WORK SESSION
1. Land Use Efficiency Measure Implementation: Discussion of a proposed new residential zoning district –
At the June 2nd work session the Planning Commission and a Residential Lands Study focus group discussed the concept of creating a new Low Density Residential (LDR) zoning district with an
intermediate density range between LDR and MDR levels. The zoning district would be applicable to
new residential areas added to Springfield’s UGB and later – after additional analysis, public involvement,
adoption of Infill Design Standards, and through refinement plan updates and specific neighborhood
planning – the City could consider the application of the new zone to infill sites within existing neighborhoods. The new zone implements one of several land use efficiency measures prioritized by the
City Council, Planning Commission and Residential Lands Stakeholder Committee. The zone is
tentatively named LDR-3 (“-3” refers to the proposed 3,000 square feet minimum lot/parcel size).
