AVC Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan June 2020
Preliminary Subdivision Application- City of Springfield Pagel
1. Executive Summary — Preliminary Subdivision
The Marcola Meadows 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. Most notably, the 2018
approval amended the zoning (±19.3 acres of Community Commercial to Mixed Use Commercial)
associated with the expired site plan for a home improvement department store. This land use action
resulted in a ±45 -acre Mixed Use Commercial (MUC) District and ±55 -acre Medium Density Residential
(MDR) District designation on site. Per the Springfield Development Code (SDC), development within the
MUC District shall have commercial dominance, with residential and public uses also allowed. Surrounded
by established residential neighborhoods and industrial properties, the site has seen several attempts at
commercial and residential development. Despite these attempts, the Marcola Meadows property has
sat vacant for many years. The lack of interest in mixed-use commercial development for the southern
portion of the site necessitates broader consideration of uses for this area.
In December 2019, a 170 -lot residential subdivision (for single-family detached homes) was approved for
the northernmost ±23 -acre portion of the property. 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.
With a recent final master plan modification submitted to resolve infrastructure sequencing and allow
continued progress toward construction plans, the northern portion of the site is now advancing with
single-family homes and a comprehensive street network aligned as envisioned by the Marcola Meadows
Final Master Plan.
Preceding this application, a property line adjustment and partition application were submitted to
facilitate ownership transactions and put financing mechanisms in place for needed improvements across
the site. Parallel to this financing effort, potential developers have influenced planned uses of the
southern portion of Marcola Meadows, potentially increasing the site's compatibility with existing nearby
uses. Implementing these planned uses will require modifications to the Marcola Meadows Final Master
Plan to align the housing and infrastructure efforts underway in the north of the site with several
specifically planned project elements to the south.
This Modification application is necessitated by planned changes in land use for the southern portion of
the site. A Metro Plan Diagram Amendment (from Commercial to Medium Density Residential) and Zone
Map Amendments are planned to provide for needed multi -family homes, a new school, a convenience
market/station, and a church site. An efficient site layout and appropriate mix of residential and
commercial uses will bring life to an existing urban property that is uniquely vacant in comparison to the
surrounding area. The Springfield community will benefit from the infill development and connectivity
this project provides. Additionally, this project will introduce multi -family homes to an area where there
are none currently. The Marcola Meadows Master Plan, as illustrated on the updated Preliminary Plans,
demonstrates an intentional community and contains a variety of housing types to serve a diverse housing
market and accommodate residents. In summary, this application involves the following significant
modifications intended to facilitate successful development of the subject site:
Summary of Modifications to Final Master Plan:
• Metro Plan Diagram Amendment (from Commercial to Medium Density Residential Designation)
• Distinct Zone Map Amendments (from MUC District to MDR, PLO, and CC Districts)
• Removal of the Nodal Development (ND) Area Overlay
AVC Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan June 2020
Preliminary Subdivision Application— City of Springfield Page
• Updates to the phase boundaries and nomenclature
• Renumbering of lots (to correspond with updated phasing)
• Updates to the approved stormwater drainage report
The Metro Plan Diagram Amendment and Zone Map Amendments are consistent with relevant goals and
policies within the City of Springfield's Comprehensive Plan and satisfy the SDC's applicable approval
criteria for amendments.
This application includes the City application forms, written materials, and preliminary plans necessaryfor
City staff to review and determine compliance with the applicable approval criteria. The evidence supports
the City's approval of the application.
it. Site Description/Setting
The Marcola Meadows Master Plan site (adjusted Tax Lots 1800 and 2300) includes a total area of ±100
acres and a configuration based on a previously submitted Property Line Adjustment (PLA) application. A
recent Partition application (in process) divided the property into manageable parcels to begin master
implementation. The Preliminary Plans show the adjusted property boundaries of Tax Lots 1800 and 2300.
The property is flat and currently exists as a grassy field. It is vacant and fronts on Marcola Road to the
south and both 281h and W Street to the east. The property is currently classified with MDR and MUC
District zoning designations.

FINDINGS FOR METRO PLAN COMPLIANCE
Response: SDC 5.22-115 requires compliance with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan when the
City amends its acknowledged comprehensive plan and land use regulations. A
concurrent application submittal amends the City's acknowledged Zoning Map in a way
that is inconsistent with the Metro Plan Diagram and therefore requires a Metro Plan
Diagram Amendment. Please see the concurrent application with responses to Section
5.14-115 addressing the planned amendments to the Metro Plan Diagram and Section
5.22-115 for amendments to Springfield's acknowledged Zoning Map. This application is
in compliance with the envisioned Metro Plan and SDC.
CHAPTER 3 LAND USE DISTRICTS
Section 3.2-200 Residential Zoning Districts
3.2-205 Establishment of Residential Zoning Districts
C. Medium Density Residential District (MDR). The MDR District applies
within the MDR designation and:
1. Establishes sites for residential development where primarily
tmultifirmily dwellings are permitted and the density range is 14 m28
dwelling units per net acre. Density fractions will be rounded up to
the next whole number. As specified in Section 3.2-215, Footnote 15,
MDR lot area and dimension standards may be reduced through the
subdivision application process in order to meet density standards.
EXCEPTION: The minimum and/or maximum density may be increased
in the Nodal Development Overlay District and transit
corridors as determined through the Refinement Plan
and/or Master Plan process.
2. Provides for a limited range of neighborhood uses that provide
services for residents.
Response: As depicted on the Existing Zoning sheet within the Preliminary Plans, a portion of the
subject site is currently designated with MDR District zoning. Additionally, a portion of
the subject site is planned to be amended with MDR District zoning, as illustrated on
sheets PO -05 and PO -06 and shown in Table 3. It is understood the lot area and
dimensions maybe reduced to meet density standards. The site complies with the density
range of 14 to 28 units per acre as demonstrated in Table 5. Please see the density
calculation and Section 5.13-135 for further narrative regarding compliance with density
standards.
In addition, the site is currently designated with ND Overlay and involves removal through
the Comprehensive Plan and Zone Map Amendment process. Therefore, the exception
above is not relevant.

Response: As shown on the Preliminary Plans, a portion of the site is designated with existing MDR
district. Additionally, a zone map amendment from MUC to MDR District affects area in
the southern portion of the site.
The base zone development standards listed above (e.g. lot area, street frontage,
setbacks, building height, etc.) will be reviewed for compliance at future site design
review. It is understood that in the MDR zoning district, lot area and dimensions may be
reduced through the subdivision process as long as density and open space standards can
be met. Approval of this application does not interfere with compliance with applicable
provisions, conditions, or goals intended from the modified final master plan. The subject
lots meets the minimum lot area and street frontage requirements of the MDR zoning
district; therefore, the planned amendments meet the most relevant criteria.
3.2-225 Base Solar Development Standards
AVO Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan June 2020
Preliminary Subdivision Application— City of Springfield Page
A. Budding Placement for Solar Protection. All buildings in the LDR and MDR
Districts shall protect the solar access of neighboring residential lots/parcels
unless specified elsewhere in this Code.
1. Solar Setback Standard. The proposed building shall comply with 1
ofthe Subsections below.
a. Solar Setback. The solar setback of the shade point shall be
greater than or equal to the setback specified in Table 3.2-1
or as computed using the following formula.
SSB = (2.5 x SPH) + (N/2) _ 75
Where:
SSB = The solar setback (the horizontal distance between the shade
point and the Northern lot/parcel fine in feet, (See
Figure 3.2-A);
SPH = The height ofthe shade point in feet (See Figures 3.2-D and
E); and
N = The north -south dimension in feet' provided that a north -
south dimension more than 90 feet shall use a value of90 feet
for this calculation. Provided, the solar setback of the shade
point may be decreased 2.5 feet above the amount calculated
using the formula or Table 3.2-A for each foot that the
average grade at the rear property line exceeds the average
grade at the front property fine.
b. Alternative Standard: Maximum Shade Point Height. The
maximum height of the shade point shall be less than or
equal to the height specified in Table 3.2-B or as computed
using the following formula:
SPH — (2x SSB)- N + 150
5
provided, the maximum allowed height ofthe shade point
may be increased 1 foot above the amount calculated using
the formula or Table 3.2-2 for each foot that the average
grade at the rear property fine exceeds the average grade at
the front property fine.
C. Performance Option. The proposed building shall notshade
re than 20 percent of the south -facing wall of existing
habitable buildings, or, where applicable, the proposed
building will comply with Section 3B or 3C of the Solar
Design Standards. If Section 3B is used, the shade point of
the building shall be setback from the solar building fine 2.5
feet for every 1 -foot ofheight ofthe shade point.
The solar setback for panhandle lots/parcels is calculated on the
north -south dimension of the pan portion of the lot/parcel. The
outhern-most lot/ parcel, with a north south dimension less than 60
feet in the pan portion of the lot/parcel shall have a restricted
building height of21 feet.
Exemptions. A building is exempt from the Solar Setback Standards
when any ofthe following conditions exist.
AVO Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan June 2020
Preliminary Subdivision Application— City of Springfield Page
Slopes. The lot/parcel on which the building is located has
an average slope 20 percent or more in a direction greater
than 45 degrees east or west oftrue south.
Pre-existing Shade. The building will shade an area that is
shaded by one or more of the following:
i. An existing or approved building or structure;
A topographic feature; or
u.. A -exempt tree that will remain after
development of the site. It is assumed that a tree
will remain after development if it is situated in a
required setback; or it is part of a developed area,
public park, or legally reserved open space; or it is
part oflandscaping required pursuant to this Code.
A duly executed covenant also can be used to
preserve trees causing the shade.
Insignificant Benefit The proposed building shades one or
more of the following:
i. A non -developable area, for example, designated
open space or streets, or a public use, which does
not need solar access (park land, street, public
facility) or similar uses.
rr. The wall of an unheated space, for example a
garage, excluding solar greenhouses and other
similar solar structures.
u.. Shade less than 20 square feet of south -Facing
glaang.
B. Building Height Restrictions for Solar Protection. In residential districts, the
maximum building height is determined by solar access considerations, as
specified in Section 3.2-215. No building is required to be less than 21 feet in
height when set back from the northern lot/parcel fine a minimum of 1/2 of
the north -south dimension. Where the HDR District abuts an LDR or MDR
District, the building height standard ofthe HDR Distrlccis 1 ofthe following:
Response: As shown on the Preliminary Plans, the residential area of the site is designated with MDR
District. Therefore, the standards of Section 3.2-225 are applicable to the northerly
residential portion of the site and the multi -family phase. To protect the solar access of
neighboring residential lots, new buildings must comply with the building height
restrictions and shade point calculations outlined above.
The following Solar Setback Diagram (Figure 1) illustrates a two-story house can meet the
required building setbacks but is unable to achieve the required solar setbacks upon the
shadow effect produced. Consequently, the solar setbacks effectively preclude most
forms of housing on these lots and thereby lead to unreasonable cost and delay to meet
these requirements. Pursuant to ORS 197.307(4), a local government may adopt and
apply only clear and objective standards, conditions, and procedures regulating the
development of housing, and may not have the effect of discouraging needed housing
through unreasonable cost or delay.

Figure 1: Solar Setback Diagram
Additionally, the Applicant received a waiver of solar setback standards (Exhibit H) for
several lots in the Phase 1A portion of the site. The waiver acknowledges that imposition
of the standards of Section 3.2-225 result in unreasonable cost of delay and specifies the
City's determination to waive these standards, consistent with ORS 197.307(4), for those
applicable lots.
This application demonstrates the imposition of solar development standards continue
to cause unreasonable cost and delay for the lots intended for residential use. Pursuant
to SDC 3.2-205, the intent of the MDR District is to "establish sites for residential
development where primarily multi -family dwellings are permitted." It is understood in
the MDR District the lot area and dimensions may be reduced to meet density standards.
As shown in Figure 1, the lots which meet building setbacks cannot meet solar setbacks.
In turn, to meet density, lot size may be reduced - and to meet solar setbacks, building
setbacks must be increased. A policy that increases property line setbacks and tightens
height restrictions is at odds with policies that attempt to increase urban density.
Furthermore, Section 3.2-225 imposes relatively steep costs in housing design and
restricts property rights.
The Springfield Comprehensive Plan discusses policies and implementation actions to
plan for growth and needed housing. Policy HA asserts Springfield will "continue to

types in the existing medium and high density residential districts." This application
upholds Policy HA and supports removal of the regulation based on the unreasonable
cost and delay of needed housing provided by the site.
Therefore, this application involves a modification to remove compliance with the
provisions of SDC 3.2-225 for all the lots intended for residential use within the Marcola
Meadows Master Plan site.
3.2-240 Multi Unit Design Standards
A. Applicability. In all residential districts, multi -unit development (3 or more
attached units) shall comply with the design standards of this Section. In
cases where the standards of this Subsection conflict with other standards in
this Code, the standards of this Section shall prevail.
B. Purpose. The purpose ofthis Section is to:
1. Promote the livability, neighborhood compatibility and public safety
ofmuld-unit housing in the community, and
2. Promote higher residential densities inside the urban growth
boundary that will utilize existing infrastructure and improve the
efficiency ofpnbfic services and facilities.
C. Review. All multi -unit developments shall be reviewed as a Type II Site Plan
Review application as specified in Section 5.17-100. The Director may also
determine that a multi -unit developmentis subject to a Type III reviewwhen
itis in the public interest. In addition, the applicant may choose the Type III
Alternative Design procedure specified in Section 3.2-245 when proposing an
innovative design that may preclude compliancewith some orall ofthe design
standards in this Section.
Response: This project anticipates future multi -family housing that will be required to meet the
design standards of this section. As specified above, compliance with the applicable
standards will be reviewed and determined at future Site Plan Review. Therefore, the
remainder of this section has been omitted for brevity purposes.

watercourses by promoting bank stability, assisting in flood protection and
flow control, protecting riparian functions, minimizing a and
preserving water quality and significant fish and wildlife areas Minimize
adverse effects on surrounding property owners and the general public
through specific approval conditions; Ensure the provision ofpublic facilities
and services;
s; Provide for c B
connectivity between different uses; Utilize
alternativetransportation modes including walking, bicycling and mass
transit Facilities; Implement the Metro Plan, applicable refinement plans,
specific area plans and specific development plans; Minimize adverse effects
on surrounding property owners and the general public through specific
approval conditions; and Otherwise protect the public health and safety.
B. The Partition process regulates land divisions that create 2 m3 parcels within
a calendar year. If the Director determines that a property proposed to be
partitioned has been, or is in the process ofbeing divided into 4 or more lots,
fitfl compliance with the Subdivision regulations specified in this Code may
be required.
C. The Subdivision process regulates land divisions that cream 4 or more lots
within a calendar year.
Response: This project involves a land division by means of a subdivision application to create more
than 4 lots within a calendar year. Therefore, the criteria of this section apply.
D. Applicability.
1. The Partition process applies within the city limits and the City's
urbanizable area. Generally, no more than 3 parcels may be created
from 1 tract ofland in the City's urbanizable area until annexation, as
specified in Section 5.12-125I.2.1xiu.
2. The Subdivision process applies only within the city limits.
3. No lot/parcel may be created without being divided as specified in
this Code.
4. No development permit will be issued by the City prior to approval
ofthe Partition or Subdivision Tentative Plan application.
EXCEPTION: As maybe permitted in the Springfield Municipal Code, 1997
and/or by Resolution No. 03-40, the Director may issue a
Land and Drainage Alteration Permit prior to approval of
the Partition or Subdivision Tentative Plan.
AVO Marcola Meadows Final Master Plan June 2020
Preliminary Subdivision Application — City of Springfield Page 16
Response: This application involves a subdivision within the City limits. The lots created by this
application are in accordance with the Springfield Development Code (SDC). The above
standards are understood.
5.12-110 Tentative Plan Review
Tentative Plans are reviewed under Type II procedure.
Response: The Type II review process is understood.
5.12-115 Tentative Plan — General
Any residential land division shall conform to the following standards:
A. The lot/parcel dimensions shall conform to the minimum standards of this
Code. When lots/parcels are more than double the minimum area permitted
by the zoning district, the Director shall require that these lots/parcels be
arranged:
To allow redivision; and
To allow for the extension of streets to serve figure lots/parcels
Placement of structures on the larger lots/parcels shall be subject to
approval by the Director upon a determination that the potential
maximum density ofthe larger lot/parcel is noaimpaired. Iv order to
make this determination, the Director may require a Future
Development Plan as specified in Section 5.12-120E.
Response: This application involves a subdivision within the City limits. As illustrated on the
Preliminary Plans, the subdivision layout impacts the northern portion of the site
intended for the construction of single-family detached lots (Phases 1C-5). As shown, the
layout provides frontage on public roads to serve future lots and does not include large
properties which would allow for potential redivision (e.g. the large lots in the southern
portion of the site will remain intact).
Placement of structures on the larger properties on the subject site are subject to future
site design review. The site does not contain existing structures. Per the submittal
requirements, see the narrative response for Section 5.12-125 and Table 5, explaining the
Tentative Subdivision Plan and associated MDR density of the subject property.
B. Double frontage lots/parcels shall be avoided, unless necessary to prevent
access to residential development from collector and arterial streets or to
overcome specific topographic situations.
C. Panhandle lots/parcels shall comply with the standards specified in Sections
3.2-215 and 4.2-120A. Iv the case of multiple panhandles in Subdivisions,
construction of necessary utilities to serve all approved panhandle
lots/parcels shall occur prior m recording the Plat.
Response: This application does not create lots with panhandles. As shown on the Preliminary Plans,
there are 8lots with double frontage (e.g. within Phase IA, between N 301h Place and N
31" Street) necessary to prevent access from the Minor Collector street. The criteria are
met.
D. Block length for local streets is as specified in Section 4.2-115.
