Each apartment unit will be a 2-bedroom/2-bath floor plan offering an attractive size for various households. Cherry Springs Apartments will offer on-site property management, motor vehicle parking, attractive landscaping and open space, pedestrian circulation, and bike parking. Motor vehicle access will primarily occur from 48'" Street. The project includes extending B Street from the existing terminus through to 48'" Street. This will improve street connectivity for nearby residents providing easier access to the signalized intersection at 48'" Street and Main Street. The remaining existing local streets that terminate on the east side of the property will remain closed to motor vehicles except for emergency vehicle access between Beaver Street and C Street. The planned street improvements will provide safe and convenient access for Cherry Springs Apartments and help preserve the character of the adjacent residential neighborhoods. A new bicycle/pedestrian path will be developed on the east side of 48'" Street providing improved access and safety. 2.2 Property Location and Zoning Cherry Springs is located on the east side of 481" Street with easy access to Main Street and nearby commercial services. Refer to Exhibit A— Vicinity Mao and Exhibit B— Aerial Photograph. The Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) and the East Main Refinement Plan designate the subject property as Mixed Use Residential. Consistent with the plan designations, the subject property is zoned Mixed Use Residential MUR. The existing legal lot has frontage on both 48'" Street and Main Street. A future Partition application will be submitted to divide the property into two lots. Cherry Springs Apartments will retain frontage on 48'^ Street with the second lot having frontage on Main Street. 2.3 Existing Conditions The subject project is relatively flat with minor variations in grade. Refer to sheets P2 Existing Conditions- North and P3 Existing Conditions- South. There are numerous trees scattered throughout the site with the largest cluster near the northeast corner. Several trees are damaged and unhealthy. For information regarding the species and general condition of trees, refer to Exhibit J— Tree Cluster Locations. The subject property also contains grasses and obnoxious weeds. There are no identified Statewide Goal 5 natural features on the subject property. The subject property is within the mapped 99 -year Time of Travel Zone and is not subject to the Drinking Water Protection Overlay District' There is no indication of any sources of contaminants on the subject property such as underground storage tanks or prior hazardous materials handlers .2 ' City of Springfield Wellhead Protection Areas map (February 2008 delineations) 2 City of Springfield Wellhead Protection Areas map (Contaminant Source Inventory) Cherry Springs Apartments Page 5 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 God eosHCNSUow 2.4 Key Prior Land Use Decisions The subject property was annexed to the City of Springfield sometime between 1960 and 1969.3 The Metro Plan, adopted in 1982, designated the subject property as Mixed -Use Commercial (MUC). In April 1988, the City Council adopted the East Main Refinement Plan and the subject property was designated Mixed -Use 2A. The East Main Refinement Plan contained an adopted policy that all properties designated Mixed -Use 2A, "shall be legislatively rezoned to High Density Residential (HDR)." Consistent with the refinement plan policy, the City's zoning map was changed and the subject property was zoned High Density Residential (HDR). In January 2020, the Springfield City Council approved a privately -initiated amendment to the East Main Refinement Plan to allow the subject property to either retain its HDR zoning or be rezoned to Mixed Use Residential (MUR) 4 At the request of the property owner, the subject property was subsequently rezoned to MUR. 2.5 Land Use and Development Requirements This is a request for Site Plan Review approval according to the Type II procedures listed in Springfield Development Code (SDC) 5.1-130 and the Site Plan Review approval criteria at SDC 5.17-125. View of property looking southeast towards Main Street. 3 City of Springfield Annexation History map dated February 2014. 4 Springfield Ordinance No. 6410, City File No. 811-19-000243TYP4 Cherry Springs Apartments Page 6 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 flBISHow NG TPIMPPL'iCN APPROVAL CRITE This section provides the applicable approval criteria for reviewing the proposed application followed by findings demonstrating compliance. Springfield Development Code provisions are shown below in bold italics. SDC 5.17-125 Criteria The Director shall approve or approve with conditions: a Type II Site Plan Review application upon determining that approval criteria in Subsections A. through E., below have been satisfied... A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan. The site is zoned Mixed Use Residential (MUR) consistent with the Mixed Use designation on the Metro Plan diagram and in the East Main Street Refinement Plan. There are no proposed changes to the zoning for the site. 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, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Development & Public Works Director or a utility provider shall determine capacity issues. Approval of this proposal would allow for construction of a 129 -unit multi -family residential complex consisting of 16 two-story apartment buildings along with a leasing office, driveways and parking areas, site landscaping, open spaces, and vegetated stormwater management facilities on about 7.3 gross acres. For all public improvements, the applicant will 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 will also provide construction inspection services. Water and Electricity Improvements Per SDC 4.3-130, each development area is 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. The applicant proposes to connect to the existing public water line located in 48'" Street in two locations looping the public water system through the development. Multiple fire hydrants will be installed throughout the development to provide fire protection to all buildings and structures. Cherry Springs Apartments Page 7 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 God eosHCNSUow SUB Water advises that all non-residential domestic and irrigation services, and all residential water services with lawn sprinkler systems, require a reduced pressure backflow assembly. All fire services require a minimum of a double check detector assembly with a detector meter on a bypass. The assemblies are required to be installed above ground and adjacent to the water service. The applicant will contact SUB Water Division's Backflow Prevention Specialist at (541) 726-2396 to discuss the backflow prevention and fire protection service requirements. Per SDC 4.3-125, wherever possible all utility lines shall be placed underground. Additionally, vaults and transformers for utility connections along the street frontage should be screened from view or placed out of sight at the side or rear of buildings. There are existing overhead power lines along the western boundary of the subject property as shown on sheets P2 Existing Conditions- North and P3 Existing Conditions- South. The overhead wires on 48" Street are backbone distribution lines and are not required to be placed underground. One overhead power pole will need to be relocated to allow a new driveway on 48'" St. Within the development site, all new utility lines will be placed underground. As shown on sheet C7 Utility Plan, the existing public water and sanitary sewer lines can be extended to adequately serve the proposed development. Sanitary Sewer Per SDC 4.3-105.A, the applicant proposes to install sanitary sewers to serve the new development and to connect the development to existing mains. Additionally, the location of new sanitary sewer lines will provide sufficient access for maintenance. The existing public sanitary sewer lines at the end of B Street, Beaver Street, and C Street will be extended to provide gravity service to the development site. The applicant will make any field adjustments as necessary during construction to utilize existing connection points that may not be located exactly as shown on the plans. Please refer to sheet C7 Utility Plan. Per Chapter 3.02.4.A of the City's EDSPM and Section 3.4 of the City of Eugene Stormwater Management Manual, solid waste storage areas shall be covered and hydraulically isolated from potential stormwater runoff and directed to the sanitary sewer system. To meet this requirement, the applicant is proposing to construct two trash & recycle enclosures that are covered, hydraulically isolated, and equipped with floor drains that are plumbed to the sanitary sewer system. Refer to sheets P4 Site Plan and C7 Utility Plan. Stormwater Management (Quantity) Per SDC 4.3-110.B, 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. 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. 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. Cherry Springs Apartments Page 8 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 6o�eisHow To comply with Sections 4.3-110.D & E, the applicant proposes to direct stormwater runoff from the site into a series of infiltration planters, infiltration rain gardens, and surface infiltration facilities prior to discharging the stormwater into the public system. The stormwater facilities are designed and sized to make the stormwater discharge from the site mimic pre-existing conditions. Stormwater from the site currently drains generally from east to west and ultimately into the existing drainage swale located on the west side of 48" Street. The existing drainage pattern will be matched post construction. Please refer to sheets C5 Grading & Drainage Plan - North, C6 Grading & Drainage Plan- South and L4 Stormwater Planter Calculations. The stormwater drainage study prepared for Cherry Springs Apartments concluded: "The Cherry Springs Apartments will have no negative impacts on the existing drainage patterns or conditions within and adjacent to the project The following appendices include all water quality and quantity calculations, preliminary related construction plans, and drainage exhibit. Water quality treatment through the use of vegetative methods, designed per the City of Eugene SWMM, will treat all runoff from asphalt pavement. All Stormwater runoff from the site will be infiltrated into the well -draining onsite soils, eliminating adverse downstream impacts due to increase runoff and also preventing adverse impacts to the quality of downstream surface waters. Full treatment of all Stormwater runoff leaving the site will occur prior to discharge. "5 For further information, please see Exhibit H - Stormwater Drainage Report prepared by i.e. Engineering. Stormwater Management (Quality) Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield has obtained 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). 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. 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. 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 5 Stormwater Drainage Study, Cherry Springs Apartments, page 6. Cherry Springs Apartments Page 9 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 God eosHCNSUow NG include the SDC, the City's Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual and the Stormwater Facilities MasterPlan (SFMP). As required in SDC 4.3-110.E, "a development shall be required to employ drainage management practices approved by the Public Works Director and consistent with the Metro Plan policies and the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual." Section 3.01 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. Sections 3.02 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. As stated previously, the proposed stormwater drainage for Cherry Springs Apartments will comply with federal, state and local requirements. Please refer to Exhibit H — Stormwater Drainage Study, and sheets C5 Grading & Drainage Plan- North, C6 Gradin & Drainage Plan - South and L4 Stormwater Planter Calculations. Prior to Final Site Plan approval, the applicant will provide an Operations & Maintenance Plan to the City for review to ensure the long-term maintenance and operation of the proposed Stormwater System, consistent with maintenance criteria required by EDSPM 3.03.1. The plan will designate maintenance responsibility for operating and maintaining the system to the property owner of the site. Streets and Traffic Safety Controls SDC 4.2-105.G.2 requires that whenever a proposed land division or development will increase traffic on the City street system and that development has unimproved street frontage abutting a fully improved street, that street frontage shall be fully improved to City specifications. Along the western site frontage, 481" Street is developed with two travel lanes with street lights on the east side and a ditch on the west side. The street does not have a bike lane, street trees, or a sidewalk along the subject property's frontage. Due to the existence of the drainage ditch on the west side of the road, it is not feasible to provide full street improvements within the existing public right-of-way. The applicant proposes to design a multi -modal bike/pedestrian path on the east side of the 48'" Street ROW. The applicant proposes to install new street trees along the 48th Street frontage in accordance with SDC 4.4-105.8.2. The applicant is proposing to place the street trees close to the overhead power lines in the existing public right-of-way. The applicant proposes smaller street tree species so that when they mature, they still fit under the overhead power lines. Cherry Springs Apartments Page 10 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 God eosHCNSUow NG Based on city street connectivity standards, the project will include the extension of B Street through to 481h Street. The B Street improvements will comply with local street standards. The proposed transportation facilities will be adequate to accommodate the anticipated vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns generated by the development in a safe and efficient manner. Please refer to sheets P4 Site Plan, P5 Street Profiles, C8 B St Profile, C9 48'h St Profile- North, C10 481h St Profile- South, and Exhibit F— Cherry Springs Adjacent Local Streets. C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.

The extension of "B" Street will provide connectivity with the existing residential area to the east of the subject property. Per a request from the fire department, the applicant proposes removable bollards at the existing terminus of Beaver Street and "C" Street allowing for emergency vehicle access. The western end of "A" Street is a private street and is not proposed to be extended or provide for emergency access. For further information, please refer to Exhibit F— Cherry Springs — Adiacent Local Streets In accordance with SDC 4.2-120.C, site driveways are 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 City's Standard Construction Specifications. Ingress -egress points are planned to facilitate traffic and pedestrian safety, avoid congestion, and minimize curb cuts on public streets. The applicant is proposing three new ADA -compliant driveways. One on 481h Street and two on the new section of B Street. The driveways will each consist of a vertical face curb, gutter and sidewalk. Each driveway will be 24' wide with an 18' driveway throat. The proposed site driveways meet the City's dimensional requirements for multi -family residential driveway approaches and separation spacing from local street intersections. The proposed site plan provides for pedestrian connections from the multi -modal path on 48'h Street to an interior sidewalk system. The interior sidewalks provide safe and convenient connections between the parking areas, the common areas, and dwelling units. Cherry Springs Apartments Page 17 of 19 Site Plan Review Written Narrative January 22, 2021 God eosHow Due to the existing right-of-way on 48'" Street and the location of the 48'" Street channel along the west side of the street, the applicant proposes a multi -modal path for both bikes and pedestrians versus the standard city street design of an on -street bike lane and separated sidewalk. The multi -modal path will provide a safe and convenient way for bicyclists and pedestrians to use 48'h Street as a route to nearby commercial services, areas of employment, and other neighborhood activity areas. Please refer to sheets P4 Site Plan, P5 Street Profiles, C8 B St. Profile, C9 48'h St. Profile - North, and C10 48'h St. Profile- South. 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. The subject property does not contain any steep slopes. To investigate the soil and geologic conditions, Branch Engineering Inc. was hired to perform a geotechnical engineering investigation at the subject property. The investigation included site research, field exploration and testing, and data analysis as well as conclusions and recommended geotechnical design parameters for the project. Please refer to Exhibit I- Geotechnical Investigation Report by Branch Engineering. The report, dated November 12, 2020, concluded: 'Based on our field observations, subsurface explorations, and data analyses, we conclude that the site is geologic and geotechnically suitable for the proposed development provided that the recommendations of this report are incorporated into the design and construction of the project. Our investigation did not reveal any specific site features or subsurface conditions that would impede the proposed design and construction of the prgec['4 The Natural Resources Study, the National Wetlands Inventory, the Springfield Wetland Inventory Map, Wellhead Protection Overlay and the list of Historic Landmark Sites do not identify any known natural features or resources on the property that warrant protection. The City of Springfield Water Quality Limited Watercourse Map does not show any watercourses on the subject property.' On the west side of 48'h Street the map indicates that the 48'h Street Channel is a "Tributary to Water Quality Limited Watercourse". The map also indicates that the subject property does not contain any areas designated by FEMA as in the Floodplain or Floodway. the applicant proposes to direct stormwater runoff from the site into a series of stormwater infiltration planters and infiltration rain gardens prior to discharging the stormwater into the public system. The stormwater facilities will function to make the stormwater discharge from the site mimic pre-existing conditions.
