THE PROJECT Countryside Partners Springfield, LLC is exploring the opportunity to provide 64 additional parking spaces, a pavilion, a walking path and a play field far the benefit of the residents of Brentwood Estates. While the Countryside Partners Springfield team has been investigating development feasibility, a number of questions have emerged, and it is time for this Development Issues Meeting. Outlined below is a brief description of the project and the property, followed by issues and questions. In advance, Countryside Partners Springfield, LLC and its development team thank staff for their assistance. IL THE PROPERTY The property is located in the Mid -Springfield Area and is approximately 6.57 acres. The lot contains the Brentwood Estates townhome community and a recently acquired vacant parcel toward the southeast portion of the property. This parcel was recently acquired from Eastern Lane Forest Protective Association through a property line adjustment. The Brentwood Estates property is zoned Medium Density Residential, and the acquired parcel is zoned Light -Medium Industrial. The proposed improvements will be concentrated on the acquired parcel, with vehicular and pedestrian connections to the adjoining townhome community. The property is located north of Main Street, which is classified as a minor arterial and east of 30� Street, a major collector. Surrounding Brentwood Estates to the east, are single-family residential homes. To the south is the adjoining Forest Service property, a Les Schwab Tire Center, and the Department of Human Services. To the west across 30'" Street is the Springfield Goodwill and Department of Motor Vehicles. III. QUESTIONS 1. Land Use. a. zoning. As noted above, the portion of the site that was acquired from the adjoining Forest Service property through a property line adjustment is zoned Light Medium Industrial (LMI). The LMI zone permits recreational facilities (SDC 3.2-410) that are listed for Commercial Zones in SDC 3.2-310 or public and private parks, playgrounds, and play/tot lot under the special standards in SDC 4.7-205. However, neither SDC 4.7- 205 (Recreation Facilities) nor SDC 4.7-200 (Public/Private Parks) place restrictions on private parks in the LMI zone or adjacent to residentially zoned property.

Land Use Application(s). Based on communication between the Assistant City Attorney and the Law Office of Mike Reeder, staff recommended the client submit a Major Site Plan Review Modifcation. See Attached Letter to Reeder. The site is also within the Drinking Water Protection Overlay Zone (and in the 10- and 20 -year Time of Travel Zone Concentrations). Q: Does staff still concur that a Major Site Plan Review Modification is required? Will a Drinking Water Protection application be required, or can an exception be sought? 2. Utilities. a. Stormwater. The acquired parcel is extremely flat and lacks a clear sloped stormwater discharge point off property. There is an existing Swale running along the west edge, that with the property acquisition continues onto the adjoining Eastern Lane Forest Protective Association parcel. South of the project parcel, the Eastern Lane Forest Protective Association parcel drains back across Brentwood Estates property via a pipe within a 50' drainage easement to the Q Street Floodway. The applicant hopes to maintain the historic and existing stormwater destination by continuing the use of the stormwater swale off property. Q: Can the project's stormwater destination be a pipe overflow into the swale/channel offsite on the Forest Service Property or does overflow need to be via overland discharge (no pipe outfall)? Can staff comment on the proposed locations for on- site retention? b. Sanitary, Water, and Electric. No utilities other than electrical are needed for the parking lot or pavilion. No water or wastewater will be extended to the pavilion. Parking lot and site lighting would be powered from one of the apartment building panels. Q: Does staff concur or see any need for any utility extensions? 3. Access. a. Driveway and Parking. Access to the proposed site improvements will be via the existing internal driveway within the Brentwood Estates site. The proposed parking constitutes less than 50 percent of the development site. See Site Plan. Q: Does staff concur? Can staff provide information regarding access and parking requirements for the proposed use? Will there be a fire) emergency vehicle access requirement to the new improvements? As an addition to an existing facility and not tied to new dwelling units, what ADA parking will be required? 4. Other Information. Q. Is there anything else that staff would like to share with the applicant, or believes the applicant should be aware of, with respect to this project? 375 West 401 Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 656-0540 • www.satreamuo.c m Brentwootl Estates Development Issues Meeting — Questions Map 14-02-31-00, Tax Lots 4700 Page 3 of 3 This concludes the applicant's Project Consultation Meeting questions.

You have asked for City staffs position on your client acquiring and developing property adjacent to Brentwood Estates to be used by residents as a private park and parking. Specifically, you have asked whether that development could be approved under the existing Light -Medium Industrial (LMI) zoning. I have reviewed the Springfield Development Code (SDC) and discussed the matter with City staff, and we believe that the development you described may be permitted without need for a plan amendment and zone change. As we discussed in our meeting, your client is interested in acquiring property from the US Forest Service that is zoned UMI. The LMI zone permits "Recreational Facilities" that are listed for Commercial zones in SDC 3.2-310, which include "public and private parks," "playgrounds," and "park/tot lot" under the special standards in SDC 4.7-205. However, neither SDC 4.7-205 (Recreation Facilities) nor SDC 4.7-200 (Public Private Parks) place restrictions on private park facilities in the LMI zone or adjacent to residentially zoned property. Therefore, a private park or playground appears to be an allowed use of LMI zoned property. Furthermore, the fact that the resultant parcel would be split -zoned does not appear to prevent the use of a property line adjustment if your client acquires the US Forest Service property. We also discussed that there is no maximum parking restriction for a private park, playground, or park/tot lot in the LMI zone. However, motor vehicle parking cannot be a primary use of the area to be developed as a private park; any parking must be less than 50% of the development area. Staff recommends the best way forward for your client is to submit a Major Site Plan Modification application for the Brentwood Estates site plan. See SDC 5.17-145. The City would process that modification as a Type II decision, with notice to surrounding property owners but no public hearing unless specifically requested. No additional Development Issues Meeting is required, although your client may certainly request one if there are outstanding matters that your client wishes to discuss in advance of the Site Plan pre -application meeting. {000092033} Mike Reeder December 11, 2018 Page 2 Finally, please note that this letter only reflects City staff's opinion on the uses allowed within the LMI zone, based upon the facts shared by your client as we understand them. This letter does not guaranty that a Site Plan Modification would be granted or that the City would defend an application on appeal. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the matter further, please contact me.
