Staff Phone No: 541-736-1038 Estimated Time: 30 Minutes COMMITTEE FOR CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT (CCI) Council Goals: Mandate ITEM TITLE: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN: WETLAND & RIPARIAN INVENTORIES
FOR UGB EXPANSION AREAS
ACTION REQUESTED: Review and approve, or approve with modifications, a Community Engagement Plan for the Wetland & Riparian Inventories for UGB Expansion Areas project.
ISSUE STATEMENT: In accordance with Springfield’s adopted citizen involvement policies and Statewide
Planning Goal 1: Citizen Involvement, staff prepared a draft Community Engagement Plan for the forthcoming updates and amendments to the Springfield Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories and Natural Resources Study. Staff request input on and
approval of the draft Community Engagement Plan.
ATTACHMENTS: ATTACHMENT 1: Draft Community Engagement Plan ATTACHMENT 2: Grant Agreement for Oregon Department of Land Conservation & Development Technical Assistance Grant Funds
DISCUSSION: In an effort to promote and enhance citizen involvement in the City’s planning processes, Springfield’s Committee for Citizen Involvement reviews, evaluates, and approves proposed actions to encourage public participation during the formulation and adoption of land use policies and amendments to land use plans. These considerations
form the basis of the City’s Community Engagement Plans. The Community Engagement Plan for the Wetland & Riparian Inventories for UGB Expansion Areas project (Attachment 1):
• Provides information about the inventory project;
• Presents proposed strategies to adhere to when involving the public in this stage of the land use planning process based on the project’s parameters and timeline; and,
• Identifies goals to reference prior to initiating a strategy to engage potentially interested and/or affected parties and to reference afterward when assessing the success of the process used. The overall purpose of this Community Engagement Plan is to encourage and maintain open channels of effective communication between the City, other members of the project team, and the public throughout the project. This Plan contains a framework for engagement similar to that created for the inventories of wetlands and riparian areas in the Glenwood area, which informed an update to the Springfield Natural Resources Study in 2011.
This inventory project is made possible by a Technical Assistance Grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and local funds. A copy of the Grant Agreement is provided as Attachment 2.
I. INTRODUCTION
This Community Engagement Plan (“Engagement Plan”) describes activities that the City of Springfield
will undertake as part of the Wetland & Riparian Inventories for UGB Expansion Areas project. This
Engagement Plan highlights the project’s strategies for ensuring that interested and affected parties,
together with the project team, receive and provide meaningful input to one another. This Engagement
Plan is designed with the general public, decision makers, Oregon Department of Land Conservation &
Development (DLCD) Grant Managers, and the project team in mind as the intended audience.
II. PROJECT BACKGROUND
Since the State’s acknowledgement of Springfield’s urban growth boundary (UGB) expansion in March
2019, the City is now able to make progress on implementing a planning framework for how and where
future development may occur in the areas where the UGB expanded (“UGB expansion areas”). The
purpose of this project is to further one of several ways to address this need. Future development actions
and other activities within the UGB expansion areas rely on an understanding of the land’s existing
characteristics—including its natural resources—to make informed decisions on best uses and the siting
of those uses. Protection measures for these resources must be adopted for compliance with Oregon
Statewide Planning Goal 5. To comply with Goal 5, the inventory will result in updates to the Springfield
Natural Resources Study. The most recent update to the Study (2011) included findings and protections
for resources found in Glenwood. This project will primarily follow the methods used for this previous
work.
This inventory project is made possible by a Technical Assistance Grant from DLCD and local matching
funds. These funds enabled the project to benefit from the support of the Lane Council of Governments
(LCOG) staff as members of the project team who bring extensive experience with local governments’
efforts to adopt natural resource-based planning documents, many of which were implemented through
DLCD grant programs. LCOG brings relevant knowledge to the City of Springfield, having managed the
wetland and riparian inventory and assessment process for the Glenwood area.
As of the date of this Engagement Plan, the City is actively soliciting consultant services through a
Request for Proposals process to hire a wetlands consultant in May 2020. Upon completion of the
inventory, updates to the Springfield Natural Resources Study will involve co-adoption by the City of
Springfield and Lane County.
The goals of the inventory project balance values of natural resources and open space with the need to provide available land for employment and institutional opportunities. Specific goals are:
Further Springfield’s conformance with the Springfield Comprehensive Plan1 .
1 Applicable policies include: Urbanization Policy 45: Continue efforts to restore, enhance, and manage the
Springfield Mill Race to fulfill multiple community objectives. Partner with Willamalane and Springfield Utility Board to provide public access to the Mill Race where appropriate.; Urbanization Policy 47: Prior to approval of a plan amendment or zone change that permits urban levels of development within the North Gateway or Mill Race
Attachment 1, Page 1 of 6
2
Promote a healthy, safe, and clean community by making wise use of natural resources.
Enable urbanization of Springfield’s designated employment areas by meeting State-mandated
planning requirements based on Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 5.
Identify ways to enhance Springfield’s work by addressing other Statewide Planning Goals:
quality air, water, and land (Goal 6); natural hazards (Goal 7); recreation (Goal 8); and economic
development (Goal 9).
Provide better certainty for developers by making development decisions streamlined and
predictable.
The goals of this Engagement Plan are consistent with the overall purpose of the project.
III. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN GOALS
At the foundation of this Engagement Plan is an understanding of the extent and type of activities needed
to convey technical, scientific data in a clear manner. An understanding of how to reconcile potentially
competing interests and priorities to reach policy decisions will also guide the project’s success.
Timely Communication: Provide stakeholders a project team that is accessible and responsive.
Accurate and Understandable Communication: Target outreach in a manner that offers
platforms for quality input from stakeholders to ensure that the project results in quality outcomes.
Specifically, to facilitate effective communication with affected and interested stakeholders so that
the community’s values of Springfield’s natural resources are understood.
Agency Collaboration and Public Service: Communicate actively with TEAM Springfield2
agency partners to allow them to consider if and how the knowledge gained from this project will
help TEAM Springfield fulfill their shared missions to ultimately serve the public.
Appropriate Scaling: Develop engagement strategies and conduct outreach activities
commensurate with the level appropriate for this type of work.
Respect: Ensure that all views and perspectives will be acknowledged and balanced where
possible.
Alignment with Critical Dates: Enable the project tasks to occur at the most advantageous
times to obtain and provide optimal information and to fulfill the terms of the Grant Agreement.
Reliability and Adaptability: Serve as a guiding document and resource for the project team
when questions arise and/or the need to revisit strategies becomes apparent.
District urbanizable lands, the Springfield Local Wetland Inventory shall be updated in accordance with Statewide Planning Goal 5 and Goal 5 administrative rules requirements. 2 TEAM Springfield includes the Springfield Utility Board, Willamalane Park & Recreation District, Springfield Public Schools, and the City of Springfield.

IV. STAKEHOLDERS
Though the inventories will be limited to the UGB expansion areas, parties who may have an interest in
the project are not necessarily limited to being physically located within these geographic boundaries.
Some of the stakeholders identified include:
Property owners in the UGB expansion area whose land accommodates (or may accommodate
in the future) a range of residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, and/or institutional uses.
Specifically:
- Private property owners, Willamalane Park & Recreation District (property owner;
environmental, recreational, and educational interest)
- Springfield Utility Board (property owner; environmental interest)
- Eugene Water& Electric Board (property owner)
- Oregon Department of Transportation (property owner)
Within the larger Springfield area and surrounding region:
- General public
- Employers who may choose to locate within the expansion area
- City and county appointed and elected officials with the role of representing these community
perspectives
- Land, water, and wildlife conservation interests
- Transportation providers with adjacent rights-of-way
V. PROCESS OVERVIEW
The data collected by the consultant will inform which wetlands and riparian
areas will be protected with locally-adopted policies and regulations. The results
of the inventory and assessment will be more accurate if property owners within
the UGB expansion areas allow the consultant physical access to their properties
for on-site data collection. Input from stakeholders will be considered to verify
the information presented by the consultant, and to determine the appropriate
local protections for each identified wetland and riparian area in compliance with
State law.
After the inventory and assessment is approved by the Oregon Department of
State Lands, proposed policies and regulations to protect the identified resources
will go through a land use approval process. The process will begin with the
Springfield (and possibly Lane County) Planning Commission(s), providing a
recommendation to the Springfield City Council and Lane County Board on the
Comprehensive Plan amendments needed to protect the natural resources.

VI. PROCESS STRATEGIES
The opportunities for working with the community on the project must follow the scope of the Grant
Agreement. As noted, the scope of the Grant Agreement establishes the framework of tasks where
community engagement is anticipated for the project. The project scope provides an outline for the
anticipated strategies as shown below. Task 1 of the project scope is to approve this Community
Engagement Plan. The outline below begins with Task 2.
Oregon Administrative Rules and Oregon Revised Statutes prescribe phases of the inventory process
where input from the public is required. The most recent inventories and assessments of wetlands and
riparian areas in Springfield and the subsequent update to the Springfield Natural Resources Study in
2011 proceeded with public involvement consistent with State law.
While the strategies in this Community Engagement Plan generally follow this previously successful
framework, the project team proposes actions to adapt to actions necessary to address the COVID-19
emergency. In some instances, certain tasks must differ in response, whereas others later on in the
project identify contingency tasks. Effective conveyance of information through a variety of means will
continuously serve as a fundamental principle of this Engagement Plan.
Task 2: Wetland & Riparian Inventory & Assessment
Send letter and request access permission to property owners within the areas to be studied as
required by State law (April 2020). This letter must be clear about what is being asked of
property owners and also introduce them to the project. In the letter:
- Invite property owners to contact staff. Under current requirements for COVID-19, contact
will be limited to phone calls and e-mails. In-person meetings can occur once allowed.
- Create awareness of the project webpage.
- Ensure that the letter expresses that the needs and circumstances of each property owner
will be accommodated.
Develop project webpage and project materials. The webpage will summarize the purpose of the
project, offer educational materials, be a resource for project documents and updates, provide
staff contact information, and may serve as the location for a virtual open house or other public
forum as further described in Task 3.
Create and maintain an e-list for sending out periodic e-updates about the project; sign up form
will be on the project webpage. With permission from interested parties, staff can also add
parties’ information directly to the list instead of requiring completion of the sign up form.
Open House (Fall 2020 or Winter 2020/21)
- Hold open house to reveal the results of the draft inventories to the affected property owners
to answer questions and provide any additional information they may have prior to finalizing
the inventory and assessment. The City may also seek input about potential options for
resource protection.
Attachment 1, Page 4 of 6

- Hold open house on a day and time that will result in the greatest likelihood of the open
house being well-attended. Potentially host at a location potentially near the majority of the
properties inventoried (e.g., a Willamalane facility). Place materials and summary of open
house on project webpage.
Contingency location for COVID-19: Hold virtual open house. Interactive method is to be
determined (i.e., live, content provided in advance and available for a specified range of
time, a combination of both, etc.).
- Announce the open house through appropriate media platforms (e.g., direct mailings to
property owners, webpage, social media, etc.); clarify in announcements the date by which
the City needs notification of requests for Spanish translation services; and, ensure that the
public is aware that the City will accommodate accessibility-related needs.
Within 120 days of approval of the inventory by the Oregon Department of State Lands, mail
notice to landowners whose lots contain or abut a mapped or probable wetland.
Task 3: Develop Protection Measures
Ensure that partner agencies are involved in this process (e.g., Oregon Department of State
Lands, DLCD, Willamalane Park & Recreation District, Springfield Utility Board, Lane County,
etc.).
Allow for input from stakeholders on policy options by posting a memo of potential protection
mechanisms on the website and notifying interested parties of the opportunity to comment.
Continue to be available by phone and e-mail. Any meetings requested by interested parties
should be considered according to the applicable public health requirements in place at that time.
Share memo of potential protection mechanisms with Springfield and Lane County Planning
Commissions (potentially), Springfield City Council, and Lane County Board as appropriate.
Communicate with Springfield and Lane County Planning Commissions, Springfield City Council,
and the Lane County Board as needed (e.g., memorandum and/or Work Session). Ensure the
public is aware that such sessions are open to attend and that the City can accommodate
accessibility-related needs when notified in advance of the Work Session.
Task 4: Prepare Adoption-Ready Inventory & Assessment Policy Language
Continue to be available by phone and e-mail. Any meetings requested by interested parties
should be considered according to the applicable public health requirements in place at that time.
Task 5: Adopt Plan Amendments (Spring – Fall 2021)
Advertise joint City/County Public Hearings in legal notices section of the Register-Guard.
Provide Public Hearing agendas and/or agenda packets to interested parties who have asked for
such notification.
Post information concerning proposed amendment and dates of joint City/County Public Hearings
on City website, at City Hall, and other appropriate locations.

Ensure that the public is aware that the City will accommodate accessibility-related needs when
notified in advance.
VII. PROJECT TIMELINE
An Intergovernmental Agreement between the City and LCOG was fully executed in January 2020. Also
in January 2020, the City and DLCD finalized the Grant Agreement. The project became officially active
in February 2020.
To meet the terms of the Grant Agreement, Springfield and Lane County must either:
Co-adopt the update to the Natural Resources Study pursuant to the Plan Amendment process
by May 31, 2021; or,
Provide evidence in the form of draft adoption-ready products that provide substantial evidence of
a reasonable effort to adopt the Plan Amendments in September 2021.
Due to the inherent uncertainties of timelines associated with the adoption processes for amending
comprehensive planning-related documents, staff is prepared for the possibility that adoption may extend
into Fall 2021. The visual project timeline summarizes the targeted dates and duration of each task. As
shown below, working with the community to share knowledge and determine outcomes will occur
throughout the duration of the project. Task 1, Community Engagement Plan, is on schedule.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET
PROJECT PURPOSE STATEMENT City of Springfield Local Wetland & Riparian Inventories & Assessments for Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) Expansion Areas
Springfield is currently home to 61,000 residents and part of the larger Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area with 230,000 residents and growing. Springfield officials recognize natural areas as critical assets to sustaining healthy communities. This project is critical to informing thoughtful growth in areas rich with natural resources. The possibility of this project could not be timelier. With the
recently acknowledged expansion of Springfield’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) (acknowledged
March 2019), Springfield has the opportunity to take a holistic look at these urbanizable areas and plan for multiple functions and places that fulfill a variety of needs, particularly in the north Gateway and Mill Race expansion areas given their designation as large employment sites suitable for accommodating Springfield’s target industries. The city’s Commercial & Industrial Buildable Land
Inventory and Economic Opportunities Analysis (2015) identified this deficiency. Property owners in
the North Gateway area in particular are anxious to develop their properties, but recognize the need to first update the Springfield Natural Resources Inventory, including adoption of a list of significant resource sites in accordance with Statewide Planning Goal 5 and administrative rules.
As a function of this grant award, Springfield will conduct Local Wetland and Riparian Inventories and
Assessments within the North Gateway and Mill Race UGB expansion areas. These areas are designated for future employment uses. Natural Resource, Land Use, and Economic Development plans and programs will incorporate the results of the inventories and assessments.
The overall purpose of the project is to inventory and assess the local wetlands and riparian areas
within Springfield’s two UGB expansion areas. This work will assist in achieving the following goals: 1. Meet a planning requirement leading to ultimate urbanization of the designated employment areas 2. Provide some certainty for developers by making development decisions predictable
3. Promote a healthy, safe and clean community while enhancing, protecting, and making wise
use of natural resources. The project will directly address the wetland and riparian requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 5 - Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces requirements for the expansion areas.
Information generated from the inventory and assessment will also provide opportunities to coordinate
with and enhance Springfield’s work toward achieving Goal 6 – Air, Water and Land Resources Quality; Goal 7 – Areas Subject to Natural Hazards; Goal 8 – Recreation Needs policy and programming; and Goal 9 – Economic Development.
The aforementioned goals will accomplish the following objectives:
Objective 1: Conduct local wetland and riparian area inventory and assessment by applying Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology (OFWAM) for significance determination. Objective 2: Apply Wetland Assessment for Planning in Oregon (WAPO) methodology to a subset of wetlands to “beta test” WAPO tools and compare WAPO results to OFWAM results.
Objective 3: Develop resource protection policy options for consideration.
Attachment 2, Page 9 of 30
Department of Land Conservation and Development Page 9 of 28 2019-2021 General Fund Grant Agreement – City of Springfield TA-21-203
Objective 4: Select resource protection measures, develop, and adopt relevant comprehensive plan
amendments. The intended outcome of the inventories and resultant policies is to broaden, improve, and diversify the Springfield economy while maintaining or enhancing environmental quality and natural heritage.
Springfield and Lane County co-adopted Springfield’s UGB expansion areas to meet Springfield’s
economic/employment needs while including areas with substantial natural resources that have potential to serve as public assets (e.g., new areas designated Public Land & Open Space and areas within the floodplain). Careful consideration and integration of natural resource goals and objectives into these and related efforts is a critical first step to conserve the ecological health of these finite
natural resources, to effectively implement economic policies identified in the Springfield
Comprehensive Plan, and to create additional employment opportunities that provide adequate wages to support households For example, Economic Policy #26 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan states: “Develop and apply
new development standards to lands added to the Springfield UGB prior to annexation and
development to ensure that new development contributes to a healthy, safe, and clean community while enhancing, protecting and making wise use of natural resources.” Ultimately, the project will provide predictability to development, streamline the permit review process, and support principles that are at the foundation of our livelihoods—protecting the natural resources upon which we depend,
particularly should the need for a Goal 5 Economic, Social, Environmental and Energy Consequences
(ESEE) analysis be identified and satisfied. PROJECT OVERVIEW AND MANAGEMENT Overall management of the Project will be the responsibility of the Grantee as assisted by the DLCD Grant Manager. Specific Project management duties of Grantee will include: a. Organizing and managing the advisory committee; b. Selecting a consultant and contracting for consultant services; c. Overseeing consultant work described in this Project Description;
d. Scheduling and managing meetings, including activities such as, preparing and distributing meeting notices, agendas, and summaries; and assisting the consultant with meeting facilitation. Advisory Committees The Project will develop and implement a Community Engagement Plan (CEP) in conjunction with the
Springfield Planning Commission. The Planning Commission in its role as the Committee for Citizen Involvement will ensure that there are adequate opportunities for public involvement. The Planning Commission will also review Project materials, advise on technical and policy issues, and ultimately provide a recommendation to the City Council. As appropriate, staff from Lane County, Lane Council of Governments (LCOG), DLCD, and Department of State Lands will join City staff at Planning
Commission and City Council Project meetings. The Project will not employ a formal technical advisory committee or project advisory committee. Agency Role DLCD will provide financial, administrative and technical assistance to the Project.
Consultant Role The Project will employ LCOG consultant services to perform technical analyses related to Task 2 (Wetland & Riparian Area Inventory & Assessment), Task 3 (Develop Protection Measures), and Task 4 (Prepare Adoption-Ready Inventory & Assessment & Policy Language)). LCOG staff will assist in
