I. THE PROJECT
Wood Springs Suites and hotels, propose to develop a hotel with approximately 122 rooms in a four-
story building on the 2.57 -acre property identified as Map 17-03-15-32, Tax Lot 00100 (the Subject
Property). Outlined below is a brief description of the project and the property, followed by issues and
questions. In advance, the applicant and its development team thank staff for their assistance.
THE PROPERTY
The site is located north of International Way,
east of the 1-5 Freeway, and is located on the
west side of Sports Way in the Gateway area
of Springfield. It is comprised of one tax lot
(Map 17-03-15-32, Tax Lot 00100) and is
approximately 2.57 acres in size. The site
abuts vacant lots to the east and west. To the
north is office facilities for Royal Caribbean
Cruises and to the south is commercial offices,
Oregon Research Institute. The lot is vacant
with assorted vegetation and trees on-site.
Sports Way is an improved Minor Collector per
Springfield Transportation System Plan.
III. QUESTIONS
1. Land Use.
a. Zoning.
The zoning is Community Commercial (CC).
The CC zone permits hotels and motels as
allowed by right (SDC 3.2.320). The Subject
Property is made up of one tax lot. The
property is within the flood zone A, which
requires a floodplain permit. The project site
is also adjacent to the Sports Way well and
within the 1 -year Time of Travel zone. This
will require an exemption from or a Drinking
Water Protection permit.
Q: Does staff concur with the zoning
and land use permits required?

Development In Aiation Meeting—Questions
Map 17-03-15-32 Tax Lot W100
Page 2 of 3
Section 4.6.125 has parking requirements for hotels and motels. The required parking is one
(1) space per each guest room. The applicant is proposing 122 spaces based on the 122
rooms in the proposed hotel. The bicycle parking is listed in SDC 4.6.155 and requires 1
space per ten (10) rentable rooms. The multi -story hotel will have 122 rooms requiring 13
bicycle spaces, 10 of which would be long term (75%), sheltered spaces and 4 would be
required as short-term bike parking.
Q: Does staff concur with the parking quantity and bike parking requirements?
2. Utilities.
a. Stormwater.
• Onsite storm water drains to the north/
northeast to a natural low point on site.
Destination beyond this low point is
unknown. There is an existing public line in
Sports Way (48 -inch Concrete line), on the
east side of the lot with a 12 -inch private
storm line stub into the subject property.
Flow direction appears to be to the north
through the adjoining property. The
applicant plans to fill the site and modify the
natural drainage meeting stoonwaterwater
detention and water quality requirements as
required and a connection to the city piped
system via. the existing stormwater stub to
the property or a new connection to the
public stone line if required.
Q: Does staff agree with our stormwater strategy?
Sanitary, Water, Gas and Electric.
Sanitary sewer, water, and electric are
provide along Sports Way, with sewer flow
direction to the south and other services to
the south. Gas service and fiber optics are
also available along Sports Way road. The
existing 8 -inch public sewer line with an 8 -
inch stub appears to be adequate to serve
this project capacity and needs.
Q: Does staff concur car see any need for
any utility extensions?

Map 17-03-15-32 Tax Lot W100
3. Access.
a. Driveway.
Access to the Subject Property is proposed via the existing Sports Way road on the east
edge. Although there is an existing curb cut serving the property, the proposed entry will
require a modification and partial relocation of the existing entry. The southern entryway is
280 feet from the southern property driveway, and the northerly entrance is 96 feet from the
northern properties' driveway. Sports Way is classified as a Minor Collector and as such the
driveway spacing is 100 feet. Based upon the current draft plan a request for an approval of
one entrance below spacing may be considered. See Site Plan.
Q: Does staff concur with the driveway conffgurettons? Are there any tire( emergency
vehicle access concems based on the proposed design?
4. Fire.
There is a hydrant on the east side of Sports Way approximately mid -block from the property.
The hydrant is within 500' radius of the whole property. We are not sure if there is a hydrant
flow test available or conducted. Based upon the building floors and construction type, a
standpipe with an FDC may be required.
Q: Does the Fire staff have comments and information related to hydrants and how it
will serve this project. Are there any other fire department comments or concerns?
5. 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?
This concludes the applicant's Development Initiation Meeting questions. In advance the applicant wishes
to express their appreciation of staff time and effort in preparing responses to these questions.
Sincerely,
John Schmidt

The key to successful property development in Oregon is thorough research and analysis of prospective
regulations and requirements. This is followed by the planning, design, and regulatory approval
processes. Success comes by taking things one step at a time; each step providing clarity and focus for
the next round of activity. The first step is research and analysis, where land use requirements are
identified and a foundation for the next steps in the process is established.
Presented below are the results of this initial land use analysis. This analysis is based on available public
data. It documents known or discovered existing conditions and potentially applicable land use
regulations. It is based on what is known at this time. Additional data may be discovered as the project
progresses, resulting in modifications to what is presented herein.
BACKGROUND
A. Planning Context
Local long-range land use is governed
by the Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan
Area General Plan (Metro Plan); often
supplemented with a more specific
refinement plan and/or neighborhood
plan. The Metro Plan and if applicable,
refinement plan, is then followed by site-
specific zoning. Sometimes, zoning is
comprised of base zoning and additional
overlay zones. For the subject property,
the Metro Plan, Gateway Refinement
Plan, and Springfield Zoning Map are
applicable to the subject property.
Additional Planning documents,
including the Springfield Transportation
System Plan, the Springfield Stormwater
Facilities Master Plan and Wastewater
MasterPlan also apply.

0 5.1.120 Pre -Development Meetings.
5.17.100 Site Plan Review.
III. LAND USE APPLICATIONS
Land use approval is required prior to the issuance of any building permits. Required land use
applications for the subject property, in sequential order, are as follows.
A. Development Issues Meetings (SDC 5.1.120A)
1. A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) is required for certain land use applications. For other
applications, a Development Issues Meeting is voluntary. (It is required for Site Plan Review
applications). Regardless of whether required or voluntary, a DIM is an excellent opportunity
to present a development proposal and ask questions of city staff prior to generating a
particular application. The meeting is tailored to address specific issues or concerns.
2. As part of the Development Issues Meeting process, the City of Springfield distributes
application material to key staff that review, prepare for, and attend the meeting.
3. As this is not a land use decision, no'decision' is issued. However, there is a take -away of
city responses to submitted questions.
4. Meetings are generally scheduled 10 to 15 working days from application submittal.
B. Site Plan Review (SDC 5.17.100)
1. Site Plan Review is a Type II land use application that provides a process to regulate the
manner in which land is used and developed, ensuring compliance with various public
policies and objectives. In Springfield, Site Plan Review is required for most new
developments, additions, or expansions. It is a Planning Director decision and includes public
notice, but no public hearing.
C. Final Site Plan Review (SDC 5.17.135)
1. The Final Site Plan submittal incorporates all approval conditions from the Site Plan Review
decision into a revised set of plans. Upon approval of Final Site Plan review, the city executes
a Development Agreement which is then signed by the applicant.

D. Drinking Water Protection (SDC 3.3.200)
1. The Drinking Water Protection (DWP) Overlay District was established to protect aquifers
used as potable water supply sources from contamination. DWP requirements establish
procedures and standards for the physical use and storage of hazardous or other materials
harmful to groundwater by requiring development approval for new and existing land uses.
Drinking Water Protection is a Type I procedure — no public notice and staff decision.
E. Floodplain Development (SDC 3.3.400)
1. The Floodplain (FP) Overlay District was established to promote public health, safety, and
general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific
areas. Development proposals must follow specific standards, including minimum elevations.
Floodplain Development is a Type I procedure— no public notice and staff decision.
IV. PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN
A preliminary site plan has been generated for the proposed development. A site plan has immense
value in assisting with initial land use analysis and in providing an explanation and asking questions
in a pre -application meeting.
