1. Proposed Amendment to Article 40 of the Springfield Development Code – Mixed-Use
Zoning District -
Article 40 is the primary element of the Development Code that implements mixed-use and nodal development. In the wake of Eugene’s experience with implementing nodal development in the Spring of 2004, the Springfield Council directed staff to review Article 40 of the Development
Code to determine if it contains policies that might inadvertently be a stumbling block to desired development.
In work session, staff will brief the Commission on proposed amendments to Article 40. In regular session, the Commission will conduct a public hearing concerning these amendments and
will make a recommendation to the City Council concerning their adoption.
Planner: Mark Metzger 20 Minutes
