LAND USE REQUEST Having announced plans in April 2021, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is moving forward with its plans to construct a new temple to be known as the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple — on a 10.5 -acre site in the Gateway neighborhood of Springfield. Plans call for an approximately 30,000 square feet building serving some 30,000 Latter-day Saints. This will be the third temple in Oregon, the other two being located in Lake Oswego (the Portland Oregon Temple) and in Central Point (the Medford Oregon Temple). Oregon is home to more than 150,000 Latter-day Saints, who worship in more than 300 congregations. The applicant hopes to break ground on the Willamette Valley Temple by summer 2022. A number of land use applications are required for development, including Major Replat, Site Plan Review, Floodplain and Drinking Water Protection Overlay permit. To prepare the site for construction, in concert with a Pre -Approval LDAP application, the applicant is submitting this "No -Rise' Floodplain Overlay District application; no structures or improvements are proposed as part of this land use application.

FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT–APPROVAL STANDARDS AND FINDINGS This section is presented in the same order of applicable requirements found in Section 3.3-420, Floodplain Overlay District Development Standards of the Springfield Development Code. Applicable sections of the code are in bold italics, followed by proposed findings of fact in normal text. A Floodplain Development Permit shall be reviewed under Type I procedure by the Building Official and the City Engineer. They shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the request on the following standards. A. General Standards. In all areas of special flood hazard within the City and its urbanizable area, the following standards apply., 1. Anchoring. All new construction, manufactured homes and substantial improvements subject to less than 18 inches of flood water during a 100 -year flood shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring methods for manufactured homes may include, but are not limited to, use of over -the -top or frame ties to ground anchors (Reference FEMA's "Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas" guidebooks for additional techniques). If subject to 18 inches or more of flood water, or located in the floodway, manufactured homes, apart from manufactured homes in Mobile Home Parks and Subdivisions, shall be anchored to prevent floatation or lateral movements and the design shall be certified by an engineer or architect. Manufactured homes in an existing Mobile Home Park or Subdivision may use the ties to ground anchors and additional techniques specified above. Response: This No -Rise Floodplain Overlay District Development permit is for earthwork and not construction of structures. Therefore, a response to this standard will be generated for the Floodplain permit submitted concurrent with the Site Plan Review application. 2. Construction Materials and Methods. a.

Response: This development is not a proposal for a subdivision. 5. Review of Building Permits. Where base flood elevation data is not available either through the Flood Insurance Study or from another authoritative source, applications for Building Permits including those manufactured home placement shall be reviewed to assure that proposed construction will be reasonable safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness shall include but not be limited to the use of historic data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, where available. Failure to elevate at least 2 feet above (the exterior) grade in these zones may result in higher insurance rates. This requirement does not apply to manufactured homes in existing Mobile Home Parks and Subdivisions. Response: Acknowledged and agreed. B. Specific Standards. In all areas of special flood hazard within the City and its urbanizable area where base flood elevation data has been provided as specified in Section 3.3-410A. and B. or 3.3-4158.4, the following provisions are required: 1.

There will be new drive aisles and paved parking areas around the perimeter of the new temple. There will be ample continuously connected drive aisles around the perimeter of the development. b. No street or surface of any new street shall beat elevation of less than 1 foot below the base flood heights. Response: The proposed development does not include a new street. C. Floodway. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 3.3-410A. and B. are areas designated at floodways. Since the floodway, is an extremely hazardous area due to velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply. Response: The development proposal is not located in the floodway. D. Encroachment. The cumulative effect of any proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, shall not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than 1 foot at any point. Response: Acknowledged and agreed. The proposed improvements will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than 1 foot at any point. IV. CONCLUSION Based on the information and findings contained in this written statement, associated exhibits, and plan set, the proposed Willamette Valley Oregon Temple meets the No -Rise Floodplain Overlay District Development standards contained in the Springfield Development Code. Therefore, the applicant requests that the City of Springfield approve the proposal.
