Willamalane Park Swim Center
Minimum Development Standards Narrative
1.0 Introduction
Willamalane needs extra storage space to accommodate the requirements of the swim team that
regularly use the swim center pool for training and competitions. Due to lack of adequate space within
the building, it is proposed to add a refurbished shipping container outside of the building to use for
equipment storage on a temporary basis.
1.1 Applicant’s request
Willamalane requests approval of the project through Minimum Development Standards (MDS) Review.
1.2 Existing Use
The location for the shipping container is to the west of the swim center building in an open area that is
currently fenced with 6’ chain link fencing. See photos for location and context. The fencing will be
temporarily removed to place the container. Access to the container will be from the side with the
addition of a new door.
Proposed location for container View from G Street
1.3 Land Use Requirements and Environmental Constraints
The site is zoned as Public Land and Open Space (PLO). The site is within 20 year TOTZ for wellhead
protection. The site is entirely outside of the 500 year floodplain according to the FEMA floodplain map.
No wetlands are located on site according to Springfield’s Local Wetland Inventory, or Water Quality
Limited Watercourses.
1.4 Proposed Development
Willamalane proposes to place a 40’ long by 8’ wide refurbished shipping container on site. A gravel pad
will be constructed prior to placement of the container. The container will be on site as a temporary
solution until the Willamalane Park master plan is finalized and implemented. This may be a minimum of
two years.
1.5 Utilities
No utilities will be disturbed or added as a result of the proposal.
1.6 Springfield Development Code (SDC) Review Criteria
To approve the proposed application, it must be found that the request complies with the applicable
criteria as outlined in the SDC. Approval of the land use applications is contingent upon an applicant
demonstrating that the subject proposal is consistent with the SDC chapter 5.15.100 Minimum
Development Standards.
To facilitate a review of Willamalane’s proposal, this narrative addresses those sections of 5.15.100 that
are deemed relevant to the application. Only the criteria to which a response is deemed necessary has
been included in the following paragraphs.
1.7 MDS Review application
Willamalane’s response to the SDC sections deemed applicable is as follows:
5.15.125 Approval Standards
No alterations of the parking lot, sidewalk etc. are proposed. Existing landscaping, planters, street trees
etc. will be retained in place.
The shipping container will be used for storage on a temporary basis. It is enclosed, so additional
landscaping is not proposed. Plastic screening slats could be added to the chain link fencing if required.
Bike parking exists at the main entrance to the swim center.
Parking spaces will not be modified.
Storm water runoff will be directed via sheet flow off the container to the gravel pad and adjacent
landscape areas.
1.8 Attachments
The following pdf attachments are provided in support of the MDS application.
1. Copy of topographic survey at 22”x 34”
2. Site Plan – detail area at 11”x17”
