I. Executive Summary
The subject site has been the subject of previous land use permits over many years, most relevantly, a
±100 -acre Master Plan in 2008 (the Marcola Meadows Master Plan). In 2018, a Modification to the
Marcola Meadows Master Plan was approved by the City of Springfield. More recently, (December 2019)
a 170 -lot residential subdivision (for single-family detached homes) was approved for the northernmost
±23 -acre portion of the property. To date, the project has yet to break ground; however, Phase 1A of the
subdivision is currently in the final engineering plan review stage with an anticipated construction start
date in the spring/summer of 2020.
Efforts are currently underway to modify the Marcola Meadows Master Plan to provide for a number of
specifically planned project elements, including a church, school, and multi -family homes, in addition to
the detached homes described above. In conjunction with these updates, recently submitted property
line adjustment and partition applications are intended to facilitate ownership transactions that are
expected to help fund needed site and infrastructure improvements associated with the project. The
partition application (currently under review) involves dividing the property into three parcels matching
future phase boundaries/land uses that will be more clearly illustrated in a future master plan
modification submittal.
Finally, preceding the efforts described above, this application involves a streamlined master plan
modification to update the approved phasing configuration (and allow for updates to the approved
stormwater management system design). Approval of this updated Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan
application will result in a basis for the evaluation of the phases of planned development, including future
subdivision application submittals for Phases 113, 2A, and 2B. Therefore, this application is necessary to
resolve infrastructure sequencing and allow continued progress regarding construction plans (in the
northern portion of the site). Furthermore, the timely implementation of the planned improvements will
benefit the community by providing needed homes and increasing connectivity in the area. In summary,
this application involves the following modifications intended to facilitate successful development of the
project site:
Summary of Modifications to Final Master Plan:
• Updates to the phase boundaries (for Phases 113, 2A and 2B)
• Renumbering of lots (to correspond with updated phasing)
• Updates to the approved stormwater drainage report
This application includes the City application forms, written materials, and preliminary plans necessary for
City staff to review and determine compliance with the applicable approval criteria. The evidence supports
the City's approval of the application.
if. Site Description/Setting
The Marcola Meadows Master Plan site (adjusted Tax Lots 1800 and 2300) includes a total area of ±100
acres, and its configuration is based upon a previously submitted Property Line Adjustment (PLA)
application (in process). As shown on the Preliminary Plans in Exhibit B, the scope of this modification
impacts a portion of Phases 1-2 in the northeastern portion of the site.

5.13-125 Preliminary Master Plan — Criteria
A Preliminary Master Plan shall be approved, or approved with conditions, if the
Approval Authority finds that the proposal conforms with all ofthe applicable approval
criteria.
A. Plan/Zone Consistency. The existing or proposed zoning shall be consistent
with the Metro Plan diagram and/or applicable text. In addition, the
Preliminary Master Plan shall be in compliance with applicable City
Refinement Plan, Conceptual Development Plan or Plan District standards,
policies and/or diagram and maps.
Response: The subject site is currently designated with MDR and MUC zoning and ND area overlay.
The existing zoning is consistent with the current Metro Plan Diagram and applicable text.
As demonstrated in this application, the Preliminary Final Master Plan Modification
intends to be in compliance with the SDCs and applicable Plan District standards. The
purpose of this modification is to update the configuration of the phasing schedule;
therefore, consistency with Plans/Zones will remain unchanged. The approval criterion is
satisfied.
B. Zoning District Standards. The Preliminary Master Plan shall be i
compliance with applicable standards of the specific zoning district and/or
overlay district
Response: The updated phasing plan necessitates this modification application but does not
otherwise affect findings made previously by City staff and/or conditions of approval
relevant to specific zoning district standards. This application does not contain
substantive changes that would affect its compliance with the standards of the underlying
zoning and overlay districts (i.e. MUC, MDR, and ND). The Preliminary Plans illustrate
AVC Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan UPDATED May 2020
Phasing Modification— City of Springfield Page
compliance with the applicable standards discussed above. Therefore, the approval
criterion is satisfied.
C. Transportation System Capacity. With the addition of traffic from the
proposed development, there is either sufficient capacity in the City's existing
transportation system to accommodate the development proposed in all
figure phases or there will be adequate capacity by the time each phase of
development is completed. Adopted State and/or local mobility standards, as
applicable, shag be used to determine transportation system capacity. The
Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with any conditions of approval
from aMetro Plan diagram and/or text amendment regarding transportation
and all applicable transportation standards specified in SDC Chapter 4.
Response: As shown on the Preliminary Plans, the scope of this modification is limited to updating
the phase boundaries between Phases 1B, 2A, and 2B. In 2018, the Marcola Meadows
Final Master Plan was approved and found to adequately accommodate the planned
capacity generated by the project. The TIS associated with the 2018 approval
demonstrates compliance with the applicable transportation standards specific in the
SDC.
The updated phasing plan necessitates this modification application but does not
otherwise affect findings made previously by City staff and/or conditions of approval
relevant to transportation system impacts and/or capacity constraints. Consistent with
Finding 17 (Master Plan), this modification application does not significantly modify the
configuration of the planned public street system as originally approved in 2008, or the
anticipated traffic patterns generated by the project. Therefore, the transportation
system capacity is not impacted and Criterion C is met.
D. Parking. Parking areas have been designed m: Facilitate traffic safety and
avoid congestion; provide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity within the
property and to nearby transit stops and public areas. The Preliminary Master
Plan shag also comply with all applicable vehicular and bicycle parking
standards specified in SDC Chapter 4.
Response: This application does not involve modifications which affect on-site parking areas. The
updated phasing plan, necessitating this modification application, does not otherwise
affect findings made previously by City staff and/or conditions of approval relevant to
vehicular or bicycle parking. Findings 19 and 20 (Local file no. 811-18-000054-TYP:
Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan Modification) remain consistent with this
modification application. The Preliminary Phasing Plan in Exhibit B provides for
connectivity of the public street system internal to the site and to perimeter public
streets. Vehicle and bicycle parking for multi -family residential and various land uses will
be reviewed and approved incrementally as detailed site plans are advanced for those
portions of the site. Therefore, Criterion D is satisfied.
E. Ingress -egress. Ingress -egress points have been designed to: facilitate traffic
safety and avoid congestion; provide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity
within the property and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops,
neighborhood activity centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas;
and minimize driveways on arterial and collector streets as specified in this
Code or other applicable City and State regulations. The Prefitminary Master
AVO Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan UPDATED May 2020
Phasing Modification— City of Springfield Page
Plan shall also comply pith all applicable ingress/egress standards specified
in SDC Chapter 4.
Response: As shown on the Preliminary Phasing Plan in Exhibit B, the single-family residential
housing access points on N 31a Street are consistent with what is shown on the approved
Preliminary and Final Master Plans. Ingress -egress points have been designed to facilitate
safe and efficient traffic, provide connectivity within and from the site, and minimize
driveways on 31" Street (functionally classified as a Minor Collector street). The approval
Criterion E is satisfied; this application does not involve modifications which affect off-site
traffic.
F. Availability of Public U6fities. Evsting public wifides, including, but not
limited to, water, electricity, wastewater fdfides, and stonruvatter
management fcifides either have sufficient capacity to support the proposed
development in all future phases adequately, or there will be adequate
capacity available by the time each phase of development -is completed. The
Public Works Director or appropriate utility provider shall determine capacity
issues. The Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with applicable utility
standards specified in SDC Chapters 4 and 5.
Response: The updated phasing plan necessitates this modification application but does not
otherwise affect findings made previously by City staff and/or conditions of approval
relevant to sanitary sewer, water, or utility impacts and/or capacity constraints.
Specifically, Findings 23 and 45 assert there is adequate infrastructure capacity planned
to be provided to the site.
However, this application involves updates to the approved stormwater management
design and associated public facilities. Condition of Approval 7 requires the Applicant to
"design and build each phase's public stormwater system through the City's PIP
[performance improvement project] process in accordance with the approved drainage
report." This application involves updates to the approved stormwater management
design. As modified, stormwater runoff for Phases 18, 2A, and 2B is directed toward the
facility in the northwestern portion of the site (Tract D). The phase boundaries and lot
numbers are updated in accordance to allow for the construction of said public facilities
in a logical manner. Please seethe Preliminary Stormwater Report, in Exhibit F, forfurther
details. Public utilities are planned to be provided concurrently with each phase in
accordance with the SDC. This modification is in compliance with Criterion F.
G. Protection of Physical Features. Physical features, including, but not limited
to slopes 15 percent or greater with unstable soil or geologic conditions, areas
with susceptibility to flooding, significant clusters of trees and shrubs,
watercourses shown on the Water Quality Limited Watercourses (WQLW)
Map and their associated riparian areas, wetlands, rock outcroppings and
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. The
Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with applicable physical feature
protection standards specified in SDC Chapter 4.
Response: The purpose of this modification is to update the phase boundaries as shown on the
Preliminary Phasing Plan in Exhibit B. The site is generally flat and currently exists as a
AVO Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan UPDATED May 2020
Phasing Modification— City of Springfield Page 30
grassy field. Finding 45 states "the property is currently vacant and the only notable
physical feature on the site is the existing linear drainage channel (Pierce Ditch)." This
application does not involve updates to the Pierce Ditch (it remains as shown in the 2018
Modified Master Plan), and therefore will not change the status of natural features on the
site. Approval of this application is in accordance with the finding made previously by City
staff and there are no associated conditions of approval. Criterion G is met.
H. Phasing Plan. The Phasing Plan shall: demonstrate that the construction of
required public Facaides shall occur in a logical sequence, either in
conjunction with, or prim to each phase, or thatthere are appropriate financial
guarantees as specified in Subsection 5.13-120M. to ensure the phased public
facifides construction will occur.
Response: As described in this written document, there is a comprehensive master plan modification
effort underway that is planned for submittal in the near future. This application involves
modifications to the phase boundaries approved in the Marcola Meadows Final Master
Plan.
Due to the project's stormwater management design and topographic constraints,
surface stormwater runoff (for Phases 18, 2A, and 28) will be directed toward the facility
in the western portion of the site. That said, the phase boundaries are updated to allow
for the construction of public facilities in a logical manner, as follows:
The phasing plan for Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan is intended to allow for
appropriate market absorption into the City of Springfield. The configurations of Phases
1A, 18, and 2 are responsive to various points of infrastructure connection, detailed as
follows:
Phase 1A begins at the east property boundary to allow the extension of underground
utilities from the intersection of W Street and N 31" Street into the subdivision and moves
south to implement stormwater facilities. The design of Phase 1B is a result of secondary
access implementation and planned stormwater management; the phase moves west to
construct Tract D, the largest of the stormwater facilities, and is then directed to the
southwest to implement road and utility infrastructure improvements. Phase 2A moves
east to continue utility sequencing and connect road infrastructure. The phasing plan is
designed to be carried out in a manner that provides necessary public improvements for
each phase as it moves forward.
Adjacent Use Protection. The proposed Preliminary Master Plan contains
design, elements including, but not limited to landscaping/screening,
parking/traffic rnanagrmeny and multi -.nodal transportation that limit
and/or mitigate identified conflicts between the site and adjacent uses.
Response: This application does not involve modifications which affect adjacent use protection
including provisions related to landscaping, screening, parking/traffic management, or
multi -modal transportation routes. As illustrated on the modified Preliminary Phasing
Plan in Exhibit B, the updates impact phase boundaries internal to the site (Phases 18, 2A,
and 28). The updated phasing plan, necessitating this modification application, does not
AVO Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan UPDATED May 2020
Phasing Modification— City of Springfield Page 11
affect Finding 53 made by staff and there are no relevant conditions of approval.
Therefore, this application is consistent with Criterion I.
