of Tax Lot 6901 on Lane County Assessor's Map 17-03-34-13 approximately 27' to the north into Tax
Lot 6900 to increase the buildable area of Tax Lot 690 I.

Low Density Residential/UF-IO on the City of Springfield Zoning Map. The slope of Tax Lot 6901 is
greater than 15% and the provisions of Springfield Development Code Article 26-Hillside Development
Overlay District apply. The minimum lot size in the Hillside Development Overlay District is 10,000
square feet and the minimum street frontage is 90 feet.

Otber Uses Autborized by tbe Decision: None. Future development will be in accordance with the
provisions of the Springfield Development Code and all applicable pennit procedures.
Criteria of Approval (Ref. Section 33.030 of tbe Springfield Development Cod~: The application
shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied based on compliance with the criteria of Section
, '
33.030 of the Springfield Development Code. Staff shall develop Findings of Fact demonstrating that,
the lot line adjustment does not:
(1) CREATE A NEW LOT OR LAND-LOCKED PARCEL;
The proposal is to adjust the interior rear property line common to Tax Lots 6900 and 690 I of
Assessor's Map 17-03-34-13. Tax Lot 6901 abuts W. D Street along the south property line and
has an existing 25' access easement extending north to Edgemont Way. Tax Lot 6900 abuts
Edgemont Way along north property line. The lot line adjustment will not affect access to public
right of way or create a new lot. o" -
.
,
.
.
FINDING: This proposal does not create any additional lots or land-locked parcels because the
lots are pre-existing and maintain frontage on public streets, therefore this criterion has been
met,
(2) REDUCE AN EXISTING LOT BELOW THE MINIMUM DIMENSIONS
ESTABLISHED BY THE APPLICABLE ZONING DISTRICT OR OTIlERWISE
VIOLATE STANDARDS OF THIS CODE, OR STRUCTURAL SPECIALTY AND LIFE
SAFETY CODE STANDARDS;
TAX LOT 6900: The area of tax lot 6900 will be decreased to 15,787 square feet after
adjustment of the rear (south) property line approximately 27 feet to the north. Approximately
139 feet of lot frontage on Edgemont Way will be unaffected and exceeds the minimum
requirements of SDC 16.030 for lots on east-west streets. 18' setback of all structures from rear
property line will be maintained, exceeding the 10' minimum required by SDC 16.050.
TAX LOT 690 I: SDC 26.030 states: "The Hillside Development Overlay District ~hall
apply to all areas of the City and its urbanizable area above 670 feet elevation or where the
slope of the land is 15 per cent or greater in the residential area." The proposed lot has a
southern elevation of approximately 440 feet and a northern elevation of approximately 455 feet,
according to City topographical information. The proposed lot depth is 75 feet north to south.
The slope of the proposed lot is approximately 20%. SDC Table 26-1 specifies a minimum lot
size of 10,000 square feet and a minimum frontage of90 feet for lots with slopes between 15
and 25%. The proposed lot line adjustment will increase the area of Tax Lot 690 I to 10,519
square feet, exceeding the 10,000 square foot minimum size requirements of SDC Article 26.
The 123 feet oflot frontage on W. D Street is unaffected and exceeds the 90' minimum frontage
requirements of SDC Article 26.
FINDING: The proposed Tax Lot 6900 exceeds the minimum dimension andfrontage standards
ofSDC 16.030 and 16.050; the proposed Tax Lot 6901 exceeds the minimum dimension and
frontage standards SDC 26.050 for residential lots within the Hillside Development Overlay
District, therefore this criterion has been met.
(3) IMPEDE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ADOPTED TRANSPORTATION OR
PUBLIC FACILITIES PLANS OR APPROVED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
PLANS;
The two properties seeking Development Approval are currently outside City limits and within
the UF-IO Overlay District. The subject site is within an "island" of Urban Growth Boundary
area surrounded and served by the majority of urban services as defined in Metro Plan Poli~y 7a,
pg, II-B-4. Applications for development requiring City services must submit an expedited
annexation application to the Lane County Boundary Commission prior to Final Approval from
the Director.
FINDING: Stafffinds this Criterion has not been met because granting Development Approval
to properties requiring City services without an annexation application impedes implementation
of City transportation and public facilities plans by increasing maintenance costs of existing
facilities. Thefollowing Condition of Approval is appliedfor compliance with Criteria 3:
2
'J
.
.
.
Condition 1) An Expedited Annexa/ion Applicationfor the adjusted Tax Lot 6901 must be
submitted to the City of Springfield prior to Final Development Approval.
(4) VIOLATE ANY PREVIOUS REQUIREMENTS OR CONDITIONS THE APPROVAL
AUTHORITY MA Y HAVE IMPOSED AT A PRIOR PUBLIC HEARING OR MEETING;
AND
The proposed adjustment of Tax Lots 6900 and 6901 ofLC Map 17-03-34-13 does not violate
any requirements or conditions imposed at the time of prior public hearing or meeting.
FINDING: This criterion has been met because there are no known previous agreements or
conditions of approval affected by this application.
(5) REDESIGN OR RECONFIGURE LOTS ,\\ ..rt.Ll~ A SUBDMSION BY A SERIES OF
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS WHICH CREATE TWO
LOTS FROM THREE LOTS SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED A REDESIGN OR
RECONFIGURATION OF LOTS.
The parcels involved are not within a platted subdivision; no additional lot line adjustments have
been proposed, therefore this criteria does not apply.
FINDING: The Lot Line Adjustment does not redesign or reconfigure lots within a subdivision
because lot lines are being moved to redistribute rear yard area of existing lots and no other
changes are proposed
Conclusion: Considering these findings off act, staff finds the Lot Line Adjustment complies with the
criteria of Article 33, Section 33.030 of the Springfield Development Code and approves the application
with the conditions specified below.
