STAFF REPORT and FINDINGS OF FACT
TYPE IV—LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENT TO THE SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE
CASE NUMBER: Springfield 811-21-000210-TYP4; Lane County File NO. 509-PA21-05870
HEARING DATE: December 13, 2021
REPORT DATE: December 20, 2021
PROJECT NAME: Floodplain Overlay District Code Amendments
AFFECTED AREA: Properties within the Floodplain Overlay Zone
I. NATURE OF THE REQUEST
The City of Springfield seeks approval of amendments to the Springfield Development Code
(SDC) Sections 3.3-400 Floodplain Overlay District and 6.1-100 Definitions to incorporate federal
requirements as shown in the State of Oregon Model Flood Hazard Management Ordinance
(effective October 2020). Updating Springfield's Development Code to align with current federal
requirements will allow the City to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP).
II. BACKGROUND
The City of Springfield participates in the NFIP which is run by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency(FEMA).The objectives of the NFIP are to: (1) ensure that new buildings
will be free from flood damage; (2) prevent new development from increasing flood damages on
existing properties; and (3)ensure the natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain are
maintained. NFIP was created by the U.S. Congress in 1968 to help minimize the costs of disaster
relief and reduce the loss of life and property caused by flooding. Participation in the NFIP
allows members of the Springfield community to access federally backed flood insurance. Flood
insurance is required for federally backed loans to purchase or build structures located within
the floodplain. Participation also ensures the City remains eligible for Federal disaster assistance
in identified floodplain areas.
Participation in the NFIP requires communities to adopt and enforce a floodplain management
ordinance that regulates development within their floodplain. SDC 3.3-400 includes the City of
Springfield's regulating language.To ensure that a community is in compliance with FEMA
requirements, a flood insurance coordinator periodically makes Community Assistance Visits
(CAVs) to participating communities to evaluate their local floodplain management program in
relation to the regulations that govern the NFIP. In Oregon, the Department of Land
Conservation and Development(DLCD) conducts these visits on behalf of FEMA.The City of
Springfield's most recent CAV visit resulted in the City being required to update its floodplain
code provisions to meet current minimum standards for continued participation in the NFIP.
The City of Springfield entered into the NFIP in 1985. Floodplain regulations were adopted as
Article 27 (Floodplain Special Purpose District) of the Comprehensive Zoning Code through
Ordinance 5304 on September 3, 1985.The Springfield Development Code (SDC)was adopted
by Ordinance 5326 on May 5, 1986, and the floodplain management regulations were included
as Article 27. FEMA revised its floodplain management regulations after the SDC was adopted,
which necessitated that the City adopt revised regulations consistent with FEMA provisions by
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 2 of 11
April 1, 1987 in order remain eligible for continued participation in the NFIP.These updated
regulations were adopted by Ordinance 5366 on March 16, 1987,which repealed Article 27 and
replaced it with a revised Article 27. Ordinance 5366 also amended Article 2 (Definitions) to
comply with required Federal definitions for the NFIP.
The floodplain management regulations of Article 27 were revised seven more times up through
1999; most amendments were very minor, such as changes to the dates of the regulating
floodplain maps or cross-referencing other code sections. Ordinance 5858, adopted June 5,
1997, made specific amendments to the floodplain regulations to again bring the City into
compliance with current NFIP requirements by adopting several additional provisions including
permitting procedures, substantial damage inspections, and enforcement language. SDC was
reformatted through Ordinance 6206, adopted September 17, 2007; this resulted in the
Floodplain Overlay District being codified as Section 3.3-400 of the SDC. Staff is unaware of any
amendments to Section 3.3-400 Floodplain Overlay District that have occurred since that time.
III. SITE INFORMATION
Affected properties are those which are located within the City of Springfield's Floodplain
Overlay District.This includes 938 tax lots.The Floodplain Overlay District encompasses areas
within Springfield's Urban Growth Boundary(UGB) along the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers,
as well as around other streams and channels within the City.
IV. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS AND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
Under SDC 5.6-110, amendments of the Development Code text are reviewed under a Type IV
procedure as a legislative action.Type IV procedures, as defined in SDC 5.1-140, require a
review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and adoption of ordinance by City
Council. As the floodplain regulations apply outside the city limits, per the Urban Transition
Agreement with Lane County, the Lane County Board must co-adopt the code amendments for
them to apply outside the city limits.The Planning Director for the City of Springfield initiated
the development code amendments on August 4, 2021 on behalf of the City of Springfield as is
allowed under SDC 5.6-105 B.
In accordance with the City of Springfield Citizen Involvement Program, the Committee for
Citizen Involvement (CCI) reviewed and approved a Citizen Engagement Strategy for this
proposal on August 3, 2021. Per this strategy and other requirements (as noted)the City has
completed the following:
• Submitted notice of the proposed amendments to the Department of Land
Conservation and Development(DLCD) on August 4, 2021, 35 days in advance of the
first evidentiary hearing as required by ORS 197.610(1) and OAR 660-018-0020.
• Mailed notice of the September 8, 2021 Planning Commission Hearing and December
13, 2021 City Council Joint Hearing with the Lane County Board of Commissioners to
property owners who own property within the Floodplain Overlay District on August 18,
2021.
• Emailed notice of the proposed amendments to stakeholder groups per the Citizen
Engagement Strategy on August 23, 2021.
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 3 of 11
• As required by SDC 5.1-140 C, provided agency referrals to the Development Review
Committee regarding the proposed amendments via email on August 23, 2021
(Springfield Utility Board Water and Electric Division Directors, Northwest Natural,
CenturyLink, Comcast, Rainbow Water and Fire District, Emerald People's Utility District,
and Willamalane Park and Recreation).
• Published notice of the proposed amendments in the Register Guard on August 25, 2021
as required by SDC 5.1-140.
• Posted notice of the proposed amendments and the dates of the public hearings on the
City of Springfield website which routinely posts public hearing notices.
• Social media post about the floodplain development code updates as part of the
National Preparedness Month outreach campaign. Post published Sunday, September
26, 2021
• Creation of a floodplain webpage that includes project information. httpsellsprinfield-
�r, ov/city/development-public-works/floodplain-management/. Webpage was first
available October 5, 2021 and is updated periodically.
Planning Commission public hearing
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 8, 2021 and left the record open
through October 15, 2021 for additional comment to be included in their consideration.
(Comments received after October 15, 2021 will be provided to the City Council and Board of
County Commissioners for their public hearing).
There were multiple inquiries about the proposed code language and the location of the
floodplain. Two people submitted written testimony prior to the public hearing. Mr. Finley
expressed concerns with 1)the requirements for structures partially located in the floodplain
must meet the floodplain development standards and 2) requirements pertaining to the
installation of new electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and other equipment. He stated that the
requirements were too much for someone who was 88 and on a fixed income.
Mr. Carpenter requests that an applicant be able to obtain a variance when the Floodplain
Overlay Zone is based on an out-of-date map when conditions on the ground have changed to
the extent that the floodplain map is no longer accurate. He also requests that instead of having
to show an "exception hardship" that the applicant only be required to show a "hardship".
The code provisions cited by these two people are required as put forth by the state's model
code in order to maintain compliance with federal requirements for NFIP participation. Findings
have been added to address these comments under Statewide Planning Goal 10.
For this request,the Planning Commission made a recommendation to the Springfield City
Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners which are the Approval Authorities for the
final local decision (SDC 5.1-140 F.). Per the Urban Transition Intergovernmental Agreement and
SDC 5.6-115 B., development code amendments which impact areas outside the City limits must
be co-adopted by the Lane County Board of Commissioners in order to apply to urbanizable
areas within the Springfield UGB. Decisions of the Springfield City Council and Lane County
Board of Commissioners may be appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals within 21
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 4 of 11
calendar days of the date the decision becomes final as specified in ORS 197.830 (SDC 5.1-140
G.).
City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners
The Lane County Board of Commissioners conducted a first reading of Ordinance 21-08 on
November 30, 2021. The Springfield City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners held
a joint public hearing on the amendments to Springfield's floodplain regulations on December
13, 2021. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Register-Guard on November 23 and
mailed to the parties of record and those who had requested notice.The City sent out a media
release that resulted in articles in the Springfield Chamber of Commerce newsletter and the
Chronicle and was posted on front page of city's website. The Springfield Board of Realtors
submitted written comment the afternoon of the public hearing. The Realtors expressed
concern that the City is requiring more free board clearance than required for participation in
the NFIP. They are also concerned that the elevation increase for replacements in mobile home
parks and subdivisions would split neighborhood fabric and drive up costs. The City is not
adopting standards more than the minimum required by the NFIP in either of these areas.
V. APPROVAL CRITERIA& FINDINGS
The request is subject to approval criteria in SDC 5.6-115, which covers adoption or amendment
of refinement plans, plan districts and the development code.The following approval criteria
are listed under SDC 5.6-115:
A. In reaching a decision on the adoption or amendment of refinement plans and this
Code's text, the City Council shall adopt findings that demonstrate conformance to the following:
1. The Metro Plan;
2. Applicable State statutes;and
3. Applicable State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules.
Findings showing that the proposed amendments to the development code meet the applicable
criteria of approval appear in regular text below. Direct citations or summaries of criteria appear
in italics and precede or are contained within the relevant findings.
Conformance with the Metro Plan
The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) includes policy direction
relevant to floodplain regulations. Per SDC 3.3-100, references for the Floodplain Overlay
District are contained in the Environmental Resources Element of the Metro Plan.The following
policies from the Natural Hazards subsection apply to this request:
Y.30 Except as otherwise allowed according to Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)
regulations, development shall be prohibited in floodways if it could result in an increased flood
level. The floodway is the channel of a river or other water course and the adjacent land area
that must be reserved to discharge a one-percent-chance flood in any given year."
Finding 1: The amendments bring the City of Springfield's floodplain regulations into
compliance with current FEMA requirements for circumstances under which development is
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 5 of 11
allowed in the floodway.This includes requirements applicable to garages and appurtenant
(accessory) structures when proposed to be located within the floodway(SDC 3.3.430(13)(2)(a)(i)
and 3.3.430(13)(3)(f)(i)).
Finding 2: The amended standards specifically require the City of Springfield to review all
development permit applications to determine if development is proposed to be located in the
floodway(SDC 3.3.425(C)(1)(c)). If so, the amended standards require the City to assure certain
provisions are met as described in Findings 4-6.
Finding 3: Under the amendments, the City requires applicants to obtain a Conditional Letter
of Map Revisions (CLOMR)from FEMA prior to issuing a floodplain development permit for
development that proposes encroachment in the floodway which would increase the base flood
elevation (the flood level) per SDC3.3.425(C)(3)(c)(i)(aa). A CLOMR is FEMA's comment on a
proposed project that would affect hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of a flooding source
and thus result in the modification of an existing floodway.
Finding 4: The standards prohibit fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other
development within the floodway unless an applicant obtains certification from a registered civil
engineer demonstrating through specified studies that the proposed encroachment will not
increase flood levels during a base flood, or the applicant has applied for and been approved for
a CLOMR (SDC 3.3.430(13)(4)(a)(i)-(ii)).
Finding 5: The amendments remove an exception from the currently adopted standards
which allows existing manufactured homes and other structures already in the floodway to be
replaced if located in the same site and of the same size without certification.This exception is
not compliant with current FEMA requirements.
Finding 6: The amendments maintain a higher standard that prohibits subdivision and
partitioning of land for residential purposes if land is located entirely in the floodway(SDC
3.3.430(13)(4)(c)).
Finding 7: The standards maintain approval criteria prohibiting the City from issuing a
variance within the floodway if any increase in flood levels during base flood discharge would
result (SDC 3.3.440(C)(3)).
Y.31 When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local
regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to life and
property. Within the UGB, development should result in in filling of partially developed land. . .
Finding 8: In this case "floodway fringe" is interpreted by the City to mean the floodplain.
The Metro Plan defines floodplain as, "The area adjoining a river, stream, or watercourse that is
subject to 100-year flooding.A 100-year flood has a one-percent chance of occurring in any one
year as a result of periods of higher-than-normal rainfall or stream flows, high winds, rapid
snowmelt, natural stream blockages, tsunamis, or combination thereof."
Finding 9: The purpose of the Floodplain Overlay District is to control development in the
floodplain, including the floodway, in such a way as to minimize potential danger to life and
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 6 of 11
property. Bringing SDC 3.3-400's provisions into compliance with current NFIP minimum
requirements will allow the City to better protect areas within the floodplain from flood hazard.
The amendments add or update standards which specify how development within the
floodplain must be built.These standards, such as anchoring, elevation, floodproofing, and flood
opening requirements, are intended to ensure development in the floodplain is better able to
withstand the impacts of flooding to minimize the potential danger during a flood event.
Finding 10: The amendments do not prevent in-filling of partially developed land within the
UGB, rather, they require that development be done in a specified manner and meet certain
standards when done in the Floodplain Overlay District.
Conformance with Applicable State Statutes
ORS 227.186 requires local governments to mail individual notice ('Ballot Measure 56 Notice') to
real property owners of pending land use changes that could limit or prohibit previously allowed
uses. This notice must be mailed at least 20 days but not more than 40 days before the first
evidentiary hearing on the proposed ordinance changes.
Finding 11: On August 18. 2021, the City mailed Ballot Measure 56 notice for the first hearing
on September 8, 2021 to all owners of property within the Floodplain Overlay District, in
compliance with ORS 227.186. This notice also included the date and time of the public hearing
before the City Council and Board of County Commissioners.
ORS 197.610 and OAR 660-018-0020 require local jurisdictions to submit proposed land use
regulation changes to the Department of Land Conservation and Development.
Finding 12: As noted in Section IV, the City provided notice of the proposed amendments to
DLCD on August 4, 2021, 35 days in advance of the first evidentiary hearing in conformance with
ORS 197.610(1) and OAR 660-018-0020.
ORS 195.305 requires public entities to provide just compensation to property owners when
enacting land use regulations that restrict the residential use of private real property or a
farming or forest practice and that reduce the fair market value of the property.
Finding 13: The amendments do restrict development under certain circumstances in the
Floodplain Overlay District, but do not require compensation due to the restriction of real
property because they satisfy two exceptions noted in that statute. First,the amendments
satisfy the exception under ORS 197.305(3)(c), which provides that the requirement does not
apply to land use regulations that "are required to comply with federal law." The amendments
are required by federal law to comply with the FEMA NFIP minimum standards for participation.
Second, the amendments satisfy the exception under ORS 195.305(3)(b), which exempts
payment of just compensation when the regulations "restrict or prohibit activities for the
protection of public health and safety." Flood hazard areas are subject to periodic inundation
which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, and other adverse
effects on the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed amendments mitigate
these adverse effects and therefore are necessary to protect public health and safety.
Conformance with Applicable State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 7 of 11
Statewide Planning Goal 7-Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards:Requires local
governments to protect people and property from natural hazards, including flooding. In part, it
requires local governments to adopt comprehensive plans that reduce risk from natural hazards.
Finding 14: The Metro Plan contains a section entitled Natural Hazards which covers
protection of life and property from natural hazards and disasters. Findings 1-10 detail how the
amendments comply with the Metro Plan's policies for reducing risk from flood hazard.
Finding 15: Goal 7 includes a "safe harbor" provision based on the implementation of the
minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program: "Local governments will be
deemed to comply with Goal 7 for coastal and riverine flood hazards by adopting and
implementing local floodplain regulations that meet the minimum National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP)requirements."The amendments make changes to the SDC that are required to
bring the City's regulations into compliance with current minimum requirements for
participation in the NFIP.The amendments are intended to align SDC 3.3-400 more closely with
the state's model floodplain ordinance,which has been approved by FEMA.
Finding 16: The Goal 7 Guidelines encourage local governments to consider additional
provisions that go beyond the safe harbor approach: "Local governments should consider
measures that exceed the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)". The amendments retain all
currently adopted higher standards. They also include new provisions that go beyond the
minimum requirements of the model floodplain ordinance. These amendments regulate the
storage of environmentally hazardous materials in crawl spaces and garages. They require an
agreement between the City and owners of recreational vehicle parks or recreational vehicle
storage to ensure compliance with the City's floodplain regulations and to create an emergency
plan specifying how flood warnings will be received and how vehicles, trailers and occupants will
be safely evacuated in the event of a flood.
Finding 17: The Goal 7 Guidelines also state, "Local governments should give special
attention to emergency access when considering development in identified hazard areas."The
amendments retain adopted standards which require ingress and egress on streets for
emergency vehicles and services during flood events, and also retain adopted standards which
prohibit any new street from being at an elevation of less than one foot below the base flood
height to ensure streets are drivable during a base flood event(SDC 3.3.430(A)(6)).
Finding 18: The Goal 7 Guidelines also state, "When reviewing development requests in high
hazard areas, local governments should require site-specific reports, appropriate for the level
and type of hazard(e.g., hydrologic reports, geotechnical reports or other scientific or
engineering reports)prepared by a licensed professional. Such reports should evaluate the risk
to the site as well as the risk the proposed development may pose to other properties."The
amendments remove an exception that allowed structures located within the floodplain to be
replaced without a study if on the same site and of the same size. Removal of this exception
now requires a site-specific report be generated for all development proposed in the floodway,
which is a high hazard area.The amendments add a requirement to the Floodways section that
requires hydrologic and hydraulic analyses be performed to ensure proposed encroachments in
the floodway would not result in an increase in flood levels (SDC 3.3.430 (13)(4)(a)(i)).The
amendments also add language to multiple sections specifying that information and certification
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 8 of 11
must be provided by licensed professionals, such as in the provisions for Non-residential
Construction where the language of"registered professional" is added (SDC 3.3.430
(13)(3)(c)(i)(ca)).
Statewide Planning Goal 9-Economic Development:Requires local governments to maintain a
working inventory of buildable lands suitable for economic growth and opportunity. In part, the
comprehensive plan must, "Provide for at least an adequate supply of sites of suitable sizes,
types, locations, and service levels for a variety of industrial and commercial uses consistent with
plan policies."
Finding 19: The amendments are more restrictive in terms of what development is allowed
within the floodway; however, the City does not count areas within the floodway in its industrial
or commercial lands inventory. Outside of the floodway within other areas of the Floodplain
Overlay District, the amendments do not regulate if development can occur, but rather how
development is done. These new regulations add specific standards for tanks (SDC 3.3.430
(A)(5); for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and other equipment (SDC 3.3.430 (A)(4)(a)); and
require conformance with floodplain regulations when converting a building to a commercial or
industrial use. These design requirements do not have a material effect on the size or type of
development allowed. Thus, the amendments do not reduce the development potential of
Springfield's industrial or commercial land inventories in a manner inconsistent with Goal 9.
Statewide Planning Goal 10-Housing:Requires local governments to inventory buildable lands
that are suitable and available for residential use. Cities must develop plans "in a manner that
insures the provision of appropriate types and amounts of land within urban growth
boundaries."The amount of land planned for residential development should be adequate for a
20-year supply.
Finding 20: The amendments are more restrictive in terms of what development is allowed
within the floodway; however, the City does not count areas within the floodway in its housing
lands inventory. Outside of the floodway within other areas of the Floodplain Overlay District,
the amendments do not regulate if development can occur, but rather how development is
done.The new regulations add specific standards for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and other
equipment(SDC 3.3.430 (A)(4)(a)); specifically require that a manufactured dwelling park
greater than 5 acres in size establish a base flood elevation if it is not already known; affects the
height at which a manufactured dwelling must be elevated (SDC 3.3.430 (A)(8)(b) and SDC
3.3.430 (b)(3)(d)); changes anchoring standards for manufactured dwellings (SDC 3.3.430 (A)(2)
and 3.3.430 (B)(3)(d)); creates design requirements specific to garages and appurtenant
structures (SDC 3.3.430 (13)(2) and SDC 3.3.430 (13)(3)(f); and require conformance with
floodplain regulations when converting a building to a residential use. These design
requirements do not have a material effect on the density of residential development. Thus, the
amendments do not reduce the development potential of Springfield's housing land inventories
in a manner inconsistent with Goal 10.
Finding 21: In his written testimony, William Carpenter identifies a Statewide Planning Goal to
encourage Affordable Housing as the criterion he addresses in support of revisions to the
variance language. He notes two problems with the variance section. One is that an out-of-date
FIRM shows an "Impossible Floodway" exists where the past open drainage channels have been
filled in and their flows directed into underground piping systems that no longer present a
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 9 of 11
channeled pathway for floodwaters to reach the property. The example he provides is actually
an area of special flood hazard, Zone A, rather than a floodway. The process that FEMA has set
up to address this situation which is referenced in the code language is the Letter of Map
Revision. As stated in the definition, LOMRs are "based on the implementation of physical
measures that affect the hydrologic or hydraulic characteristics of a flooding source and thus
result in the modification of the existing regulatory floodway. . ." The LOMR process
appropriately addresses the situation described and therefore no changes are needed to the
Variance Section.
Finding 22: The second problem Mr. Carpenter identified in the Variance section is the
"exceptional hardship" language, asserting that it should be amended to just "hardship". While
the City is in need of affordable housing and supports the implementation of Goal 10, it seeks to
do so while maintaining compliance with federal requirements. The "exceptional hardship"
language is from the model code. Not including that language could result non-compliance with
the National Flood Insurance Program requirements which could eventually lead to the loss of
ability to access the flood insurance necessary to obtain a federally backed mortgage when
purchasing a house in the regulatory floodplain. That outcome would have a much broader and
long-lasting negative impact on the ability of households to purchase homes in all areas of the
community planned for residential development.
Finding 23: Joseph Finley submitted written testimony. Although he didn't cite an approval
criterion, he cited that certain requirements are too much for an 80-year-old on fixed income.
The most relevant criterion is the Statewide Planning Goal for Housing. The two requirements
Mr. Finely identifies (1—require that new electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and other
equipment be installed to resist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and stresses, including the
effects of buoyancy, and 2—specify that structures partially located in the floodplain comply
with the Development Standards) are minimum requirements of the model code. As with the
Finding above, compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program requirements enables
community members to access the flood insurance required to obtain a federally backed
mortgage when purchasing a house in the regulatory floodplain,thus allowing homeowners to
purchase homes in areas of the community planned for residential development.
Finding 24: The Springfield Board of Realtors submitted testimony that two provisions would
increase housing costs. The Realtors stated that the City is requiring two feet of free board
clearance which is more than required by the NFIP. For residential construction, the code
amendments do not change the existing requirement to elevate the lowest floor to one foot
above the Base Flood Elevation (one foot of free board). In these situations,the City is not
requiring two feet of free board, nor is it requiring a height beyond what is required by the
model code. In areas where the Base Flood Elevation is unknown (unnumbered A zones), the
model code does require that the development proposal be a minimum of two feet above the
highest adjacent grade to be reasonably safe from flooding. This safety measure may increase
development costs, but is necessary for the City to conform with the requirements of the NFIP.
Finding 25: The Realtors' second issue involves the new requirement that replacement
manufactured dwellings in existing Mobile Home Parks and Subdivisions be elevated in
conformance with the requirements for new manufactured dwellings. The City agrees that this
requirement may increase costs and result in the replacement dwellings being elevated higher
Ordinance No.6434
Exhibit A, Page 10 of 11
than their neighbors, but it is a requirement of the model code and therefore will ensure
Springfield's continued participation in the NFIP. It will also enable the purchasers of these new
homes access to federally backed mortgages should the owners need to finance the purchase of
replacement dwellings.
Statewide Planning Goal 12- Transportation:Requires jurisdictions to create a transportation
system that supports a variety of transportation modes so as not to limit residents in the way
they can access various aspects of their community. The Transportation Planning Rule(OAR 660-
012-0060)implements Goal 12.
Finding 26: OAR 660-012-0060 requires a local government to establish mitigation
measures if an amendment to a land use regulation would "significantly affect an existing or
planned transportation facility."Subsections (1)(a)-(c)determine whether the requested land
use regulations amendments significantly affect a transportation facility.
Finding 27: A land use regulation amendment "significantly affects" transportation under
Subsection 1(a) if it "Change[s]the functional classification of an existing or planned
transportation facility(exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan)."The
amendments do not change any functional classification under OAR 66-012-0060(1)(a).
Finding 28: A land use regulation amendment "significantly affects" transportation under
Subsection 1(b) if it "Change[s]standards implementing a functional classification system."The
amendments do not change the City's standards for implementing its functional classification
system under OAR 66-012-0060(1)(b).
Finding 29: Under Subsection (1)(c), a land use regulation amendment "significantly affects"
transportation if it results in (A) types or levels of travel or access inconsistent with the functional
classification of a transportation facility; (e)degrades the performance of a transportation
facility such that it would not meet performance standards identified in the TSP or
comprehensive plan; or(C)degrades the performance of a transportation facility that is
otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards in the TSP or comprehensive plan.
To determine whether the amendments "significantly affect" a transportation facility within the
meaning of(1)(c) a local government should compare the most traffic-generative use reasonably
allowed in the current zone with the most traffic-generative use reasonably allowed in the new
zone.The amendments to the Floodplain Overlay District do not change the underlying zoning
districts or materially change the uses that are allowed outright, conditionally allowed, or
prohibited. Accordingly, the amendments do not change the most traffic-generative uses
reasonably allowed on impacted properties and therefore do not result in any of the effects
described under(A)-(C).
Finding 30: The amendments to the code will not "significantly affect" an existing or
planned transportation facility under OAR 660-012-0060(1)(a), (b), or(c) and thus complies with
OAR 660-012-0060 and Goal 12 requirements.
VI. CONCLUSION
Based upon the evidence above and the criteria of SDC 5.6-115 for approving amendments to
the Springfield Development Code, the text amendments to SDC 3.3-400 and SDC 6.1-100 are
consistent with these criteria.

Legislative Version of
Amendments to the Springfield Development Code
Section 3.3-400 Floodplain Overlay District to Incorporate Federal
Requirements
AMENDMENTS
Section 3.3-400 of the Springfield Development Code (SDC) has been re-organized to more
closely match the structure of the Oregon Model Hazard Ordinance (version October 2020) that
was developed to incorporate requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The recommended amendments are shown in legislative format (deleted text with strike-thru red
font and new text with double underline red font). For ease of review, this legislative format
does not show where code language was moved from one place to another. Commentary is
shown in purple italics font, preceding the text to which it is referring; commentary is provided
for explanatory purposes and is not adopted as code.
Commentary,- The existing structure of Section .3.3-400 is shown in purple. A table of contents
outlining the new structure of the Floodplain Overlay District section will be added(shown in
red) to match the layout used in the upcoming Development Code updates, l'hroughout,
numbering has also been formatted to match the upcoming Development Code updates.

Commentary,- Moves Section 3,3-435 to Subsection (D) of this Section 3,3,425 and renames to
better align with layout of model code, Subsection A. is reworded to match required language
from model code. Changes require City to now make damage inspections for any event, natural
or other causes, not just post-flood. Wording in Subsection C. is updated to accurately reflect
timing of reporting damage, A determination of Substantial Improvement(which includes a
determination of Substantial Damage) triggers requirements for the structure to be brought into
compliance with current code requirements, including the development standards of Section
3,3,430, This means a property owner wishing to substantially improve a structure within the
Floodplain Overlay District will need to comply with the floodplain development standards,

Development Permit (which is required by the Development Code) and Laud Drainage and
Alteration Permit(which is required by the Municipal Code). Updated language in this Section
.3.3.445 focuses on enforcement provisions for the Floodplain Development Permit which is
within the City's jurisdiction to enforce, even outside of city limits,
