AICP Date: November 28, 2022 Subject: EWEB Glenwood Second Source DIM Application Statement OVERVIEW The Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) is exploring the feasibility of constructing a second drinking water intake and treatment plant in Glenwood (Springfield, OR). Currently, EWEB's only source of drinking water is the McKenzie River, with an intake and treatment facility near Hayden Bridge in Springfield, OR. Having a single potable water source presents significant risks to EWEB residential, business, and institutional water consumers from potential service disruptions due to equipment failure, hazardous spills within the river, or natural disasters. To improve resiliency, EWEB is proposing to utilize its existing water right to surface water on the Willamette River below the confluence of the Middle and Coast Forks to diversify its water supply. The proposed second source site is between McVay Highway and Interstate 5 (1-5). The proposed project includes an intake facility, water treatment and filtration facility, and associated infrastructure. The subject site is below the confluence of the Middle and Coast Forks of the Willamette River in Glenwood, within the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary. The subject site comprises the following tax lots (Assessor's Map No., Tax Lot No.): 18030220,03300 18030232,03800 18030233,05100 18030340,00300 18030340,00700 TL 03300 was annexed into the Springfield City Limits in 2009 (C-SP2009-LRP2009-000). The other four tax lots have not been annexed and are currently outside Springfield City Limits. Annexation application approval of TL 03800, TL 05100, TL 00300, and TL 00700 is required prior to development. The subject site is within Subarea D of the Glenwood Refinement Plan (GRP), adopted by the City and Lane County as a neighborhood refinement to the Metro Plan in 2012. Subsequently, the Glenwood Riverfront Mixed -Use Plan District was incorporated into the Springfield Development Code as SDC 3.4 - Eugene PoNrntlBend cameronmccartM1y.comcom EWEB Glenwood Second Source DIM Application Statement November 28, 2022 200. While the GRP and Code allow certain "low impact public utility facilities," there is no provision for "high impact public utility facilities" within the subject site's Employment Mixed Use zoning district. SDC 6.1.110 includes the following definitions for low and high impact public utility facilities: "Public Utility Facility. Structures, facilities, and equipment necessary to serve development by a government, public utility, utility cooperative, or private company. (1) Lav Impact. Telephone and cable telephone lines, poles, junction boxes, exchanges and repeater stations, electric paver distribution lines (less than 69 KV) and poles, sanitary sewer pipe lines, pumps or lift stations, storm sewer pipe lines, ditches and other storm -water management or water quality ponds, wetland, or swales, gas distribution pipe lines, water pipe lines, valves, well fields, pump stations and attendant facilities water reservoirs and water storage tanks less than 300, 000 gallons or 30 feet in height, and water treatment facilities, including fiitretion plants, less than 2.5 million gallon capactyperday. (2) High Impact. Electric power transmission lines (greater than 69 KV), poles and substations, gas pipe line valve stations, sanitary sewer treatment plants or effluent ponds, water reservoirs and water storage tanks greater than 300,000 gallons or 30 feet in height, water treatment facilities, including filtration plants greater than 2.5 million gallon capacity per day, fire/ambulance stations." As noted above, the proposed project includes an intake facility and water treatment and filtration facility. In accordance with SDC 3.4.250, low impact public utility facilities are permitted in the Employment Mixed Use zoning district. The definition of low impact facilities included in Table SDC 3.4.250 is different than in SDC 6.1.110 above, however generally consistent with the types of facilities described: "Lav impact facilities are any public or semi-public facility that is permitted subject to the design standards of this code, including, but not limited to, wastewater, stormwater management, electricity and water to serve individual homes and businesses, other utilities that have minimal olfactory, visual or auditory impacts, street lights, and fire hydrants." The proposed intake facility located on TL 3100, TL 3800, and TL 5100 is considered a low impact public facility, is consistent with the above definitions, and is permitted in the Employment Mixed Use Zoning District. The proposed water treatment and filtration facility is considered a high impact public utility facility as listed in subsection (2) above. The GRP text does not anticipate the size and type ofwater facilities proposed by EWEB. Therefore, amendments to certain GRP text and to the table for allowed uses in the SDC for the Glenwood Plan District are required for the project. The GRP and SDC amendments require approval by Springfield City Council. Plan and code amendments require City Council initiation and may be initiated by the Development and Public Works Director, the Planning Commission, the City Council, or a citizen. Following initiation and approval of the plan and code amendments, Annexation, Site Plan Review and other associated site-specific land use CAMERON McCARTHY EWEB Glenwood Second Source DIM Application Statement November 28, 2022 applications (i.e., Willamette Greenway Overlay District, Floodplain Development Overlay, and Hillside Development Overlay District) are required for the project. EWEB hopes to complete preliminary design and secure approval of the required Plan and Code amendments in 2023-2024; with site-specific permit approvals and completion of final design between 2024-2025, construction in 2025-2027, and having the plant operational by 2027-2028. The primary purpose of this development initiation meeting (DIM) is to discuss the initiation of the plan and code amendments, confirm scope of those amendments, and to discuss timing and sequencing of the other related land use approvals (Annexation, Site Plan Review, WIlamette Greenway Overlay District Development, etc.). QUESTIONS 1. The applicant proposes amendments to certain GRP text and the table of allowed uses in the SDC forthe Glenwood Plan District to enable the project. Other than those amendments, are any other plan or code amendments needed or recommended for the project as described? 2. The proposed project includes two uses, an intake facility and a water treatment and filtration facility, that are connected by associated infrastructure. Please confirm the applicable use categories for each facility based on the definitions in SDC 3.4.250 and SDC 6.1.110. 3. In accordance with SDC 5.6.105(B), amendment of adopted refinement plans, refinement plan diagrams, and SDC text may be initiated by the Director, the Planning Commission, the City Council, or a citizen. Given that there is no provision in this section for initiation of amendments by another public agency, initiation by the Director appears to be the most viable path forward. Assuming the applicant prepares all necessary background materials to support the initiation request, are City staff and the Director willing to advance the initiation request? Based on the proposed schedule, what is the preferred timing for initiation? 4. Plan and code amendments and Annexation applications require City Council review and approval, following a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Is it feasible to advance both approvals in a concurrent application (ordinance) and are there any perceived advantages (or risks) for that approach? 5. Assuming concurrent application review as discussed in question 3 above is used, are there other applications that should be considered for inclusion in the application (ordinance) (i.e. Site Plan Review, Willamette Greenway Overlay District Development, etc.)? 6. SDC 5.19.110 requires a Tree Felling Permit for the "felling of more than 5 trees 5 -inch dbh (diameter at breast height) or larger within a period of 12 consecutive months from a lot/parcel of private property "'." The proposed project will involve the felling of more than 5 trees 5 -inch dbh or larger within a calendaryear. However, the subject property is owned by EWEB, a public agency, and considered public property. Please confirm that the applicant is exempt from Tree Felling Permit applicability ifthe felling occurs on public property.
