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. Land use approvals
include Site Plan Review, Tree
Felling, Floodplain Development and
Drinking Water Protection.

available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by
this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works Director ora atflityprovider
shall determine capacity issues.
Response: Public and private facilities are provided as follows:
Storm: There are two public storm mains adjacent to the property, one in Corporate Way and
the other in an easement on the east side of the site. This easement will be maintained
with the development. There is also no over -land flow from adjacent properties that
would be cut off by this development.
Sanitary: Wastewater service is available to the site via International Way by a 12 -inch pipe.
Water: The site receives water service via a 12 -inch line in International Way with an 8 -inch
stub to the property.
Electric: Electric infrastructure is adjacent to the site along International Way.
Streets: International Way is a major collector; it has an existing right-of-way width of 72 feet
and a curb -to -curb width of 48 feet. Corporate Way is a local street; it has an existing
right-of-way of 50 feet and a curb -to -curb width of 24 feet.

International Way and one on the east side of Corporate Way, directly abutting the
subject property. This nearest hydrant, on Corporate Way, is within the 600 -foot
distance limit. Knox boxes will be installed at perimeter gates for emergency fire
access.
Given this, this criterion (SDC 5.17-125.B) is met.
C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and
construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.
Response: Applicable public and private design and construction standards can be found in SDC
Chapter 3 -Land Use Districts and in SDC Chapter 4 -Development Standards. The components
of these two chapters which are applicable to the proposed development, and proposed
compliance with said components, is as follows.
SDC Chapter 3 -Land Use Districts

420 Base Zone Development Standards, and 3.2-445 Campus Industrial Design Standards.
Responses in compliance with those sections are as follows.
3.2-415 Schedule of Use Categories
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints submitted a Formal Interpretation (Case No. 811-
21-000308-TYP2) to determine if a religious temple is an allowed use in the Campus Industrial
district. A temple is a principal center for religious education and instruction, special activities and
ceremonies, and regional administrative offices of the church. The temple does not cater to walk-
in customers and the site is proposed to have secured, gated access. The temple does not
operate as a church or house of worship in that weekly sermons and large congregational
gatherings are not held at the site.
The city determined that "educational facilities in business parks" and "corporate headquarters,
regional headquarters and administrative offices" are listed uses in the Campus Industrial District.
Administrative offices are allowed when they are part of a business park in accordance with SDC
3.2-415, Footnote 4. See table below.
Use Categoryluses CI District
Pri Uses 3)
Corporate headquarters regional headquarters, and administrative offices 4
Permitted
Educational facilities in business parks, including, but not limited to, professional,
vocational and business schools; and job training and vocational rehabilitation

Permitted
(4) Corporate headquarters, regional headquarters, and administrative offices may be permitted as
part of a large-scale light -manufacturing use or located wfthin a business park. Corporate and
regional headquarters may also stand alone. The acreage comprising stand alone corporate or
regional headquarters site shall be applied to the 40 percent gross acre standard for business
parks specified in Note (2), above. Corporate and regional headquarters shall have at least 20 or
more employees at the time of occupancy.
Response: Per the Staff Decision from the formal interpretation, staff found that the temple met
the schedule of use categories:
Regional Headquarters and Administrative Offices:
• The subject site is four vacant lots of the Liberty Professional Center subdivision. The
subdivision was platted and recorded in 2007 as a planned business park development. A
MasterPlan for the business park was approved in 2007 and expired in 2014 (Case
LRP2007-00020). Therefore, the site qualifies for the listed uses of administrative offices and
educational facilities in business parks in accordance with SDC 3.2-415, Footnote 4.
• In accordance with SDC 3.2-415, "regional headquarters" and "administrative offices" are
listed as Permitted uses in the CI district. These facilities have characteristics that are similar
to a religious temple in that they. are designed and intended to accommodate a core group of
employees engaged in specific administrative, management or operational activities, serve as
the principal facility within a sizable geographic area, have operational hours that largely
coincide with the "business day, do not typically serve walk-in customers, may have secure
access exclusively for members of employees, and often provide rooms for offices, meetings,
training, and specialized activities.
Educational Facilities in Business Parks:
• In accordance with SDC -415, "educational facilities in business parks" are listed as a
Permitted Use in the Cl district. These facilities have characteristics that are similar to a
religious temple in that they. operate primarily during daytimelweekday business hours which
may extend into the evening, provide a specialized curriculum and training for students or
enrollees; do not typically serve walk-in customers, may have secure access exclusively for

(6) Height Exceptions. Incidental equipment may exceed the height standards.
Response: The Willamette Valley Oregon Temple plans show the top of the parapet of the main
body of the temple at 29'-2", with the top of the mechanical parapet at 37'-3". The top of the finial
of the steel spire is 125'. The spire is an ornamental element. At the Development Issues Meeting
(Case 611 -21 -000267 -PRE), staff found that the building height is considered "incidental
equipment" in compliance with SDC 3.2-420(6) which allows height exceptions to the 45'
maximum in Campus Industrial. Therefore, all the base zone development standards are met.
See the Site Plan.

3.2445 Campus Industrial Design Standards
In the Cl District, new buildings; expansions of, or additions to existing buildings; or
improvements to existing fagades that require a building permit shall provide architectural
designs that encourage flexibility and innovation in site planning by complying with the
following on-site design standards:
A. Building Exteriors. In order to break up vast expansions of single element building
elevations applicable to both length and height, building design shall include a
combination of architectural elements and features, including, but not limited to:
offsets, windows, entrances, and roof treatments.
1. Offsets. Offsets shall occur at a minimum of every 100 feet of lineal building wall
by providing recesses or extensions with a minimum depth of 4 feet.
EXCEPTION: Variations in building wall materials, including, but not limited to:
wood siding, brick, stucco, textured concrete block, tile, glass, stone, or other
suitable materials may be used instead of offsets.
The Director, in consultation with the Building Official, may approve othersuitable
materials without the need for a Variance. Smooth -faced concrete panels or
prefabricated steel panels may also be used as accents, but shall not dominate the
building exterior. Exterior colors for buildings and fences shall be subdued or
earth tones.
Response: The building exteriors incorporate offsets, windows, entrances, and various
changes in height and massing. Where offsets are not provided, the stonework on the
building provides sufficient variation. See architectural plans.
Windows. Ground floor windows are required for all office and commercial uses,
including those office and commercial uses that are contained within light
industrial manufacturing uses. Ground floor windows for the remainder of a light
industrial building are optional. All elevations of office and commercial buildings
abutting any street shall provide at least 50 percent of their length (e.g., a 100 -foot -
wide building fagade shall have a total of at least 50 linear feet of windows) and at
least 25 percent of the ground floor wall area as windows and/or doors that allow
views into lobbies, merchandise displays, or work areas. On comer lots/parcels
this provision applies to both elevations. Where upper story windows are
proposed, either awning, canopies, or other similar treatments shall be required for
ground floor windows or variations in window materials, trim, paint or
ornamentation may be used.
EXCEPTIONS:
a. A mural, that does not include any advertising, maybe used to meet 50 percent
of the ground floor window standard specified in Subsection 2., above. Murals
are regulated under Chapter 8.234 of the Springfield Municipal Code, 1997.

SDC Chapter 4 -Development Standards
SDC Chapter 4 -Development Standards address general development standards that are
applicable to all development as well as special standards for certain uses. Here, the following
specific sections were cited and thus apply to the project. Responses in compliance with those
standards, are as follows.
SDC 4.2-105 Public Streets
Response: No new public streets are required or proposed.
SDC 4.2-110 Private Streets
Response: No new private streets are required or proposed.
SDC 4.2-120.A Site Access and Driveways - General
Response: Proposed improvements associated with this project include two new driveways
abutting Corporate Way (a local street) and one new driveway abutting International Way (a
collector street).
SDC 4.2-120.8 Driveways must take access from lower classification streets when
development sites abut more than one street and streets are of differing classification as
identified in the Springfield Transportation System Plan.
EXCEPTION. Driveway access to or from a higher classification street may be permitted if
no reasonable alternative street access
1. Where a proposed development abuts an existing or proposed arterial or collector
street, the development design and off-street improvements shall minimize the traffic
conflicts.
2. Additional improvements or design modifications necessary to solve identified
transportation conflicts may be required on a case-by-case basis.
Response: One driveway is proposed on International Way, a collector street. At the
Development Issues Meeting (Case 811 -21 -000267 -PRE), Staff found that the proposed
driveway on International Way is acceptable; It is further away from the Lane Transit District stop
on International Way than the existing driveway on the neighboring Giustina property. Therefore,
the driveway alignment minimizes traffic conflicts on International Way.
SDC 4.2-120. C Driveways shall be designed to allow safe and efficient vehicular ingress
and egress as specified in Tables 4.2-2 through 4.2-5 and the City's Engineering Design
Standards and Procedures Manual and the Public Works Standard Construction

Cum Return on the Same Side of the Street (1)
(1) Each category ofstreet is considered separately. Distances maybe reduced in the following
circumstances:
(a) Access is from a one-way street
(b) The driveway is marked for "right -in -right -out only."
(c) The driveway is marked "exit only" and is designed to prevent left turns.
(d) In cases where an existing lotiparcel andlor use make compliance with these specifications
unreasonable, a new driveway or an existing driveway required to be relocated by this Code
shall be placed at the furthest point from the intersection curb return, considering both
safety and internal circulation requirements of the development
Response: International Way is a collector street. Corporate Way is a local street. The nearest
intersection is at the southwest corner of the subject site, at International Way and Corporate
Way. The single new driveway associated with this project on International Way is over 200 feet
from the International Way and Corporate Way intersection. There are two driveways on
Corporate Way for the project. The southern -most driveway on Corporate Way, at the southwest
comer of the site, is less than 150 feet from the intersection of International Way and Corporate
Way. This driveway is placed at the furthest point possible given the site plan from the
intersection curb return. As Corporate Way is a low volume dead-end street, the location of this
driveway will not impact safety and circulation needs.

Response: Parking areas and ingress -egress points have been located and designed to promote
vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian safety. The facility takes access from International Way, a
collector street and Corporate Way, a local street. As noted above in response to SDC 4.2-120, at
the Development Issues Meeting (Case 811 -21 -000287 -PRE), staff found that the proposed
driveway on International Way is acceptable; It is further away from the Lane Transit District stop
on International Way than the existing driveway on the neighboring Giustina property. Therefore,
the driveway alignment minimizes traffic conflicts on International Way. The driveways on
Corporate Way provide vehicular access to the parking lots and loading area at the northwest
corner of the site and the secondary access from International Way provides access to a parking
area.
Pedestrian safety is ensured with sidewalks from the right-of-way and driveways to the entrances
of the proposed building, to the bicycle parking locations and parking areas. Connections to transit
stops are provided with the existing street -side sidewalk along International Way.
E. 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 WQLW Map and their associated riparian areas; other riparian
areas and wetlands specked in Section 4.3-117; rock outcroppings; open spaces; and
areas of historic and/or archaeological significance, as may be speciffed 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.
Response: There are no physical features on the subject property meeting this definition. Thus,
this standard does not apply.
