100. THE GLENWOOD URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
A. General
The primary intention of this Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan is to assist in providing
basic infrastructure for not only underdeveloped riverfront areas so it becomes ideal for
high quality, mixed use development but also for underused vacant and underdeveloped
industrial sites so they can become vital to the economic growth of the City and Lane
County. This cannot readily be done without public involvement because of multiple
ownerships; high land prices; and parcels of size, shape, and lack of access they are not
conducive to development. The Urban Renewal Plan includes projects, activities, and
actions which treat the causes of the blight and deterioration in the Glenwood Urban
Renewal Area.
The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan consists of Part One - Text and Part Two - EXhibits.
The governing body of the City of Springfield acts as the Urban Renewal Agency of the
City of Springfield and is accepted as the Urban Renewal Agency for the Glenwood
Urban Renewal Plan by the Lane County Board of County Commissioners through the
Board's approval of the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan.
This ~lan has been prepared pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 457, the
Oregon Constitution, and all applicable laws and ordinances of the State of Oregon, Lane
County, and the City of Springfield respectively. All such applicable laws and ordinances
are made part ofthis Plan, whether expressly referred to in the text or not.
The Urban Renewal Area is a single geographic area with a single continuous boundary
in which a variety of activities and projects are contemplated to eliminate blight and the
causes of blight and are intended to create an environment in which the private sector
may develop uses compatible with the purposes of this Plan.
The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan was approved by the Lane County Board of
Commissioners on November ~ 2004 by Resolution No.O'l-li,J3.k;md the City
Council of the City of Springfield on December -'.L, 2004 by Ordinance No. {p 108

302. EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN AREA COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN
ORS 457.085 requires that ail Urban Renewal Plan relate to definite local objectives. The
Metro Plan, the area's comprehensive land use plan, considers a wide range of goals and
policies relating to land uses, traffic, transportation, public utilities, recreation and
community facilities, economic development, housing and environmental protection.
Citations of relevant goals and policies are included as Attachment "B" of this Plan.
Springfield's controlling land use document is its comprehensive plan: the Eugene-
Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). It was adopted locally and
acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) in 1982
and amended in 1987.
As used in this document, the term "Metro Plan" refers not only to the Metropolitan Area
General Plan as a document in itself, but also those adopted neighborhood and special
purpose/functional refinement plans which implement and are subservient to the
Metropolitan Area General Plan itself. Mid-period review of the Metro Plan was
completed locally and approved in. accordance with the post-acknowledgment procedures
ofORS 197 in 1986. Other portions of the Metro Plan which affect the Urban Renewal
Plan, such as the Willamalane P~rks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan, Lane County
Solid Waste Management Plan, Lane County Parks and Open Space Master Plan, and the
TransPlan (special purpose/functional refinement plans of the Metro Plan) and the
GlenwoodRefinement Plan (regulating land use in all of Glenwood included in the
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan) were adopted by the City Council, and approved in
accordance with state post-acknowledgment procedures.
The projects in the urban renewal plan also address goals and objectives set forth in other
adopted plan documents. These findings are outlined here. Projects listed in the
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan project list are supported by policies from the Metro Plan
and the Glenwood Refinement Plan. The following is a list of the supporting policies for
each oftheprojects and indicate the conformance of the Plan to local land use plans and
policies. (Projects are referenced by line item number according to the project list
spreadsheet in the Report accompanying this Plan.)

1.1 The City should consult with other metropolitan agencies to update
TransPlan, addressing the need for improvements to Franklin Boulevard,
including policies concerning mass transit and Nodal Deveiopment.
1.2 The City should consult with the Oregon Department of Transportation to
identify needed improvements and a means of financing them. Items to
consider when improving Franklin Boulevard/Mc V ay Highway are the
following: .
a. Sidewalks along both sides of the highway with a priority on
developing sidewalks on the south side of Franklin Boulevard when
Franklin Boulevard is improved (Note: Consideration should be given
to extending sidewalks on the north side of Franklin from the '
Springfield Bridge to the intersection with Glenwood Boulevard.
However, the most westerly extent of sidewalks on the north side of
Franklin Boulevard will be decided upon at the time Franklin
improvements are designed. The design should consider the need for
pedestrians to travel on the north side of Franklin Boulevard westward
from Glenwood Boulevard as well as the physical and topographical
restraints for placing a sidewalk north of the highway at this location);
b. Bike lanes connecting to Eugene, Springfield, and Lane Community
College;
c. Intersection improvements to allow better differentiation of the local
tntersecting streets, such as providing curbs and gutters' and better
signage to make it safer to turn off Franklin Boulevard onto local
streets;
d. Improvements to traffic flow, especially during commuting hours,

400. PROPOSED LAND USES
The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan conforms to the Glenwood Refinement Plan. The
Refinement Plan's Land Use Element (pp. 9-46) describes in detail the existing and
proposed land uses (Zoning Map and Plan Diagram are Exhibit 2 of this Plan). Excerpts
of the Refinement Plan relating to existing land use follow. Proposed land uses, policies,
and implementation strategies are described in detail (pp. 21-46) for 10 sub-areas in
Glenwood (see Plan Diagram).
"The Land Use Element addresses the population, housing, land use, and zoning
characteristics of the Glenwood area. It provides direction on the way future growth and
development should occur based on existing development patterns and zoning, and based
on the goals and policies contained in the Metro Plan and related policy documents.
In general, diversity in type and condition characterize the existing land use patterns in
Glenwood. . .. While there are, distinct residential and industrial areas, there are also other
areas that are mixed commercial and industrial areas. Sites and structures are fOl,lIld in a
range of standard and substandard conditions.
The Glenwood area's unique combination and patternofland uses are due in part to its
central location between Eugene and Springfield and in part to its location along major
transportation corridors. In particular, the transportation corridors of Franklin Boulevard
and the McVay Highway cater to automobile-oriented commercial/industrial uses and
travel-oriented residential uses" such as mobile home/recreational vehicle parks.
Glenwood's central location has also prompted large regional services to locate here,
such as the Lane County Solid Waste Facility and more recently Lane Transit District's
(L TD) bus maintenance and operations facility.
Much of Glenwood's development has occurred without benefit of City services and a
majority of the area is still outside the Springfield city limits. This largely non-urban
form of development has also affected Glenwood's land use pattern, Most development
has had to occur without sewers, resulting in land-intensive rather than labor-intensive
industrial uses. Also, because of sewer unavailability, much of the 618 acres ofland in
Glenwood remains vacant or underutilized. In fact, there is more vacant land (27 percent
or 167 acres) in Glenwood than in any other single land use category. ...
... The community of Glenwood has a population of approximately 1,330 people. Most of
the residents are found either in the Central Residential subarea or in the eight mobile
home parks located along Franklin Boulevard and the McVay Highway.
Glenwood has a small average household size (1.82 persons) and a high percentage of
one-person households (43 percent). Glenwood has a significantly higher proportion of
elderly persons than Eugene or Springfield. . ..
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan
November 15, 2004

. . . Glenwood serves an important function in the metropolitan area by providing low-cost
housing, including manufactured dwellings. Residential development in Glenwood
generally consists of single-family houses, manufactured dwellings on individual lots,
and manufactured dwellings in parks. The density in the residential area is 6.9 units per
acre, within the low-density residential range of 1-10 units per acre. . ..
. . . Glenwood has a very high percentage of manufactured dwellings compared with other
types of housing. There are 744 dwelling units in Glenwood. Of these, 72 percent are
manufactured dwellings (66 percent in parks and 6 percent on individual lots) and 23
percent are single-family residences (See Figure 3 Page 12, Number of Residential Units
by Structure Type). There are 46 manufactured dwellings on individual lots in Glenwood.
These were established when Glenwood was under Lane County's jurisdiction. The City
allows Type I manufactured dwellings on vacant lots, outside of manufactured dwelling
parks; and Type I and II manufactured dwellings within manufactured dwelling p~ks. ...
.. .There are 167 single-family residences in Glenwood. Of these, 42 percent are
owner-occupied. Eugene's windshield survey conducted to determine general housing
quality has indicated that a majority (62 percent) of the residential structures in
Glenwood are in need of major repair. ...
.. . Over the past 30 years, industrial development has gradually become the single most
predominant form of development (14 percent) in Glenwood. In line with this industrial
orientation, a majority of Glenwood's total acreage (59 percent) and of Glenwood's
vacant acreage (65 percent) is designated in the Metropolitan Plan for light-medium
industrial use. Industrial park sites and freestanding industrial sites are available for
development as well. A majority of the land (68 percent) in Glenwood is also zoned for
industrial use.
On the other hand, there is very little land developed (six percent), designated (eight
percent), or zoned (two percent) for retail commercial uses. These commercial uses are
located mostly along Franklin Boulevard.
About 116 acres of industrially zoned land in Glenwood is vacant. Of this total, a
majority of these parcels are five acres or less in size (There are 73 acres in 67 parcels).
Conversely, there are 43 acres in five parcels that are siX: acres or larger (See Figure 4
Page 13, Industrially Zoned Undeveloped Area). These figures indicate that most of the
industrial land in Glenwood is best suited for small to mid-size industrial uses."

500. OUTLINE OF DEVELOPMENT
The key component of this Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan is to assist in providing basic
infrastructure for not only the underdeveloped riverfront area so it becomes ideal for high
quality, mixed use development, but also for the underused vacant and underdeveloped
industrial sites so they can be vital to the economic growth of the City and Lane County;
This cannot readily be done without public involvement because of multiple ownerships;
high land prices; and parcels of size, shape, and lack of access that are not conducive to
development. The Urban Renewal Plan includes projects, activities, and actions which
treat the causes of blight and deterioration in the Glenwood Urban Renewal Area. Project
activities to treat these conditions include:
1. Assist in improvements to streets, curbs, and sidewalks to encourage new
development in the project area, and to address pedestrian and vehicular safety
problems.
2. Assist in improvements to water, storm and sanitary sewer infrastructure to
encourage new development in the project area.
3. Assist in activities to improve the visual appearance ofthe renewal area and
provide a safer, more attractive pedestrian environment, including streetscape and
landscape improvements, and development of public parks and open spaces.
4. Authorization to construct public parking facilities.
5. Authorization to assist in the rehabilitation and renovation of residential and
commercial properties in the renewal Area.
6 Authorization to lend financial assistance to encourage property owners or
potential redevelopers to undertake new construction projects within the project
area.
7. Authority to acquire and dispose of land for public improvements, rights-of-way,
utility improvements, and private development.
8. Administration of the Renewal Agency and Renewal Plan.
Section 600 provides further description of each urban renewal project to be undertaken
within Glenwood Urban Renewal Area.

600. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTS TO BE UNDERTAKEN
In order to achieve the objectives ofthis Plan, the following activities will be undertaken
on behalf of the City by the Springfield Economic Development Agency (SEDA) the
City's Urban Renewal Agency in accordance with applicable federal, state, county, and
city laws, policies, and procedures. The Urban Renewal Agency may fund these activities
in full, in part, or seek other sources of funding for them. The description ofprojects
herein provides general authority to undertake these activities. These project activities
may be modified, or expanded upon as needed to meet renewal plan objectives. Changes
will be undertaken in accordance with procedures for amendments to this Plan.
A. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Public improvements include the construction, repair, or replacement of sidewalks,
streets, parking, parks and open spaces, pedestrian amenities, water, sanitary sewer and
storm sewer facilities, wetlands and riverside/riparian improvements, and other public
facilities necessary to carry out the goals and objectives of this plan.
1. Street, Intersection, Bicycle, and Sidewalk Improvements. There are deficiencies
in streets, curb, and sidewalks within the project area, including the lack of access
to several large areas between Franklin Boulevard and the Willamette River that
need better public access to allow development to occur. Major deficiencies also
exist along almost all arterials, collectors and street corridors throughout the
renewal area. To remedy these conditions, it is the intent of the Renewal Agency
to participate in funding sidewalk, roadway, and access improvements including
design, redesign, construction, resurfacing, repair and acquisition of right-of way
for curbs, streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian and bicycle ways.
2. Storm and Sanitary Sewer Systems and Electrical/Water Systems. City staffhas
identified a list of missing sanitary and storm sewer systems that are needed
throughout the Glenwood area and some improvements to electric and water
services for potential industrial users. It is the intent of the SEDA to assist the
utility providers in building new links and repairing and upgrading selected
portions of these utility service systems to enhance opportunities or secure
development.
3. Streetscape Projects. This activity will enable the SEDA to participate in
activities improving the visual appearance of the project area. To carry out these
objectives, the Renewal Agency will undertake a variety of improvements to the
appearance of key locations within the urban renewal area. These improvements
may include street lighting, trash receptacles, benches, historical markers, street
trees and landscaping, signage, or removal of trees that pose a safety hazard.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan
November 15,2004

4. Pedestrian, Bike, and Transit Facilities. These activities will include pedestrian,
bicycle and transit connections between the renewal project area and the
Downtown core and residential areas in Glenwood and across the Willamette
River. Activities may include bikeways and paths, bicycle parking and storage,
transit stops and pullouts, and other related activities which will promote
pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation uses in the renewal area.
5. Public Open Spaces. The Renewal Agency may participate in funding the design,
acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of existing or new park sites or other
appropriate public spaces, or parks or public facilities within the urban renewal
area, including improvements listed in the Willamalane Parks and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan or Lane County Parks Division.
6. Public Safety Improvements. To achieve the objectives of this Plan, and to target
public investments in a manner which benefits the Renewal area and Glenwood
and Springfield residents, the SEDA is authorized to improve, acquire or
construct safety-related, health, and public-~ervice-related facilities within the
urban renewal area, including those in partnership with Lane County.
7. Public Parking Facilities. It is anticipated that development of commercial
property in the renewal area may create demand for additional public parking
within the renewal area. Accordingly, the Agency is authorized to participate in
funding the acquisition and construction of new public parking facilities within
the renewal area.
8. Public Signage and Entrance Improvements. The entrances to the Glenwood and
Springfield communities have deficiencies in indicating the locations of tourism
and other attractions of economic significance. The public face of the community
is first reflected by the entrance signage and then by the acknowledgment and
recognition of natural, cultural, and historical assets and landmarks important to
the community's quality oflife, development, and economy. The Agency is
authorized to provide suitable signage, markers, art and related improvements to
signify the major assets in Glenwood and the entrances to the City. The projects
would.be developed with recommendations from the Springfield Arts and
Historical Commissions.
9. Major Community Development Improvements. The locational qualities of much
of Glenwood (bounded by Interstate-5 and the Willamette River and between
Springfield and Eugene) have not been ,achieved because of the lack of public
infrastructure and the difficulty of capturing an initial major facility (like a civic
center, conference center, athletic facility, hotel, etc.) to launch development or
redevelopment that would anchor mixed-use development on the riverfront. The
Agency is authorized to participate in providing public improvements, public
parking, housing, and other public facilities as it deems necessary to achieve the
intent and objectives of the Plan.

B. REDEVELOPMENT THROUGH NEW CONSTRUCTION
1. It is the intent of this Plan to stimulate new investment by public, private, non-
profit, or community-based organizations on vacant or underutilized property to
achieve the goals and objectives of this Plan, and in particular to assure that new
investments serve to benefit the existing residents and businesses in the area.
Redevelopment through new construction may be achieved in two ways:
(a) By public or private property owners, with or without financial assistance
by the Agency;
(b) . By acquisition of property by the Agency for redevelopment or resale to
others for redevelopment.
2. Redevelopment and Rehabilitation Financing. The Renewal Agency is authorized
to set guidelines, establish loan programs and provide below-market interest rate
and market rate loans and provide such other forms of financial assistance to
property owners and those desiring to redevelop, rehabilitate, and acquire
property, as it may deem appropriate in order to achieve the objectives of this
Plan. These loan programs could include both rehabilitation assistance for
residential, commercial and industrial structures and sites. The obligations of the
redeveloper, ifany, shall be in accordance with Section 800 of this Plan. The
obligations of an owner-occupied residential structure will be developed to assist
primarily low- and moderate income households in correcting health and safety
problems.
C. PRESERVATION, REHABILITATION, DEVELOPMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT
This activity will enable the Renewal Agency to carry out Council, Metro Plan, and
Glenwood Refinement Plan objectives for improving the appearance the project area, and
encouraging infill and reuse in the project area. The Renewal Agency may participate,
through loans, grants, or both, in maintaining and improving exterior and interior
conditions of buildings in the renewal area. The Renewal Agency also is authorized to
provide loans or other forms of financial assistance to property owners, or persons,
desiring to acquire or lease buildings or land from the Agency. The Agency may make
this assistance available as it deems necessary to achieve the objectives of this Plan.
D. PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION
In order to carry out the objectives of this Plan, the Renewal Agency is authorized to
acquire land or buildings for public and private development purposes. The procedures
for acquiring and disposing ofproperty are described in Sections 700 and 800 of this

REPORT ON THE GLENWOOD URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The primary purpose of the Glenwood urban renewal plan is to revitalize the emerging industrial
areas ofthis western part of Springfield and to redevelop the Willamette River-front areas along
the north and easterly portions of Glenwood. The intent is to create jobs by attracting new
industrial business, building housing, and attracting commercial businesses to the mixed
residential-commercial zoned areas of Glenwoo.d along the Willai:nette riverfront.
The renewal plan builds upon other work and study efforts focused on Glenwood. They include
the Glenwood Refinement Plan (1999), the Glenwood Jurisdictional Study (1997), the Glenwood
Riverfront Plan (2004), and the Willamalane Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (2004).
The Glenwood urban renewal area is larger than the Glenwood Riverfront Plan project area of
2004 and incorporates that area within its boundary.
The General Introduction to Land Use (p. 9) in the Glenwood Refinement Plan forms a good
general summary of the current state of conditions within the Glenwood Urban Renewal area. It
states:
"In general, diversity in type and condition characterize the existing land use patterns in
Glenwood (See the Existing.Land Use Map on Page 14). While there are distinct
residential and industrial areas, there are also other areas that are mixed commercial and
industrial areas. Sites and structures are found in a range of standard and substandard
conditions.
The Glenwood area's unique combination and pattern ofland uses are due in part to its
central location between Eugene and Springfield and in part to its location along major
transportation corridors. In particular, the transportation corridors of Franklin Boulevard
and the McVay Highway cater to automobile-oriented commercial/industrial uses and
travel-oriented residential uses, such as mobile home/recreational vehicle parks.
Glenwood's central location has also prompted large regional services to locate here,
such as the Lane County Solid Waste Facility and more recently Lane Transit District's
(LTD) bus maintenance and operations facility.
Much of Glenwood's development has occurred without benefit of City services and a
majority ofthe area is still outside the Springfield city limits. This largely non-urban
fonn of development has also affected Glenwood's land use pattern. Most development
has had to occur without sewers, resulting in land-intensive rather than labor-intensive
industrial uses. Also, because of sewer unavailability, much of the 618 acres ofland in
Glenwood remains vacant or underutilized."
A general lack of urban services has restricted development, hindered redevelopment, and
constrained widespread improvement in the quality oflife in Glenwood. With a strong sense of
residential community and neighborliness, the residents have an ambitious vision and direction
outlined in the Refinement Plan. However, most of the problems are physical and need funds to
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report

November 15,2004
"
be built or tharvision will not be realized. The Gl~nwood Urban Renewal Plan is intended to be
the combination ofprojects and funding to overcome the problems and achieve the vision in the
Refinement Plan (pp. 7-8):
"II. COMMUNITY VISION
Glenwood as an area that provides a strong sense of residential community and
neighborliness and affordable housing.
Glenwood as a prime industrial location which allows industrial and residential
development to be compatible with one another.
Franklin Boulevard and the McVay Highway as attractive commercial corridors with safe
pedestrian and bicycle access.
The Willamette River frontage as an area that is accessible to the public and is developed
with a compatible mixture of uses that take advantage of the river's aesthetic and
recreational assets.
Glenwood as an area that is easily accessible for pedestrians, 1:>icyclists, and motorists to
both Eugene and Springfield.
Glenwood as an area in which full urban services will become available over time, with
particular attention to provision of sanitary sewers.
m. COMMUNITY DIRECTION
1. Maintain and improve Glenwood's sense of identity and community as it transitions into
the City.
2. Maintain the viability ofthe residential area within Glenwood by conserving and
upgrading the quality of existing housing wherever possible while retaining its affordable
character.
3. Promote Glenwood as an attractive industrial area because of its easy access to 1-5 and
rail service, its convenient location between Eugene and Springfield, and the availability
of a variety of sizes of vacant industrial parcels.
4. Reduce conflicts between industrial and residential development through use of site
review procedures.
5. Foster Franklin Boulevard.and the McVay Highway as a desirable commercial location
while improving its visual quality.
6. Encourage a variety of commercial, industrial, and residential uses as an integral part of
the Glenwood community.
7. Promote use of rail service as a viable method of transport of industrial materials and
goods.
8. Improve bicycle and pedestrian access into, out of, and within Glenwood and along the
nver.
9. Provide urban services in a timely way, including providing sanitary sewers to those who
need them, improving street drainage, ensuring timely public safety response, and
maintaining the viability of James Park or other park facilities.
10. Be sensitive to annexation concerns and provide for voluntary annexation wherever
feasible.
11, Provide access to the river and promote development opportunities along the river, which
take advantage of the river's natural assets and are sensitive to th~ river environment.
12. Improve the community's quality oflife by addressing such issues as litter and noise
pollution.
The existence of blighting conditions extends throughout the larger area covered by the
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report

November 15, 2004
DEFINITION OF BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
ORS 457.010 defines "blight" as follows: (underlining is added for emphasis)
"Blighted areas mean areas which, by reason of deterioration, faulty planning, inadequate or
improper facilities, deleterious land use or the existence of unsafe structures, or any combination
of these factors, are detrimental to the safety, health or welfare of the community. A blighted
area is characterized by the existence of one or more of the following conditions:
"The existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for living, commercial,
industrial or other purposes, or any combination of those uses, which are unfit or unsafe to
occupy for those purposes because of anyone or a combination of the following conditions:
"Defective design and quality of physical construction;
"Faulty interior arrangement and exterior spacing;
"Overcrowding and a high density of population;
"Inadequate provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces and recreation facilities; or
"Obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character or shifting of uses."
"An economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse of property resulting from faulty planning;
"The division or subdivision and sale of property or lots of irregular form and shape and
inadequate size or dimensions for property usefulness and development;
"The laying out of property or lots in disregard of contours, drainage and other physical
characteristics of the terrain and surrounding conditions;
"The existence of inadequate streets and other rights-of-way, open spaces and utilities;
"The existence of property or lots or other areas which are subject to inundation by water;
"A prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments and social and economic
maladjustments to such an extent that the capacity to pay taxes is reduced and tax receipts are
inadequate for the cost of public services rendered;
"A growing or total lack of proper utilization of areas, resulting in a stagnant and unproductive
condition ofland potentially useful and valuable for contributing to the public health, safety, and
welfare; or
"A loss of population and reduction of proper utilization of the area, resulting in its further
deterioration and added costs to the taxpayer for the creation of new public facilities and services
elsewhere. "
Note that it is not necessary for each of the cited conditions to be present in the renewal area, or
that these conditions are prevalent in each and every sector of the urban renewal area.

100. DESCRIPTION OF THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS IN THE RENEWAL AREA
100A. PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
1. Land Area
The Glenwood Renewal Area contains approximately 618 acres ofland area. ORS 457.420
provides that the total land area of a proposed urban renewal district, when added to the land area
of existing Renewal Areas may not exceed 25% of the City's land area. The City's current land
area is approximately 9791 acres. The total of all acreage in renewal areas represents 6.25% of
the City's land area. Total renewal area acreage is within the 25% limitation prescribed by ORS
457.420.
2. Existing Land Use and Development
The Glenwood Urban Renewal Area consists primarily of industrial land uses. The next largest
land use is for residential purposes. There are a very limited number of residential uses scattered
throughout the project area. Commercial development is concentrated along Franklin Boulevard
that runs through the project area. This development is mostly strip commercial and serves
Glenwood and surrounding communities with a range of services, convenience, and comparison
shopping opportunities. The Glenwood ,urban Renewal Area contains about 380 tax lots. The
zoning of the tax lots is shown in Table 1, below.
GLENWOOD URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
TABLE 1
Renewal Area Zoning Breakdown
Approximate
Zoning Class Acres % of Total
Light-Medium Industrial 312 62.7%
Low-Density Residential 87 17.5%
Community Commercial 48 9.6%
Public Land & Open Space 38 7.6%
Medium-Density Residential 7 1.4%
General Office 6 1.2%
TOTALS: 498 100.0%
Table 1 shows that industrial zoned land is 62.74%; commercial zoned land is 9.6% of the uses
planned for Glenwood area; while total residential uses are zoned for about 18.9%. The renewal
area boundary was drawn to create a project area that was primarily industrial in nature, the bulk
of Glenwood, and mixed residential/commercial along the Willamette riverfront and in scattered
pockets south and west of Franklin Boulevard.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report

November 15,2004
'.
Actions undertaken in the Glenwood Urban Renewal Area will help make more productive use
ofland in Glenwood.
3. Building Conditions
There nearly 400 buildings in the Glenwood Urban Renewal area, excluding manufactured
homes. As a side note to Table 1, most buildings in the area are zoned for industrial and
commercial purposes. Visual inspection of building exteriors in the area shows the overall level
of building conditions and upkeep is good for nearly 90% of industrial buildings. However, in
scattered pockets, a significant number of industrial and commercial buildings exist in poor
condition on Franklin Boulevard and Concord and Brooklyn Avenues; on Henderson, Seneca,
14th, 15th, Lexington, Mississippi and 19th Avenues; and on Nugget Way. The condition of some
of these properties may make it economically infeasible to rehabilitate or repair them. The
renewal area also contains vacant buildings in various states of disrepair: industrial (sub-areas 4,
6, 7, 8, and 9); commercial (in sub-areas 1,6, 7, 8, 9, 10); and residential properties (in sub-areas
1,2, 7, 8, and 9) in evident need of extensive exterior repairs to roofing, siding, foundations,
steps, and exterior trim. A high proportion of the area's housing stock is in need of repair based .
on a windshield survey completed in the mid-1990's.
4. Conditions - Streets, Intersections, Sidewalk, and Storm Drainage
The general level of this basic infrastructure in the project area is more consistent with a rural
area than with an urbanized one. The following discussion includes a summary of these
conditions:
Most of the Glenwood area has been developed without an urban level of street improvements.
This means that many of the streets are not well-defined by curbs and gutters, making it difficult
to tell where the street stops and private property begins. Many of these streets are improved
only to rural standards, have substandard rights-of way, or exist only on paper and are not
developed at all. The existing improvements lack definition and have inadequate drainage due to
their many types of construction.
In particular, there is no suitable, adequate, storm water drainage system for nearly the 'entire
Urban Renewal area. In one of the few places it does exist, the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) has indicated that its storm drainage pipe from Mississippi Avenue to I-
S is old, undersized, and needs to be replaced. Existing intersection improvements do not readily
allow differentiation of local intersecting streets, through sidewalks, crossings, curbs, gutters, or
signage, except with recent improvement near the Springfield bridges. There are few sidewalks.
The few existing sidewalks are along Franklin Boulevard. They are both narrow and
discontinuous and at curbside, immediately next to that heavily used highway.
Streetlights exist mostly along Franklin Boulevard and on streets that have annexed and at very
wide spacing (below 'urban' standards) elsewhere in Glenwood outside the city limits. Two
intersections in Glenwood have iriadequate lighting: the intersection of Glenwood Boulevard and
22nd Avenue and the 1-5 on and offramps.
.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report

November 15,2004
,1.
Except for the bike 'path connector to the Knickerbocker Bridge and on-street bike lane along
Franklin Boulevard west of Glenwood Avenue, Glenwood does not have bicycIe-paths either on-
or off-street for safe bike connections to and from Glenwood or for safe bicycle travel within the
Glenwood area.
The following are key areas in need of infrastructure assistance: From Henderson Boulevard on
the west and eastward between Franklin Boulevard/ McVay Highway and the Willamette River:
Deep lots with many older buildings, houses, and manufactured homes needing repair,
replacement, or upgrading; infrastructure in poor condition or non-existent; few or no street
improvements except asphalt mat pavement in most of these areas and lack of roads providing
suitable off-highway, internal access and circulation.
Nugget Way and Newman Street: Public streets in poor repair, misaligned, limited substandard
curbing, and lack of storm water system, curbside sidewalks, and landscaping. Several industrial
buildings in fair repair, many yards in general disarray.
22nd and 21 st Avenues: Misaligned, narrow without curb, gutter, sidewalks, or suitable storm
drainage systems. 21 st Avenue is an unimproved gravel street serving three or four homes.
Secondary emergency connections are not available to the areas served by these streets.
5. Conditions - Public Parking
There is very limited curbside public parking available in just a few partially improved streets,
like 17th Street and Nugget Way (and during weekday working hours, the Nugget Way spaces
are heavily used. There is no public parking or public parking lot on Franklin Boulevard or
McVay Highway the main commercial thoroughfares. There is private, off-street parking
available to patrons of most of the newer strip commercial properties along these streets. There is
some limited public parking along unimproved streets, however, these parking areas are
compromised in winter weather conditions because of the poor storm water drainage or storm
water ditches. The lack of accessible and convenient parking is a detriment to investment in the
urban renewal area.
6. Conditions - Water and Sanitary Sewer Services and Other Urban Services
Water and sanitary sewer service in the renewal project area is in need of repair, upgrade and
maintenance, and are barely adequate for existing levels of development. New development
would likely require additional sanitary sewer infrastructure or service improvements for looped
systems, pumping, or valving to meet greater demands and/or timing of new industrial uses.
Springfield Utility Board (SUB) is installing a major water line from Downtown Springfield to
. Glenwood to provide water from SUB sources. The Glenwood system is in transition to SUB
sources from the Eugene Water and Electric Board and the Glenwood Water District as
annexation and development occur.
Willamalane's Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (March 2004) notes that Glenwood
residents have limited access to close-to-home parks (within a service area of ~ to Y2 mile
considering major barriers to access: major Streets, railways, topography). Willamalane
identifies the difficulties in Glenwood and indicates a need to expand the Willamette River park

'.
system, active recreation areas, river access, and expand recreation opportunities for Glenwood
residents.
7. Conditions - Visual Appearance
The commercial core of Glenwood is aligned along Franklin Boulevard (called McVay Highway
south of the Springfield bridges and part of the State Highway system under the jurisdiction of
the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)). Franklin Boulevard is characterized by a
mix of strip commercial development of varying styles and quality, most fronted by parking lots,
and a mix of older, "main street" commercial properties on very small lots, with only on-site
parking. The "main street" area has several vacant storefronts and generally shows more need of
repair. There are overhead power lines throughout the area, adding to the visual clutter.
Attractive street furniture, signs, banners, trees, landscaping, or other visual amenities are non-
existent, rare, or scattered.
The Lane County Central Receiving Station is a transfer site for solid waste from the
metropolitan area. Solid waste is received and deposited in the facility's pit where it is
compacted and then trucked to the Short Mountain landfill. The site also has a recycling station
and a composting project for yard waste. Because of the nature of the activity, the facility does
affect surrounding areas in Glenwood. Physical appearance is not specifically listed as a
condition of blight in ORS 457, however, appearance of modern industrial sites including green
space, plantings, improved "business frontage and parking areas, low external impacts, etc. are
important to economically productive industrial and commercial sites and nearby properties.
Economically underproductive sites are considered blighted. As development and
redevelopment occurs in surrounding areas the Lane County Central Receiving Station should be
evaluated to see if the facility may be redeveloped for other uses that are more productive
economically and that enhance the area's overall redevelopment.
8. Conditions - Land and Building Values
It is anticipated that the 2004-05 tax roll will establish the initial base of assessed values for the
Renewal Area. Th~ figures are not yet available for the total assessed valuation for the Glenwood
urban renewal district for that year. The total assessed value of property within the Urban
Renewal Area for the 2003-04 tax year is calculated at $74,480,444 in land and building values.
The total assessed value of the Glenwood Urban Renewal Area represents about 2.9% of the total
property valuation within the City of Springfield. Total certified values within all renewal areas
therefore are expected to be well within the maximum 25% of total valuation allowed by urban
renewal law.
9. Conditions - Investment and Utilization of Land
Real property values within the Renewal Area are largely concentrated in industrial and
commercial property classifications. The overall value ofland to improvements in the Renewal
Area is extraordinarily low for an urban area, espeCially an area that represents a major
concentration of industrial uses and is developed to nearly urban densities. The real market
value ofland in the renewal area is $50.07 million and the real market value of improvements is
$74.48 million. The ratio of building value to land value is just under 1.5: 1. Mature urban areas,
especially those that include so much commercial and industrial building, are expected to exhibit
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report
10
November 15, 2004
improvement to value ratios in the 4:1 or 5:1 'range. While this ratio can not be expected in a
redeveloping community like Glenwood, it is most unusual for building values in a substantially
developed part of an area to barely exceed land values. The data point to a lack of investment in
the renewal area, depreciated values, and a loss of tax producing ability for the Glenwood project
area.
100B. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Census data for the renewal area itself is not available. However, according to the Glenwood
Refinement Plan (pp. 11-12):
"The community of Glenwood has a population of approximately 1,330 people. Most of
the residents are found either in the Central Residential subarea or in the eight mobile
home parks located along Franklin Boulevard and the McVay Highway.
Glenwood has a small average household size (1.82 persons) and a high percentage of
one-person households (43.percent). Glenwood has a significantly higher proportion of
elderly persons than Eugene or Springfield. Glenwood serves an important function in the
metropolitan area by providing low-cost housing, including manufactured dwellings.
Residential development in Glenwood generally consists of single-family houses,
manufactured dwellings on individual lots, and manufactured dwellings in parks. The
density in the residential area is 6.9 units per acre, within the low-density residential
range of 1-10 units per acre.
Glenwood has a very high percentage of manufactured dwellings compared with other
types of housing. There are 744 dwelling units in Glenwood. Of these, 72 percent are
manufactured dwellings (66 percent in parks and 6 percent on individual lots) and 23
percent are single-family residences Number of Residential Units by Structure Type).
There are 46 manufactured dwellings on individual lots in Glenwood. These were
established when Glenwood was under Lane County's jurisdiction. The City allows Type
I manufactured dwellings on vacant lots, outside of manufactured dwelling parks; and
Type I and II manufactured dwellings within manufactured dwelling parks.
There are 167 single-family residences in Glenwood. Of these, 42 percent are
owner-occupied. Eugene's windshield survey conducted to determine general housing
quality has indicated that a majoritY (62 percent) of the residential structures in '
Glenwood are in need of major repair."
200. EXPECTED FISCAL, SERVICE, AND POPULATION IMPACTS OF
PLAN
,Urban renewal plan activities are aimed at alleviating traffic, parking and pedestrian safety
problems, at repairing and redeveloping property within the area, and at upgrading lighting,
streets, sidewalks, open space conditions and providing new or upgraded infrastructure in the
Renewal Area. The Urban Renewal Plan is expected to facilitate planned, orderly growth as
anticipated in the Eugene-Springfield Metro Area General Plan and Glenwood Refinement Plan.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report
11
November 15,2004
'.
The Plan is not expected to result in a need for any additional police, fire, or other emergency
services beyond those already contemplated by the City and other service providers.
The Renewal Area boundary includes some proposed housing development. Carrying out the
Renewal Plan is expected to result in population growth in Glenwood, with perhaps as many as
815 new housing units. But that growth is included in the overall population growth of the City
of Springfield over the next 20 years and the fiscal impacts are not significant relative to growth
in other parts of the much larger Springfield city limits. Renewal Plan activities, however, are not
expected to influence the timing or scale of these developments. And therefore, carrying out the
Plan is expected to have no impacts on School District 4], given Glenwood small size relative to
the size of School Dis.trict 4J. Carrying out the Renewal Plan is not expected to have any
additional impact on water and sewer service needs, since the utilities' planning include
providing services to these and other utilities in the urban renewal area. Project activities are not
expected to require the relocation or removal of any residential or commercial properties by the
renewal agency.
Carrying out the Renewal Plan will require the use of tax increment revenues. The tax impacts
of the Renewal Plan are discussed in detail in Section 500 D of this report.
The Renewal Plan is expected to produce positive fiscal and service impacts for Glenwood.
Among the public benefits of the renewal plan are:
· Street and circulation improvements will improve public safety and convenience.
· Infrastructure improvements will provide better utility service and decrease public
maintenance costs
· New businesses will provide additional shopping convenience and reduce vehicular trips
and time.
· New development that enhances the river experience will improve environmental
conditions along the Willamette River.
· Rehabilitation programs will preserve and renew properties in residential neighborhoods
and in commercial areas along Franklin Boulevard in Glenwood.
· An increase in construction expenditures and purchases kept in Glenwood will create
secondary jobs.
· The Renewal Plan will help the City of Springfield fund a number of projects listed in the
City's Capital Improvements Program in the Glenwood Refinement Plan and in the
Glenwood Riverfront Plan for the Urban Renewal Plan Area.
· The Renewal Plan will develop the opportunity areas between Franklin Boulevard and
the Willamette River, now without suitable streets, public access or infrastructure for
tourism, mixed commercial-residential, or other major development by providing urban
standard roads, supportive urban services and utilities, area-wide storm drainage systems,
and allowing public access and protection of the riverfront areas.
· Construction of a Lane County Sheriff substation/court facility and other city/county
public service facilities will help to provide a full complement of public safety, health
and other services thereby maintaining and enhancing safety in the renewal area and
ensuring that the proposed and existing development in the renewal area are supported
and protected by adequate public services. .
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report

'.
The public and private investments made in the renewal area are likely to encourage new
investment in areas adjacent to the renewal area. The value thus created can not be quantified,
but observation of renewal programs around the state indicates that there are spillover investment
effects from a successful renewal program. There are other positive effects of a renewal program
that do not lend themselves easily to quantification, for they are quality of life issues. Retaining
Glenwood's neighborly atmosphere, maintaining the Franklin Boulevard as the artery ofthe area,
improving housing, expanding cultural, and shopping opportunities along the riverfront, and
improving the appearance of Glenwood all have value to this area's sense of community. In fact,
these qualities have been expressed as important community values and directly influenced
creation of this renewal plan and its projects.
The expenditure of tax increment funds is expected to produce new property values for the City
of Springfield. The renewal project is estimated to be completed by the year 2025. During that
period, property values in the renewal area are expected to increase by approximately $254.3
million. At current property tax rates, the new property values anticipated in the renewal area
will contribute over $4.07 million in property tax revenues in the first year after, the project is
ended. Of that revenue, approximately $1.32 million will return to the City of Springfield. That
property tax revenue will continue to grow thereafter as a result of increases in annual
assessments.
300. REASONS FOR SELECTING THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The Urban Renewal Plan Area was selected based on Glenwood Refinement Plan and the
Eugene Springfield Metro Area General Plan goals, objectives, and policies and on the existence
of blighting conditions within the area. The project area evidences the following characteristics
of blight:
· A lack of proper utilization of land planned for tax producing purposes.
· Defic~encies in streets, curb, sidewalk, water and sewer services in the project area.
· . Deficiencies in public recreation and open space opportunities.
· Poor visual and aesthetic conditions, contributing to a low level of investment in the
project area.
· Poor building conditions in the project area.
· A prevalence oflow values and lack of investment in the project area, and reduced tax
receipts resulting there from.
Conditions within the Renewal Area exist and satisfy the definitions of blight in ORS 457.010.
Treating and curing these conditions are reasons for selecting this renewal area.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report

November 15, 2004
400. RELATIONSIDP BETWEEN PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND
EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE PROJECT AREA
1. Unpaved streets, or those lacking curbs and sidewalks will be improved
throughout the Renewal Area.
2. Assistance for rehabilitation and new development will attract new
investment to the area, and improve the building conditions and blighted
appearance of the area.
3. Streetscape activities will improve the visual appearance of the area, and
provide a better climate for new investment in the project area.
4. Parking improvements will make it easier for tourists and visitors to shop,
or take ' \
advantage of recreational opportunities, thereby encouraging expenditures
and new investments in the area.
5. Improvements to parks, public buildings, and open spaces will treat
deficiencies in those areas.
6. Administration and planning activities will assure the plan is carried out
effectively and in conformance with applicable managerial and fiscal
requirements.
500. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF PLAN
500A. ESTIMATED PROJECT COST AND REVENUE SOURCES
Table 2 shows the estimated total costs of the Glenwood Urban Renewal Project.
These costs are the total anticipated costs, allowing for 4% inflation during the life
ofthe project.
The principal method of funding the proj ect share of costs will be through use of
tax increment financing as authorized by ORS 457. Revenues are obtained from
anticipated urban renewal bond proceeds and the proceeds of short term urban
renewal notes.
Table 2 shows that the total costs of project activities are estimated at $23,600,000 in
2004 dollars. Table 3 uses the costs in Table 2 and 2a and assumes inflation of3%
annually of the project costs. The Maximum Indebtedness authorized under this plan
is thirty-two million eight hundred sixty thousand Dollars ($32,860,000). This
amount is the principle of such indebtedness and does not include interest or
indebtedness incurred to refund'or refinance such indebtedness.
The capacity for urban renewal bonds is based on projections of urban renewal
revenues. Anticipated annual revenues are shown in Table 3 of this Report. Table
3 anticipates there will be five long-term bond issues during the life of the plan.
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report
14
November 15, 2004
"
Bonds will be issued as revenues, project requirements, and overall bond market
conditions dictate. In addition, the Renewal Agency will apply for, and make use of
funding from other federal, state, local, or private sources as such funds become
available.

500B. ANTICIPATED START & FINISH DATES OF PROJECT
ACTIVITIES
The project activities shown in Table 2 will begin in 2005. The sequencing and
prioritization of individual project activities shown in Table 2 and 2a will be done
by the Urban Renewal Agency and any citizen advisory bodies that the Agency
calls upon to assist in this process. The priority of projects and annual funding will
be as established in the annual budget process. Completion dates for individual
activities may be affected by changes to local economic and market conditions,
changes in the availability of tax increment funds, and changes in priorities for
carrying out project activities, especially with public partners like Lane County,
Willamalane Parks District, and others.
It is estimated that all activities proposed in this plan will be completed and project
indebtedness paid offby 2025. At that time, the tax increment provisions of this
plan can be ended.
500C. ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES AND YEAR OF DEBT
RETIREMENT
It is estimated that the Glenwood urban renewal district will collect tax increment
revenue between the years 2005 and 2025. It is estimated that the district will
produce $36.75 million in tax increment receipts in that period. These funds will
be utilized to finance project activities and pay debt service costs, including
interest, associated with undertaking these project activities.
It is anticipated that available project revenues and funds accumulated in a special
fund for debt redemption will be sufficient to retire outstanding bonded
indebtedness in the year 2025 and terminate the tax increment financing provisions
of the project. After all project debt is retired and the project closed out, it is
estimated that there will be surplus tax increment funds. These funds will be
distributed to taxing bodies affected by this plan, as provided in ORS 457.
Table 3 of this Report shows the anticipated tax increment receipts for each year of
the project and the use of those receipts~ Table 3 follows on the next page.

500n. IMPACT OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The passage of Ballot Measure 50 (BM50) has changed Oregon's property tax
system, and the impacts of urban renewal on taxpayers, and other taxing bodies.
Prior to BM50, collection of tax increment revenues for a renewal agency resulted
in an increase in the taxpayer's property tax rate. Taxing bodies suffered no
revenue losses, unless there was overall compression of property tax revenues.
Under Ballot Measure 50, collection of tax increment revenue can impact the
potential property tax revenues received by overlapping tax bodies. These taxing
bodies will not be able to apply their permanent BM50 tax rates against the new
values added within the urban renewal area. As a result, the taxing bodies will
forego revenue they otherwise might have had if there was no renewal plan in
effect. In addition, the presence of the urban renewal program could impact the tax
rates for future local option levies, or exempt bond issues by taxing bodies, for the
tax rates for these bonds and levies will be calculated without the incremental
values within the urban renewal area.
HB 3215
House Bi113215, passed by the Legislature in 2001, will result in gradual loss of
bond rates and that is taken into account in the revenue projections for the
Glenwood Urban Renewal plan. For new renewal plans such as this in Glenwood,
the provisions of the bill remove the tax rates for voter approved bonded
indebtedness from the formula for calculating tax increment revenues. These tax
rates will be phased out of the tax increment revenue formula gradually as current
bond issues are retired.
Revenues Foregone by Affected Taxing Bodies
Table 4 shows'the anticipated cumulative incremental values in the Renewal Area
over the life of the Plan and the anticipated property tax revenues foregone as a result
of taxing bodies not being able to apply their permanent BM50 tax rates to those
values.
Present Value of Revenues Foregone
The revenues foregone in Table 4 are expressed in constant 2004 dollars. The
dollars foregone shown in Table 4. therefore are misleading, for they db not take
inflation into account. Clearly a dollar twenty years from now would be worth less
than a dollar today as inflationary effects occur. In order then to put the revenue
foregone into current day perspective, Table 5 provides a Present Value calculation
of the revenue foregone over a twenty year period. In this calculation, the annual
revenues foregone by the taxing bodies are discounted by 3.5%. That produces a
lower, but more realistic picture of the present day revenues that might be foregone
by the taxing bodies over the life of the plan.
Two additional notes should be made about revenues foregone by affected taxing
bodies. One, Tables 4 and 5 both assume that all the new values in the Glenwood
Renewal Area would occur, even without the investment of urban renewal funds. In
fact, however, a major part of the Glenwood Renewal Area lacks even the basic
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report
21
November 15,2004
infrastructure needed to allow new development. It is more realistic to assume that
the public expenditures on renewal activities will have some effect on the growth of
values within the urban renewal area. If one makes that assumption, some of the
values which are used to calculate revenue foregone would not materialize at all.
This assumption is not made, here, but if it were used, it would further reduce the
revenues foregone by the affected taxing bodies.
Two, some will look at the total revenues foregone, and assume that the total shown
is lost immediately. As the revenue foregone tables show, these revenues are
foregone annually. over an extended period of time, not all at once. Given the size of
the total budgets of the taxing bodies, the annual revenues foregone usually represent
only a minor percentage of their total budgets.
Impact on Schools
Under the current method offunding K-12 level education, the urban renewal
program will not result in revenue losses for those educational units of
government.
Financial Impact of Plan after Indebtedness is Repaid.
When all the projects contained in the Urban Renewal Plan are completed, an
estimated $254.3 million in assessed values will be placed back on the tax roll. In
the following year, property tax revenues generated by those values are estimated
to be approximately$4.07 million. Given a 3% inflation of values, the revenues
foregone by the overlapping taxing bodies will be repaid in a period of six years
after the district is terminated.
The tax impact on each of the overlapping taxing bodies is shown in Tables 4 and 5
on the following pages.

SOOE. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY OF PLAN
Table 3 (Table 2a shows estimating detail) in Section 500 of the Report to the Plan
shows the estimated costs of project activities at $22.6 million. The principal source
of revenue to carry out project activities will be annual tax increment revenues ofthe
Renewal Agency. Anticipated tax increment revenues are shown in Table 4. The
tax increment revenues shown in Table 5 are based on the following assumptions:
1. Overall assessed values in the renewal area are indexed upward 5.25% annually
until 2012, 6.5% annually from 2013 until 2018, and 7% annual.ly from 2019
until 2025. This is mostly below the recent growth rates in Glenwood. Note that
these applied growth rates include a combination of increased value of existing
development (below 3% maximum increase in assessed value allowed) plus the
added property value of new development.
2. Assessed valuation of $10 million is assumed to be added in 2010 from a new
major development in the Plan area.
3. Bond rates are assumed to drop by $1 in year 10 of the Plan and by an additional
$1 in year 15 of the Plan.
The revenues shown in Table 3 are expected to be sufficient to carry out all project
activities currently shown on the Urban Renewal Plan, and to retire project
indebtedness within a 2 I-year period. It is financially feasible to carry out the Urban
Renewal Plan for the Glenwood Urban Renewal Area.
600. RELOCATION
600A. PROPERTIES REQUIRING RELOCATION
No relocation is anticipated at the adoption of this plan.
600B. RELOCATION METHODS
Ifin the implementation of this Plan, persons or businesses should be displaced by
action of the Agency, the Agency shall provide assistance to such persons or
businesses to be displaced. Such people and businesses displaced will be contacted
to determine their individual relocation needs. They will be provided information on
available space and will be given assistance in moving. All relocation activities will
be undertaken and payments made in accordance with the requirements of ORS
281.045 - 281.105 and any other applicable laws or regulations. Relocation
payments will be made as provided in ORS 281.060.
600C. HOUSING COST ENUMERATION
The Renewal Plan does not anticipate removing existing housing units.
Approximately 384 units of new housing are expected to be developed in the mixed
use zones of the Urban Renewal Plan Area. Of these about 40 units are expected to
Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan-Report
25

.
be rental housing units with Willamette River views for low- to moderate-income
residents. In addition, private development may build upwards of384 net additional
units (allowed under existing plan designations and zoning and at an average density
of 15 units per acre). These would likely be priced for sale or rent to upper middle
and upper income households as described in recent housing market analyses.
