Nature of Aoplication: The applicant submitted a Type II Site Plan Review Application
to the City of Springfield for approval to construct a warehouse and offices for a
Federal Express Regional Distributing Facility in the Gateway area of north Springfield.
Decision: Tentative Site Plan Aooroval, with conditions, as of the date of this letter.
This is a limited land use decision made according to city code and state statute.
Unless appealed, the decision is final. Please read this document carefully. Final Site
Plans must conform to the tentative. site plan approval.
Other Uses That Mav Be Authorized Bv The Decision.: None. The proposed primary
use is permitted in accordance with SDC 20. 020(1)(eO. Final Site Plan and site
development must conform to this decision. Uses permitted in the zone but not listed on
the application require additional review and permits.
Site Information: The 6.285 acre development site is zoned Campus Industrial (CI)
within the Urban Fringe Overlay District. The zone classification is consistent with the
Gateway Refinement Plan and Eugene-Springfield Metro Plan. The abutting zoning on
all sides of the site is Campus Industrial. Regional distribution centers are a permitted
primary use in the CI District.
The existing use of the land is a filbert orchard. The land is flat and lies entirely within
the 100-year flood fringe of the McKenzie River. There are no structures on the site. A
500 kV SPA powerline crosses the southeast portion of Tax Lot 300 removing a 100-
foot swath under the lines from building construction.

of this section have been satisfied. If conditions cannot reasonably be attached to
satisfy the criteria, the Director shall deny the application."
(1) COMPLIANCE WITH THE SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS OF SECTIONS 3.050
AND 31.050 OF THIS CODE. The site plan application was accepted as complete on
July 28, 1998 and contained all information required to initiate Type II Site Plan Review
procedures in accordance with SDC Articles 3 and 31. This decision is issued within
the required 120 calendar day review period.
Findino: Criteria 1 has been met because the applicant has complied with all submittal
requirements and the decision was issued within the required 120 days.
(2) PROPOSED ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS
ARE SUFFICIENT TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS
SPECIFIED IN ARTICLES 31, 32, THE APPROPRIATE ZONING AND/OR OVERLAY
DISTRICT ARTICLE AND ANY APPLICABLE REFINEMENT PLAN.
Subcriteria 2a. Conformance with Article 32 (Public and Private Imorovementsl
Water and Electric Service. SDC Section 32.120 states: "Each
development shall be provided with a water system having sufficiently
sized mains and lesser lines to furnish adequate supply to the
development. " The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) will provide water and
electrical service to the site. Water service is provided to the site from a 12" line
located in the right of way. The proposed building will require water
development fees for connections and metering. Backflow prevention devices
are required. Bart McKee of Sub Water Department, (726-2396) is the contact
person.
SDC 32.120(2) states, "Wherever possible, utility lines shall be placed
underground." There is three-phase electrical power to serve the site in a vault
located at the southwest corner of the site. Power will be extended
underground to the proposed structure. Additional public utility easements have
been requested by SUB Electric for the provision of three-phase power to the
site and surrounding properties. SDC 32.120(5) gives staff the authority to
require easements necessary to fully service a proposed development (See
attached SUB correspondence and diagrams.) Ed Head of SUB Electric (726-
2395) is the contact person. Services will be installed upon the collection of
development charges.
Findino: The proposed plans for installation of water and electrical service do
not comply with the standards in the SDC for the provision of key urban services
because additional public utility easements are necessary for the provision of
2

.
underground electrical facilities to the site. The following Condition of Approval
is applied to achieve full compliance with this Code:
Condition: Perimeter public utility easement connections must be provided to
SUB Water and Electric in accordance with SDC 32.120(5). Easement
documents must be submitted to the City Surveyor with a legal description and
filing fees prior to Final Site Plan Approval.
Fire and Life Safetv. The existing fire lines and hydrants on International Way
have sufficient fire flow volume to provide fire protection to the proposed
developments as shown on the submitted site plan. Please contact AI Gerard,
Fire and Life Safety at 726-2298 if you have further questions.
Sanitarv Sewer. SDC 32.100 (1) states, "...sanitary sewers shall be installed
to serve' each new development and to connect the developments to new
mains. Installation of sanitary sewers shall comply with the provisions of
this code, the Standard Construction Specifications, Chapter 2 of the City
Code, and the Department of Environmental Quality regulations..." Sanitary
sewer connections to the public system can be constructed as proposed on
Sheet C3 of the submitted tentative site plan because the City Engineer has
determined that the proposed plan for the development site conforms with the
provisions of SDC 32.110. All new sewer taps wiU require permits from the
Public Works Department prior to connection. Ken Vogeney of the Public Works
Division (726-3666) is the contact person.
Findina: The proposed site plan does not address sanitary and storm sewer
service and water provision for the remaining area that is part of this parcel of
land.
Condition: Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant must provide a
conceptual sanitary and storm sewer plan for the remainder of the site for Public
Works review and approval.
Storm Sewer. SDC Section 32.110 states, "The Approval Authority shall
grant development approval only where adequate provisions for storm and
floodwater run-off to the City storm water drainage system have been made
as determined by the City Engineer."
Stormwater Svstem
A publiC storm drainage system exists in International Way, with two 12-inch
stubs to the site. The applicant is proposing to retain all storm water on site in .a
system of interconnected retention ponds.
Findina: Overflow connections from the retention ponds to the public s'ystem
. must be provided as part of the final drainage system design. Alternatively, the
site must be designed such that overflow from the ponds will be contained
totally within the site and wiU be prevented from entering the building.

.
Condition: Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant must provide design
calculations, prepared by a registered engineer, for the proposed drainage
system.
Finding: The proposed site plan does not address storm drainage for the
remaining area that part of this parcel of land.
Condition: Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant must provide a
conceptual storm drain plan for the remainder of the site for Public Works review
and approval.
Stormwater Qualitv
The drainage plan must be approved by the Public Works Department. Please show
flood plain and floodway boundaries on drainage plans.
Findino: The site parking lots exceed 5,000 square feet of pavement area, so
Storm Water Quality Measures must be incorporated into the site design.
All storm water runoff from the impervious areas of the site must be filtered
through vegetated swales prior to discharge into a site retention pond.
Findino: The applicant proposes to collect all of the storm water runoff from the
site into constructed retention ponds. The ponds will be landscaped with various
wet land types of plants in the bottom of the ponds, with turf areas along the
side slopes. Runoff will sheet flow through the vegetatio'n prior to infiltrating in
the bottom of the ponds.
Findino: Floor drains in the interior truck loading and material handling areas
must be connected to the building sanitary sewer. The applicant must submit
the design of the proposed oil and sand separator for the building for City
approval prior to final site plan approval.
Findina: The truck well area must be covered and graded such that storm water
runoff will not enter the truck well. The drains in the truck well can then be
connected to the building sanitary sewer system as proposed by the applicant.
Alternatively, the truck well drains must include an oil-filtering medium, as well
as being provided with a manually operated sump pump that has a discharge to
the site biofiltration swale system.
Findinq: Connection to the public storm water system is not proposed. The City
Engineer has determined that the proposed plan for the on-site retention and
treatment provides adequate pretreatment and reduction of storm water. The
City Engineer recommends an overflow connection to the publiC system for the
detention ponds to prevent flooding of the building area if the ponds overflow.
The proposed catch basins must provide an oil~filtering medium for parking lot
drainage.

International Way is a fully improved collector street with curb, gutter, sidewalks
and streetlights. International Loop as depicted on the McKenzie-Gateway
Special Light Industrial Conceptual Development Plan will be constructed north
and east of the FedEx development area along the northern property line of Tax
Lot 300.
Findino: Public right of way improvements are not necessary because
International Way is a fully improved street and International Loop will be
constructed north and east of this development site. However, a coveyance
land sufficient for possible future right of way along the east property line of the
subject site is necessary at this time to assure implementation of the Gateway
Refinement Plan for access and circulation for Tax Lot 300 and the surrounding
industrial area in the event the Maple Island Slough Road is not dedicated and
constructed. (See Subcriteria 2.c below). The following Condition of Approval
is applied to achieve full compliance with this Code:
Condition: The applicant shall convey to the City of Springfield a 30 foot wide
strip approximately 754 feet long for a possible one-half street right of way along
the entire eastem edge of the subject site. The private access road proposed
within the conveyed land to serve the subject site should be constructed to City
. standards to avoid costly reconstruction and inconvenience to the occupant of
the subjecf site should the City exercise the right to construct a public street
within the conveyed land. The City will provide the applicant with a joint use
access agreement to use the conveyed strip for access.
Condition: The applicant shall convey to the City of Springfield a 7 foot public
utility easement and slope easement of sufficient width to pace an embankment
on a 4: 1 slope from the back of the sidewalk along the entire west side of the 30
foot wide strip specified in the condition above.
Subcriteria 2b) Conformance with standards of SDC Article 31- Site Plan Revie~
and Article 21- Camous Industrial Zonina District.
Setbacks and Heiaht Restrictions: The submitted site plan complies with the
setback provisions of SDC 20.050(1&2) because the structure proposed is
setback 160 feet from the front property line where 30 feet is required; and 100
feet from the east line and 67 feet from the west line where 20 feet is required.
Parking proposed is setback a minimum of 40 feet from all property lines. No
outdoor storage is proposed. The proposed 24' building height at the north
property line meets solar setback provisions of SDC 20.060(1)(a) by using the
hypothetical fence formula. The 24' building height is below the maximum
standard for the District of 45 feet.
Landscaoina. Liahtina and Screenina. The landscape plan exceeds the
minimum planting requirements of SDC 31.140(1). All locations, number and
type'of plantings submitted on the tentative plan.are approved and can only be
altered with written permission from the Director. The existing street light pole
located in the middle of the proposed driveway should be relocated towards
6

'.'
east at a distance of 30 foot from its current location. This relocation of
streetlight should be done under Public Works permit (SDC Section 32.060):
Findino: The westerly driveway approach will require the relocation of an
existing street light along International Way.
Condition: The applicant must obtain City Engineer approval of a privately
engineered public improvement project to relocate this light prior to commencing
any construction on the site. In addition, this work must be completed prior to
occupancy of the new building.
Parkina. The site plan submitted provides 100 standard and 4 handicapped
accessible vehicle parking spaces to comply with the parking requirements of
SDC Sections 20.070(2 & 6) & 31.180. The break down of required parking is:
o 13,225 square feet of gross floor area (gfa) @ one space' per 300 square
feet = 45 spaces for office use.
o 54,595 gfa @ one space per1 000 square feet = 55 spaces for the
warehouse use
The parking spaces provided are the minimum necessary to satisfy the code,
however, curiously, exceed the projected number of employees by 23. The site
plan depicts four handicapped accessible spaces at the front of the building
where the SDC requires three spaces.
Findina: The parking provided is the minimum number required to meet the off
street parking requirements of SDC 21.090 for office and wholesale
warehousing uses listed on the site plan.
Subcriteria 2c) Conformance with Aoolicable Gatewav Refinement Plan
Policies: (as adopted by the City of Springfield, October 19, 1992, Lane
County, September 1,1992, and the City of Eugene, November 9,1992) the
proposed use is a permitted campus industrial use.
The Gateway Refinement Plan incorporates the transportation system proposed
in the McKenzie Gateway-Special Light Industrial Conceptual Development Plan
(SLI-CDP) (August 1989). The SLI-CDP proposed a loop road between what is
now Sports Way and Game Farm Road. The road depicted on Figure 4 of the.
COP coincidentally aligns with the north and east property lines of the proposed
FedEx development. However, the COP is conceptual and the alignment shown
in the plan is illustrative only of the need to have a road connect Sports Way
east to International Way and south to Game Farm Road.
A street system analysis by the City Traffic Engineer revealed that the loop road
would better serve the area if located further north along the north property line
of Tax Lot 300 (parent tax lot of the subject development site). The easterly
extension of the loop road should be approximately 1500 feet from Sports Way
7

.
instead of the 900 feet depicted in the COP. Therefore, the owner of Tax Lot
300 must provide for the future development requirements of International Loop
by dedicating the right of way as a condition of the concurrent partition approval
of Tax Lot 300 (Jo. No. 98-07-165).
.FEES AND PERMITS
SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGE:
The applicant must pay a Systems Development Charge when the building
permits are issued for developments within the City limits or within the
Springfield Urban Growth Boundary. (The cost relates to the amount of
increase in impervious surface area, transportation trip rate, and plumbing .
fixture units. Some exceptions apply to Springfield Urban Growth areas.)
[Springfield Code Chapter II, Article 11]. An estimated total of the SDC's is
$74,000, and assumes no drainage connection to the public storm drain system
at this time. The actual fees will be determined at the time of building permit
issuance.
SANITARY SEWER IN-L1EU-OF-ASSESSMENT CHARGE:
The applicant must pay a Sanitary Sewer In-Lieu-of-Assessment charge in
addition to the regular connection fees if the property or portions of the property
being developed have not previously been assessed or otherwise participated in
the cost of a public sanitary sewer. Contact the Engineering Division to
determine if an In-Lieu-of-Assessment charge is applicable. [Ordinance No.
5584] (The current rate is $0.28 per square foot of land.) The estimated In-Lieu
of Assessment charge for this use proposal is $25,105. The actual charge will
be determined prior to building permit issuance. This charge is due and payable
in full prior to building permit issuance.
OTHER CITY PERMITS:
Encroachment Permit or Sewer Hookup Permit (working within right-of-way or
public easements) example: new tap to the public storm or sanitary sewer, or
adjusting a manhole. [The current rate is $80 for processing plus applicable
fees and deposits]. A Sewer Hookup Permit is required to make the sewer
connection for the new building.
A Land & Drainage Alteration Permit is required for this project since more than
50 cubic yards of material will be moved during construction.
ADDITIONAL PERMITS/APPROVALS MAY BE NECESSARY:
