DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The applicant initiated the annexation request by submittal of a complete application on August
25, 2023. In accordance with SDC 5.7.155 and ORS 222.040, 222.180 and 222.465, if approved
the annexation will become effective 30 days following Ordinance adoption and signature by the
Mayor, or upon acknowledgement by the State, whichever date is later.
The territory requested for annexation is a vacant, rectangular-shaped parcel that abuts Thurston
Middle School on the western boundary and is located at the northern terminus of 65th Street. The
property is currently zoned for R-1 Residential District uses and is designated Low Density
Residential on the City’s Comprehensive Plan diagram. The subject property is located inside the
City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and it abuts the City limits line along the western, southern
and southeastern boundaries. Concurrently with annexation of the subject property the site will be
rezoned to remove the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay (UF-10). Land development limitations
imposed by the UF-10 overlay will no longer apply upon annexation.
As outlined in the attached staff report (Attachment 2, Exhibit D), the applicant will be preparing
a sewer capacity analysis confirming that the annexation area can be served with the minimum
level of key urban facilities and services as required in the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan –
Urbanization Element. The attached staff report provides details about what will be required for
the proposal to meet the criteria of approval for annexations as established in SDC 5.7.140.
Recommendation: The subject property meets the standards and provisions of the Springfield
Development Code and applicable state statutes for annexation with the addition of a special
acknowledgement clause requiring a sanitary sewer capacity analysis as outlined in the attached
Annexation Agreement. Council is requested to conclude the public hearing and consider
adopting the ordinance annexing the property to the City and Willamalane Park & Recreation
District and withdrawing the territory from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District.

Annexation Approval Criteria are found in Section 5. 7-140 of the Springfield Development Code
SDC). Applicable sections of the Code are in bold italics followed by proposed findings of facts in
normal text.
SDC 5.7-140. An annexation 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 contiguous to the city limits; or separated from the City only by a
public right-of-way or a stream, lake, or other body of water.
Response: The affected territory is located within the city's urban growth boundary and is
contiguous to the city limits on its southern, eastern, and western boundaries.
Given this, criterion 5. 7-140(A) is met.
B. The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable polices in the Metro Plan and in
any applicable refinement plan or Plan Districts;
Response: The subject property is
designated Low Density Residential on the
Eugene/Springfield Metro Plan diagram.

Springfield, the Urbanizable Fringe (UF -10)
overlay will no longer apply, and the site will
be zoned Low Density Residential. The
applicant, SUB, may apply for a subsequent
Zone Change to change the property to
Public Lands Open Space (PLO). This
designation on the property allows
government facilities and will allow SUB to
construct a water treatment plant.

ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Page 1 of 7
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
This Annexation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between the City of Springfield, an
Oregon municipal corporation (“City”) and Springfield Utility Board (“APPLICANT”).
RECITALS
A. APPLICANT owns the parcel of land legally described in Exhibit A, the Property. The
property is proximate to the jurisdictional limits of the City and is subject to annexation by
the City of Springfield.
B. APPLICANT has submitted to the City a request for Annexation, dated August 25, 2023, for
Assessor’s Map No. 17-02-27-00, Tax Lot 02002, which is not currently municipally
addressed and is more particularly described in Exhibit A.
C. APPLICANT wishes to annex the Property to the City and seeks support from the City for
the annexation.
D. The Property is inside the recognized Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Springfield.
The Property is within the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District (UF-10) according to the
Springfield Zoning Map, and the underlying zoning is R-1 residential district.
E. Annexation of the Property requires a showing under SDC 5.7.140(C) that the Property can
be provided with the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as defined in Policy
31 of the Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan – Urbanization Element, and such showing is
supported by the substantial evidence in the record of the proceeding on this annexation.
City staff has determined the minimum level of key urban services is currently available to
the Property.
F. The purpose of this Agreement is to memorialize APPLICANT’s and City’s commitment
and agreement to the allocation of financial responsibility for public facilities and services
for the Property and other users of the facilities, sufficient to meet the City’s requirements
for the provision of key urban services, including long term public sanitary sewer,
stormwater management systems, interconnected transportation systems, and Fire and Life
Safety services necessary for an affirmative City recommendation for the annexation
request.

Attn: Current Development Division
Development & Public Works Department
225 Fifth Street
Springfield, OR 97477
Exhibit C Page 1 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 33 of 47
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Page 2 of 7
G. A public sanitary sewer system with sufficient capacity to serve the Property and other
existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity of the Property is necessary to support a
finding that this key urban service is available to serve the Property.
• An existing public sanitary sewer system is located in 65th Street with adequate
capacity for a residential development at typical densities. The 8” main is not sized
to support waste process water from a water treatment plant.
H. A public stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to serve the Property and
other existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity of the Property is also necessary to
support a finding that this key urban service is available to serve the Property.
• An existing public storm sewer system is located along the western property
boundary with sufficient capacity to accept runoff from the site, after appropriate
onsite treatment per the requirements in the Springfield Development code effective
at the time of site plan application.
I. An interconnected transportation system with the existing and proposed land uses in the
vicinity of the Property is also required in order to provide access and a transportation
system for the provision of Fire and Life Safety services to and from the annexed property.
• The Property has legal and physical access to the current end of 65th Street. The
portion of the adjacent property also owned by SUB (17-02-27-00-02003) that will
form part of the water treatment plant that is outside the UGB also has frontage along
66th Street which is in the UGB and currently unimproved.
• City block length standards for future development require this lot to have a road
connection from 65th Street to 66th Street. Additional right-of-way dedication or a
public access easement and provisions for installation of a muti-use path will be
required for access from the existing neighborhood from the east through the site to
Thurston Middle School.
• The existing neighborhood to the south along 65th Street to Thurston Road does not
currently have any secondary emergency access. The current number of homes from
the single access point at 65th Street and Thurston Road is in excess of the current
limit of no more than 30 dwellings without a secondary emergency access. The
development of this lot with a high impact public utility installation will require a
secondary emergency access for the existing homes on 65th street. This secondary
emergency access may be combined with the required pedestrian access required
above.
J. To facilitate orderly development of the Property and ensure the full provision of key urban
services that are satisfactory to the City and meet the City’s conditions for an affirmative
recommendation for annexation to the Common Council, and in exchange for the
obligations of the City set forth below, APPLICANT shall comply with all requirements
imposed on APPLICANT in this Agreement.
Now, therefore based upon the foregoing Recitals, which are specifically made a part of this
Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
Exhibit C Page 2 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 34 of 47
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Page 3 of 7
AGREEMENT
1. Obligations of APPLICANT. Consistent with the above Recitals, APPLICANT agrees to
perform the obligations set forth in this section.
1.1.1. Upon development of the property as a water treatment plant, APPLICANT shall
provide public right-of-way or a public access easement from the current end of 65th
Street to the School District property on the west (TL 17-02-34-12-00500) and to the
eastern private lot (TL 17-02-3-12-00100) of at least 12 feet in width to
accommodate a 10-foot wide multiuse path. The exact location of this path can be
determined as part of the land use application.
1.1.2. Upon development of the property as a water treatment plant, APPLICANT shall
provide an emergency access route from the current end of 65th Street to either the
Thurston Middle School property or the eastern property boundary with TL 17-02-
34-12-00100, or both. The requirement for the public access easement (in Section
1.1.1 above) may be combined with the emergency access route requirement in this
clause.
1.1.3. Upon application of land use approval for a water treatment plant, APPLICANT
must provide a detailed capacity analysis for any planned process water discharges to
the public sewer system in accordance with the requirements in Chapter 2 of the
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM). The applicant
will construct any upgrades to sewer capacity shown by that analysis using the City
of Springfield’s Public Improvement Permit (PIP) process or other applicable City
permit process, with the full cost to be paid by APPLICANT. If the development of
the water treatment plant will occur in phases, the construction of the off-site
capacity improvements may be postponed until needed by that phase per the
approved capacity analysis but must be done in a single project per land use
approval. SUB water has prepared 12 discharge flow rate scenarios and modeled
those different scenarios in cooperation with the City of Springfield Wastewater
Master Plan models and presented the results in a sewer capacity analysis
memorandum (Technical Memorandum: Thurston Road Sewer Capacity Evaluation
Results and Discussion (Consor, April 27, 2023)). That capacity analysis can be
used to meet this requirement as long as the approved site plan matches one of the
modeled scenarios in the capacity analysis and meets the requirements of chapter 2
of the EDSPM for limits of the study at the flow rate specified.
1.1.4. The City of Springfield charges System Development Fees (SDC) for sewers based
on Drainage Fixture Units (DFU) for typical uses per the adopted plumbing code for
the City of Springfield. The primary load to the system from this development will
be ‘wastewater’ from the treatment process and this does not fit into the standard
DFU table. The applicant agrees to pay the local sewer system development charges
based on Drainage Fixture Unit equivalent for the discharge level per the approved
maximum discharge set by the site plan and building plan approvals. The conversion
rate for Drainage Fixture Units to Gallons Per Minute is 1 DFU is 7.48 GPM.
1.1.5. The applicant agrees to obtain all the required permits and pay all charges for
industrial discharge into the sewer system as determined by Metro Wastewater
Management Commission (MWMC) which operates the sewage treatment plant
located in Eugene and all conveyances to reach the treatment plant after the effluent
leaves the City of Springfield sewer system. This changeover occurs at the
Exhibit C Page 3 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 35 of 47
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Page 4 of 7
intersection of West D and Aspen at the former location of Springfield’s sewage
treatment plant prior to the formation of MWMC.
1.1.6. In the event any part of the subject property is developed for residential uses, the
development will be required to meet the above-referenced local street connectivity
requirements at the time of development, with all costs paid by the APPLICANT or
its successor. Construction of public improvements must occur through the City of
Springfield Public Improvement Permit process or other applicable City permit
process.
1.2. APPLICANT shall provide and be financially responsible for the provision of any
additional urban facilities and services identified during the review and approval of any
land division or site plan review, as necessary to serve the further development of the
Property, including the construction and maintenance thereof.
1.3. In determining APPLICANT’s share of costs for the improvements described in this
Agreement, the full cost for the provision of the improvements at the time of construction
shall be used. For the purposes of this Agreement, the full cost shall include design,
construction, acquisition of land and/or easements, studies, permits from all agencies
having jurisdiction, attorney’s fees, and all other costs reasonably associated with the
implementation of the needed improvements.
2. Obligations of City. Consistent with the above Recitals, City agrees to:
2.1 Process the annexation request for the Property to the City before the Common Council,
and support APPLICANT’s defense of any appeal of a decision to the City. However, the
City will not assume any financial responsibility to provide legal counsel on appeal.
3. Covenants Running With the Land. It is the intention of the parties that the covenants herein are
necessary for the annexation and development of the Property and as such shall run with the
Property and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, assigns, administrators, and successors
of the parties hereto, and shall be construed to be a benefit to and burden upon the Property.
This Agreement shall be recorded, at APPLICANT’s expense, upon its execution in the Lane
County Deeds and Records. This Agreement may be assigned by APPLICANT and shall
benefit any assigns or successors in interest to APPLICANT. Execution of this Agreement is a
precondition to the support of the City for annexation of the Property described in Exhibit A to
the City. Accordingly, the City retains all rights for enforcement of this Agreement.
4. Limitations on the Development. No portion of the Property shall be further developed prior to
the approval of a Site Plan Review, building permit approval, partition or subdivision, as
applicable, for the proposed development.
5. Mutual Cooperation. City and APPLICANT shall endeavor to mutually cooperate with each
other in implementing the various matters contained herein.
6. Waiver of Right of Remonstrance. APPLICANT agrees to sign any and all waivers, petitions,
consents and all other documents necessary to obtain the public facilities and services described
herein as benefiting the Property, under any Improvement Act or proceeding of the State of
Oregon, Lane County, or the City and to waive all rights to remonstrate against these
Exhibit C Page 4 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 36 of 47
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Page 5 of 7

Planning Commission consideration.
Development Initiation Meeting (SDC 5.7.120): A Development Initiation Meeting (DIM) is required of all public
agency and private landowner-initiated annexation applications, unless waived by the Director.
Finding: In response to the applicant’s submittal, the City held a Development Initiation Meeting on April 20, 2023.

Exhibit D Page 1 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 40 of 47
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 rectangular 4.41-acre parcel that is located to the north
of Thurston Road at the northern end of 65th Street. The property is vacant and has frontage on the northern terminus
of the 65th Street right-of-way. Physical access to the site is provided via a private driveway off 66 th Street. The
subject parcel is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and it is contiguous to the City limits
along the western, sou thern and southeastern boundaries. The purpose for annexing the parcel is to facilitate
rezoning and future development of a SUB Water utility installation on the site. The proposed utility installation
would be for the collection, treatment and distribution of drinking water originating from nearby wellheads.
Current zoning for the property i s R -1 Residential District (R-1) with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District (UF-
10) applied. After annexation, the UF-10 overlay will be removed and the subject property will remain within the
R-1 Residential District.
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 McKenzie Fire and Rescue District). Springfield Utility Board (SUB) provides electrical and water
service to incorporated areas of the Thurston neighborhood. There is no rural water district providing service to this
unincorporated area of Springfield. SUB Water has existing water lines within the 65th Street and 66th Street rights-
of-way adjacent to the subject site. The proposed SUB Water utility installation would tie into the existing water
lines to deliver potable water to the City’s drinking water system. Upon annexation, the City of Springfield will be
responsible for all urban services, including sanitary sewer, water and electricity (through SUB), transportation 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 October 31, 2023, which is more than 14 days prior
to the public hearing date to 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 811-23-000197-TYP4.
Newspaper Notice. Notice of the November 20, 2023 public hearing was published in the print version of The
Chronicle on November 2 and 9, 2023. 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 November 20, 2023 public hearing was posted in three physical places in the City: at
the northern terminus of 65th Street where it abuts the subject property; at the site driveway onto 66th Street; 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 of the annexation proceedings prior to
the public hearing. Notification to DLCD regarding the proposed annexation was sent on September 19, 2023,
which is 62 days prior to the initial public hearing on the matter.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7.130.
Exhibit D Page 2 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 41 of 47
Public Testimony Received. Prior to and during the public notification period staff responded to several telephone
calls inquiring about the proposal, one telephone call requesting additional information, and one written comment was
received by email from Beth Tarbuck, 1023 65th Street, Springfield:
“Hello, I am the home owner of 1023 65th St, Springfield. I want confirmation that the proposed public utility
installation will NOT be a waste water treatment plant. The ‘Nature of the Application’ states the plant will process
drinking water. I am ASSUMING after some research that this will pull from ground/rain/lake/streams for treatment
and will NOT process sewage. 1. Is my assumption correct? 2. Is there any way under R-1 of the SDC 3.2.200 and
SDC 5.17.100, it could later be decided that this plant would be for waste water treatment? Thank you in advance
for these assurances.”
Staff Response: The application’s stated purpose for a “water treatment plant” generated concerns in the
neighborhood because several respondents interpreted this as a facility for the treatment of waste water. Staff assured
the callers and Ms. Tarbuck (via email) that all sanitary sewer effluent from the City is conveyed to the regional
treatment plant at River Avenue in Eugene. This will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future because of the
design of the City’s sanitary sewer conveyance system and the location, design and expansion potential of the existing
regional treatment plant. Staff explained that the proposed SUB Water facility would be for the collection and
treatment of drinking water from a network of wellheads in the immediate vicinity, and delivery of the water into the
City’s potable water system. Staff also advised respondents that the annexation was an initial step in the process and
additional land use actions would be required for the proposed water utility installation. The subsequent land use
actions would include provision for public notification and also include more details about the nature and
configuration of the proposed utility facility. Upon confirmation that the future SUB facility was for the drinking
water system, no further comments or concerns were received from the respondents.
No additional written comments were received during the continued public hearing that is being reconvened on
January 2, 2024.
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
contiguous with the City limits along the western, southern and southeastern boundary. The proposal meets the
requirements of SDC 5.7.140(A)(1) for contiguity to the current City limits. Therefore, this annexation application
meets the statutory definition of contiguity as found in ORS 222.111(1).
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion (A)(1) of 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
Exhibit D Page 3 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 42 of 47
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 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.
The Urbanizable Fringe (UF-10) overlay will be effectively removed upon annexation. Following annexation, the
applicant may initiate rezoning of the site in the future to accommodate planned water utility facilities on the
property.
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 McKenzie Fire and
Rescue District. The rural Fire District has a contractual service arrangement with Eugene-Springfield Fire
Department for provision of fire response to unincorporated areas of Thurston and east Springfield. After the public
hearing and Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the
McKenzie Fire and Rescue 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.
Approval Standard: 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.
Finding: There is no rural water service district in this area of east Springfield. Therefore, upon annexation, the
City by and through the Springfield Utility Board will provide water service to the annexation area. Further, SUB
has a stated intent to develop water system facilities on the property following annexation to Springfield.
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
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 future development of urban water system facilities on the
property. However, the site will require sanitary sewer service for planned water system facilities and other
improvements on the property. The closest connection point is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line that terminates
near the northern end of 65th Street (about 42 feet from the southern site boundary). A second potential connection
point is another 8-inch sanitary sewer line that terminates at the northern end of 65th Place (about 92 feet east of the
Exhibit D Page 4 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 43 of 47
eastern site boundary). Either location could be utilized for extension of sanitary sewer service to the property,
although the 65th Place connection would require a private easement across an intervening property. Because of the
close proximity of public sanitary sewer lines, this key service will be available upon annexation to the City - which
is consistent with Policy 34. There is no proposal to extend sewer or water to a non-annexed area. Further discussion
about the sanitary sewer system is found in Section C below.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion B of 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
Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 29 of t he 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.
Approval Standard: 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.
Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 32 of the Springfield 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 contiguous with the City limits line along the western, southern
and southeastern boundary. The proposal meets the contiguity requirements for the purpose of advancing this
annexation request. Urban utilities including water, sanitary sewer and electricity have been extended along the
adjacent 65th Street right-of-way and are available on the periphery of the annexation area to serve the subject
property. Therefore, the urban service delivery systems are already available and in place or can be logically
extended from points on the periphery 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 Thurston
and east 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 terminates at the southern boundary of the property where it abuts 65th
Street. SUB also operates a 16-inch water main that runs within 66th Street, which is located to the east of the subject
property but is along the frontage of the primary access driveway to the site.
Upon annexation, the property will be eligible to receive SUB Water service.
Electricity – SUB owns and operates an overhead electrical transmission line that runs along 66th Street, which is
located to the east of the subject property but is adjacent to the primary access driveway serving the site. Underground
electrical service is available along the southern boundary of the site where it abuts 65th Street. 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 Thurston and east 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 McKenzie Fire and Rescue District. Upon annexation, the property will be
Exhibit D Page 5 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 44 of 47
withdrawn from the rural fire district and 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. The subject site is close to Ruff Park, which is located just to
the northeast of the property off 66th Street, and Lively Park which is to the west of the property.
The subject property is identified as a potential connection location for a multi-use pathway running from 66th Street
through to Thurston Middle School and Lively Park. The pathway would achieve objectives established by the City
in partnership with the Safe Routes to School program and also improve connectivity for bicycles and pedestrians in
the area while keeping non-motorized traffic off Thurston Road.
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 Thurston and east Springfield. 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. The site abuts Thurston Middle School to the west and is in the vicinity of Ridgeview Elementary School
to the south. However, despite currently having R-1 Residential District zoning, it is expected that the annexation
territory may be rezoned in the future to a facilitate construction of a public utility installation on the site. With the
planned use as a water utility facility it is not expected that the property would generate a school-age population in the
future.
Sanitary Sewer – The annexation territory is proximate to existing sanitary sewer lines in 65th Street and 65th Place.
The existing 8-inch sanitary sewer lines have sufficient capacity to accommodate domestic sewage flows from the
future utility installation, such as employee restrooms, hand wash stations, sinks and floor drains. The applicant
has provided information in the project narrative that significant volumes of process water generated at the facility
also will be disposed through the sanitary sewer system. A capacity analysis of the sewer trunk line in Thurston
Road was conducted by the applicant to determine if sufficient capacity exists for disposal of treatment plant process
water. The applicant has expanded the scope of the capacity analysis to account for sewer system capacity from
the subject property to the pump station at West D Street where it transitions to the regional sewer system operated
by the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC). The Annexation Agreement prepared for
the property includes contingency measures to account for planned disposal of large volumes of process water into
the sanitary sewer system. The proposed disposal method could generate downstream impacts requiring upgrading
of facilities, flow metering, and other measures. A final annexation agreement incorporating said provisions has
been prepared for signature by the City and applicant (Attachment 2, Exhibit C).
Stormwater – The subject annexation territory is not currently served by a public stormwater management system
although there are piped facilities within 65th Street about 350 feet south of the southern edge of the property. The
closest public stormwater system is a 42-inch pipe within the Thurston Middle School site that is located just outside
the western boundary of the annexation area. There is currently nearly 100% pervious surface on the subject property
because it is a grassy field. With future utility system development on the property the applicant will be required to
Exhibit D Page 6 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 45 of 47
manage stormwater on the site to the greatest extent possible, including provision for treatment and infiltration of runoff.
Overflow to the nearby public stormwater system may be allowable depending on the final on-site stormwater system
design prepared by the applicant and as permitted under the City’s stormwater development regulations in effect on the
date of submittal. Review and approval of the proposed stormwater system will be done in conjunction with a future Site
Plan Review process for the water utility installation.
Streets – The southern boundary of the subject annexation area abuts the northern edge of 65th Street, which is
classified as an urban local street. At the property frontage and extending southward to the intersection with
Thurston Road, 65th Street is developed to urban standards with paving, curb and gutter, setback sidewalk, street
lighting and discontinuous street trees. . At the private driveway intersection with 66 th Street and extending
southward to the intersection with Thurston Road, 66 th Street transitions from a rural local road to an urban local
street. Beginning about one block sout h of the property driveway, curb, gutter and sidewalk is developed on the
west side of 66th Street while the east side lacks these facilities. Street lighting and a discontinuous line of street
trees are also located along 66th Street.
There are no current plans for 65th Street to be extended northward into the subject property or public street
improvements anticipated in conjunction with future development of a utility installation on the property. Primary
access to the site will remain via the existing driveway onto 66th Street. However, City block length standards
require the subject property to have a connection between 65 th and 66th Streets. This connection can be made
through a public right-of-way dedication or a multi-use pathway connection. The multi-use pathway would connect
the Thurston Middle School site on the west with 66 th Street on the east. The existing neighborhood to the south
along 65th Street through to Thurston Road does not currently have any secondary emergency access. The current
number of dwellings taking access from the single public street connection at 65th Street and Thurston Road exceeds
the current limit of not more than 30 dwellings without a secondary emergency access. For this reason, development
of this property with a high impact public utility installation will require a secondary emergency access for the
existing homes on 65th Street. This secondary emergency access may be combined another form of access such as
a multi-use pathway.
The applicant’s future obligations for provision of required public street improvements , multi-use pathway
connections and secondary emergency access are outlined in the Annexation Agreement for the property. Any
required improvements to the 65th Street frontage of the site or at the 66th Street access driveway will be reviewed
and conditioned at the time of site development or redevelopment.
Solid Waste Management – The City and Sanipac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for garbage service inside
the City limits. Upon annexation, solid waste disposal service would be provided by Sanipac.
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 available to the site. For the provision of sanitary sewer, system
capacity will be evaluated to confirm that sufficient capacity exists at the time of development, or can be provided
through system upgrades paid for by the applicant .
Conclusion: The proposal does not currently meet and comply with Criterion C of SDC 5.7.140. See Director’s
Recommendation on page following.
D. Where applicable, fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or
other mechanism approved by the City Council.
Exhibit D Page 7 of 8
Attachment 2 Page 46 of 47
Finding: The area proposed for annexation is a vacant parcel currently zoned for R-1 residential use. Because of
the inherent development potential of the property and uncertainties surrounding sizing and capacity of utilities
serving the future intended use, an Annexation Agreement was drafted for the property to clarify the City and
property owner’s responsibilities for improvements, triggering actions, and requirements for provision of urban
services to the site. The City and property owner have not yet executed the Agreement and it is attached hereto for
reference (Attachment 2, Exhibit C).
Conclusion: Upon execution of the Annexation Agreement, t he proposal will meet and comply with Criterion D
of 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 gave first reading of the Annexation Ordinance and opened a Public Hearing on
November 20, 2023 for the subject annexation request. The City Council moved to continue the public hearing to
the regular meeting on January 2, 2024. Based 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 at the January 2, 2024 meeting.
Zoning (SDC 5.7.150): The area requested for annexation is zoned R-1 Residential District and is designated Low
Density Residential in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Comprehensive 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 UF-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 November 20, 2023. The City Council continued the
public hearing to the January 2, 2024 meeting. Second reading and potential adoption of the annexation Ordinance is
scheduled for January 2, 2024. Therefore, the annexation and special district withdrawal will become effective 30 days
later on February 1, 2024, or upon acknowledgement of filing with the Secretary of State – whichever date is later.
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. In 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 Water and McKenzie Fire and Rescue
District (contracted fire response). The Cities of Eugene/Springfield will directly provide fire and emergency
services after annexation. Consistent with SDC 5.7.160, notice was provided for the public hearing on November
20, 2023. Withdrawal from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District concurrently with annexation of the territory to
the City of Springfield is in the best interest of the City. The withdrawal from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue
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: Conduct a second reading of the Ordinance and conclude the public
hearing at the regular meeting on January 2, 2024 and subsequently take action to approve the Ordinance
annexing the subject territory to the City of Springfield and Willamalane Park and Recreation District and
withdrawing the territory from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District .
