ITEM TITLE: HIGH VISIBILITY CELLULAR TOWER APPLICATION—SKYWAY TOWERS LLC ON BEHALF OF T-MOBILE WIRELESS, CASES TYP316-00003 AND TYP216-00050
ACTION REQUESTED: Conduct a public hearing and approve, approve with amendments, or deny a proposal by Skyway Towers to construct a 150-foot tall monopole cellular tower on an existing, vacant industrial
property at 2037 Laura Street.
ISSUE STATEMENT: The applicant has submitted Discretionary Use and Site Plan Review applications for a new wireless telecommunication tower facility within an existing equipment storage yard at 2037 Laura Street. The proposed cellular tower is a standard monopole design with top-mounted antenna
array, which is classified as a “High Visibility” wireless telecommunication facility requiring Planning Commission approval. Section 4.3-145.F of the Springfield Development Code (SDC)
provides Discretionary Use standards for approving the cellular tower placement. Upon referral
the City Council declined to conduct the hearing on this proposal.

DISCUSSION:
The proposed monopole tower facility is located at the northeast corner of an industrial property that abuts the western edge of Pioneer Parkway West north of the intersection with Q Street. The
subject property is vacant and has been used for storage of construction equipment and machinery.
The subject site is zoned mixed use Light-Medium Industrial/Community Commercial (LMI/CC) in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan
diagram. Properties in the immediate vicinity are zoned for mixed use commercial, industrial, and
residential. The subject property and abutting properties are industrial in nature and staff has applied the provisions of the LMI district to the site. High Visibility cellular tower facilities are
allowable in the Light Medium Industrial district subject to Discretionary Use approval.
The proposed cellular tower is just west of the southbound travel lanes of Pioneer Parkway West
and adjacent to the EWEB waterline that runs across north Springfield. There are existing residential dwellings in the vicinity of the subject site on the east side of Pioneer Parkway and to
the west on Scotts Glen Drive. The nearest residentially-zoned property is about 190 feet east of
the proposed tower site. Skyway Towers, on behalf of T-Mobile Wireless, has provided evidence of a substantial capacity and coverage gap in the mid-Springfield area (Attachment 3), particularly
with modern data streaming demands. According to the applicant’s submittal, two of the T-Mobile
cellular facilities currently providing coverage for this area of Springfield (a tower located near Gateway Mall and a tower on Quarry Hill) are exceeding capacity. Therefore, the proposed
cellular tower facility would allow the wireless provider to improve service capacity in the area.
Staff has prepared a staff report and recommendation based on the review criteria found in SDC
Section 4.3-145.F and SDC Section 5.9-120 (Attachment 1). The findings presented by staff provide a substantive basis for conditionally approving a high visibility wireless
telecommunication facility at the subject property. Staff has also prepared a staff report with
recommended conditions of approval for the Site Plan Review application, which is based on the review criteria found in SDC Section 5.17-125 (Attachment 2).
Staff received one written comment in response to the mailed notice of the Public Hearing for Discretionary Use and Site Plan Review applications. However, staff advises that the response was
not related to the criteria of approval and therefore has not been included herein.
Staff Report and Findings Springfield Planning Commission Discretionary Use Request (T-Mobile Wireless)
Hearing Date: December 20, 2016
Case Number: TYP316-00003 Applicant: Justin Jones, Skyway Towers LLC on behalf of T-Mobile Wireless
Site: 2037 Laura Street (Map 17-03-27-10, Tax Lot 2200)
Request The application was submitted on October 28, 2016 and the public hearing on the matter of the
Discretionary Use request is scheduled for December 20, 2016. The City conducted a Development
Review Committee meeting on the Discretionary Use request on December 6, 2016. Site Information/Background The industrial property that is the subject of the Discretionary Use request is located at 2037 Laura Street
and is used for storage of construction vehicles and machinery (Photos 1 & 2). The physical location of
the proposed cellular tower is in the extreme northeast corner near the western edge of Pioneer Parkway West. The applicant is proposing to construct a 150-foot high monopole cellular tower with equipment
cabinets and fenced enclosure about 30 feet from the eastern boundary and 24 feet from the northern
boundary of the subject property. Monopole cellular towers are classified as “high visibility” wireless
telecommunications system (WTS) facilities in accordance with Section 4.3-145.E of the Springfield
Development Code (SDC). High visibility wireless telecommunications system facilities (ie. monopoles or lattice towers) are allowable in the Light Medium Industrial (LMI) District subject to Discretionary
Use approval in accordance with SDC Section 4.3-145.F.5 and Table 4.3-1.

The property is zoned and designated mixed use Community Commercial/Light Medium Industrial (CC/LMI) in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan diagram (Figure 1). Staff observes that the subject site is surrounded by existing industrial buildings and
uses, so provisions of the LMI zoning district have been applied to this property. High visibility wireless
telecommunication systems facilities are allowable in the Light Medium Industrial district subject to
Discretionary Use approval in accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.5, Table 4.3-1, and 4.3-145.H. The property has an undeveloped “panhandle” frontage on Laura Street along the west boundary.
However, access to the site will be derived from the adjacent EWEB corridor or the industrial property to
the north. The applicant is examining two alternatives for providing legal and physical access to the
tower enclosure in the northeast corner of the site. Staff advises that either alternative would be acceptable, provided an executed and recorded access easement is obtained from the adjacent property owner. Utility connections will be extended from connection points along the perimeter of the property,
including the Pioneer Parkway right-of-way. The applicant has submitted a Site Plan Review application
under separate cover (Case TYP216-00050) for the proposed wireless telecommunications system facility
and compound. A more detailed review of the site access and utility configuration is provided in the accompanying Site Plan Review report (Attachment 2).
Notification and Written Comments
Notification of the December 20, 2016 public hearing was sent to all property owners and residents within
300 feet of the site on November 28, 2016. Notification was also published in the legal notices section of The Register Guard on December 13, 2016.
Public notification was also sent to all property owners and residents within 300 feet of the site on
November 22, 2016 for the companion Site Plan Review application submitted under separate cover (Case
TYP216-00050). Staff received one written response from Suzanne Fenner, 328 Scotts Glen Drive, Springfield, 97477 (Attachment 4). Staff advises that the written comments pertain specifically to radio frequencies and electromagnetic radiation emanating from wireless telecommunications system facilities.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for regulatory oversight of radio

frequency emissions. In accordance with the Federal Telecommunications Act (1996) and SDC 4.3-145.F, the City cannot prohibit the provision of personal wireless services on the basis of radio frequency emissions or other federally-regulated standards. For this reason, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission accepts Ms. Fenner’s comments as information only. The respondent was encouraged to
submit new testimony for the public hearing and/or testify at the public hearing meeting and to direct their
comments specifically to the criteria of approval for this proposal. Figure 1 – Zoning Map Extract

Proposed Findings In Support of Discretionary Use Approval
Criterion: Discretionary Use criteria of approval:
D. Applicable Discretionary Use criteria in other Sections of this Code:
1. Wireless telecommunications systems facilities requiring Discretionary Use approval are exempt from Subsections A-C above, but shall comply with the approval criteria specified in Section 4.3-145.
Procedural Finding: The approval criteria for wireless telecommunications system facilities are listed in SDC 4.3-145.F – General Standards. The proposed monopole tower is classified as a
“high visibility” facility in accordance with SDC 4.3-145.E. The applicable standards for wireless
telecommunications systems facilities are as follows:
1) Design for co-location. All new towers shall be designed to structurally accommodate the maximum number of additional users technically practicable.
Applicant’s Submittal: “The tower will be able to collocate up to four carriers with the
antennas and ground equipment. The exact number of antennas for the carriers will be determined upon an engineering study for each.”
Finding 1: The applicant has designed the wireless telecommunications system (WTS) facility
to accommodate additional users, thereby allowing for co-location at the subject site. The
applicant’s submittal (Attachment 3 to the AIS) shows the location of at least three additional
antenna arrays that could be mounted below the T-Mobile Wireless antenna array. Tower loading for the currently proposed and potential future antenna arrays will be reviewed through
the building permitting process for the facility.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
2) Demonstrated Need for New WTS Facilities. Applications shall demonstrate that the proposed WTS facility is necessary to close a significant gap in service coverage or capacity for the carrier and is the least intrusive means to close the significant gap.
Applicant’s Submittal: “The purpose of the [proposed site development] is to expand and complete cell phone coverage for T-Mobile customers. The geographic service area is
indicated in the applicant’s submitted study and show a need for this tower in the area
selected. T-Mobile’s FCC license requires that they provide the best possible coverage to
Attachment 1, Page 5 of 16
their customers along with 911 emergency service, and when there is a gap in coverage they are obligated to correct that issue.”
Finding 2: The applicant’s submittal (Attachment 3) shows the existing gap in coverage, along
with the location of the existing Verizon Wireless facilities near Gateway Mall and on Quarry
Hill. According to the applicant’s submittal the coverage and capacity gaps can be addressed by the proposed monopole tower.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
3) Lack of Coverage and Lack of Capacity. The application shall demonstrate that the gap in service cannot be closed by upgrading other existing facilities. In doing so, evidence shall clearly support a conclusion that the gap results from a lack of coverage and not a lack of capacity to achieve adequate service. If the proposed WTS facility is to improve
capacity, evidence shall further justify why other methods for improving service capacity
are not reasonable, available or effective. Applicant’s Submittal: “This site was chosen due to a gap in coverage for T-Mobile in the
area and also to expand their coverage. T-Mobile has two towers within a 5-mile radius: one
is located at 800 8th Street to the south of our proposed tower site that does not cover the gap in coverage and a second tower at 3022 Gateway Loop to the [northwest] of our proposed tower site; this tower also does not give coverage to the area of our proposed site. Sprint
Wireless has a tower at Olympic and 28th Street that is at full capacity and has no ground
space available; it would not provide the coverage that T-Mobile need due to tower height and
location. The two existing sites [at Gateway Loop and 8th Street] are already experiencing congestion for most of the time of the day. By mid-2017 this will become critical and will severely impact our customer experience in Springfield. Also, areas located northeast and
southwest of the proposed site are experiencing weak coverage, not suitable for in-building
servicing [and] being limited to in-vehicle service only.”
Finding 3: The applicant’s submittal indicates that there is an existing coverage gap in the area to be served by the proposed monopole tower. The proposed facility addresses the coverage
gap according to the applicant’s submittal and supporting information.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
4) Identify the Least Intrusive Alternative for Providing Coverage. The application shall demonstrate a good faith effort to identify and evaluate less intrusive alternatives, including, but not limited to, less sensitive sites, alternative design systems, alternative
tower designs, the use of repeaters, or multiple facilities. Subsection F.5. defines the type
of WTS facilities that are allowed in each zoning district.
Applicant’s Submittal: “This site was chosen due to a gap in coverage for T-Mobile in the
area and also to expand their coverage. Several candidates were reviewed for the site but this
site provided the best screening from Pioneer Parkway W (large arborvitaes along the east and north property lines) as well as access to power and fiber lines (along the east side of Pioneer Parkway W). The lease area is also used by the property owner for equipment and is
located in a light industrial setting. The nearest residential is approximately 300 feet to the
east and it is screened by the arborvitaes along the east property line of our lease area, large
pine trees along Pioneer Parkway W along both sides of the Parkway as well as in the median
Attachment 1, Page 6 of 16
area. The residential area is not going to be able to see the tower (see the enclosed photosims) and will not be impacted visually.”
Finding 4: The applicant’s submittal and supporting information demonstrates that the
location and design of the proposed monopole tower is necessary to address the coverage and
capacity gap in this area of Springfield. Conclusion: This standard has been met.
5) Location of WTS Facilities by Type. Subsection E. defines various types of WTS
facilities by their visual impact. These are: high visibility, moderate visibility, low visibility and stealth facilities. Table 4.3-1 lists the type of WTS facilities allowed in each of Springfield’s zoning districts.
Finding 5: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.E, wireless transmissions system facilities that are
monopole or lattice towers are considered “high visibility”. In accordance with SDC Table 4.3-1, high visibility facilities are allowable in the Light Medium Industrial district.
Finding 6: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.H, high visibility wireless transmissions system
facilities require Type III Planning Commission review. The applicant has submitted
concurrent Discretionary Use (Case TYP316-00003) and Site Plan Review (Case TYP216-00050) applications for Planning Commission review. Pursuant to SDC 4.3-145l.H.4.a, on November 14, 2016, this application was referred to the Springfield City Council for
consideration of transferring the review and approval authority from the Planning Commission
to the City Council. The City Council declined this opportunity to replace the Planning
Commission as approval authority for this application, therefore a public hearing before the Planning Commission has been scheduled for December 20, 2016.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
6) Maximum Number of High Visibility WTS Facilities. No more than 1 high visibility facility is allowed on any 1 lot/parcel.
Finding 7: The applicant is proposing a high visibility wireless transmissions system facility
on the subject property, and there are no other similar facilities on the property or adjoining
sites. Conclusion: This standard has been met.
7) Separation Between Towers. No new WTS tower may be installed closer than 2,000 feet
from any existing or proposed tower unless supporting findings can be made under Subsections F.2, 3 and 4 by the Approval Authority.
Finding 8: The applicant’s submittal confirms that the nearest wireless telecommunications
system tower operated by T-Mobile Wireless or any other carrier is more than 2,000 feet from
the subject site.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
Attachment 1, Page 7 of 16
8) WTS Facilities Adjacent to Residentially Zoned Property. In order to ensure public safety, all towers located on or adjacent to any residential zoning district shall be set back from all residential property lines by a distance at least equal to the height of the facility, including any antennas or other appurtenances. The setback shall be measured
from that part of the WTS tower that is closest to the neighboring residentially zoned
property. Finding 9: The subject property is zoned Light Medium Industrial, and therefore the proposed
facility is not on a residential zoning district. The proposed tower location is approximately 30
feet inside the east boundary of the site and is also separated by the 170-foot wide Pioneer
Parkway corridor from the nearest residential property. The proposed tower is 150 feet high, which ensures that the tower is set back more than the height of the tower from the nearest
residential property. The applicant’s submittal demonstrates that the tower will be sufficiently
removed from residential properties in accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.8.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
9) Historic Buildings and Structures. No WTS facility shall be allowed on any building or structure, or in any district, that is listed on any Federal, State or local historic register
unless a finding is made by the Approval Authority that the proposed facility will have
no adverse effect on the appearance of the building, structure, or district. No change in architecture and no high or moderate visibility WTS facilities are permitted on any building or any site within a historic district. Proposed WTS facilities in the Historic Overlay District area also subject to the applicable provisions of Section 3.3-900.
Finding 10: The proposed wireless telecommunications system facility is not located on a historic building, or within the designated Historic Overlay District as depicted in SDC 3.3-
910. Therefore, this standard does not apply.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
10) Equipment Location. The following location standards shall apply to WTS facilities: a. No WTS facility shall be located in a front, rear or side yard building setback in any
base zone and no portion of any antenna array shall extend beyond the property
lines;
Finding 11: In accordance with SDC 3.2-420, the minimum front yard and through lot rear
yard building setback is 10 feet. The subject property does not abut residential or Campus
Industrial properties so there are no other specific building setback requirements.
Finding 12: The proposed monopole tower, equipment cabinets, fenced enclosure, and
related appurtenances are not located within a required building setback area and the top-
mounted antenna array does not project into a setback area or across a property line.
Conclusion: This sub-element of the standard has been met.
b. Where there is no building, the WTS facility shall be located at least 30 feet from a property line abutting a street;
Attachment 1, Page 8 of 16
Finding 13: In accordance with SDC 3.2-420, the minimum front yard and through lot rear yard building setback is 10 feet. The subject property has frontage on Laura Street along the west boundary and abuts Pioneer Parkway West along the east boundary. Because
there are no existing buildings on the property, the 30-foot standard applies for the front
and through lot rear yard setback. The applicant’s proposed site plan indicates that the
tower is to be set back at least 30 feet from the east (rear) property line. Conclusion: This sub-element of the standard has been met.
c. For guyed WTS towers, all guy anchors shall be located at least 50 feet from all
property lines. Finding 14: According to the applicant’s project narrative, the proposed monopole tower
is a freestanding structure and does not require guy wire support. Therefore, this standard
does not apply.
Conclusion: This sub-element of the standard has been met.
11) Tower Height. Towers may exceed the height limits otherwise provided for in this Code.
However, all towers greater than the height limit of the base zone shall require
Discretionary Use approval through a Type III review process, subject to the approval criteria specified in Subsection I. Finding 15: The subject property is not contiguous with any residentially zoned properties, but
the LDR zoning district abuts the eastern boundary of the site. In accordance with SDC 3.2-
420, the maximum height of a building or structure in the LMI District is no greater than that permitted in the LDR District for a distance of 50 feet. The maximum building height in the LDR District is 30 feet.
Finding 16: The Development Code standard for building height limitation does not specify a
50-foot setback from a residential property line, only the zoning district boundary. Staff observes that the LDR zoning district boundary includes the 170-foot wide Pioneer Parkway corridor immediately east of the subject site. Therefore, the effective separation distance
between the nearest residential property line and the proposed monopole tower is
approximately 200 feet. For this reason, staff recommends that the subject Discretionary Use
permit includes a waiver to the building height limitations applicable to the eastern 50 feet of the site.
RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1. The WTS facility is approved with a waiver to the building height limitations applicable to the eastern 50 feet of the subject property. A 150-foot tall WTS tower is thereby allowable with a 30-foot setback from the eastern property line where a 50-foot setback otherwise would be required in accordance with SDC 3.2-420.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this standard has been met.
12) Accessory Building Size. All accessory buildings and structures built to contain equipment accessory to a WTS facility shall not exceed 12 feet in height unless a greater
height is necessary and required by a condition of approval to maximize architectural
Attachment 1, Page 9 of 16
integration. Each accessory building or structure located on any residential or public land and open space zoned property is limited to 200 square feet, unless approved through the Discretionary Use process.
Finding 17: As depicted in the applicant’s submittal, the proposed equipment cabinets will be
approximately 8 feet in height. The cabinets are not considered an occupied building space, but will likely require building permits for construction.
Finding 18: In accordance with SDC 4.7-105, accessory structures are to be constructed in
conjunction with or after construction of a primary structure. The monopole tower will be
considered the primary structure on the property until further site development occurs. Therefore, an accessory structure is allowable on the property.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
13) Visual Impact. All WTS facilities shall be designed to minimize the visual impact to the greatest extent practicable by means of placement, screening, landscaping, and camouflage. All facilities shall also be designed to be compatible with existing architectural elements, building materials, and other site characteristics. The applicant
shall use the least visible antennas reasonably available to accomplish the coverage
objectives. All high visibility and moderate visibility facilities shall be sited in a manner to cause the least detriment to the viewshed of abutting properties, neighboring properties, and distant properties.
Finding 19: As stated in the applicant’s narrative, the ground-mounted equipment is proposed
within an area screened by arborvitae hedges along the eastern and northern boundaries of the property. The applicant is proposing to retain the screening vegetation and to replace
arborvitaes that would be removed to accommodate utility connections along the eastern
boundary of the site.
Finding 20: The applicant has submitted sketches and photo simulations of the proposed monopole tower from nearby vantage points (see Attachment 3). The applicant’s narrative
states that the existing sequoia and fir trees along the Pioneer Parkway corridor will provide
buffering and visual screening from nearby residential areas.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
14) Minimize Visibility. Colors and materials for WTS facilities shall be nonreflective and chosen to minimize visibility. Facilities, including support equipment and buildings,
shall be painted or textured using colors to match or blend with the primary
background, unless required by any other applicable law.
Finding 21: The applicant has not specifically stated the colors of the monopole tower and
ground-mounted equipment in the submittal. The photo simulations depict a white monopole
tower that could be highly reflective and conspicuous. Staff advises that the tower, equipment
cabinets, and related appurtenances will need to be constructed with neutral, non-reflective colors to minimize visibility. The proposed finish materials and colors will need to be
identified on the Final Site Plan for the facility.
Attachment 1, Page 10 of 16
RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL: 2. The applicant shall use neutral, non-reflective colors for the monopole tower, ground-mounted equipment, and related appurtenances. The selected colors and
materials shall minimize the visibility of the facilities to the greatest extent
practicable. Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this standard has been met.
15) Camouflaged Facilities. All camouflaged WTS facilities shall be designed to visually and
operationally blend into the surrounding area in a manner consistent with existing development on adjacent properties. The facility shall also be appropriate for the specific site. In other words, it shall not “stand out” from its surrounding environment.
Finding 22: The proposed monopole tower is not defined as a camouflage facility. The
surrounding properties are developed with industrial buildings and structures, and there is a high voltage power transmission line that runs along the western edge of the Pioneer Parkway
corridor (see photo simulations in Attachment 3).
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
16) Façade-Mounted Antenna. Façade-mounted antennas shall be architecturally integrated into the building design and otherwise made as unobtrusive as possible. If possible, antennas shall be located entirely within an existing or newly created architectural
feature so as to be completely screened from view. Façade-mounted antennas shall not
extend more than 2 feet out from the building face.
Finding 23: The proposed monopole tower is a freestanding structure and is not mounted on a
building façade. Therefore, this standard does not apply.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
17) Roof-Mounted Antenna. Roof-mounted antennas shall be constructed at the minimum height possible to serve the operator’s service area and shall be set back as far from the
building edge as possible or otherwise screened to minimize visibility from the public
right-of-way and adjacent properties.
Finding 24: The proposed monopole tower is a freestanding structure and is not mounted on a
rooftop. Therefore, this standard does not apply.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
18) Compliance with Photo Simulations. As a condition of approval and prior to final staff inspection of the WTS facility, the applicant shall submit evidence, e.g. photos, sufficient
to prove that the facility is in substantial conformance with photo simulations provided
with the initial application. Non-conformance shall require any necessary modification to achieve compliance within 90 days of notifying the applicant.
Finding 25: The applicant’s photo simulations and project narrative do not indicate that the
proposed wireless transmissions system facility will be as shown on the pictures, or that a
Attachment 1, Page 11 of 16
specific color palette has been selected for the tower and appurtenances. Staff is recommending Condition #2 for the selection of neutral, non-reflective colors to be used for the tower, ground-mounted equipment, and related appurtenances. The applicant’s photo
simulations also will need to be updated to incorporate any color and material changes to the
tower and associated equipment.
RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL: 3. Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan (Case TYP216-00050), the applicant shall
submit photo simulations of the monopole tower, ground-mounted equipment, and
related appurtenances that accurately depict the colors and materials to be used for the project.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this standard has been met.
19) Noise. Noise from any equipment supporting the WTS facility shall comply with the regulations specified in OAR 340-035-0035.
Finding 26: The applicant has not provided a noise analysis for the project. The proposed
equipment cabinets are freestanding and may be equipped with cooling units that would
generate some noise. The applicant is not proposing to install a backup power generator that would cycle periodically so noise generated by the facility will be minimal. Because the proposed tower location is adjacent to the busy Pioneer Parkway corridor and within a
developed industrial area, staff does not anticipate that the proposed equipment cabinets will
produce noises levels that regularly approach or exceed existing ambient noise levels.
Additionally, the proposed project site is more than 170 feet from the nearest residential dwellings and is buffered by surrounding screening vegetation.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
20) Signage. No signs, striping graphics, or other attention-getting devices are permitted on any WTS facility except for warning and safety signage that shall:
a. Have a surface area of no more than 3 square feet;
b. Be affixed to a fence or equipment cabinet; and c. Be limited to no more than 2 signs, unless more are required by any other applicable law.
Finding 27: The applicant’s site plan does not include information on signage. Staff anticipates that the equipment shelter and fence will need to be equipped with federally- and state-required warning and safety signs pertaining to radio frequency fields and other
applicable hazards. The safety signs will need to meet the limitations of SDC 4.3-145.F.20
in all other respects, including but not limited to total surface area and placement of the
signs. Staff recommends that the applicable signage information is included in the Final Site Plan for the WTS facility.
Attachment 1, Page 12 of 16
RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL: 4. The Final Site Plan (Case TYP216-00050) shall include a plan sheet detailing the location, size, and type of required safety and warning signs to be installed at the
WTS facility. Any required signage shall comply with the provisions of SDC 4.3-
145.F.20. Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this standard has been met.
21) Traffic Obstruction. Maintenance vehicles servicing WTS facilities located in the public
or private right-of-way shall not park on the traveled way or in a manner that obstructs traffic.
Finding 28: The proposed wireless telecommunications system facility is directly accessible
via private driveways off Laura Street. The applicant’s proposed site plan provides for access
and parking that is internal to the site and set back from the public right-of-way. As proposed, the site design will not cause traffic to be obstructed. Access to the subject property is
discussed in greater detail in the accompanying staff report for Case TYP216-00050
(Attachment 2).
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
22) Parking. No net loss in required on-site parking spaces shall occur as a result of the installation of any WTS facility.
Finding 29: The proposed tower and equipment enclosure is located in a the extreme northeast corner of a vacant industrial property that is currently used for storing construction equipment
and machinery. The applicant is proposing to use an existing driveway approach from Laura
Street for access to the fenced equipment compound. Vehicles accessing the WTS compound
would park on a gravel pad adjacent to the equipment enclosure and tower, and no parking
spaces would be displaced. Therefore, the proposed wireless transmissions system facility does not appreciably affect the availability of parking or building area for a future industrial
development on the site.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
23) Sidewalks and Pathways. Cabinets and other equipment shall not impair pedestrian use of sidewalks or other pedestrian paths or bikeways on public or private land.
Finding 30: The proposed wireless transmissions system facility is located internal to the
industrial site. There are no existing or planned pedestrian or bicycle facilities that pass near or through the area occupied by the proposed development. Therefore, the proposal will not
have an adverse impact on future pedestrian or bicycle movements.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
24) Lighting. WTS facilities shall not include any beacon lights or strobe lights, unless required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or other applicable authority. If beacon lights or strobe lights are required, the Approval Authority shall review any
available alternatives and approve the design with the least visual impact. All other site
Attachment 1, Page 13 of 16
lighting for security and maintenance purposes shall be shielded and directed downward, and shall comply with the outdoor lighting standards in Section 4.5-100, unless required by any other applicable law.
Applicant’s Submittal: “There will be no lighting or marking required of this site.”
Finding 31: The applicant’s submittal indicates that no beacon or strobe lights are planned or required for the monopole tower. Additionally, the equipment cabinets are not within an
enclosed building or structure so no outdoor lights are proposed for the site. If site lighting is
to be installed within the fenced compound, the lights will need to be fully shielded and
downcast to prevent glare and light trespass onto nearby properties and public rights-of-way.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
25) Landscaping. For WTS facilities with towers that exceed the height limitations of the
base zone, at least 1 row of evergreen trees or shrubs, not less than 4 feet high at the time of planting, and spaced out not more than 15 feet apart, shall be provided in the landscape setback. Shrubs shall be a variety that can be expected to grow to form a continuous hedge at least 5 feet in height within 2 years of planting. Trees and shrubs in
the vicinity of guy wires shall be of a kind that would not exceed 20 feet in height or
would not affect the stability of the guys. In all other cases, the landscaping, screening and fence standards specified in Section 4.4-100 shall apply.
Finding 32: The proposed wireless transmissions system tower exceeds the height limitations
of the base Light Medium Industrial zoning district because it is proposed within 30 feet of the
eastern property line. The applicant is proposing to retain and replace existing evergreen shrubs that are planted along the eastern and northern boundaries of the property. The
proposed screening vegetation meets the landscaping requirement for the site.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
26) Prohibited WTS Facilities. a. Any high or moderate visibility WTS facility in the Historic Overlay District.
b. Any WTS facility in the public right-of-way that severely limits access to abutting property, which limits public access or use of the sidewalk, or which constitutes a vision clearance violation.
c. Any detached WTS facility taller than 150 feet above finished grade at the base of the
tower.
Finding 33: As stated and depicted in the applicant’s project narrative and submittal
materials, the proposed monopole tower is an allowable facility in the Light Medium
Industrial zoning district. The proposed development is not within the Historic Overlay
District or the public right-of-way. The top of the tower structure is 150 feet above finished grade. As such, the proposed monopole tower is not classified as a prohibited
wireless transmissions system facility. Therefore, this standard does not apply.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
Attachment 1, Page 14 of 16
27) Speculation. No application shall be accepted or approved for a speculation WTS tower, ie. from an applicant that simply constructs towers and leases tower space to service carriers, but is not a service carrier, unless the applicant submits a binding written commitment or executed lease from a service carrier to utilize or lease space on the
tower.
Finding 34: The applicant’s project narrative and submittal materials indicate that the wireless carrier (T-Mobile) is proposing the monopole tower as a necessary component of their network
facilities in Springfield, both in terms of maintaining coverage and improving capacity.
Therefore, this standard does not apply.
Conclusion: This standard has been met.
2. Alternative design standards for multifamily development are exempt from Subsections
A – C above, but shall comply with the approval criteria specified in Section 3.2-245.
Finding 35: The proposed development is not a multi-family residential facility. Therefore,
this criterion does not apply.
3. Fences requiring Discretionary Use approval are exempt from Subsections A – C above,
but shall comply with the approval criteria specified in Section 4.4-115.C. Finding 36: The proposed development does not include a fence requiring Discretionary Use
approval. Therefore, this criterion does not apply.
4. The siting of public elementary, middle and high schools requiring Discretionary Use approval is exempt from Subsections A – C above, but shall comply with the approval criteria specified in Section 4.7-195.
Finding 37: The proposed development is not a public school. Therefore, this criterion does
not apply.
Conclusion: Staff has reviewed the application and supporting information submitted by the applicant
for the Discretionary Use request. Based on the above-listed criteria, and with the recommended
conditions contained herein, staff finds that the proposal meets criterion D.1 of SDC 5.9-120. Staff
recommends conditional support for the request because the proposal meets the stated criteria for Discretionary Use approval. Additionally, approval of the Discretionary Use would facilitate conditional
approval of the accompanying Site Plan Review application for a wireless telecommunications system
submitted under separate cover (Case TYP215-00050).
Conditions of Approval SDC Section 5.9-125 allows for the Approval Authority to attach conditions of approval to a
Discretionary Use request to ensure the application fully meets the criteria of approval. The specific
language from the code section is cited below:
5.9-125 CONDITIONS The Approval Authority may attach conditions as may be reasonably necessary in order to allow the Discretionary Use approval to be granted.
Attachment 1, Page 15 of 16
Staff has reviewed the Discretionary Use request and supporting information provided by the applicant, and recommends four conditions of approval as summarized here:
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The WTS facility is approved with a waiver to the building height limitations applicable to the eastern 50 feet of the subject property. A 150-foot tall WTS tower is thereby allowable with a 30-foot setback from the eastern property line where a 50-foot setback otherwise would be required in accordance with SDC 3.2-420.
2. The applicant shall use neutral, non-reflective colors for the monopole tower, ground-mounted equipment, and related appurtenances. The selected colors and materials shall minimize the visibility of the facilities to the greatest extent practicable.
3. Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan (Case TYP216-00050), the applicant shall submit photo
simulations of the monopole tower, ground-mounted equipment, and related appurtenances that accurately depict the colors and materials to be used for the project. 4. The Final Site Plan (Case TYP216-00050) shall include a plan sheet detailing the location, size,
and type of required safety and warning signs to be installed at the WTS facility. Any required
signage shall comply with the provisions of SDC 4.3-145.F.20. The proposed wireless telecommunications system facility has been reviewed and recommended
conditions of approval are described in the Site Plan Review application for this development submitted
under separate cover (Case TYP215-00050) and incorporated herein by reference.
Based on the applicant’s submittal and testimony provided at the public hearing, the Planning Commission may choose to apply additional conditions of approval as necessary to comply with the
Discretionary Use criteria.
Additional Approvals The subject Discretionary Use request is the necessary first step for the applicant to proceed with development plans for the site. The companion Site Plan Review application (Case TYP215-00050) is
intended to address the specific Development Code and detailed site planning requirements for the
proposed wireless telecommunications system facility.

Proposed Tower
Location Laura Street Attachment 2, Page 1 of 14
Page 2 of 14
Site Information: The subject development site is a vacant, panhandle-shaped industrial property on the east side of Laura Street just north of the intersection with Scotts Glen Drive. The property is classified as a “through lot”
because the rear (east) boundary abuts the western edge of Pioneer Parkway West. The industrial property is vacant
and currently provides a gravel storage yard for construction equipment and machinery. Access to the property is via a gravel driveway that crosses the adjoining EWEB corridor. The proposed wireless telecommunications
system facility is a 150-foot tall monopole tower to be located in the extreme northeast corner of the property.
In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.E and SDC Table 4.3-1, wireless telecommunications system facilities consisting
of standard monopoles or lattice towers are classified as high visibility facilities. High visibility facilities are
allowable in the Light Medium Industrial (LMI) district subject to Discretionary Use approval. The applicant submitted a concurrent Discretionary Use Request for a 150-foot tall monopole wireless telecommunications
system facility under separate cover (Case TYP316-00003). The Springfield Planning Commission will be
conducting a public hearing on the Discretionary Use request at the regular meeting on December 20, 2016.
The site is zoned and designated mixed use Light Medium Industrial/Community Commercial (LMI/CC) in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan diagram. Other properties in the vicinity of the project area are zoned LMI/CC (including properties that are contiguous with the subject site);
Public Land and Open Space (south of the site); and Low Density Residential (east and west of the site).
The site is within the mapped 20+ Year Time of Travel Zone (TOTZ) for the Sports Way drinking water wellhead
and, therefore, is not subject to specific requirements of the Drinking Water Protection Overlay District, SDC 3.3-200. However, provisions for water quality protection during site construction and operation have been inserted as
conditions of this decision in order to protect local surface waters and groundwater resources.
DECISION: This decision grants Tentative Site Plan Approval. The standards of the Springfield Development Code (SDC) applicable to each criterion of Site Plan Approval are listed herein and are
satisfied by the submitted plans unless specifically noted with findings and conditions necessary for compliance. Final Site Plans must conform to the submitted plans as conditioned herein. This is a limited land use decision made according to City code and state statutes. Unless appealed, the decision is final.
Please read this document carefully.
(See Page 13 for a summary of the recommended conditions of approval.)
OTHER USES AUTHORIZED BY THE DECISION: None. Future development will be in accordance with
the provisions of the Springfield Development Code, filed easements and agreements, and all applicable local, state and federal regulations.
REVIEW PROCESS: This application is reviewed under Type II procedures listed in Springfield Development Code Section 5.1-130 and the site plan review criteria of approval SDC 5.17-125. The subject application was
submitted and deemed complete on October 28, 2016. Therefore, this application was reviewed and approved by
the Planning Commission on the 53rd day of the 120 days mandated by the State.
Pursuant to SDC 4.3-145.H.4.a, on November 14, 2016, the accompanying Discretionary Use application (Case
TYP316-00003) was referred to the Springfield City Council for consideration of transferring the review and approval authority from the Planning Commission to the City Council. The City Council declined this opportunity
to replace the Planning Commission as approval authority for the Discretionary Use application. Therefore, a
public hearing before the Planning Commission was scheduled for December 20, 2016.
Procedural Finding: Applications for Limited Land Use Decisions require the notification of property
owners/occupants within 300 feet of the subject property allowing for a 14 day comment period on the application (SDC Sections 5.1-130 and 5.2-115). The applicant and parties submitting written comments during the notice
period have appeal rights and are mailed a copy of this decision for consideration (See Written Comments below and Appeals at the end of this decision).
Attachment 2, Page 2 of 14
Page 3 of 14
Procedural Finding: On December 6, 2016, the City’s Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed plans (9 Sheets – AMS Wireless, Sheets T-1, A-1(1), A-1(2), A-3 and PS-1 to PS-3; and SMW Engineering Group
Sheets 1 and 2), Coverage and Capacity Study, and other supporting information. City staff’s review comments
have been reduced to findings and recommended conditions only as necessary for compliance with the Site Plan Review criteria of SDC 5.17-125.
Finding: The Planning Commission will be conducting a public hearing on the proposed site plan application on December 20, 2016. The City has not received any written testimony that is germane to the criteria of approval for
the Discretionary Use or Site Plan Review applications submitted for the proposed development. If testimony is
provided at the public hearing meeting on December 20, 2016, the Planning Commission can vote to approve, deny, or amend the findings and recommended conditions of approval as stated in this staff report.
Procedural Finding: In accordance with SDC 5.17-125 to 5.17-135, the Final Site Plan shall comply with the requirements of the SDC and the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission in this decision. The Final Site
Plan otherwise shall be in substantial conformity with the tentative plan reviewed. Portions of the proposal approved as submitted during tentative review cannot be substantively changed during Final Site Plan approval. Approved Final Site Plans (including Landscape Plans) shall not be substantively changed during Building Permit
Review without an approved Site Plan Modification Decision.
WRITTEN COMMENTS:
Procedural Finding: In accordance with SDC 5.1-130 and 5.2-115, notice was sent to adjacent property owners/occupants within 300 feet of the subject site on November 22, 2016. One written response was received
from Suzanne Fenner, 328 Scotts Glen Drive, 97477 (Attachment 4). Staff advises that the written comments
pertain specifically to radio frequencies and electromagnetic radiation emanating from wireless telecommunications system facilities. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for regulatory oversight of radio
frequency emissions. In accordance with the Federal Telecommunications Act (1996) and SDC 4.3-145.F, the City
cannot prohibit the provision of personal wireless services on the basis of radio frequency emissions or other federally-regulated standards. Ms. Fenner’s written comments are not directed to the City’s criteria of approval for
this application and, instead, fall under federal jurisdiction. For this reason staff recommends that the comments
are received as information only.
CRITERIA OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL: SDC 5.17-125, Site Plan Review Standards, Criteria of Site Plan Approval states, “the Director shall approve, or approve with conditions, a Type II Site Plan Review Application upon determining that criteria A through E of this
Section have been satisfied. If conditions cannot be attached to satisfy the criteria, the Director shall deny the application.”
A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan.
Finding 1: The site is zoned and designated mixed use Light Medium Industrial/Community Commercial (LMI/CC) in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan diagram.
The applicant is not proposing to change the zoning for the site.
Finding 2: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.5 and Table 4.3-1, High Visibility wireless telecommunications
system facilities are allowable in the Light Medium Industrial District subject to Discretionary Use and Site
Plan Review procedures.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion A. B. Capacity requirements of public improvements, including but not limited to, water and electricity;
sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets and traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to serve the site at the time of development,
Attachment 2, Page 3 of 14
Page 4 of 14
unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Development & Public Works Director or a utility provider shall determine capacity issues.
Finding 3: Approval of this proposal would allow for construction of a 150-foot tall monopole wireless transmissions system facility within a fenced enclosure, along with ground-mounted equipment cabinets and
ancillary structures on a vacant industrial parcel.
Finding 4: For all public improvements, the applicant shall retain a private professional civil engineer to design
the site improvements in conformance with City codes, this decision, and the current Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM). The private civil engineer also shall be required to provide construction inspection services.
Finding 5: The Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed site plan on December 6, 2016. City staff’s review comments have been incorporated in findings and recommended conditions contained herein.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion. Water and Electricity Improvements Finding 6: SDC 4.3-130 requires each development area to be provided with a water system having sufficiently
sized mains and lesser lines to furnish adequate supply to the development and sufficient access for maintenance. Springfield Utility Board (SUB) coordinates the design of the water system within Springfield
city limits.
Finding 7: The proposed development is a non-combustible wireless telecommunications system tower with
ground-mounted utility cabinets and related structures that are not designed or intended for occupation. There
is no water service proposed to the tower enclosure and none is required.
Finding 8: In accordance with SDC 4.3-125, wherever possible utility lines are to be placed underground. The
applicant is proposing to install new underground electrical and telecommunication connections to the existing transmission lines that run along the western edge of Pioneer Parkway West. To accommodate the proposed
utility connections, utility easements may be necessary. A permit for work within the Pioneer Parkway right-of-way also will be required prior to initiating construction.
Finding 9: SUB Electric typically requires provision for access to the fenced compound to allow for meter reading or to pull the meter in the event of an emergency. Access to the compound can be provided by way of
a SUB-installed lock used in tandem with a T-Mobile wireless lock, or a key to the T-Mobile wireless lock
issued to SUB personnel.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
1. The Final Site Plan shall provide for utility easements as may be required by SUB Electric and other utility providers for the underground electrical and telecommunication lines serving the development
site. 2. Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan, any required utility easements shall be executed and
recorded at Lane County Deeds & Records and the applicant shall provide evidence thereof to the City.
3. The Final Site Plan shall provide for installation of a SUB Electric supplied lock or issuance of a key to SUB Electric personnel for the fenced compound surrounding the transformer and utility
cabinets. Access to the fenced compound shall be afforded SUB Electric personnel for the purpose of reading the electrical meter or pulling the meter in the event of an emergency.
Attachment 2, Page 4 of 14
Page 5 of 14
Conclusion: The existing SUB Water and Electric facilities are adequate to serve the site. As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater Management Facilities
Sanitary Sewer
Finding 10: Section 4.3-105.A of the SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new
development and to connect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers shall
provide sufficient access for maintenance activities.
Finding 11: The proposed wireless telecommunications system facility is designed and intended as a non-
occupied utility compound. There is no water service or floor drains planned for the development site, and the applicant is not requesting a connection to the public sanitary sewer system. Therefore, sanitary sewer service
is not required. Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Stormwater Management (Quantity)
Finding 12: SDC 4.3-110.B requires that the Approval Authority shall grant development approval only where adequate public and/or private stormwater management systems provisions have been made as determined by the Development & Public Works Director, consistent with the EDSPM.
Finding 13: SDC 4.3-110.C states that a stormwater management system shall accommodate potential runoff
from its entire upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside of the development.
Finding 14: SDC 4.3-110.D requires that runoff from a development shall be directed to an approved
stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge.
Finding 15: SDC 4.3-110.E requires new developments to employ drainage management practices that
minimize the amount and rate of surface water runoff into receiving streams, and that promote water quality. Finding 16: The applicant is not proposing to construct an appreciable amount of new impervious surface with
this application. Impervious surfaces would be limited to the platform-mounted equipment cabinets and tower structure on an existing gravel surface. The limited amount of new impervious surface and provision for
perimeter landscaping does not warrant the construction of stormwater management facilities. Stormwater
management facilities will be necessary at such time as the site develops with a primary industrial use.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Stormwater Management (Quality)
Finding 17: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield is required to obtain, and
has applied for, a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A provision of this permit requires
the City to demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
Finding 18: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules require the City’s MS4 plan to address six “Minimum Control Measures”. Minimum Control Measure 5, “Post-Construction
Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment”, applies to the proposed development.
Attachment 2, Page 5 of 14
Page 6 of 14
Finding 19: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to develop, implement and enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants in stormwater runoff to the MEP. The City also must develop and
implement strategies that include a combination of structural or non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) appropriate for the community.
Finding 20: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to use an ordinance or other
regulatory mechanism to address post-construction runoff from new and re-development projects to the extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms used by the City include the SDC, the City’s EDSPM, and
the Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (SFMP).
Finding 21: As required in SDC 4.3-110.E, “a development shall be required to employ drainage management
practices approved by the Development & Public Works Director and consistent with Metro Plan policies and
the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual”.
Finding 22: Section 3.02 of the City’s EDSPM states the Development & Public Works Department will accept, as interim design standards for stormwater quality, water quality facilities designed pursuant to the policies and procedures of the City’s EDSPM and the City of Eugene Stormwater Management Manual.
Finding 23: Sections 3.02.5 and 3.02.6 of the City’s EDSPM states all public and private development and
redevelopment projects shall employ a system of one or more post-developed BMPs that in combination are
designed to achieve at least a 70 percent reduction in the total suspended solids in the runoff generated by the development. Section 3.03.4.E of the manual requires a minimum of 50 percent of the non-building rooftop
impervious area on a site shall be treated for stormwater quality improvement using vegetative methods and
100% of the area shall be pre-treated.
Finding 24: As stated above, the applicant is not proposing an appreciable amount of new impervious surface
on the site. Therefore, no stormwater treatment measures will be required as part of this development proposal.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Streets and Traffic Safety Controls
Finding 25: The subject site is within the extreme northeastern corner of an existing, vacant industrial parcel that has frontage on Laura Street along the west boundary. Along the site frontage, Laura Street is developed as
a minor collector street with curb and gutter, paving, centerline striping, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and street lighting. The applicant is not proposing to improve the frontage beyond the existing condition, and no public
street improvements are required for the proposed development.
Finding 26: The traffic generated by the proposed development (after construction and installation of the facility)
would be limited to occasional visitation by maintenance personnel. The traffic volumes would not be
appreciably different than the current traffic generated by the construction equipment and machinery storage that is occurring on the property.
Finding 27: It is expected that the existing transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate the anticipated vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns generated by the proposed development in a safe and
efficient manner.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.
Finding 28: Criterion C contains three different elements with sub-elements and applicable code standards.
The site plan application as submitted complies with the code standards listed under each sub-element unless
Attachment 2, Page 6 of 14
Page 7 of 14
otherwise noted with specific findings and conclusions. The elements, sub-elements and code standards of Criterion C include but are not limited to:
1. Infrastructure Standards in accordance with SDC 4.1-100, 4.2-100 & 4.3-100
Water Service and Fire Protection (4.3-130)
Public and Private Easements (4.3-120 – 4.3-140)
Wireless Telecommunications System Facilities (4.3-145)
2. Conformance with standards of SDC 5.17-100, Site Plan Review, and SDC 3.2-400 Light Medium
Industrial Zoning District
Light Medium Industrial Schedule of Uses (3.2-410)
Light Medium Industrial District Development Standards (3.2-420)
Landscaping, Screening and Fence Standards (4.3-145.F.13, 4.3-145.F.25 & 4.4-100)
On-Site Lighting Standards (4.5-100)
Vehicle Parking, Loading and Bicycle Parking Standards (4.6-100)
3. Overlay Districts and Applicable Refinement Plan Requirements
Drinking Water Protection Overlay District
Gateway Refinement Plan
C.1 Public and Private Improvements in accordance with SDC 4.1-100, 4.2-100 & 4.3-100
Water Service and Fire Protection (4.3-130) Access
Finding 29: All fire apparatus access routes are to be paved all-weather surfaces able to support an 80,000 lb. imposed load in accordance with the 2014 Springfield Fire Code (SFC) 503.2.3 and SFC Appendix D102.1.
The applicant is proposing to use an existing gravel driveway that crosses the adjacent EWEB corridor and connects with Laura Street. EWEB representatives have indicated that the depth of burial for the water pipeline is not known, so access cannot be assured from this driveway until further investigation is done. More
discussion about access to the subject site is found in the next subsection below. Finding 30: Access to the proposed project area is afforded from Laura Street and adjacent private driveways.
The nearest responding fire stations (Stations #4 and #5) are located at 1475 5th Street and 2705 Pheasant Blvd.
Finding 31: The applicant is proposing to install a fenced and gated enclosure within the northeast corner of
the subject property, which itself has perimeter fencing and gated access. To ensure fire and emergency access can be provided to the subject site, the applicant will need to install Public Works locks (for manually operated
gates) or a Knox box keyed system (for electronically operated gates).
Water Supply
Finding 32: The proposed cellular tower and ground-mounted equipment cabinets are considered utility installations for the purpose of determining fire protection requirements. A public fire hydrant is located on the
southwest corner of Laura Street at the intersection with Scotts Glen Drive. However, this hydrant is not
located within 600 feet of the proposed monopole tower, equipment cabinets and fenced compound. A new public fire hydrant will need to be installed to provide coverage for the subject site or, alternatively, the
applicant will need to secure a right to access a shared private fire hydrant on an adjacent property. The fire hydrant will need to meet the requirements of the 2014 Springfield Fire Code 507.5.1, NFPA 24 (if private) and Springfield Utility Board Water Division (if public).
Finding 33: Staff observes that a private fire hydrant is located on the north side of the shared driveway just
outside the northern boundary of the site. The operational condition of this hydrant is not known, but it is
Attachment 2, Page 7 of 14
Page 8 of 14
assumed to be functional for the purpose of this review. Use of this private fire hydrant for fire protection at the subject site would require an executed agreement with the owner(s), a gated emergency access along the
northern fence line, and a private access easement across the adjacent property (Tax Lot 2119).
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
4. The Final Site Plan shall provide for installation of a Knox box keyed gate entry system for electronically operated gates, or Public Works locks for manually operated gates providing access to the property and the tower compound.
5. The Final Site Plan shall provide for installation or shared use of a suitable fire hydrant located within 600 feet of the monopole tower and ancillary structures.
6. Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan, the applicant shall execute and record an access easement
and shared use agreement for any private fire hydrants providing fire protection to the site and provide evidence thereof to the City.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion. Public and Private Easements (4.3-120 – 4.3-140)
Finding 34: SDC 4.3-140.A requires applicants proposing developments to make arrangements with the City
and each utility provider for the dedication of utility easements necessary to fully service the development or
land beyond the development area. The minimum width for PUEs adjacent to street rights-of-way and internal to private properties shall be 7 feet, unless the Development & Public Works Director requires a larger
easement to allow for adequate maintenance access.
Finding 35: As stated and conditioned previously in this report, a utility easement may be required to
accommodate the underground electrical and telecommunication lines serving the proposed cellular tower.
Finding 36: The property has an undeveloped panhandle frontage on Laura Street. The applicant is proposing
to use an existing gravel driveway that crosses the adjacent EWEB corridor to reach the monopole tower enclosure at the northeast corner of the property. The proposed driveway access is dependent upon a concurrence and easement from EWEB for crossing the buried water pipeline on the adjoining property. The
applicant will need to execute and record an access easement across the EWEB corridor prior to approval of the Final Site Plan. Alternatively, the applicant could obtain an easement from the adjoining property to the north
for access to the development site. Staff observes that a gated driveway access along the northeast fence line of
the property would also facilitate access to the nearby private fire hydrant discussed above (see Condition 5).
Recommended Condition of Approval:
7. Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan, the applicant shall execute and record a private access easement and construct a shared driveway across an adjoining property to afford legal and physical
access to the site. Alternatively, the Final Site Plan shall provide for installation of a dedicated site driveway along the panhandle frontage of the property to serve the development area.
Conclusion: Safe and efficient provision of public access and utilities requires the provision of corresponding access and utility easements. As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Wireless Transmissions System Facilities (4.3-145)
Finding 37: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.E, the Planning Commission is the approval authority for high visibility wireless telecommunications system facilities in Springfield. High visibility facilities include
traditional monopoles and lattice towers that are not camouflaged or designed as imitation trees. In accordance
Attachment 2, Page 8 of 14
Page 9 of 14
with SDC Table 4.3-1, high visibility facilities are allowable in the Light Medium Industrial district subject to Discretionary Use approval. Therefore, the proposed development requires approval of a Discretionary Use
permit initiated by Case TYP316-00003 and approval of a Tentative Site Plan initiated by the subject
application, Case TYP216-00050.
Finding 38: Specific details of the proposed wireless telecommunications system facility are reviewed and
addressed in the staff report for the Discretionary Use permit submitted under separate cover (Case TYP316-00003) and incorporated herein by reference.
Finding 39: The City classifies wireless telecommunications system providers as local utilities that are subject to utility licensing in accordance with Section 4.602 of the Springfield Municipal Code. Failure to obtain or
abide by the City’s utility licensing provisions could result in municipal enforcement procedures described in
Chapter 5 of the Municipal Code. T-Mobile will be required to obtain City utility licensing for the proposed facility and for existing facilities if licensure has not been obtained previously.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
8. Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan, the applicant shall obtain Discretionary Use approval for a high visibility wireless telecommunications system facility as initiated by Case TYP316-00003.
9. Prior to issuance of Final Occupancy and commencement of operations on the site, T-Mobile shall obtain a City utility license as may be required for operation of wireless telecommunications system facilities within Springfield and provide evidence thereof to the City.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
C.2 Conformance with Standards of SDC 5.17-100, Site Plan Review, and SDC 3.2-400, Light Medium Industrial Zoning District
Light Medium Industrial Schedule of Uses (3.2-410)
Finding 40: In accordance with SDC 3.2-410, wireless telecommunications system facilities are allowable in the LMI District subject to the special provisions of SDC 4.3-145. SDC Table 4.3-1 states that high visibility wireless telecommunications system facilities such as a monopole towers are allowable in the LMI District
subject to Discretionary Use permitting. Finding 41: The applicant has submitted a request for Discretionary Use approval for the subject development
under separate cover (Case TYP316-00003), which is incorporated herein by reference. The Discretionary Use request will be reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing meeting on December 20, 2016.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion. Light Medium Industrial Standards (3.2-420)
Finding 42: In accordance with SDC 3.2-420, the minimum parcel size for properties in the LMI District is
10,000 ft2 with at least 40 feet of public street frontage for a panhandle parcel.
Finding 43: The proposed development site is approximately 62,290 ft2 (1.43 acres) with 40 feet of panhandle
parcel frontage on Laura Street. The parcel size and frontage meets the requirements of SDC 3.2-420.
Finding 44: In accordance with SDC 3.2-420, the minimum building setbacks for structures is 10 feet for front
and through lot rear yards. There is no side yard setback for structures unless required by Building and Fire Codes, or other Development Code provisions.
Attachment 2, Page 9 of 14
Page 10 of 14
Finding 45: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.10.b, a WTS facility (ie. monopole tower) cannot be located in a required front, rear, or side yard building setback. Where there is no building, the WTS facility is to be set
back at least 30 feet from a property line abutting a street.
Finding 46: The proposed development is set back about 600 feet from the west (front yard) property line,
about 24 feet from the north (side yard) property line, and about 30 feet from the east (through lot rear yard)
property line. The 30-foot rear yard setback also represents the required setback from a public street (Pioneer Parkway West). The proposed setbacks meet the requirements of SDC 3.2-420.
Finding 47: In accordance with SDC 3.2-420, there is no maximum building height for structures within the LMI District provided the development site is more than 50 feet from a residential district property line.
Finding 48: The proposed monopole tower is 150 feet high and is located more than 200 feet from the nearest residential property line, which meets the requirements of SDC 3.2-420.
Finding 49: In accordance with SDC 3.2-420, there is no maximum lot coverage for structures within the LMI District provided the required building and parking lot setbacks are observed.
Finding 50: The proposed development site occupies a fractional amount of the potential site building
coverage, which meets the requirements of SDC 3.2-420. The site is considered vacant for the purpose of this
review, and future development of the property will be subject to the provisions of the SDC.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Landscaping, Screening and Fence Standards (4.3-145.F.13, 4.3-145.F.25 & 4.4-100)
Finding 51: In accordance with SDC 4.4-100, all required setbacks are to be landscaped. Acceptable forms of landscaping include trees, shrubs, turf grass and ground cover plants. The site is a vacant industrial parcel with
panhandle frontage on Laura Street. The frontage on Laura Street is landscaped with turf grass and the
applicant is proposing to install a new street tree on the property in accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.25 and 4.4-105.B.
Finding 52: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.25, additional screening vegetation is required for wireless telecommunications system facilities that exceed the height limitations of the base zone. The applicant’s
proposed 150-foot tall monopole tower does not exceed the height limitations of the district.
Finding 53: In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.13, the visibility of wireless transmissions system facilities is to
be minimized to the greatest extent practicable by camouflage, screening and landscaping. The applicant’s proposed site plan retains existing screening vegetation along the eastern and northern edges of the site. The
applicant is proposing to replace existing arborvitae trees that could be impacted during installation of
underground utilities necessary to serve the development.
Finding 54: The existing and proposed vegetative screening meets the requirements of the City’s Development
Code.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion. On-Site Lighting Standards (4.5-100)
Finding 55: In accordance with SDC 4.5-110.B.2.b, the maximum height of a freestanding light fixture within an industrial district is the height of the principal building on the site or 25 feet, whichever is less. According
to the submitted site plan, the applicant is not proposing to install work lights or site lighting within the fenced monopole tower compound. In the event that site lighting is installed in the future, the lights will need to be
shielded and downcast, and should be mounted at or around the 8-foot level above finished grade.
Attachment 2, Page 10 of 14
Page 11 of 14
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion. Vehicle Parking, Loading and Bicycle Parking Standards (4.6-100)
Finding 56: In accordance with SDC Tables 4.6-2 and 4.6-3, there is no vehicle or bicycle parking requirement
for unoccupied utility facilities. It is anticipated that T-Mobile personnel will occasionally visit the site for
routine maintenance, and short-term parking is available within the gravel storage area outside the fenced compound. There will be no impacts to the subject property, adjacent industrial properties, or public streets.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion. C.3 Overlay Districts and Applicable Refinement Plan Requirements
Finding 57: The site is within the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan area. The development site is located
within an area that is zoned and designated for a combination of Light Medium Industrial/Community Commercial uses. Properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development are developed with industrial buildings and uses, and the subject site is currently used for storage of construction equipment and
machinery. For these reasons staff has determined that LMI zoning provisions are appropriate for the subject property. In accordance with SDC 4.3-145.F.5 and Table 4.3-1, High Visibility wireless telecommunications
facilities are allowable in the LMI district subject to Discretionary Use and Site Plan Review procedures.
Finding 58: The subject site is located within the mapped 20+ year Time of Travel Zone (TOTZ) for the Sports
Way drinking water wellhead. Therefore, the site is not subject to specific provisions of the Drinking Water
Protection Overlay District found in SDC 3.3-235. However, SUB Drinking Water Source Protection requests that a Springfield Wellhead Protection Area sign is posted on the site to remind the property owner and tenants
of the need to observe groundwater protection measures during site construction and operation. The site
operator’s emergency phone number will need to be posted on the wellhead protection sign. A Wellhead Protection Area sign can be obtained for a nominal cost from Amy Chinitz, SUB Drinking Water Source
Protection Coordinator at 541-744-3745.
Finding 59: As a “Best Practices” recommendation for this site, care must be taken during site construction and
operation to prevent contamination from chemicals that may spill or leak onto the ground surface, including fuel and automotive fluids (such as lubricants and antifreeze, etc.). Fluid-containing equipment, including vehicles parked on the site, shall be monitored for leaks and spills. Any chemical spills or leaks must be
cleaned up immediately and cleanup materials disposed off-site in accordance with Lane County and State DEQ requirements.
Recommended Condition of Approval: 10. The Final Site Plan shall provide for installation of a wellhead protection sign at a conspicuous and
visible location within the development site. Conclusion: As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
D. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to: facilitate vehicular traffic, bicycle and pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within the development area and to adjacent
residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas; minimize curb cuts on arterial and collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable
regulations and comply with the ODOT access management standards for State highways. Finding 60: Installation of driveways on a street increases the number of traffic conflict points. The greater
number of conflict points increases the probability of traffic crashes. Effective ways to reduce the probability of traffic crashes include: reducing the number of driveways; increasing distances between intersections and
driveways; and establishing adequate vision clearance areas where driveways intersect streets. Each of these
Attachment 2, Page 11 of 14
Page 12 of 14
techniques permits a longer, less cluttered sight distance for the motorist, reduces the number and difficulty of decisions that drivers must make, and contributes to increased traffic safety.
Finding 61: In accordance with SDC 4.2-120.C, site driveways shall be designed to allow for safe and efficient vehicular ingress and egress as specified in Tables 4.2-2 through 4.2-5, the City’s EDSPM, and the Springfield
Development & Public Works Department’s Standard Construction Specifications. Ingress-egress points must
be planned to facilitate traffic and pedestrian safety, avoid congestion, and minimize curb cuts on public streets.
Finding 62: The applicant is proposing to use an existing industrial driveway onto Laura Street to serve the
development site. Access will be derived from either the EWEB corridor along the southern edge of the site, or from an existing shared driveway outside the northern edge of the site. As stated and conditioned herein, for
either proposed access configuration a private access easement will need to be executed and recorded prior to
Final Site Plan approval (see Condition 7). A shared driveway will need to be installed to assure physical access to the development site. The two available options for proposed site driveways are both suitable for the
proposed use, which is limited to construction traffic during initial installation of the wireless telecommunications system facility and occasional maintenance vehicles thereafter.
Conclusion: The proposal satisfies this criterion.
E. Physical features, including, but not limited to: steep slopes with unstable soil or geologic conditions;
areas with susceptibility of flooding; significant clusters of trees and shrubs; watercourses shown on the Water Quality Limited Watercourse Map and their associated riparian areas; wetlands; rock outcroppings; open spaces; and areas of historic and/or archaeological significance, as may be specified
in Section 3.3-900 or ORS 97.740-760, 358.905-955 and 390.235-240, shall be protected as specified in this Code or in State or Federal law.
Finding 63: The Natural Resources Study, the National Wetlands Inventory, the Springfield Wetland Inventory Map, Wellhead Protection Overlay and the list of Historic Landmark Sites have been consulted and there are no
natural features on this site that warrant protection.
Finding 64: The applicant is not proposing to remove any qualifying trees from the property to facilitate site
development. In accordance with SDC 5.19-110.A, a tree felling permit is required for removal of more than 5 trees greater than 5-inches in diameter in any 12-month period. Therefore, this requirement is not applicable.
Finding 65: Stormwater runoff from the subject site flows to the Willamette River system. This river is listed with the State of Oregon as a “water quality limited” stream for numerous chemical and physical constituents,
including temperature. Provisions have been made in this decision for protection of stormwater quality. The
proposed site development will not create an appreciable amount of new impervious surface requiring constructed stormwater management facilities for runoff quantity or quality control.
Finding 66: As previously noted and conditioned herein, groundwater protection must be observed during construction and operation on the site. The applicant shall install and maintain Wellhead Protection Area
signage on the site to ensure the continued protection of surface water and groundwater resources.
Conclusion: The proposed development provides storm and ground water quality protection in accordance with
SDC 3.3-200 and receiving streams have been protected in accordance with SDC 4.3-110 and 4.3-115. The
proposal satisfies this criterion.
CONCLUSION: The Tentative Site Plan, as submitted and conditioned herein, complies with Criteria A-E of SDC 5.17-125. Staff recommends approval of the Tentative Site Plan subject to the recommended conditions contained herein and as summarized below.

Coverage and Capacity Study for
Springfield area
•Existing sites PO02307A and PO02313 are already
experiencing congestion for most of the time of the day.By
mid 2017 this will became critical and will severely impact
our customer experience in Springfield area.
•Also,areas located NE and SW of the proposed site are
experiencing weak coverage,not suitable for In-Building
service,being limited to In-Vehicle service only.Attachment 3, Page 19 of 27

Conclusions
•Existing sites PO02307A and PO02313A are
already experiencing congestion for most of the
time of the day.
•By bringing on-air PO04028A, we estimate that
the traffic load of PO02313A will be reduced by
40-45%, while traffic of PO02307A will be
reduced by 30-35%.
•New traffic will be picked up from In-Building
Commercial and Residential where the current
coverage is limited to In-Vehicle only.Attachment 3, Page 27 of 27
