and ORS 222.170(1), an annexation application may be initiated by "more than half the owners of land in the

sides: the north,west, and east sides. The requested annexation territory comprises one acre and zoning for
the property is Low Density Residential(LDR)with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay(UF-10)applied. The intent
of the annexation request is to facilitate future redevelopment of the property. The full range of City utilities
including sanitary sewer service are available along the property frontage on Deadmond Ferry Road. Because
urban utilities, services, and infrastructure are already installed and available, an Annexation Agreement is not
required for this annexation request.
Existing public services are provided to the annexation area as follows: police (Lane County Sheriff), schools
(Eugene 4J School District), roads (City of Springfield), Fire (Eugene/Springfield under contract with Rainbow
Water District), water service (Rainbow Water District), electrical service (Springfield
Utility Board (SUB)).

Mailed Notice. Notice of the annexation application was mailed August 20, 2018, which is at least 14

properties located within 300 feet of the perimeter of the proposed annexation territory; affected

City: along the property frontage on Deadmond Ferry Road; at Springfield City Hall; on the electronic
display in the foyer of the Development and Public Works office; and on the City of Springfield
website.
ORDINANCE NO. 6386
Exhibit C, Page 3 of 7
Finding: Upon annexation of the subject territory to the City the Low Density Residential miring will be
retained, but the Urbanimble Fringe Overlay District (UF-10) will no longer apply. Due to this change, the
Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) was notified in writing of the annexation
proceedings prior to the public hearing. Notification to DLCD regarding the proposed annexation was sent on
May 29,2018.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7-130.
Recommendation to City Council (SDC 5.7-135): The Director shall forward a written recommendation on
the armexation application to the City Council based on the approval criteria specified in Section 5.7-140,which
are provided as follows with the SDC requirements, findings, and conclusions. The Director's recommendation
follows SDC 5.7-140,Criteria.
Criteria (SDC 5.7-140): The application may be approved only if the City Council finds that the proposal
conforms to the following criteria:
A. The affected territory proposed to be annexed is within the City's urban growth boundary; and is
1. Contiguous to the city limits; or
2. Separated from the City only by a public right of way or a stream, lake or other body of
water.
Finding: The subject annexation territory is located within the acknowledged City of Springfield urban growth
boundary (UGB). The area requested for annexation abuts the Springfield city limits along three sides.
Therefore, this annexation application meets the statutory definition of contiguity as found in ORS 222.111(1).
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with criterion A(1),Subsection 5.7-140.
B. The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any
applicable refinement plans or Plan Districts;
Finding: The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission(LCDC)
in August, 1982 and has been subsequently amended. The annexation area is located within the acknowledged
UGB and within the area covered by the Metro Plan. Territory within the delineated UGB ultimately will be
within the City of Springfield.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is entirely within the City's acknowledged UGB.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is coned and designated Low Density Residential (LDR) in
accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan diagram. There are no
proposed changes to the current wring or plan designation, except automatic removal of the OF-10 Overlay by
operation of SDC 5.7-150.A.
Finding: In December 2016,Springfield adopted the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan Urbanization
Element m Springfield's comprehensive plan in compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 14, Urbanization.
The Urbanization Element explicitly retains the Merro Plan's long-standing urbanization policy criteria for
approving annexations.The Urbanization Element is effective but has yet to be acknowledged.
Finding: Under OAR 660-014-0070, "all appropriate goals must be applied during annexation by the city" of
lands not subject to an acknowledged comprehensive plan. Goal 14 is appropriate to apply to this annexation
because the Urbanization Element is unacknowledged. No other Statewide Planning Goals are directly
applicable to this annexation, because acknowledged provisions of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan or
Metro Plan implement all other relevant goals. Because the subject property is within the acknowledged urban
growth boundary,the provisions of Goal 14 regarding establishment of the urban growth boundary and land need
are not applicable to this annexation.
ORDINANCE NO. 6386
Exhibit C, Page 4 of 7
Finding: Goal 14, OAR 660-015-0000(14) "UrbanUable Land' states, "Land within urban growth boundaries
shall be considered available for urban development consistent with plans for the provision of urban facilities and
services." The proposed annexation complies with Goal 14 because key urban facilities and services can be
provided in an orderly,efficient and timely manner as explained further under Criterion C below.
Finding: The continued annexation of properties and public street rights-of-way to the City of Springfield is
consistent with the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Metro Plan policies, which will result in the
elimination of special districts within the urbaniaable area. The Metro Plan Public Facilities and Services
Element(Chapter III-G) recognizes that as annexations to the City occur, the special district service areas will
diminish incrementally and eventually will be dissolved.

unincorporated areas of northwest Springfield. After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the
annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the Rainbow Water District consistent
with ORS 222.510, 222.520, and 222.525 and the combined fire and life safety departments of the Cities of
Eugene At Springfield will provide fire protection service directly to the annexation area.
Finding: After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area
will be annexed into the Willamalane Park and Recreation District as authorized by an intergovernmental

facilities and services to territory within the City of Springfield. The subject annexation area is currently wood
and designated for single family residential development.

service delivery systems that are already in place along the public street frontage on Deadmond Ferry Road. In
addition to urban utilities, the following facilities and services are either available or can be extended to this
annexation area:

north of Harlow Road. The subject property is within the Eugene 4J school district and

population in the future.

public sewer line along the property frontage on Deadmond Ferry Road. A sanitary sewer lateral has been
stubbed into the property frontage. However,annexation of the property will be required before sanitary sewer

curb,gutter and sidewalk, a striped vehicle and bicycle lane in each direction,and a bi-directional center turning

new or existing street frontage improvements along Deadmond Ferry Road will be reviewed and approved as a
part of the site development or redevelopment process.

inside the City limits. Upon annexation,solid waste disposal service can be provided by Sanipac.
