1. Proposed Amendment to SDC Article 26 – Hillside Development Overlay extending the
potential use of Cluster Development –
The proposed amendments to Article 26 – Hillside Development Overlay District, relate to inquiries that have been made by area developers and the larger issue of Springfield’s remaining vacant Buildable residential land. The amendments, if approved would apply to
future developments such as that being discussed for the Gray-Jacqua property in east Thurston Hills that would preserve the upper slopes for park and open space while clustering
development at higher density on the lower slopes. Existing standards in Article 26 cap
cluster development at a density of 8 dwelling units per acre which is less than that allowed in LDR zoning.
Planner: Mark Metzger 30 Minutes
2. Proposed Amendment to SDC Article 2, 18 and 20 Defining “Home Improvement centers” and Showing their Approved Zoning –
The purpose of this amendment is to define “home improvement centers” as a specific use for inclusion in Article 2 – Definitions and to add “home improvement centers” to the list of uses
found in Article 18 – Commercial zoning districts and article 20 – Industrial zoning districts. The proposed zoning designations are based on the prior action of the Planning Commission on recognizing home improvement centers as a permitted use in industrial zones and on a site
plan approval by staff allowing the location of the Jerry’s Home Improvement Center in a commercial zone.
