5. QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING –
a. VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY – HAMMER – LRP2004-00029 – County Rd. 221, a half-mile long abandoned roadway, was vacated in April 2003. The vacation followed negotiations between the City and John Hammer concerning an agreement dedicating ROW for a multi-use path within the Hammer Industrial Subdivision. Right-of-way agreements are often negotiated
concurrent with a vacation action. In this case, the vacation agreement was signed several months after staff work for the original application was completed. During negotiations for the multi-use path, a 6636 square-foot parcel was added to the original vacation application. The added parcel was inadvertently
overlooked by staff and the applicant when the vacation application was submitted for action by the Planning Commission and Council.
This action vacates the parcel that was missed during the original vacation process and fulfills Section 1.A. of the “Agreement Providing for the Vacation of Certain Segments of Olympic Street Right of Way
and Providing for Dedication of a Multi-Use Path,” signed by John Hammer and the City of Springfield
in February 2003.
The applicant has complied with the conditions of the original vacation application that called for
easements and access ways to be reserved from the right-of-way vacation to protect access to utilities on the site. No further conditions of approval are recommended for the approval of this request.

a. GLENWOOD URBAN RENEWAL -
The City Council proposes to set up a Glenwood Urban Renewal District covering nearly all of the Glenwood area within Springfield’s Urban Growth Boundary, including portions that are to be annexed to
the City as development occurs. Part of the required adoption process, under ORS 457, relating to
Oregon urban renewal districts, includes that ‘An urban renewal plan and accompanying report shall be forwarded to the planning commission of the municipality for recommendation under ORS 457.095.’
[ORS 457.085 (4)] The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan sets up a special district that provides funding for projects to correct
blighted conditions within the district. The Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan, like all urban renewal plans
in Oregon, is required to conform to local land use plans. In this area, those include, for example, the Glenwood Refinement Plan and the Eugene-Springfield Metro Plan.
The projects listed in the Glenwood Urban Renewal Plan are based on the direction provided through the Glenwood Refinement Plan and the Eugene-Springfield Metro Plan. The Glenwood Urban Renewal
Plan, by funding public improvement projects needed to correct blighted conditions, essentially implements land use and economic development plans for Glenwood.
