Plan Highlights
Seventeen of Spnngfleld's
schools are 40 years or older,
and are becommg mcreasmgly
expensive to mamtam They
have safety, health and effi-
ciency concerns of
. need for seismiC upgrades,
. poor air quality and vastly
fluctuatmg temperatures,
due to older heatmg and
ventllatmg systems,
. lack of fleXible spaces to
accommodate students
With modern technology
and mnovatlve teachmg
practices,
. traffiC congestion,
. energy mefflclency, and
. many schools are not
deSigned to meet Cnme
Prevention Through EnVironmental DeSign (CPTED) recom-
mendalions for safety and secunty
Many al the bailers In 5pnnglield
schaals are CIrca 1950 Theyare
extremely energy lneHiClent and
Ineflee/ive In pravldlng even
heating thraughaut the schaal
To accomplish educational goals Identified In the Spnngfleld Quality
Education Model (SQEM), schools need to provide a healthy, safe
environment They also need to feature maximum deSign fleXibility
for up-to-date teachmg practices and the changing nature of use by
the publiC Numerous community activities, such as Wlllamalane,
Kldsports, adult sports and Family Centers, are accommodated by
Dlstnct faCilitieS dunng and after school hours
The FaCIlities Plan lists eight mam Issues (see the "EIght Issues"
box on the back), from "provldmg safe, healthy, and secure cam-
puses for all students and employees" to "replacmg or modernlz-
mg dated, high-cost faCIlities" Each Issue IS summanzed mto
three tlmeframes based on need
. Immediate (0-3 years),
. Intermediate (0-10 years), and
. Long-term (10 years or more)
The Facilities Plan Identifies Needs, Options, and
Recommendations for Each School
The FaCIlity Plan states that the Dlstnct should look to partner
With the community through possible bondmg to fund replace-
ments and Improvements of eXlstmg schools The Plan further
states that the Dlstnct should Identify and commit resources on
an annual baSIS to address ongOing faCilities pnontles
Pnor to puttmg forth a bond measure, the Dlstnct would conduct
stalistlcally valid community surveys, offer more publiC Input oppor-
tunities, and Involve staff, community members, and other key audi-
ences In any process leadmg up to placement on the ballot of a
bond measure However, the fmal deCISion for placement of a faCili-
ties bond on the ballot rests With the Spnngfleld Board of Education
Additionally, many options on the FaCilities Plan Immediate,
Intermediate and Long-range lists may be funded from one-time
funds, the annual operatmg budget, grants or other resources
For example, recently, Board and staff requested $800,000 from
the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delmquency m Washmgton, DC
If approved these funds would be used to upgrade school secun-
ty at schools across the Dlstnct to meet the Cnme Prevention
Through EnVironmental DeSign (CPTED) recommendations (as
menlioned m the Plan's Issue 3, under Immediate needs)
The FaCIlitIes Plan, IS a gUIde for future deCISIOns - not a POltcy
Acceptmg the Plan does not necessanly mean that all recommen-
datIOns WIll be Implemented - only that the Plan gUldelmes,
optIOns and recommendatIOns WIll be conSIdered
-

Examples of Immediate
(0-3 years) Needs,
Recommendations, Options
. Replace Maple and Thurston
elementary schools with new
bUildings with a capacity of up
to 500 students These new
bUildings are not needed to
address increasing enrollment,
but rather to replace faCIlities
which have reached the end of
their useful life
. Replace roofs on Thurston
High School
. Replace football fields at both
high schools With multi-use,
all-weather turf
. BUild athletiC seating at THS
. Replace ineffiCient bOilers at
five schools
Example of an Intermediate
(0-10 year) Needs,
Recommendations, Options
. Improve and upgrade secunty

"The Facilities Plan reports the Commtttee's findmgs, "
stated FAC chair John Lively, "It is up to the Board and
the commumty to determine what next steps will be
taken, whzch parts to implement, when and how. "
Eight Issues in the Facilities Plan
1) Adlustln9 school capacities and boundaries to ensure optimum numbers of
students In each school
2) PrOViding safe, heallhy, and secure campuses for all student and employees
3) PrOViding adequate technologlcallntrastructure and support for educatIOnal
Initiatives and Instrucllonal programs
4) ReplaCing or moderniZing dated, dilapidated, or high-cost faCIlities
5) ImprOVing the educational effectiveness of District classrooms through day-
lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustics
6) ImprOVing and adding outdoor faCIlities, including athletiC and recreatIOnal
lIelds, playgrounds
7) ReVieWing all vacant property to determine If any should be sold or devel-
oped for nonschool use, and uSing any proceeds to purchase future school
sites or tor repairing or extending the life of eXisting schools
8) AddreSSing future and unmet programmatic taclllty needs
'Facilities Advisory Committee
In response to the Springfield Quality Education Model, staff created the Facllilles AdVISOry
Committee (FAC) to research and bring recommendatIOns to the School Board about Spnngfleld
school bUildings and campuses Throughout 2005 the FAC, eight community volunteers and SIX
staff, met twice monthly to evaluate school enVlfonments and to Identify Immediate, Intermediate,
and Long-term needs The Committee assessed each school, based on Cnme PreventIOn through
Educational Oeslgn recommendatIOns and faCility-evaluatIOn reports by Oull, Olsen and Weeks
architectural fum They reViewed the Amencans With Olsabllitles Act and conducted In-depth
research regarding best school environments Members VISited schools, talked to maintenance
staff, surveyed employees and conducted pUblic Input forums From thiS year-long IntenSive study
and research, the Facllilles AdVISOry Committee developed the FaCilities Plan

SPRINGFIELD SCHOOL DISTRICT
LONG RANGE FACILITY PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
MARCH 10, 2006
In November of 2004, the Sprmgfield School Dlstnct FacIlIty Advisory CommIttee was formed
for the purpose to review and study all District facllIlIes and sites leadmg to recommendatIOns on
a long-range plan addressmg current and future needs for consideratIOn of the School Board
This revIew was prompted by changes m the Dlstnct smce the release of the 2002 Sites &
FacIlllles Report and the contmued focus on the Spnngfield QualIty EducatIOn Model (S-QEM)
as It relates to the importance of sites and facIlIties The S-QEM specifically says m addressmg
the learnmg enVIronment "Create an enVIronment that fosters the well bemg of our students,
staff, and commuruty Aim to construct new facllIlIes and remodel eXlstmg facIlIties m
collaboratIOn With commumty partners to meet DiStriCt and communIty needs"
The members of the commIttee were Bill Bowers, Bill DaVIS, Steve Dustrude, Ncal Forrester,
JennIfer HeiSS, John Lively, Don Lutes, Bill Medford and Gary Ross In addItIOn the committee
was supported by Fred Tepfer, architect consultant from the UnIversity of Oregon and
Spnngfield School Dlstnct staff of Steve Barrett, Jeff DeFranco, Will LeWIS, Nancy Schmidt,
Bruce Smolmsky, John Saraceno, and Brett Yancey Smce November 2004, the commlllee has
met 29 lImes to gather and understand all the mformatlOn needed to recommend the final plan
The process meluded revlewmg and understandmg the current conditIOn of all slles and facIlities
throughout the DIStnCt, trends occurrmg wlthm the Dlstnct and communIty over the next decade,
survey mformatlOn obtamed from user groups m each school, mput from communIty members,
the latest mformatlOn on educatIOn from current hterature and other SimIlar Items to establIsh a
common knowledge base for all committee members Based on that common understandmg the
committee
1 EstablIshed cntena to assess cach school bUlldmg to determme basehne as of today,
2 Developed eight long-term plannmg issues to gUIde diSCUSSIOns around potential
optIOns to address needs gomg forward,
3 Based on the long-term plannmg Issues, developed an extensive lIst of pOSSible
optIOns for each ISSUC to gUIde final recommendatIOns, and
4 Held a publIc conversatIOn to reView the eight long-term plannmg Issues for
completeness In addItIon, we commUnIcated regularly With eadi faCIlIty staffto seek
theIr mput as to key Issues and potenlIal recommendatIOns Completed the publIc
mput process by holdmg five publIc meetmgs to review and test the key Issues and
lIst of potenlIal oplIons
All the matenals developed from thiS process are part of the long-range sites and faCIlIty plan
bemg presented to the school board However, of particular note IS the 2005 BUlldmg
Assessment "Bookends EvaluatIOn," which shows an overall snapshot ofbUlldmg needs based
on the estabhshed cntena and ranlang bUlldmgs by those needmg Immediate attentIOn, to those
that have longer term value With the need for less Immediate mvestment UllImately, thiS
baselIne ofbUlldmgs IS a key component of the recommendatIOns bemg made and e1early shows
the nced to contmue to make key mvestments m bUlldmgs m order to extend the useful hfe of all
Dlstnct faclhlIes

pnonltes the comllllttee recommends the Dlstnct move forward With plans to
replace Maple and Thurstoo Elcmentary schools With new bUlldmgs With a
capacity of up to 500 students and to replace roofs on Thurston High School
These new bUlldmgs arc not needed to addrcss mcreasmg enrollment, but rather
necded to replace faclhtles which have reached the end of their useful IIfc In
additIOn, several key polIcy deCiSions need to be made m conjunctIOn With any new
constructIOn (see Key Pohcy Issues) In additIOn the committee recommends that

KEY POLICY ITEMS
MANAGEMENT OF DISTRICT OWNED PROPERTY
The Dlstnct owned propertIes are key assets that servc not only as a placcs for school facIlIties
and activitIes, but also, m a much broader context, as commumty recreatIOn sites and longer term
strategic mvestments for future needs As such, the committee recommends a broader view of
the value these properties can brmg to the District and the commumty at large than has been
traditIOnally recogmzed Below are some key pomts to conSider m future diSCUSSIOns regardmg
school owned propertIes
.
The Reed and the Rambow property seem less lIkely now to be needed for school
facIlItIes but are well pOSItIoned m the commumty for other uses Both should be
conSidered for the abilIty to maXimize any return from the ongmallllvestment up to and
llleludmg consldenng school dlstnct or Jomt development of the sites for long-term,
mcome-producmg capabilItIes Any development of these sites should also conSider the
opportumty to crcate housmg that might attract additIonal student populatIon to the west
end of Spnngfield
With the student populatIon growth rate relatIvely flat but shiftmg to the east, careful
planmng and strategic purchasmg of sItes must be conSidered for east Spnngfield
As populatIOn shifts east, the long-term use of the Guy Lee site should be reViewed m
lIght of the llltense commercial uses adJacent to this site
All Dlstnct propertlCs should contmually be reViewed for the long-term potentIal Jomt

While over tImc some faCIlItIes will reach their useful lIfe and need replacement, others With
ongomg mallltenance and some remodelIng can contmue to be used as pnmary places of learnmg
and/or fill other Dlstnct needs With the shlftmg student populatIon to the east and dlmlnIshmg
populatIOn m the rural areas, it is hkely the Dlstnct Will have excess school faCIlItIes Wlthlll the
mtermedIate tIme frame (0- I 0 years) Some key conSideratIOns necd to be analyzed

. Spnngfield Middle School and Brattam Elementary are two examplcs of schools that may
I
not be needed m the long term for traditIOnal elassroom lllstructlOn, but which are good
I
enough structurally for conSideratIon of other Distnct uses Some examples of other

for Goshen should Include othcr commumty uses given the newest bUildIng constructed
therc after the recent fire
Key to any long term re-use of Dlstnct faCilItIes IS close cooperatiOn and discussiOn With
other commuruty groups to IdcntIfy all commumty programs that might bcnefit from co-
locatiOn on eXistIng school sites
THE ADMINISTRA nON BUILDING
The AdmmlstratiOn BUlldmg on Mill Street IS reachmg the end of ItS functIonal hfe In ItS currcnt
configuratiOn As such, the commlttce has recommended the DiStriCt bcgm plannmg for ItS long-
term replacement at a new locatiOn which could be an eXistIng school faCIlIty However, as a
locatiOn the current bUlldmg Site IS m a key commuruty locatiOn and so careful analYSIS should
be concluded before any declSlons are made regardmg the future use of the bUlIdmg and/or thc
site
.
Any futurc use of the bUlldmg and/or site should be part of a larger commumty
discussiOn regardmg the Importance of the bUlldmg and locatIon to overall commuruty
goals
The Dlstnct should solICit support of key pubhc partncrs to be part of any longer range
plans for thiS bUlldmg and site
.
WEST TO EAST STUDENT POPULATION SHIFT
As noted earlIer, the student populatiOn m the City IS shiftIng east as the maJonty of new famtly
housmg IS bemg constructed m the eastern half of the City ThiS shift IS creatmg the need for the
Dlstnct to not only conSider the constructIon of an additiOnal elementary school m the eastern
half, but also so look carefully at how to accommodate the student populatIon left m West
Spnngfield
. If the current grade school populatIon could be evenly splIt mto schools of approximately
450 students m eXlstmg bUlldmgs, no new cIementary schools would need to be
constructed However, such a plan would reqUITe maJor boundary adJustments, major
transportation Issues, and extensive remodclmg at some schools that may not be the best
long-term sites
. Key for consIderatiOn m thiS area, though, IS what the DiStriCt would do If ultImately a
bond measure is not passcd to repIacc Maplc and Thurston Elementary and both those
schools become un-usable
. If a new Maple School IS bUilt, It Will accommodate more studcnts than currently
attendmg Maple Any opemng of a ncw school m the western part of the city needs to be
coordmatcd With plans to shift boundarIes between the remammg schools to fully utIlIzc
the ncwest faCIlIty and elImmate the need for bUildmgs of small populatiOn and lor less
functiOnal capacity
ENERGY CONSERVATION
All current school faclhtIes and certamly any new ones should be bUilt to take advantage of latest
technology, allowmg for energy conservatiOn and maJumum control of the comfort ofthc m-
school enVIronment The number one Issue heard from the staff throughout the Dlstnct was the
mabihty to control the comfort wlthm the classroom envlronmcnt Many needs have already

I
systems These need to be part of any overall long-term fmancmg commItment of the Distnct to
address, as noted m the immediate and mtermedlate needs chart Addlllonal sources of financmg
these improvements might be available m the form of low mterest loans, tax credits, and other
similar Items aVailable through the ulllIty eompanlCs or the Department of Energy
CONTINGENCY PLAN
As part of adoptmg a strategy for financmg the long-range facilIty plan, the Dlstnct should also
address a contmgency plan to be followed If no new bUildmgs are constructed as recommended
Certamly, any contmgency plan Will need to conSider all potentials for transportmg the shlftmg
populatIOn to areas where school capacity eXists and the bUildmgs can be reasonably assumed to
meet the mmlmum educallonal needs In addItIOn, the consideratIOn of other commurnty
structures available but not currently used for school uses would need to be idenllfied and
conSidered

November 2006 Bond Measure
Explanatory Statement
,
Springfield Schools face a number of problems as a result of agmg facilities
. 18 of the dlstnct's 24 schools are more than 40 years old
. 8 of those 18 schools were ongmally bUilt more than 55 years ago
. There have been no bond-funded renovatiOns, upgrades or illlprovements to distnct
facilitIes In more than 9 years *
This proposed bond measure to fund proJected classroom and faCIlities reqUIrements for all
Sprmgfield schools would
. Renovate and upgrade eXlstmg school facilities
. Replace two of the dlstnct's oldest schools
Renovate and upgrade eXlstmg school facIlItIes
The proposed bond measure would provide funds to renovate and upgrade eXlstmg school
buildings to extend their use Specifically it would
. Increase access to technology and the Internet by upgradmg technology Infrastructure
Distnct-wide
. Replace roofs and weather damaged Siding, and upgrade plumbmg systems
. Increase energy effiCiency by upgradmg heatmg and ventilation systems and replacmg
Windows and bOilers
. Make health, life safety upgrades In older schools such as fire and secunty alarm/entry
upgrades to illlprove school safety, asbestos removal mcludmg replacement offloonng,
selSm\C upgrades, and drmkmg water improvements
. Make reqUired ADA (Amencans With DisabIlitIes Act) improvements to mcrease
handIcapped access
. Provide upgrades and seating at high school outdoor faCilities
. Pay aSSOCiated bond Issuance costs
BUild two new replacement schools
. Replace Maple and Thurston Elementary Schools, ongmally buIlt In 1946 and 1950,
respectively Due to the condition of these bUildmgs, It IS more cost effectIve to tear down
and replace than repair the eXIsting structures, accordmg to architect and engmeerlng
assessments

Explanatory Statement, cant,
Bonds can only be used for bond projects
The bond issue's pnncipal amount cannot exceed $42,745,000 Bond proceeds can only be used
for costs associated with completing proJects lIsted on thiS ballot The use of bond funds for any
proJect not lIsted on thiS ballot would be prohibited
Because the distnct's 1997 bond levy IS being paid down, it is anllclpated that property taxes for
thiS proposed bond levy would remain at the current tax rate of approxnnately 97 cents per
$1,000 of assessed value For a home with an assessed value of$I50,000, the annual property tax
would be $ I 45 50 ThiS bond would be in effect for 22 5 years Personal property taxes could be
higher or lower depending on interest rates and growth in the Dlstnct's total assessed value and
other factors *

SubJect Data Request
Anthony,
As per our telephone conversatIOn here IS the data you requested There are two types of
capacItIes used Bmldmg capacity IS all regular classroom space (less gym, lIbrary,
cafetena, offices, etc ) thiS figure never changes FunctIOnal capacity IS all regular
classroom space less classrooms deSignated for resource rooms, self-contamed special
educatIon classes, mUSIC, and others (parent centers, Title I program etc ) thiS figure
changes annually based on the demographics of current enrollment
On a Side note wlthm the dlstnct boundaries for every 100 new smgle-famlly homes bmlt
we can expect 39 students For every 100 new multI-famIly Units we can expect 21
students ThiS IS based on all plan deSignatIons In the case of Marc 01 a Meadows based
on the MDR deSignatIon the questIOn becomes, IS the residentIal portIOn of the property
appealmg to familIes With chIldren versus familIes Without children based on
affordabllIty, deSIrabilIty of the area, and lot size EIther way the above students per
home figures should get you m the ball park for planmng purposes
Let me know If you need any additIonal mformatlOn or assistance
Thank you

GOAL ONE COAUTION
The suggested findmgs m the Staff Report rely on reports and other documents contanung
mventones, assumptIOns, and data that have not been establIshed for the entIre Metro UGB
area or mcorporated Into the comprehensIve plan This matenal mcludes data used to JustIfy
fmdmgs of complIance WIth goal 9 Any deCISIOn relYIng on such findmgs would not comply
WIth Goal 2
GoalS
RespondIng to InitIal comments from Goal One CoaltlOn concernmg applIcablhty of
land mventones pursuant to Ordmance #6150, adoptmg the SpnngfieId Natural
Resource Study, staffs positIOn IS that mventones establIshed pursuant to Goal 5 are
relevant consideratIOns m consldenng aVailabilIty of commerCial and mdustnal land
While It may be true that these Inventones are relevant to the Marcola Meadows Plan
Amendment and Zone Change proposal, the 'relevant' analyses (tables I I -2 and 1 1-
3) actually show lIttle Impact on the commerCIal lands mventory from Goal 5
protectIOn measures, and proVide no lIttle If any analyses of land aVailabIlIty WIthIn
the entIre Metro UGB area, rather than Just the Spnngfield UGB area Table I 1-2,
AnalYSIS of Maximum Possible Impact on Supply of CommerCIal Lands wlthm the
Spnngfield Urban Growth Boundary shows an Impact of I I 56 acres on Spnngfield's
(not the urban growth boundary area m it'S entIrety) commerCial land supply
AdditIonally, the analysIs pursuant to OrdInance #6150 fails to account for lands ADDED TO
the commercial mventory SInce 2000, mcludmg but not luruted to the Gateway MDR site's
100 acres, provldmg a skewed picture of the actual commerCial land mventory
To skew the picture even further, the analysIs of maxnnum possible lffipact from Goal 5
protectIon measures on supply of mdustnal lands (Orchnance #6150, table 11-1) considers
ALL mdustnal lands WIthm the entIre Metro UGB area, rather than Just the Spnngfield portIOn
of the VGB, and does not proVide a breakdown of number of Industnally zoned acres m
Spnngfield vs Eugene The 2000 SCLS, however (Table 3-2) shows that the number of
campus mdustnal acres by plan deSignatIon (I e - lIght medIUm mdustnal acres) m the
Spnngfield UGB area IS 198 77
Goal 6 - AIr, Water, and Land Resources Quality IS "To mamtam and Improve the
qualIty of the air, water and land resources of the state" Goal 6 proVIdes that dIscharges
from future development, combmed With discharges from eXlstmg development, shall not
"(I) exceed the carrymg capacity of such resources, consldermg long range needs, (2)
degrade such resources, or (3) threaten the aVailabilIty of such resources"
The Staff Report concludes that additIonal traffic from development alJowed by the plan
amendment WIll be no more slgmficant than that alJowed With the current plan
deSignatIOn However, the proposed plan amendment and zone change would allow for
and encourage more of the automobile-dependent, fossIl-fuel dependent, and greenhouse-
gas speWIng development patterns that are degradmg the air qualIty of Earth's
atmosphere and threatemng humamty's very eXistence The adverse Impacts on C02
emiSSIOns resultmg from development allowed by the plan amendment and zone change
have not been evaluated or considered

Goal 9 - EconomIc Development IS: "To proVIde adequate opportumtIes throughout the
state for a vanety of econOlllic actIVItIes VItal to the health, welfare, and prospenty of Oregon's
CItIzens "
The Staff Report's dISCUSSIOn of Goal 9 IS based upon a 2000 Spnngfield Commercial Lands
Study (SCLS) The Staff Report does mdlcate that the SCLS has not been adopted as part of
the Metro Plan Goal 2 reqUITes that mformatIon upon wluch land use deCISIOns are made be
contamed m the plan document or supportmg documents If the SCLS has not been adopted
as part of the Metro Plan, any rehance on that study alone for JustIficatIOn of the proposed plan
amendments IS mappropnate and unJustIfied
Oregon AdrmmstratIve Rule OAR 660 009 0000 , DIVISion 9 estabhshes the apphcablhty of
Goal 9 rules to Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendments (pAPA's) and speCifies certaIn
procedures and reqUITements for local governments to follow m the adoptIon or amendment of
all plan or land use regulatIons pertammg to Goal 9 In OAR 660 009 0010 4 the rule
chscusses procedures relevant to tlus apphcatlOn
Staff has mcorrectly dIsmissed the apphcablhty of the new proVISIOns of the Goal 9
admmlstratIve rule that became effectIve January 1,2007 In staff's "responses to wntten and
oral testImony", staff msmuates that because "the apphcatIon was submitted m September
2006, pnor to the effectIve date of changes made to Goal 9 by DLCD", the new Rules don't
apply That IS mcorrect
ORS 227 178 [Fmal actIOn on certam apphcatlOns reqUITed WltIun 120 days, procedure,
exceptIons, refunq of fees] at subsectIon (1) estabhshes "Except as proVided m subsectIOns
(3) and (5) oftlus sectIOn, the govenung body of a City or ItS deSIgnee shall take fmal actIon on
an apphcatIon for a permIt, IIml1ed land use declSlon or zone change (emphasiS added),
mcludmg resolutIOn of all appeals under ORS 227 180, WltIun 120 days after the apphcatIon is
deemed complete"
The current proposal mcludes a plan amendment, wluch IS not a penrut, l11ll1ted land use
deCISIon, or zone change ORS 197 175 [CItIes' and countIes' planrung responslblhtles, rules
on mcorporatIons, comphance With goals] at subsectIon (2), states "Pursuant to ORS
chapters 195, 196 and 197, each City and county m thiS state shall (a) Prepare, adopt, amend
and revise comprehenSIve plans (emphasiS added) m comphance With goals approved by the
cornnusslOn," Tlus proVISion establIshes that plan amendments must comply With the Goals,
m the case of tlus proposal, that means the new Goal 9 rules are apphcable to the proposed
plan amendments
The recently amended Goal 9 AdnurustratIve Rule (OAR 660-009-0010 at subsectIon (4) IS
NOT the provIsion that the applIcant has addressed m theu March 17 reVised Goal 9 fmdmgs
This proVISIon estabhshes that for a PAPA that proposes to change the plan deSignatIOn of
land m excess of 2 acres Wlthm an eXistIng urban growth boundary from an mdustnal use
deSignatIOn to a non-mdustnal use deSignatIon, or an other employment use deSignatIon to any
other use deSignatIOn, a City or county must address all apphcable planrung requuements, and

GOAL ONE COAUTION
(a) Demonstrate that the proposed amendment IS consistent With Its most recent economic
opporturutIes analysIs and (emphasis added) the parts of ItS acknowledged comprehenSive
plan winch addresses the reqUIrements of tlns dlVlslOn,
The applIcant appears to rely heaVily on mventory and pohcy statements establIshed by the
2000 SCLS m establIshmg that the proposal IS consIstent With the Goal 9 rule However, the
applIcant's analysIs of the proposals' consistency With comprehensive plan Econoll1lc
Element pohcles found m the Metropohtan General Plan, Chapter III, B-1 - B- 7 IS msufficlent
and does not address the most slgruficant polICies that must be conSidered
The proposal would decrease the City's campus mdustnalland mventory by 56 acres The
apphcant has not Justified the conversion of scarce, shovel ready mdustnal land, especially
land deSIgnated and zoned campus mdustnaI mslde the Metro UGB, even though Metro Plan
(comprehensive plan) Econoll1lc Element polIcy # 12 estabhshes that the cIties are to
"discourage future Metropohtan Area General Plan amendments that would change
development ready mdustnallands (sItes defmed as short - term m the metropolItan Industnal
Lands Special Study, 1991) to non-mdustnal deSignations "
In addressmg applIcablhty of the Spnngfield Commercial Lands Study 2000 SCLS, the
applIcant also appears to try to separate the Metro Area by J\ITlsdictIonal boundary However,
Eugene and Spnngfield have a shared and adopted UGB, ComprehensIve Plan, and Industnal
Lands study The J\ITlsdlctIonaIly focused SCLS does not analyze supply and demand for the
entlfe Metro UGB area and cannot be rehed upon to estabhsh consistency With the
reqUIrements of OAR 660-009-0010 (4), winch estabhshes that the proposed PAPA be
consistent With both (emphasiS added) the most recent econOll1lC opporturutIes analysIs (I e
the 2000 SCLS) and the comprehenSive plan
A related problem With placmg such heavy relIance on the 2000 SCLS to estabhsh Goal 9
comphance IS that m analyzmg supply and demand, the study falls to consJder or otherwise
account for lands added to the commercial mventory Via applIcant ImtIated and CIty approved
zone changes and plan amendments One very obvIOUS example of an additIOn to the
SpnngfieId commercial lands mventory was the 2003 plan amendment and zone change at the
IOO-acre Gateway MedIUm Density ReSidential site that had the effect of rezomng and
redeslgnatmg 100 acres of reSidential land to commercial The apphcant and staff have falled
to account for or otherwise address the addition of any commercial land to the SCLS, even
though It IS clear that more than 100 acres of commerCial land has been added to the mventory
smce the year 2000
The applIcant also rehes m part on mventones establIshed m conJunctIOn With adoptIOn of
Spnngfield's Natural Resource (NR) Study, by Ordmance #6150 on November 28, 2005
WlnIe those mventones may be relevant to tlns proposal m that pOSSible 'llllpacts' resultmg
from Goal 5 protection measures were conSidered for all zonmg clasSifications, the analysIs of
maximum poSSible llllpact on supply of commercIal lands pursuant to the study IS 1lll1lted to
the area Wlthm the Spnngfield portIOn of the Metro UGB (table 11-2) Agam, because
Eugene and Spnngfield share a UGB and a comprehensive plan, an analYSIS of the entlfe
UGB area IS necessary to establIsh an accurate picture of the supply of commercIal lands
Marcola Meadows, LRP 2006-00027 & ZON 2006-00054

GOAL ONE COALITION
In any case, the NR Study found that the maximum possIble l1llpact of Goal 5 protectIOn
measures on the Spnngfield Commercial Lands Inventory would be the loss of I I 56
"commercIal acres"
LOSS OF INDUSTRIAL LAND
The proposed plan amendments and zone changes would remove 56 acres of shovel ready
campus mdustnal land from the Metro UGB area mdustnallands mventory The apphcant IS
proposmg to site a Lowe's home l1llprovement center on I I acres of commuruty commercial
zorung Wlthm the subJect parcel The apphcant has smd nothmg about the eXIstence of another
home Improvement store located Wlthm y" rmle or less of the subJect property Given that
there already IS a home l1llprovement store Wlthm the eXlstmg neighborhood, the apphcant has
not Justified convertmg the scarce, shovel ready campus mdustnalland for commercial uses
that already eXist Wlthm the neighborhood
The apphcant has CIted only two comprehensive plan (Metro Plan) pohcies from the
'EconomIc Element' (Chapter Ill, SectIon B) of the Plan as "directly relevant" to the
proposed PAP A The two Plan pohcles conSidered by the apphcant as relevant to the supply
of mdustnalland are pohcles 6 and 12
Pohcy 6 merely states "Increase the amount of undeveloped land zoned (emphasiS added) for
hght mdustnal and commercial uses correlatmg the effectIve supply m terms of smtabihty and
avmIablhty WIth the proJectIons of demand" The apphcant states that tlus pohcy IS
"ImperatIve and proVides clearer guidance than Pohcy 12" Tlus IS mcorrect Tlus pohcy
addresses zorung only, not plan deSignatIOn, and concerns the necessity of havmg adequate
supphes of land of both commercial and mdustnal deSignatIons It says nothmg concern1Og
the apphcablhty of favonng one plan deSignatIon over the other
Pohcy 12 IS stronger than Pohcy 6 on the Issue of the supply of campus mdustnalland Tlus
pohcy states "Discourage future Metro Plan amendments (emphasiS added) that would
change development-ready mdustnallands (sites defined as short-term m the metropohtan
Industnal Lands SpeCial Study, 1991) to non-1Odustnal del'ignatlOns (emphasis added) The
subJect property, IdentIfied m the IndustnaI Lands Pohcy Report (1993) as be10g m RegIOn 7,
site #5, IS noted m the Report (on page 50) as appropnate for a campus mdustnal Plan
category The site IS also noted 10 the same document as a "short term site" (page 20)
Although the apphcant states that these two pohcles "WIll often be m COnfliCt" because
"mcreasmg the amount of undeveloped commercial land WIll frequently be at the expense of
the 1Oventory of mdustnalland", tlus opmlOn IS not substantiated by eVidence m the record

throughout the Eugene-Spnngfield Metro UGB area
5 - Provide eXlstmg mdustnal actlVltIes suffiCient adJacent land for future expansion
TIns Plan proVISion is dIreCtly applIcable because the 100 3 acre site IS currently zoned,
designated, and bUIlt out to take advantage of campus mdustnal designatIOn and zorung This
proposal to ehrmnate 56 acres of campus mdustnal zorung adJacent to eXlstmg and developed
campus mdustnal zorung, plan designatIon, and uses IS clearly mconslstent With the Metro
Plan Econonuc element, and lfapproved would have the effect ofhnutmg future growth and
expansIOn of the eXlstmg campus mdustnal uses
7 - Encourage mdustnal park development, mcludmg areas for warehousmg and dlstnbutlve
mdustnes and research and development actIvItIes
The applIcant and staff state that there IS lIttle or no mterest m mdustnal development these
days, and pamt a picture of mdustry that IS other than what campus mdustnal zorung and plan
designatIOns expect However, the Econonuc Element of the Metro Plan, FmcImg #17
establIshes "Special hght mdustnal firms" (I e campus mdustnal) "have vaned site locatIon
requrrements, prefer alternative sites to choose from, and usually benefit from locatIon of other
special lIght mdustnal firms Wltrun the commuruty and Wltlun the same mdustnal
development" The subJect Site IS located Wlthm an eXistmg campus mdustnal (s II ) site The
proposal faIls to address the Impacts on the eXlstmg campus mdustnal uses from the potentIal
loss of 56 acres of adJacent campus mdustnalland
9 - Encourage the expansion of eXlstmg and the locatIon of new manufactunng actIVitIes
wluch are charactenzed by low levels of pollutIon and effiCient energy use
Staffhas not discussed efforts to attract and/or encourage expanSIOn of manufactunng
actlVltIes that could be Sited on campus mdustnal zoned and deSignated lands The only
reference to tlus Issue from staff IS that there hasn't been much mterest m the site from the
mdustnal development sector
15 - Encourage compatIbilIty between mdustnally zoned lands and adJacent areas m local
planrung program
Neighbors have expressed no concern about their quality of lIfe from eXIstIng campus
mdustnal uses The concern IS With the conversIOn to commercial and reSidentIal uses The
applIcant has not addressed why or how the eXlstmg campus mdustnal zorung and plan
deSignatIon IS mcompatIble With the adJacent neighborhood zorung and plan deSignatIon
16 - UtilIze processes and local controls which encourage retentIon oflarge parcels or
consohdatIon of small parcels of mdustnally or commercIally zoned land to faCIlItate theIr use
or reuse m a comprehensive rather than piecemeal fasluon
The subJect property (56 acres) IS part of a large parcel (100 3 acres), all of wluch IS zoned and
deSignated campus mdustnal Staff IS directed by tlus polIcy to encourage retentIon of tlus

28 - ReCOgnize the Vital role of neighborhood commercial facIlitIes m provldmg services and
goods to a particular neIghborhood
TIns PAPA l-',vl-'v3al requests nodal deSIgnatIons and zornng yet has not conSIdered or

AdditIOnally, applIcant states that the commerCial zonmg 'would not be part of the node'
However, the locatIon of the proposed additIonal I I acres of commumty commercial zomng
and commercial plan deSignatIOn IS clearly part of the subJect parcel and the 'draft master

Staff and applIcant have not addressed the applIcabilIty of commumty commercial zorung
Wlthm a node, or explamed why neighborhood commerCial zorung IS bemg Ignored for lugher

Goal 12 - Transportation is "To proVide and encourage a safe, convenIent and economiC

OAR 660-012-0060 (the TPR) reqUires a companson of traffic Impacts allowed under
pre- and post-amendment plan and ZOnIng by companng the most traffic mtenslve use
allowed m each zone However, the proper pomt of companson is "allowed land uses,"
not uses allowed under a specific development plan, partIcularly development plans that
can be modified at any tIme Without a plan amendment or zone change Griffiths v CIty
of CorvallIS, 50 Or LUBA 588 (2005)
To adequately address the reqUirements of the TPR, the TIA must assume the most
mtense traffic-generatmg use allowed under the proposed ZOnIng and must assume that
use IS developed at the maximum allowed mtenslty The proposal to apply the /ND
deSignatIOn to the entIre 54 7 acres of proposed MDR designatIOn and ZOnIng would be
appropnate If thiS were to be a truly nodal development However, the mcluslOn of a
Lowe's Home Improvement store adJacent to proposed reSidentIal development raises
concerns about traffic and congestIOn and safety that would not otherwise be an Issue m a
pedestnan, transit onented area
In apphcant's discussIOn of why a home Improvement center IS appropnate m a Nodal
Development Area, apphcant states that the "applIcatIOn does not seek to apply the Nodal
Development Area deSignatIOn to the land on which the home Improvement store Will be
proposed by the Master Plan applIcatIOn"
While statmg that the PAPA would have the effect of estabhshmg a node on 80 acres of
MedIUm Density ReSidentIal and Commercial land that do not mclude the possible site of
the home Improvement center, the applIcant does not discuss or JustIfy the
appropnateness of sltmg a home Improvement center withm the boundanes of a Nodal
area
Accordmg to the applIcant "a home Improvement center affihated With the proposed
Nodal Development Area Will augment the neighborhood retail traffic of the stores withm
the Nodal Development designatIon thereby mcreasmg their chances for commerCial
success" However, as a result of the level of traffic expected from thiS kmd of
development, the apphcant has suggested establIshmg 'tnp caps' that Will lImit the
number of dwellIng UnIts allowed m the 54 7 acres of proposed MDRfND designated
land ThiS mternal mconslstency (/ND to allow more density to support a walkmg,
transit onented area IS lost m the shuffle to deal With extra traffic actually generated by
Lowes' more so than by additIOnal reSidentIal densIty whIch IS not Just allowed but
expected pursuant to the /ND designatIon) is an mdlcatIon that a commerCial deSignatIOn

and cannot be rehed upon to adequately evaluate potentIal transportatIOn system Impacts

The subJect property IS actually located WIthm Y:, mile of an "mterstate mterchange

tlus situatIOn as mconsistent With the polICies supportmg Nodal Development m the
Metro Plan (TransportatIOn element) has not been addressed by the applIcant or staff
The proposal states only that the suggested mitigatIOn at tlus mtersectlOn Will help aVOId
further degradatIOn of the system m the plan year 2025 " "AvOIds further degradatIon" IS
not the applIcable standard the mIligatlOn must meet the city standard and mamtam LOS
D or better The mitigatIOn must meet the state standard and "assur[e] that the allowed
land uses are conSistent WIth the functIOn, capacity and performance standards of the
faCIlIty

Goal 13 - Energy IS "To conserve energy" Goal I3 reqUIres "Land and uses
developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maxImize the
conservatIOn of all forms of energy, based upon sound economIC pnnclples "
The Staff Report makes conclusory findmgs regardmg Goal I3 However, the proposed
findmgs are not supported by any eVidence whatsoever
The type of development that would be enabled by the plan amendment and zone change
IS nothmg else than more of the auto-dependent development that has led to the energy
and chmate cnses we face Truly energy-efficient development would be smaller m scale
so that the market area drawn upon by the faCIlIties would truly lImited to surroundmg
neighborhoods, and so the faCIlIties would be accessible not by cars but by people - by
foot, bicycle, and publIc transportatIOn
No studies have been done demonstratmg that customers of development allowed by the
amendments would m fact come from the market area defined by i the surroundmg
neighborhoods No studIes have been done evaluatmg the energy iconsequences of
alternatIve development patterns - of relymg on more, smaller, and well-dlstnbuted
commercial and office areas rather than larger and fewer areas

In the absence of any analYSIS of the energy consequences of the proposed amendments,
findmgs of comphance With Goal 13 cannot be made or JustIfied
III, ConclUSIOn
The proposed amendments would create a 56-acre residentIal and commercial site Wlthrn an
eXistIng 100 3 acre campus mdustnal site
The proposed plan amendment IS not logical and harmonIous With the land use pattern for
the greater area The proposed change IS not "logical and harmonIous" because It IS not
consistent With the development pattern envIsIOned m the Metro Plan
The plan amendment would allow for "bIg box" or other hlgh-mtenslty retail
development, development could not be limIted m scope so as to be appropnate to the
surroundmg neighborhoods and community
Development allowed by the proposed amendment would disrupt and be mcompatible
With the surroundmg residentIal and campus mdustnal environments and IS not consistent
With the Metro Plan
As explamed above, the proposed amendment IS mconslstent WIth the mtent of the Econorruc
Element of the Metro Plan, and does not comply WIth Metro Plan pohcles Therefore It cannot
be found to be compatIble WIth these Plans
Comphance WIth stateWIde planmng goals, mcludmg goals 2, 6, 9, 10, 12, and 13, has not
been estabhshed In particular, It has not been estabhshed that the Eugene-SpnngfieId Metro
UGB area's supply of campus mdustnalland WIll be protected pursuant to the PAPA and zone
change proposal
The requested plan amendment does not comply WIth poliCies of the Metro Plan and
