DISCRETIONARY USE - WILLAMALANE – Willamalane and the City of Springfield propose the development of a community park near the intersection of South 32nd Street and Main Street. The property was recently re-zoned Public Land and Open Space (PLO) on December 9, 2002, and Partitioned August 30, 2002, into three parcels. The 19-acre proposed community park will include two artificial turf fields; two natural turf fields; basketball and playground areas; picnic and restroom facilities; and, associated parking and landscaping. Springfield Development Code 23.100(3) requires that community parks shall be designated on a Park or Public Facilities Plan adopted by the City, or be approved in accordance with Type III Discretionary Use review procedures before the Planning Commission. Planner: Kitti Gale 30 Minutes 2. PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT AND RE-PLAT CODE AMENDMENTS – The Springfield Development Code has had provisions concerning Lot Line Adjustments since its adoption in 1986. A Revision to ORS 92 in the early 90’s changed the term “Lot Line” to “Property Line” Adjustments; however, staff did not amend the SDC at that time. Staff became aware of the Land Use Board of Appeals Final Opinion and Order No 2003-087 from Coos County in March 2003. Discussions with the City Attorney led to the proposed amendments to Property Line Adjustments and Replats. Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Midwest Chapter of the Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon on June 10, 2003 and met with Roxie Cuellar of the Lane County Home Builders Association on June 18, 2003. Comments from both groups were favorable. The City held a meeting with developers on May 19, 2003 to address concerns about the Planning application review process. One of the items suggested and discussed was the Pre- Submittal Meeting. Staff is proposing the SDC be amended to include this process.
