DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The City Council is authorized by Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 222 and Springfield Development Code (SDC) Article 5.7-100 to act on annexation requests. In accordance with SDC 5.7-155 and ORS 222.040, 222.180 and 222.465, if approved the annexation will become effective 30 days
after signature by the Mayor or upon acknowledgement by the State, whichever date is later.
The subject property is currently zoned Low Density Residential (LDR) with an Urbanizable Fringe
Overlay (UF-10) applied and is located inside the City’s Urban Growth Boundary. According to the
2017 Lane County Assessment and Taxation records the property has an assessed value of $65,493.
The territory requested for annexation is located at the northwest corner of South 47th Street at Jasper
Road and it comprises approximately 0.91 acres. Urban services are available to serve the subject property, including sanitary and storm sewer, water, electricity and telecommunications. The applicant is proposing to extend public utilities from connection points on the perimeter to serve the subject property.
As outlined in the attached staff report (Attachment 2C), the annexation area can be served with the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as required in the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element. The attached staff report also confirms the request meets the criteria of approval for annexations established in Section 5.7-140 of the Springfield Development Code. The
applicant has executed an Annexation Agreement with the City that allocates financial responsibility
for the provision of urban utilities and services to the property (Attachment 2D).
The City Council conducted a public hearing and gave first reading to the Annexation Ordinance at the
regular meeting on December 3, 2018. No one testified in opposition to the proposed annexation.
Recommendation: The subject property complies with the standards and provisions of the SDC and
applicable ORS for annexation; Council approval to annex this property to the City and Willamalane
Park & Recreation District, and withdrawing same from Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District is consistent with all applicable laws.

Attachment 2, Page 19 of 34
Review Process (Springfield Development Code 5.7-115): The subject annexation request is being reviewed
under Type IV procedures, without Planning Commission consideration.
Development Issues Meeting (SDC 5.7-120): A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) is required of all public
agency and private landowner-initiated annexation applications, unless waived by the Director. Finding: A Development Issues Meeting for the subject annexation request was held on July 10, 2018 (Case 811-
18-000092-PRE).
Conclusion: The requirement in SDC 5.7-120 is met. Annexation Initiation and Application Submittal (SDC 5.7-125): In accordance with SDC 5.7-125.B.2.b.i
and ORS 222.170(1), an annexation application may be initiated by “more than half the owners of land in the territory, who also own more than half the land in the contiguous territory and of real property therein
representing more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing
to the annexation of their land”.
Finding: The property owner who owns all of the land and real property, and full assessed value of real property in the contiguous territory, has filed an application and petition requesting annexation to the City of
Springfield (Attachment 2, Exhibit B).
Conclusion: The application requirements in SDC 5.7-125 have been met.
Site Information: The subject annexation area consists of a rectangular ~39,180 ft2 (0.9-acre) residential parcel
that is currently vacant. The property is located on the northwest corner of South 47th Street at the intersection
with Jasper Road. The subject site is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the Springfield city limits along the northern and eastern boundaries.
Zoning for the property is Low Density Residential (LDR) with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay (UF-10) applied. According to the applicant’s submittal, the primary purpose of the annexation request is to facilitate a future
residential subdivision of the property. In conjunction with future development of the property, the applicant would need to relocate an existing public stormwater facility that runs along the western boundary of the site and
construct street improvements along the South 47th Street and Jasper Road frontages of the property. For these
reasons, the applicant has executed an Annexation Agreement with the City that outlines the applicant’s responsibilities and financial obligations for provision of public street improvements, utilities, and services to the
property (Attachment 2, Exhibit D).
Existing public services are provided to the annexation area as follows: police (Lane County Sheriff, Springfield Police Department), schools (Springfield School District), roads (City of Springfield and Lane County), and Fire (Eugene/Springfield under contract with the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District).
Springfield Utility Board (SUB) operates the existing electric and water utility infrastructure along the site frontages. Unincorporated properties in the vicinity are served by individual wells as there is no water district in
this area of south Springfield. Upon annexation, the City of Springfield will be responsible for all urban services, including sewer, water, electricity and police/fire response to the subject area.
Notice Requirements (SDC 5.7-130): Consistent with SDC 5.7-130, notice was provided as follows:
Mailed Notice. Notice of the annexation application was mailed November 13, 2018, which is at least 14 days
prior to the public hearing date, to the affected property owner(s); owners and occupants of properties located within 300 feet of the perimeter of the proposed annexation territory; affected neighborhood groups or community
organizations officially recognized by the city that includes the affected territory; affected special districts and all
other public utility providers; and the Lane County Land Management Division, Lane County Elections, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners.

the property frontages on South 47th Street and Jasper 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.
Finding: Upon annexation of the subject territory to the City the underlying Low Density Residential zoning will be retained, but the Urbanizable 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 October 1, 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 annexation 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 urban growth boundary (UGB) of
the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) and as more specifically detailed in the adopted Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element. The property requested for annexation abuts
the Springfield city limits along the northern and eastern boundaries. 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 of the Metro Plan and as more specifically delineated by the Springfield 2030 Refinement 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: In December 2016, Springfield adopted the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan - Urbanization Element as Springfield’s comprehensive plan in compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 14, Urbanization. The
Urbanization Element explicitly retains the Metro Plan’s long-standing urbanization policy criteria for approving
annexations. The Urbanization Element is effective but has yet to be acknowledged by LCDC.
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 Refinement Plan or Metro Plan
Exhibit C 3 of 7
Attachment 2, Page 21 of 34
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.
Finding: Goal 14, OAR 660-015-0000(14) “Urbanizable 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 territory requested for annexation is within a neighborhood that is zoned and designated for Low
Density Residential (LDR) use. The adopted elements of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan apply to areas within the Springfield UGB, particularly the Urbanization Element adopted by Ordinance 6361. There are no proposed changes to the current zoning or plan designation for the property except that the Urbanizable Fringe
(UF-10) overlay will be automatically removed upon annexation.
Finding: The continued annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with Policies 27 and 29 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, which will result in the elimination of special districts within the urbanizable area. The Metro Plan and the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element recognize that as annexations to the City occur, the special district service areas will diminish incrementally and eventually will be dissolved.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is currently within the service area of Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. The rural fire district has a service arrangement with Eugene/Springfield for provision of fire
response to unincorporated areas of south Springfield. After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection
District consistent with ORS 222.510, 222.520, and 222.525 and the combined fire and life safety departments of the Cities of Eugene & Springfield will provide fire protection service directly to the annexation area.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 33 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, SUB is the exclusive water service provider within the Springfield city limits.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 34 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, when unincorporated territory within the UGB is provided with any new urban service, that service shall be provided by
one of the following methods in this priority order: a) Annexation to City; or b) Contractual annexation agreements with City.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 35 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, the City shall not extend water or wastewater service outside city limits to serve a residence or business without first
obtaining a valid annexation petition, a consent to annex agreement, or when a health hazard abatement annexation
is required.
Finding: The requested annexation is to facilitate future subdivision of the property and construction of residential dwellings. Public sanitary sewer service is available along the South 47th Street frontage of the site.
Finding: The property owner submitted an application for annexation to the City (Attachment 2, Exhibit B), and an Annexation Agreement was executed and recorded at Lane County Deeds & Records as Document #2018-
055258 (Attachment 2, Exhibit D).
Finding: After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the property will be annexed into the Willamalane Park & Recreation District as authorized by an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Springfield and Lane County. The park district provides park and recreation facilities and
services to territory within the City of Springfield. The subject property is currently zoned and designated for Low Density Residential use and this zoning will be retained upon annexation.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with criterion B, Subsection 5.7-140.
Exhibit C 4 of 7
Attachment 2, Page 22 of 34
C. The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as defined in the Metro Plan can be provided in an orderly, efficient and timely manner; and Finding: In accordance with Policy 29 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element,
annexation shall continue to be a prerequisite for urban development and the delivery of City services in accordance with the Springfield Comprehensive Plan and Springfield Development Code.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 31 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, key urban facilities and services are defined as wastewater service; stormwater service; transportation; solid waste
management; water service; fire and emergency medical services; police protection; citywide park and recreation
programs; electric service; land use controls; communication facilities; and public schools on a districtwide basis.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 32 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, urban services provided by the City upon annexation to Springfield include storm and sanitary sewer; water; transportation systems; police and fire protection; planning, building, code enforcement and library services; and
public infrastructure maintenance of City owned or operated facilities. Finding: The territory requested for annexation is contiguous with the City limits along the northern and eastern
boundaries. Urban utilities have been extended along adjacent public streets and are available to serve the subject property, adjacent properties, and areas beyond the annexation territory. Therefore, the urban service delivery
systems are already available and in place or can be logically extended from points in the vicinity to serve the subject property. In addition to urban utilities, the following facilities and services are either available or can be extended to this annexation area: Water – The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) operates the public water utility system within incorporated areas of
south Springfield. As noted above, SUB is the exclusive water service provider for properties within the City limits. Upon annexation, the applicant will be eligible for extension of public water lines necessary to serve the
planned subdivision of the property.
Electricity – SUB Electric provides service to the neighborhoods in south Springfield that are located to the north
of the Mt. Vernon Road alignment. SUB owns and maintains electrical system infrastructure along Jasper Road and South 47th Street. Existing electrical system infrastructure within the public rights-of-way will continue to be
maintained by the affected utility provider.
Police Services – Springfield Police Department currently provides service to areas of south Springfield that are already inside the City limits. The annexation territory is currently within the jurisdiction of the Lane County
Sheriff’s Department. Upon annexation, this area will receive Springfield Police services on an equal basis with other properties inside the City. Fire and Emergency Services – Fire protection is currently provided to the annexation area by Eugene/ Springfield
Fire Department under contract with the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. Upon annexation, the Eugene/Springfield Fire Department will provide fire and emergency services directly to the subject territory.
Emergency medical transport (ambulance) services are provided on a regional basis by the Eugene/Springfield Fire
Department, and Lane Rural Fire/Rescue to central Lane County. The annexation area will continue to receive
this service consistent with the adopted ambulance service area (ASA) plan. Mutual aid agreements have been adopted by the three regional ASA providers to provide backup coverage for each other’s
jurisdictions.
Parks and Recreation – Park and recreation services are provided to the City of Springfield by the Willamalane Park & Recreation District. The park district operates several indoor recreation facilities, such as the Willamalane Park Swim Center, Lively Park Swim Center, Bob Keefer Center, and Willamalane Adult Activity Center. The
park district offers various after-school and other programs for children at schools and parks throughout the community. Also available are pathways and several categories of parks, including community parks, sports parks, special use parks, and natural area parks.

Attachment 2, Page 23 of 34
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject property will be annexed to the Willamalane
Park & Recreation District consistent with City policy and the adopted Willamalane Comprehensive Plan.
Library Services – Upon annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be within the service area of the Springfield Public Library.
Schools – The Springfield School District serves this area of south Springfield. Based on the planned subdivision of the subject property and construction of residential dwellings, it is expected that the
annexation territory could generate permanent residents and a school-age population in the future. Sanitary Sewer – The annexation territory does not contain existing public sanitary sewer lines but connection
points are available along the property frontage on South 47th Street. As detailed in the executed Annexation Agreement, the applicant will be responsible for extension of sanitary sewer lines necessary to serve the planned
residential subdivision on the property.
Stormwater – The subject annexation territory is currently served by a public stormwater management facility
that is located inside the western boundary of the site. Relocation of the surface swale and construction of new
stormwater management facilities will be required in conjunction with residential development of the property. Streets – The subject annexation area abuts South 47th Street along the eastern boundary. South 47th Street is
inside the City limits and has been developed to urban standards with curb, gutter and sidewalk, street trees, and street lighting. Currently, the subject property lacks street trees along the South 47th Street frontage so these will
be required in conjunction with development of the residential subdivision. Abutting the subject property to the south, Jasper Road is outside the City limits and is a Lane County facility that
lacks curb and gutter, sidewalk, street trees and piped stormwater management facilities. With annexation and development of a residential subdivision on the property, the applicant will be responsible for improving the Jasper Road frontage with curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street trees.
Solid Waste Management – The City and Sanipac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for garbage service inside the City limits. Upon annexation, solid waste disposal service would be provided by Sanipac.
Communication Facilities – Various providers offer both wired and wireless communication services in the
Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. Existing providers and those entering the market have the capability to provide service to this area.
Land Use Controls – The annexation area is within Springfield’s urban growth boundary. Through an
intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of Springfield, the City already has planning
and building jurisdiction for unincorporated areas of Springfield. The City will continue to administer land use controls after annexation. Finding: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as outlined in the adopted Metro Plan and
the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element are immediately available to the site.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with criterion C, Subsection 5.7-140.
D. Where applicable, fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or other mechanism approved by the City Council. Finding: The area proposed for annexation is a vacant parcel that is planned for a residential subdivision. The property owner has executed and recorded an Annexation Agreement with the City that outlines the applicant’s
financial responsibility for provision of public streets and utilities necessary to serve the property, including
extension of public sanitary sewer. Upon annexation and approval of a Public Improvement Permit for the project, the property owner will be responsible for the cost of constructing the public improvements necessary to serve a
Exhibit C 6 of 7
Attachment 2, Page 24 of 34
residential subdivision of the property. Therefore, any potential fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated by
the executed Annexation Agreement.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with criterion D, Subsection 5.7-140.
DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: The proposal complies with the annexation criteria of approval listed in SDC 5.7-140, and Council is within its authority to approve annexation of the subject territory to the City of Springfield and Willamalane Park and Recreation District; and withdrawal of the subject territory from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. City Council Decision (SDC 5.7-145): City Council approval of the annexation application shall be by
Ordinance. Finding: On December 3, 2018, the City Council held a Public Hearing for the subject annexation request and
give first reading to the Annexation Ordinance. Based on the staff analysis and recommendations, and on testimony provided at the Public Hearing, the City Council held a second reading on January 7 and approved
the Annexation Ordinance.
Zoning (SDC 5.7-150): The area requested for annexation is zoned and designated Low Density Residential
(LDR) in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Metro Plan diagram. Properties that are outside the City limits have the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District (UF-10) applied to the zoning. Upon the effective date of the annexation, the UF-10 overlay will be automatically removed and the property will retain
the LDR zoning. Effective Date and Notice of Approved Annexation (SDC 5.7-155): The Ordinance will become effective 30 days after adoption by the City Council and execution by the Mayor (anticipated on or around February 6, 2019), or upon acknowledgement of filing with the Secretary of State – whichever date is later.
Withdrawal from Special Service Districts (SDC 5.7-160): Withdrawal from special districts may occur
concurrently with the approved annexation Ordinance or after the effective date of the annexation of territory to the
City. The Director shall recommend to the City Council for consideration of the withdrawal of the annexed territory from special districts as specified in ORS 222. In determining whether to withdraw the territory, the City Council shall determine whether the withdrawal is in the best interest of the City. Notice of the withdrawal
shall be provided in the same manner as the annexation notice in Section 5.7-150. Finding: The annexation area is within the delineated service territory of SUB (electric and water) and the
Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District (contracted fire response). The Cities of Eugene/Springfield will directly provide fire and emergency services after annexation, and the City of Springfield by and through the
Springfield Utility Board will directly provide water and electric service after annexation. Consistent with SDC 5.7-160, notice was provided and a public hearing was held on December 3, 2018.
Finding: The City Council has determined that withdrawal from the rural service district is in the best interest of the City as the full range of urban utilities and services are available to serve the subject property.
