These documents shall be required prior to occupancy.
4. All marijuana businesses allowed under this code shall occur on properties inside city limits.
Commentary. The statutory definitions of medical and recreational uses consistent with Chapter 7 of the
Springfield Municipal Code will be inserted prior to public review.
