By implementing the policies set forth in the currently approved Stormwater Management Plan, provide for the effective management of stormwater and drainage from the City into the groundwater and watercourses within the City and its urbanizing area; minimize demand on the City's stormwater management system, and alleviate future costs of treating the discharge; promote water quality; preserve groundwater and the vegetation and rivers it supports; reduce peak storm flows; minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions; and minimize stormwater discharge impacts on water quality and quantity and stream flow patterns, including peak and base flows in intermittent and perennial streams, within the McKenzie River and Willamette River watersheds. Response: An onsite stormwater management system will provide water quality and flow control per the requirements set for in the City of Springfield Engineering Design Standards & Procedures Manual. 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 Public Works Director, consistent with the policies set forth in the Stormwater Management Plan and the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual. The stormwater management system shall be separated from any sanitary sewer system. Surface water drainage patterns shall be addressed on every Preliminary Site Plan, or Tentative Partition or Subdivision Plan. Response: An onsite stormwater management system will provide water quality and flow control per the requirements set for in the City of Springfield Engineering Design Standards & Procedures Manual. C. A stormwater management system shall accommodate potential run-off from its entire upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside of the development. The Public Works Director shall determine the necessary size of the facility, based on adopted Public Facility Plans and Stormwater Facility Master Plans. The developer shall pay a proportional share of the cost according to adopted City Council policy. Response: An onsite stormwater management system will provide water quality and flow control per the requirements set for in the City of Springfield Engineering Design Standards & Procedures Manual. There is an existing public stormwater system that accepts and handles flows for our site. D. Run-off from a development shall be directed to an approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge. Where the Public Works Director determines that the additional run-off resulting from the development will overload an existing stormwater management system, the Approval Authority shall withhold Development Approval until provisions, consistent with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual, have been made to correct or mitigate this condition. Response: An onsite stormwater management system will provide water quality and flow control per the requirements set for in the City of Springfield Engineering Design Standards & Procedures Manual. There is an existing public stormwater system that accepts and handles flows for our site. E. Any development with a stormwater threshold management requirement of 1,000 square feet of impervious surface area shall be required to employ stormwater management practices consistent with the Springfield Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual, which minimize the amount and rate of surface water run-off into receiving streams. The following stormwater management practices may be required in order to relieve demand on the City's piped drainage system, alleviate future costs of treating the piped discharge, promote water quality, preserve groundwater and the vegetation and rivers it supports, and reduce peak storm flows: 1. Temporary ponding of water; 2. Permanent storage basins; 3. Minimizing impervious surfaces; 4. Emphasizing natural water percolation and natural drainageways; 5. Preventing water flowing from the street in an uncontrolled fashion; 6. Stabilizing natural drainageways as necessary below drainage and culvert discharge points for a distance sufficient to convey the discharge without channel erosion, as permitted/allowed by City, State and Federal regulations; 7. On-site filtration or skimming of run-off, that will enter natural drainageways to maintain water quality; 8. On-site constructed wetlands; and 9. The riparian area boundary, as specified in Subsection 4.3-115A., may be utilized to meet City on-site stormwater management requirements for flood control and water quality treatment provided the design is complementary to and supportive of the primary objective of a properly fimctuning riparian habitat condition. Where the riparian boundary is not of sufficient size to meet these on-site requirements, the additional area needed shall be located contiguous to the riparian boundary to form a consolidated stormwater feature for operational and maintenance efficiencies and that is designed to be compatible with and complementary to the riparian area boundary.

Safe and converuent bicycle parking is required in most zoning districts and land use categories to encourage the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation. The required number of spaces is lower for uses that do not tend to attract bicycle riders and higher for those that do. Additionally, some bicycle parking is required on the basis of specifically encouraging employee, student or customer related bicycle use. The following standards ensure that bicycle parking is converuent to the cyclist in its location and provides sufficient security from theft and damage. Long-term bicycle parking space requirements accommodate employees, commuters, students, residents and other persons who expect to leave their bicycles for more than 2 hours. Short-term bicycle parking spaces accommodate visitors, customers, messengers, and other persons expected to depart within approximately 2 hours. 21 B.

Supports the bicycle frame in a stable position without damage to wheels, frames, or components and provides two points of contact; 2. Allows locking of the frame and one or both wheels with a U -lock; 3. Is securely anchored to the ground or to a structure; 4. Resists cutting, rusting, bending, or deformation, both from natural causes and from human abuse; 5. Powder coated or durable, non -scratching surface; and 6. Works well for a variety of bicycle frame types (e.g., should work for step -through frame as well as diamond frame, children's bicycles as well as adult bicycles, recumbent as well as other styles of adaptive bicycles). B. Required bicycle parking spaces and facilities must be constructed and installed in accordance with Section 4.6-150 and Figures 4.6-13 and 4.6-C. Bicycle parking must be provided at ground level unless an elevator with clear bicycle wayfinding signage is easily accessible and directs users to an approved bicycle storage area. Each required bicycle parking space must be accessible without removing another bicycle. C. All required long-term bicycle parking spaces must be sheltered from precipitation and include lighting. Response: The long-term bicycle parking is provided at the northwest corner of the building. The long-term bicycle parking is sheltered from precipitation by its prefabricated enclosure (refer to detail shown on Sheet ASDL) and the area where it is located is illuminated by a building mounted lighting fixture (Refer to photometric plan on Sheet AS2) D. Short-term bicycle parking most be sheltered as follows: 1. If 10 or fewer short-term bicycle parking spaces are required, no shelter is required for short-term bicycle parking. Response: The project requires 3 short term bicycle parking spaces. Therefore, a shelter is not required. E. Bicycle parking that accommodates oversized bicycles and alternative bicycle types must be provided as follows: 1. Each oversized bicycle parking space most provide minimum clear area of 4 feet by 8 feet as shown in Figure 4.6-C. 2. At least 10% of the long -tern bicycle parking spaces for commercial uses and residential uses most be oversized bicycle parking spaces.
