Ordinance No. 6451
Exhibit C Page 2 of 8
Review Process(SDC 5.7.115): The subject annexation request is being reviewed under Type 4 procedures,without
Planning Commission consideration.
The City of Springfield adopted comprehensive changes to its Development Code on July 1,2022 (Ordinance 6443).
The subject annexation is request is being reviewed in accordance with the Development Code provisions in effect
on the date of application submittal, which is June 28, 2022; however, there were no substantive changes to the
Annexation section, SDC 5.7.100,adopted by Ordinance 6443. For ease of reading,citations appearing in this staff
report use the formatting of the Code in effect at the time of this decision(e.g. 5.7.100,rather than 5.7-100).
Development Issues Meeting (SDC 5.7.120): A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) is required of all public
agency and private landowner-initiated annexation applications,unless waived by the Director.
Finding: The property owner submitted an application for a Development Issues Meeting on September 2,2021 and
the meeting was held on September 28,2021. Subsequently,a pre-submittal meeting for the annexation request was
held on June 17,2022 (File 811-22-000144-PRE).
Conclusion: The requirement in SDC 5.7.120 is met.
Annexation Initiation and Application Submittal (SDC 5.7.125): In accordance with SDC 5.7.125(B)(2)(b)(1)
and ORS 222.170(1), an annexation application may be initiated by "more than half the owners of land in the
territory,who also own more than half the land in the contiguous territory and of real property therein representing
more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing to the annexation
of their land."
Finding: The property owner who owns all of the land and real property, and full assessed value of real
property in the contiguous territory, has filed an application and petition requesting annexation to the City of
Springfield(Attachment 2,Exhibit B).
Conclusion: The application requirements in SDC 5.7.125 have been met.
Site Information: The subject annexation area consists of a roughly rectangular parcel that is approximately 0.20
acres in size and contains an existing single-detached dwelling. The property is located on the southwest corner of
the intersection of Osage Street and South 40ti'Place,which is essentially a 90°turn in the street. The subject site
is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary(UGB) and is contiguous to the Springfield city limits across
Osage Street to the north. Concurrent with annexation of the subject property, an approximately 314-foot long
segment of Osage Street, the intersection of Osage Street and South 40th Place, and an approximately 424-foot
long segment of South 40'Place are proposed to be annexed. The purpose for annexing these public rights-of-
way is to allow the City to extend public sanitary sewer lines and service laterals within the Osage Street and
South 40th Place rights-of-way. This is one of three capital projects the City is undertaking this calendar year
for local sewer extensions.
At the time of initial application submittal on June 28, 2022, zoning for the property was Low Density Residential
(LDR)with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay(UF-10) applied. After implementation of the new Development Code
on July 1,2022 the property is now within the R-I residential district and it retains the OF-10 overlay;the change to
this zoning district, as applicable to this application, is in name only. According to the applicant's submittal, the
primary purpose of the annexation request is to facilitate connection of the existing house to City sanitary sewer due
to a failed septic system on the property. Currently, the nearest public sanitary sewer line is on Osage Street
approximately 255 feet west of the northwest corner of 932 South 40' Place. The public street frontages of the
property are developed to urban standards with curb,gutter,paving and piped stormwater facilities but currently lack
sidewalks. Because the majority of street improvements already exist along the street frontages an Annexation
Agreement is not warranted for the request. The applicant will be responsible for addressing sewer assessment and
system development charge (SDC) fees associated with connecting to public sanitary sewer when it is available to
the property frontage.
Ordinance No. 6451
Exhibit C Page 3 of 8
Existing public services are provided to the annexation area as follows: police (Lane County Sheriff), schools
(Springfield School District),roads(Lane County and City of Springfield),and Fire(Eugene-Springfield Fire under
contract with the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District). Springfield Utility Board (SUB) operates the existing
electric infrastructure along the site frontages. Upon annexation,the City of Springfield will be responsible for all
urban services, including sanitary sewer, water(through SUB), electricity (through SUB), and police/fire response
to the subject area.
Notice Requirements (SDC 5.7.130): Consistent with SDC 5.7.130,notice was provided as follows:
Mailed Notice. Notice of the annexation application was mailed September 12,2022,which is at least 14 days prior
to the public hearing date,to the affected property owner(s); owners and occupants of properties located within 300
feet of the perimeter of the proposed annexation territory; affected special districts and all other public utility
providers; and the Lane County Land Management Division,Lane County Elections,and the Lane County Board of
Commissioners. The list of recipients of the mailed notice is included with the Affidavit of Mailing for this
annexation application and is retained as part of the public record for Planning Case 811-22-000157-TYP4.
Newspaper Notice. Notice of the October 3, 2022 public hearing was published in the print version of The
Chronicle on September 22 and 29,2022. The digital version of the newspaper published the notice on September
20 and 27,2022. The notification meets the requirements of SDC 5.7.130(B)for two consecutive notices in the two-
week period before the hearing.
Posted Notice. Notice of the October 3, 2022 public hearing was posted in four physical places in the City: near
the City limits line on Osage Street west of the subject property;along the public street frontage of 932 South 40'Place;
on South 40'Place near the intersection with Jasper Road; and on the Public Notices bulletin board in the lobby of
City Hall. The public hearing notice was also digitally posted on the electronic display in the foyer of the
Development & Public Works office and on the City of Springfield website.
Finding: Upon annexation of the subject territory to the City,the underlying R-1 residential zoning will be retained,
but the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District (UF-10) will no longer apply. Due to this change, the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and Development(DLCD)was notified in writing of the annexation proceedings
prior to the public hearing. Notification to DLCD regarding the proposed annexation was sent on August 12,2022,
which is 52 days prior to the initial public hearing on the matter.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7.130.
Recommendation to City Council (SDC 5.7.135): The Director shall forward a written recommendation on the
annexation application to the City Council based on the approval criteria specified in SDC 5.7.140, which are
provided as follows with the SDC requirements,findings,and conclusions. The Director's recommendation follows
SDC 5.7.140, Criteria.
Criteria(SDC 5.7.140): The application may be approved only if the City Council finds that the proposal conforms
to the following criteria:
A. The affected territory proposed to be annexed is within the City's urban growth boundary; and is
1. Contiguous to the city limits; or
2. Separated from the City only by a public right of way or a stream, lake or other body of water.
Finding: The subject annexation territory is located within the acknowledged urban growth boundary(UGB)of the
City of Springfield (see additional discussion in Subsection B below). The property requested for annexation is
separated from the Springfield city limits by the Osage Street right-of-way to the north. It therefore meets the
requirements of SDC 5.7.140(A)(2) for adjacency to the current City limits. Upon concurrent annexation of the
Osage Street right-of-way along the northern property boundary and South 40'Place right-of-way along the eastern
property boundary, the City limits line will run along the western and southern boundaries of the residential lot.
Therefore,with the inclusion of the public rights-of-way this annexation application meets the statutory definition
of contiguity as found in ORS 222.111(1).
Ordinance No. 6451
Exhibit C Page 4 of 8
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion(A)(1), SDC 5.7.140.
B. The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable
refinement plans or Plan Districts;
Finding: The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) in
August, 1982 and has been subsequently amended. The original Metro Plan UGB encompassed both Eugene and
Springfield,with I-5 being the acknowledged boundary between Eugene and Springfield. With the passage of House
Bill 3337 in 2007 and adoption of Ordinance 6268 in 2011,a separate and distinct UGB was created for Springfield
using a tax lot by tax lot delineation. Springfield's UGB as delineated by Ordinance 6268 was subsequently
revised and expanded upon adoption of Ordinance 6361 in 2016. The revised and expanded UGB is delineated
on an individual tax lot basis and has been acknowledged by LCDC. Territory within the acknowledged UGB
ultimately will be within the City of Springfield.
Finding: In December 2016,Springfield adopted the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan- Urbanization Element
as a component of Springfield's comprehensive plan in compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 14,
Urbanization. The Urbanization Element explicitly retains the Metro Plan's long-standing urbanization policy
criteria for approving annexations. The Urbanization Element has been acknowledged by LCDC.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is within an area that is zoned R-1 (titled "LDR" at the time the
application was filed) which is consistent with the Low Density Residential plan designation. The adopted
elements of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan apply to areas within the Springfield UGB, particularly
the Urbanization Element adopted by Ordinance 6361. At present, there are no proposed changes to the zoning
or plan designation for the property, although the Urbanizable Fringe (UF-10) overlay will be effectively removed
upon annexation.
Finding: The continued annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with Policy 29 of the
Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan — Urbanization Element which specifies annexation as the preferred
mechanism for provision of urban services to properties within the UGB, which will result in the elimination of
special districts within the urbanizable area.
Finding: More detailed discussion of Public Facilities and Services in the Metro Plan (Section III-G) and the
Eugene-Springfield Public Facilities and Services Plan(PFSP)—a refinement plan of the Metro Plan—contemplates
eventual elimination of special service districts within each city's UGB as annexation occurs incrementally. Policy
G.9 of the Eugene-Springfield PFSP states that Eugene and Springfield and their respective utility branches,Eugene
Water & Electric Board (EWEB) and Springfield Utility Board (SUB), shall ultimately be the water service
providers within their respective urban growth boundary. The requested annexation is consistent with this adopted
Policy.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is currently within the service area of the Willakenzie Rural Fire
Protection District. There is no rural water service district in this area of Springfield. The Willakenzie Rural Fire
Protection District has a contractual service arrangement with Eugene-Springfield Fire Department for provision
of fire response to unincorporated areas of south Springfield. After the public hearing and Council adoption of the
annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District
consistent with ORS 222.520 and 222.524 and the City of Springfield will provide fire and life safety services to the
annexation area via the consolidated Eugene-Springfield Fire department.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 33 of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan— Urbanization Element, SUB
is the exclusive water service provider within the Springfield city limits. There is no rural water service district in
this area of south Springfield. Therefore, upon annexation,the City by and through the Springfield Utility Board
will provide water service to the annexation area.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 34 of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan— Urbanization Element,when
unincorporated territory within the UGB is provided with any new urban service, that service shall be provided by
Ordinance No. 6451
Exhibit C Page 5 of 8
one of the following methods in this priority order: a) Annexation to City; or b) Contractual annexation agreements
with City.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 35 of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan— Urbanization Element, the
City shall not extend water or wastewater service outside city limits to serve a residence or business without first
obtaining a valid annexation petition, a consent to annex agreement,or when a health hazard abatement annexation
is required.
Finding: The requested annexation is to facilitate connection of the existing house to City sanitary sewer due to a
failed septic system on the property. Therefore,the subject annexation is a health hazard abatement action. Public
sanitary sewer service will be available to the property along the Osage Street and South 40t1i Place frontages of the
site when the City completes the capital project for local sewer extension. The anticipated timing of the sewer
extension work is late Fall 2022, assuming receipt of viable bid submittals and contractor availability.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion B, SDC 5.7.140.
C. The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities
and services as defined in the Metro Plan can be provided in an orderly efficient and timely manner; and
Finding: In accordance with Policy 29 of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan — Urbanization Element,
annexation shall continue to be a prerequisite for urban development and the delivery of City services in accordance
with the Springfield Comprehensive Plan and Springfield Development Code.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 31 of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan— Urbanization Element, key
urban facilities and services are defined as wastewater service; stormwater service; transportation; solid waste
management; water service; fire and emergency medical services; police protection; citywide park and recreation
programs; electric service;land use controls; communication facilities; and public schools on a districtwide basis.
Finding: In accordance with Policy 32 of the Springl'ield 2030 Comprehensive Plan— Urbanization Element,urban
services provided by the City upon annexation to Springfield include storm and sanitary sewer;water;transportation
systems; police and fire protection; planning, building, code enforcement and library services; and public
infrastructure maintenance of City owned or operated facilities.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is not contiguous with the City limits line but is only separated by
the Osage Street public right-of-way. Therefore,it meets the adjacency requirements for the purpose of advancing
this annexation request. Urban utilities including water and electricity, have been extended along adjacent public
streets and are available to serve the subject property,adjacent properties,and areas beyond the annexation territory.
The City is sponsoring a capital project to extend public sanitary sewer service from a point near the current City
limits line on Osage Street eastward to the intersection with South 40t1i Place and then southward toward Jasper Road.
Therefore,the urban service delivery systems are already available and in place or can be logically extended from
points in the vicinity to serve the subject property. The following urban utilities, facilities and services are either
available or can be extended to this annexation area:
Water— The Springfield Utility Board operates the public water utility system within incorporated areas of south
Springfield. As noted above, SUB is the exclusive water service provider for properties within the City limits. SUB
operates a 6-inch water line that runs along the subject property frontages in Osage Street and South 40t1i Place. The
water line is available for provision of water service to the property and also provides for fire protection in the form
of an existing fire hydrant on the frontage of 932 South 40t1'Place at the intersection of Osage Street and South 40'1'
Place. Upon annexation of the parcel and rights-of-way,the property will be eligible to receive SUB Water service.
Electricity — SUB provides electric service to the neighborhoods in south Springfield. SUB owns and maintains
electrical system infrastructure along the Osage Street alignment and at the rear of properties on between Osage and
Pinyon Streets. Existing electrical system infrastructure within the public rights-of-way and easements will continue
to be maintained by the affected utility provider.

Police Services — Springfield Police Department currently provides service to areas of west Springfield that are
already inside the City limits. The annexation territory is currently within the jurisdiction of the Lane County
Sheriff's Department. Upon annexation, this area will receive Springfield Police services on an equal basis with
other properties inside the City.
Fire and Emergency Services — Fire protection is currently provided to the annexation area by Eugene Springfield
Fire Department under contract with the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection-District. Upon annexation,the Eugene
Springfield Fire Department will directly provide fire and emergency services to the subject territory.
Emergency medical transport (ambulance) services are provided on a metro-wide basis by the Eugene Springfield
Fire Department. The annexation area will continue to receive this service consistent with the adopted ambulance
service area (ASA) plan. Mutual aid agreements have been adopted by the three regional ASA providers to provide
backup coverage for each other's jurisdictions.
Parks and Recreation—Park and recreation services are provided within the City of Springfield by the Willamalane
Park& Recreation District. The park district operates several indoor recreation facilities, such as the Willamalane
Park Swim Center,Lively Park Swim Center,Bob Keefer Center for Sports and Recreation,and Willamalane Adult
Activity Center. The park district offers various after-school and other programs for children at schools and parks
throughout the community. Also available are pathways and several categories of parks,including community parks,
sports parks,special use parks, and natural area parks.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield,the subject property will be annexed to the Willamalane Park
& Recreation District consistent with City policy, an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Springfield
and Lane County, and the adopted Willamalane Comprehensive Plan.
Library Services — Upon annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be served by the Springfield
Public Library.
Schools — The Springfield School District serves this area of west Springfield. Based on the existing use of
the subject property as a single detached dwelling, it is expected that the annexation territory sustains permanent
residents and could generate a school-age population in the future. The Springfield School District has capacity to
serve the annexation area in its current configuration,and in the event the property redevelops in the future.
Sanitary Sewer — The annexation territory does not currently have sanitary sewer service. A City capital project
will extend local sewer service eastward from its current terminus in Osage Street (about 255 feetr west of the
subject property) to the intersection of Osage Street and South 40' Place, and then southward along South 40t1'
Place. Only one property (932 South 40'Place)has requested connection at this time. The applicant has arranged
for payment of applicable fees to connect the existing house to the public sanitary sewer system after it is installed.
Connection to the public sanitary sewer system will require a plumbing permit.
Stormwater — The subject annexation territory is served by the public stormwater management system located in
Osage Street to the west and southward near the intersection of South 40"Place and Jasper Road. However,the public
system along the property frontage is not developed as a piped, underground system similar to properties along Osage
Street to the west of the current City limits line. Should further development or redevelopment of the site occur in the
future, extension and expansion of public and private stormwater facilities necessary to serve the property will be done
concurrently with construction of other site improvements and utilities.
Streets—The northern boundary of the subject annexation area abuts Osage Street,which has been developed with
paving,curb,gutter and street trees but lacks sidewalks. West of the current City limits line,Osage Street has been
improved with curbside sidewalks and piped stormwater facilities. Osage Street and South 40'Place are classified
as local streets and are developed with one vehicle travel lane in each direction. The limited pavement width does
not allow for vehicle parking on both sides of the street. However, no parking restrictions have been imposed on
South 40'Place or Osage Street.
Ordinance No. 6451
Exhibit C Page 7 of 8
Solid Waste Management—The City and Sampac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for garbage service inside
the City limits. Upon annexation,solid waste disposal service would be provided by Sampac.
Communication Facilities—Various providers offer both wired and wireless communication services in the Eugene-
Springfield metropolitan area. Existing providers and those entering the market have the capability to provide
service to this area.
Land Use Controls — The annexation area is within Springfield's urban growth boundary. Through an
intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of Springfield,the City already has planning and
building jurisdiction for unincorporated areas of Springfield. The City will continue to administer land use controls
after annexation.
Finding: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as outlined in the Springfield 2030
Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element are immediately available to the site.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion C, SDC 5.7.140.
D. Where applicable, fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or
other mechanism approved by the City Council.
Finding: The area proposed for annexation is a residential parcel containing an existing single detached dwelling.
The applicant has arranged for payment of the applicable sewer assessment fees and system development charges
for connection to the City's sanitary sewer system. Because the required sanitary sewer service is contingent upon
completion of a City capital project for local sewer extension, the applicant is awaiting completion of the project
before obtaining a plumbing permit for connecting the house to City sanitary sewer.
Finding: The public street frontages of the property are substantially improved with curb, gutter,paving and street
trees and the property is less than 8,500 ft' so further land division of the subject site is not likely. For this reason,
an Annexation Agreement is not warranted or required for this annexation request.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion D, SDC 5.7.140.
City Council Decision (SDC 5.7.145): City Council approval of the annexation application shall be by
Ordinance.
Finding: The City Council is sehedtile a -e giave first reading of the Annexation Ordinance and l held a
Public Hearing on October 3, 2022 for the subject annexation request. No one provided testimony at the public
hearing meeting. BRased on the staff analysis and recommendations, and on testimony provided at the Public
Hearing, the City Council may take action to approve, modify, or deny the Annexation Ordinance a4 a s4sequer4
at the regular meeting on October 17,2022.
Zoning(SDC 5.7.150): The area requested for annexation is zoned R-1 residential district(titled"LDR"at the time
the application was submitted)and is designated Low Density Residential in accordance with the Springfield Zoning
Map and the adopted Metro Plan diagram. Properties that are outside the City limits have the Urbanizable Fringe
Overlay District (UF-10) applied to the zoning. Upon the effective date of the annexation, the OF-10 overlay
will be automatically removed and the property will retain the R-1 zoning.
Effective Date and Notice of Approved Annexation (SDC 5.7.155): The subject annexation request; was
presented to the City Council for consideration at an initial public hearing on October 3, 2022. Second reading and
potential adoption of the annexation Ordinance is scheduled for October 17,2022. Per ORS 222.040,an annexation and
removal of property from a special district may not become effective during the period that begins on the 90th day before
a primary election or general election and ends on the day after the election. November 8, 2022 is a general election;
therefore, the annexation and special district withdrawal will become effective on November 9, 2022, or upon
acknowledgement of filing with the Secretary of State—whichever date is later.
Ordinance No. 6451
Exhibit C Page 8 of 8
Withdrawal from Special Service Districts (SDC 5.7.160): Withdrawal from special districts may occur
concurrently with the approved annexation Ordinance or after the effective date of the annexation of territory to the
City. The Director shall recommend to the City Council for consideration of the withdrawal of the annexed territory
from special districts as specified in ORS 222. hi determining whether to withdraw the territory, the City Council
shall determine whether the withdrawal is in the best interest of the City. Notice of the withdrawal shall be provided
in the same manner as the annexation notice in SDC 5.7.130.
Finding: The annexation area is within the delineated service territory of SUB (electric and water)and Willakenzie
Rural Fire Protection District(contracted fire response). The Cities of Eugene/Springfield will directly provide fire
and emergency services after annexation, and the City of Springfield by and through the Springfield Utility
Board will provide water service after annexation. Consistent with SDC 5.7.160,notice was provided for the public
hearing on October 3, 2022. Withdrawal from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District concurrently with
annexation of the territory to the City of Springfield is in the best interest of the City. The withdrawal from the
Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District is necessary to implement Policies 31 and 32 of the Springfield 2030
Comprehensive Plan— Urbanization Element whereby annexation is prioritized for the City of Springfield to provide
urban services to its incorporated territory, and existing special service districts within the City's UGB are to be
dissolved over time.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: The proposal complies with the annexation criteria of approval
listed in SDC 5.7.140, and Council is within its authority to approve annexation of the subject territory to the
City of Springfield and Willamalane Park and Recreation District and withdrawal of the subject territory
from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District.
