Site InformationBackground
The application was initiated and accepted as complete on January 27, 2017, and the initial joint
Springfield and Lane County Planning Commissions public hearing on the matter of the Zone Change
request was held on June 6. 2017 The Zone Change request is being processed concurrently with a Metro
Plan Diagram amendment submitted under separate cover, Case TYP417-00001. The Springfield City
Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners are reviewing the requested Metro Plan diagram
amendment at the joint public hearing meeting on September 18, 2017.
I he property that is subject of the lone Change request includes ten contiguous parcels that extend uphill
and to the southwest of McKenzie highway to the Weyerhaeuser haul road A three-acre parcel,
addressed as 7575 McKenzie Highway, is developed with a single family dwelling (the historic Frederick
Gray house) and was annexed to the City limits in April, 2017. The balance of the property
(approximately 418 acres) is vacant and is located within the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
About 245 acres lie outside the City's l IGB and exclusively in Lane County jurisdiction Of the roughly
418 acres inside the City's UGB, approximately 407 5 acres is zoned and designated I.DR and 10.7 acres
is designated LDR but is currently zoned Light Medium Industrial (LDII).
The applicant is proposing the zone change from LDR and LMI to Public Land and Open Space (PLO) to
facilitate construction of the Thurston Hills Natural Area Park The park development would he limited
primarily to a trailhead parking lot off McKenzie Highway and a network of walking, hiking and
mountain biking trails extending through the 666+acres of open space between the Highway 126 frontage
to the north and the former Weyerhaeuser haul road to the southwest. An amendment to the Metro Plan
diagram initiated by Planning Action TYP4I 7-00001 is required before the subject area can be rezoned.

Notification and Written Comments
Notification of the September 18. 2017 joint Springfield City Council and Lane County Board of
Commissioners public hearing was sent to all property owners and residents within 300 feet of the site on
August 28, 2017. Notification was also published in the September 1 and 11, 2017 editions of The Register
Guam. For the previous joint Springfield and Lane County Planning Commissions public hearing in June.
2017, staff responded to two telephone calls and one wntten comment was received from Dave and Kelly
Moore, 7291 Holly Street. Springfield. 97478: "Ile lire at "291 Holly Street and our property hacks
directly up to the protect site Although lie appreciate how the land is being used we have concerns about
the proximity of the trails to our house Do you have any insight on where the trails will he, and if so do you
expect our home to be visible from the trails:"
Staff Response: Staff referenced the conceptual trail layout plan provided by Willamalane for the project
area While not a final design or as-built alignment for the planned trail system, it does provide a general
idea of the proximity of trails to existing homes to the west and northwest. The general location of the
primary "spine' trail that will pass to the east and south of homes on Holly Street is already known because
it is based on an existing timber access road Based on this information and available air photo imager},
staff estimates that the main trail system will be at least 400 feet from the respondents' property. However.
as the trail system deselops there may be tributary connections from residential neighborhoods to the west
and northwest of the Thurston Hills Natural Area Park. With the densits of existing tree cover and planned
trail alignments located internal to the Willamalane property, it is unlikely that the trail system and its users
would he conspicuously s isible or overheard from perimeter residential homes Staff also notes that the
natural area trail system will be subject to further land use approvals thereby allowing interested residents
and property owners an opportunity to review the planned trail network and its proximity to nearby streets
and residential areas.

Proposed Findings in Support of Zone Change Approval
Criterion: Zoning Map amendment criteria of approval:
I. Consistency with applicable Metro Plan policies and the Metro Plan diagram;
Applicant'.v Narrative -Consistency with applicable Metro Plan policies and diagram are
incorporated hr reference herein (see Section 4 1 Metro Plan Amendment Approval Criteria).-
Finding 1: Metro Plan Policy I I.I, Page 111-I 1-4 states: "Develop a system of regional-metropolitan
recreational activity areas based on a facilities plan for the metropolitan area that includes
acquisition, development, and management programs. The Metro Plan and system should include
reservoir and hill parks, the Willamette River Greenw ay. and other river corridors."
Finding 2: Metro Plan Policy H.2, Page III-14-4 states: "Local parks and recreation plans and
analyses shall be prepared by each jurisdiction and coordinated on a metropolitan leNel. 'Hie park
standards adopted by the applicable city and incorporated into the city's development code shall be
used in local development processes."
Finding 3 Metro Plan Policy H 6, Page III-14-4 states "All metropolitan area parks and recreation
programs and districts shall cooperate to the greatest possible extent in the acquisition of public and
private funds to support their operations.'
Finding 4: Metro Plan Chapter IV. Policy 7.a slates "A property owner may initiate a ]Type I
Metro Plan diagram] amendment for property they own at any time Owner initiated amendments
are subject to the limitations for such amendments set out in the development code of the home
city.'
Finding 5: The property owner (a public agency) initiated a concurrent Metro Plan Diagram
amendment in accordance with provisions of SDC 5.14-100 (Case TYP417-0110011. Upon adoption
of the amending Ordinances. the Metro Phan Diagram would be amended and the requested zone
change from LDR and LMI to PLO would he consistent with the provisions of the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. Prior or concurrent amendment of the Alenro Plan Diagram will be required
for the subject zone change request to be approved.
Finding 6: The proposed zone change is consistent with provisions of the Metro Plan whereby
zoning can he monitored and adjusted as necessary to meet current urban land use demands The
requested change from LDR and LNII to PLO would allow for development of the Thurston Hills
Natural Area Park, which is identified as Project 3.9 in the adopted Willamalane Comprehensixe
Plan, a plan which was adopted by the Springfield City Council on November 4. 2013 (Ord. No.
6303).
Finding 7: The subject property abuts properties that arc zoned and designated for LDR land use
along the western and northwestern boundaries. The proposed Zone Change is consistent and
compatible with the adjoining zoning and the existing uses in the area A Site Plan was previously
approv ed for a trailhead parking lot off the Mckenzie I lighway pursuant to Case TYP216-00037.
Further development of the planned trail system and related facilities within the Thurston Hills
Natural Area Park will be subject to the Site Plan Review process, which includes the provision for

EXHIBIT C
public notification and comment. The proposed natural area park would provide a significantly less-
intensive use and a transition area between residential neighborhoods in the southeast Thurston Hills
and managed forest land outside the City's UGB to the southeast.
Recommended Condition of Approval: Prior to appros al of the Zone Change request, the
Metro Plan Diagram shall be amended as initiated by Planning Action TSP417-00091.
2. Consistency with applicable Refinement Plans, Plan District maps, Conceptual Development
Plans and functional plans;
Applicant's Narrative. "The site is not within an area subject to an adopted refinement plat. This
criterion does not apply."
Finding 8: There are no adopted neighborhood Refinement Plans or Conceptual Development Plans
for this area of Springfield Therefore, the Metro Plan diagram remains the prevailing land use plan
diagram for this site.
Finding 9: The City previously adopted the Residential land Use and Housing Element of the
Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan The subject property was identified as low density residential
inventory in the 2030 Plan because of its LDR zoning and designation, and its location within the
City's 11GB. Much of the property is identified as being constrained by steep slopes and, in certain
areas, by potentially unstable hillsides
Finding 10. The Residential Land Use and Housing Element (Table 6-7) identifies approximately
378 acres of surplus LDR designated land within the City's buildable land inventory. About seven
acres of LDR was removed from the inventory upon adoption of Ordinance 6364 on March 7, 2017.
Pending an appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), Ordinance 6369 adopted on
June 19. 2017 would remove another 3.3 acres of LDR from the inventory. therefore, a surplus of
about 367 acres of buildable LDR designated land currently remains. The proposed rezoning would
remove about 421 acres of LDR designated land from the City's inventory, of which about 159
acres is considered "buildable". The proposed rezoning will significantly reduce the amount of
surplus LDR designated land within the City's inventory, hut it will not be reduced below a critical
threshold level requiring mitigation
Finding 11: The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 10.7 acres of land within
Assessor's Map 18-02-09-00. Tax Lot 100 from Light Medium Industrial (LNII) to PLO. Staff
observes that the subject property is designated TDR on the Metro Plan diagram and therefore a
plan-zone conflict exists The plan-zone conflict would be resolved upon rezoning of the subject
property to PLO. Because the subject property was tabulated as part of the surplus LDR-designated
land. the proposed rezoning docs not affect the City's Commercial and Industrial Buildable Land
ins entory.
3. The property is presently provided with adequate public facilities, services and transportation
networks to support the use, or these facilities, services and transportation networks are
planned to he provided concurrently with the development of the property.
Applicant's Narrative. "As demonstrated by the preceding findings under the first criterion of

comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation (including a zoning map), would significantly
affect an existing or planned transportation facility, then the local go)ernment must put in
place measures" to mitigate the impact, as defined in OAR 660-012-0060(2). The applicant
has submitted a supporting Transportation Planning Rule ('IPRI anal}sis for the proposed
Metro Plan Diagram amendment and Zone Change (Attachment 5. Exhibit D) that has been
resiewed by staff. Based on the findings of the applicant's TPR analysis there will be a de-
intensification of use on the properly and a significant reduction in associated vehicle trips.
The applicant's 'IPR analysis has determined that the proposed Metro Plan Diagram
amendment and Zone Change will not have a significant effect on existing or planned
transportation facilities. and staff concurs with these findings.
