PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Ordinance Changing the Zone Designation on Property at 790 South 42nd Street from Low
Density Residential to Medium Density Residential.
ORDINANCE NO.1 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP FOR TAX
LOT 1201, ASSESSOR'S MAP 18-02-05-22 IN THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD, LANE
COUNTY, OREGON FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MEDIUM DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL.
City Planner Mark Metzger presented the staff report on this issue. ORS 215.503 was recently
amended to require City Councils to approve zone changes by ordinance. Section 12.030 of
the Springfield Development Code describes the criteria to be used by the Council in
considering rezoning requests. These criteria state that the proposed change:
.
1. Must be consistent with the Metro Plan Text and Diagram.
2. Must be consistent with applicable Refinement Plans, special area studies and functional
plans.
3. It must be shown that the property is able to be served by the orderly and efficient
extension of key urban facilities and services.
The subject property is currently zoned Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Springfield
Zoning Map. The Metro Plan designation for the property is Medium Density Residential
(MDR). Approval of the rezoning request would resolve the Plan/Zone conflict.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the issue on June 1, 1999 and
recommends approval of the rezoning request.
This item is scheduled for a second reading and adoption June 21, 1999.
There is no financial impact to the city budget.
No action was taken, as this is a first reading of the ordinance.
Mayor Maine opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak. Mayor Maine closed the
public hearing.
2. Lane-Klamath Fiber Consortium.
ORDINANCE NO.2 - AN ORDINANCE RATIFYING THE CREATION OF THE
REGIONAL FIBER OPTIC CONSORTIUM AND AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
CREATING THE CONSORTIUM ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD.

Senior Management Analyst Len Goodwin presented the staff report on this issue. Staff of the
involved local governments have continued discussions on the terms of an intergovernmental
agreement to create a consortium (the Regional Fiber Consortium) to take control of and
manage fiber optic cable donated to local governments by Pacific FiberLink. Staff has
reached a consensus on the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement to create the
Consortium. ORS 109.085 requires that when an intergovernmental agreement creates a new
entity, each participating local government must enact an ordinance ratifying the creation of
the entity.
No action was taken as the ordinance received a first reading only.
Mr. Goodwin noted a typographical error contained on page 2, section 5, the third line from
the bottom. This referenced the draft IGA dated May 28, 1999 and stated the date should be
June 1, 1999. The ordinance would be corrected before 2nd reading of the ordinance on June
21, 1999.
Mayor Maine opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak. Mayor Maine closed the
public hearing.
