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 I use With other commumty partners ensunng maximum publIc return on the mvestment and the abihty to enhance the educatIonal environment With other programs I . . . RE-USE OF EXISTING FACITLITIES 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 I . 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 I potentIal uses melude futurc locatIon for admmlstratIve functIOns, alternatIve and speCial I educatIon, health services and othcr Similar services that do not necessanly need to be accommodated m each mdlVldual bUlldmg I . Mohawk and Goshen Elementary schools are both near deCISIOn pOllltS rcgardmg long- I term VIabilIty ofkeepmg thcm opcn For Mohawk, certamly, consideratIOn of any I opportumty With the nelghbonng school dlstnct should be a consldcratlOn ConSideratIOn I PAGE 2 FACILITY PLAN KEY POLICY ITEMS . 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 .

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 .

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

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

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 5 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,

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 estabhshmg how much mdustnalland (deSignated, not zoned) has been converted to commercial land In fact, 100 acres ofland deSignated reSidentIal was approved for conversIOn to commefClal by Spnngfield City CounCil m 2003 Both staff and the apphcant are Silent on the Issue of converslOns to commercial from other deSignatIOns Wlthm the Metro UGB area Apphcant's assumptIon that mcreasmg the supply of commercial land WIll "frequently" be at the expense of the mdustnal mventory IS clearly unsubstantIated The PAPA proposal must be consistent WIth the Economic Element of the Comprehensive plan m It'S entirety A maJor ormsslon found 10 the apphcatlOn and staff report IS an analysIs of all the Metro Plan Economic Element pohcles other than the two addressed by the apphcant Marcola Meadows, LRP 2006-00027 & ZON 2006-00054 6 GOAL ONE COALITION (polICies 6 and 12) The remammg 30 pohcles should be addressed m some manner More specifically, the followmg polICies are dIrectly relevant to the mventory of mdustnal lands 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 large parcel of mdustnally zoned and deSignated land, wluch is the last remmrung large parcel of campus mdustnal land Wlthm the Spnngfield City IInuts Marcola Meadows, LRP 2006-00027 & ZON 2006-00054 7 GOAL ONE COALITION 2 I - Reserve several areas Wlthm the UGB for large scale, campus type, lIght manufactunng uses Staffhas falled to address the Impact that this proposal Will have on the dWIndlmg supply of shovel ready

Street and Marcola Road (wluch mcludes the 56 acre subJect property) as the last remammg large parcel zoned and deSIgnated for campus mdustnal use mSlde the Spnngfield City lumts 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 othefWIse addressed the applIcabilIty of neighborhood commercial zornng vs the requested commurnty commerCial zorung CommerCial scale development IS mcompatIble With true nodal development elements mcludmg proVISIOn of servICes for neighborhood access rather than regional scale access, pedestnan and alternatIVe mode accesSIbIlIty, a lIDX ofhousmg types and affordabllIty throughout the nodal area 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 plan' that the applIcant IS promotmg concurrently With the plan amendment and zone change proposal 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 mtenslty uses m this eXistIng neighborhood All the Metro Plan EconomiC Element polICies are applIcable to tlus apphcatIon, and should have been addressed by the applIcant Goal 10 - Housmg IS "To proVide for the housmg needs of cItIzens of the state

conclusIOns that there IS a surplus of bUIldable land through the 2015 plannmg honzon Approval of the proposed plan amendment to add an addItIonal 19 acres of reSidentIal land IS not Justified on a

Meadows, LRP 2006-00027 & ZON 2006-00054 8 GOAL ONE COALITION scarce shovel ready campus mdustnal land IS consistent With the Housmg and Economic pohcles of the Metro Plan Goal 12 - Transportation is "To proVide and encourage a safe, convenIent and economiC transportatIon system" OAR 660 DlVlslOn 12 Implements Goal 12 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 for Lowe's and a nodal designatIOn IS mconslstent With the Transportation element of the Metro Plan An adequate transportation Impacts analYSIS must assume the most mtense traffic- generatmg use allowed under the proposed ZOnIng and plan designatIOn and must assume Marcola Meadows, LRP 2006-00027 & ZON 2006-00054 9 GOAL ONE COALITION that use is developed at the maXimum allowed mtenslty This proposal has faIled to do so and cannot be rehed upon to adequately evaluate potentIal transportatIOn system Impacts as reqUIred by the TPR The subJect property IS actually located WIthm Y:, mile of an "mterstate mterchange 1 I th area" The close proXImity of the 1-105/126 Eugene-Spnngfield Hlgway and 19 Street mtersectlOn to the subJect 'nodal site' IS lIkely to allow and encourage a large amount of regIOnal shoppers travelIng by automobIle to easily access tlus sIte ConsideratIOn of 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 As has been prevIOusly discussed, m determmmg whether the applIcable standards are met the TIA must assume the most mtense traffic-generatmg use allowed under the proposed CR zomng and must assume that use IS developed at the maximum allowed mtenslty , 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 1 OAR 660-012-0060(4)(e)(C) defines "mterchange area" "Interstate Interchange area means "(I) Property wlthm

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,
