ISSUE
STATEMENT:
The City Council is requested to conclude a public hearing that was opened at the regular meeting
on November 20, 2023. The Council is then requested to consider adopting an ordinance to annex
approximately 0.86 acres of real property addressed as 1010 Kintzley Avenue and the abutting
segment of public right-of-way for Kintzley Avenue. The proposed annexation is intended to
facilitate connection of an existing residential dwelling to City sanitary sewer service and further
residential development of the property.

DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The applicant initiated the annexation request by submittal of a complete application on
September 7, 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 residential parcel containing an existing single-unit
dwelling and accessory buildings. 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 and northern boundaries. Staff is recommending concurrently
annexing the abutting public right-of-way for Kintzley Avenue because it already contains City
sanitary sewer lines and will provide primary access to the subject property. Concurrently with
annexation of the subject property and abutting public right-of-way, the site and affected segment
of Kintzley Avenue 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 annexation area is or 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 also confirms the
proposal meets the criteria of approval for annexations established in SDC 5.7.140.
Recommendation: Council is requested to conclude the public hearing and consider adopting the
ordinance annexing the property to the City and withdrawing the territory from the Willakenzie
Rural Fire Protection District.

Review Process (SDC 5.7.115): The subject annexation request is being reviewed under Type 4 procedures, without
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 13, 2023.
Subsequently, a completeness check meeting for the annexation request was held on August 11, 2023 (File 811-23-
000176-PRE).
Conclusion: The requirement in SDC 5.7.120 is met.
Annexation Initiation and Application Submittal (SDC 5.7.125): In accordance with SDC 5.7.125(B)(2)(b)(i)
and ORS 222.170(1), an annexation application may be initiated by “more than half the owners of land in the
territory, who also own more than half the land in the contiguous territory and of real property therein representing
more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing to the annexation City Limits S 33rd Street Kintzley Avenue S 34th Place Wildflower Dr
Mountain Creek Ln
Territory
Proposed for
Annexation
Exhibit D Page 1 of 7

of their land.”
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 0.86-acre parcel that is located at the
southwest corner of the Kintzley Avenue and Jasper Road intersection. The property contains an existing single-
unit dwelling and accessory buildings in the southern half of the parcel. The property has frontage on Jasper Road
along the northern boundary and Kintzley Avenue along the eastern boundary. The subject parcel is inside the
Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and it is contiguous to the City limits along the western and
northern boundar ies. Concurrent with annexation of the subject propert y, an approximately 45-foot wide by
213-foot long segment of Kintzley A venue public right -of-way abutting the site is proposed for annexation.
The purpose for annexing the parcel is to allow connection of the existing single -unit dwelling to City sanitary
sewer service and to facilitate further residential development on the site. Because the public sewer line was
recently installed in Kintzley Avenue it is timely and appropriate to concurrently annex the adjoining segment
of public right -of-way. At the time of public sewer line installation in Kintzley Avenue a service lat eral was
extended to the subject property which simplifies the sewer connection process.
Current zoning for the property and the Kintzley Avenue public right-of-way 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 and public right-of-way 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 Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District). Springfield Utility Board (SUB) provides electrical
and water service to incorporated areas of south Springfield. There is no rural water district providing service to this
unincorporated area of Springfield. SUB Water has an existing 6-inch water service along the eastern edge of the
annexation area where the public line extends southward from Jasper Road along Kintzley Avenue. 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 811-23-000212-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 four physical places in the City: at
the northwestern property corner along Jasper Road; at the northeastern property corner at the intersection of Kintzley
Avenue and Jasper Road; at the southeastern property corner along Kintzley Avenue; 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
Exhibit D Page 2 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 33 of 38
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.
Public Testimony Received. Staff responded to one telephone call from an adjacent property owner inquiring about
the proposal. After explaining the annexation process to the respondent they expressed no further concerns about the
proposal. No written comments were received prior to or 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 and northern boundary. The right-of-way proposed for concurrent
annexation is contiguous with the City limits along the northern 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
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.
There are no proposed changes to the zoning or plan designation for the property, although the Urbanizable Fringe
(UF-10) overlay will be effectively removed upon annexation.
Exhibit D Page 3 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 34 of 38
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 Willakenzie Rural Fire
Protection District. The Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District has a contractual service arrangement with
Eugene-Springfield Fire Department for provision of fire response to unincorporated areas of south Springfield.
After the public hearing and Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn
from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection 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 south Springfield. Therefore, upon annexation, the
City by and through the Springfield Utility Board will provide water service to the annexation area.
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 connection of the existing dwelling to City sanitary sewer and to
allow for further residential development on the property. Because there is an existing sanitary sewer line within
Kintzley Avenue and a lateral has been extended to the subject property, this key service will be immediately
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.
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 sch ools on a
districtwide basis.
Exhibit D Page 4 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 35 of 38
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 and northern
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 Kintzley Avenue
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 south
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 runs along the east side of Kintzley Avenue across from the subject property.
According to SUB Water, sufficient capacity exists for extension of water service to the existing dwelling and future
dwellings on the remainder of the site at R-1 residential densities. 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 Jasper Road and parallel
with the northern boundary of the site. An overhead electrical service for a pole with a yard light is provided to the
subject property from the Jasper Road frontage. A second overhead electrical transmission line runs southward along
the east side of Kintzley Avenue, which is across the street from the subject site. The existing dwelling has an overhead
service provided from the Kintzley Avenue frontage. 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 south 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 Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. Upon annexation, the property
will be 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 to Springfield residents 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. Notably, the Middle Fork Pathway trailhead is located directly
west of the subject property at the “elbow” of Jasper Road and 32nd Street.
According to the Willamalane District Map, the subject property is already annexed to the Willamalane Park &
Recreation District.
Library Services – Upon annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be served by the Springfield
Public Library.
Exhibit D Page 5 of 7
Attachment 2 Page 36 of 38
Schools – The Springfield School District serves this area of south Springfield. The subject property
contains a single -unit dwelling and has t he potential for additional future residential development.
For this reason , it is expected that the annexation territory will continue to sustain permanent residents and could
generate a school-age population in the future. 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 is in close proximity
to Douglas Gardens Elementary School to the northeast and Agnes Stewart Middle School to the west.
Sanitary Sewer – The annexation territory contains a segment of public sanitary sewer line within the Kintzley
Avenue right-of-way. The public sanitary sewer line was installed to serve the adjacent Mountainvale subdivision
and existing residences on Kintzley Avenue as annexation occurs. In anticipation of future connection to City
sanitary sewer, service laterals were extended to some of the existing properties along Kintzley Avenue, including
the subject site. Upon annexation, City sanitary sewer service is available at the property frontage. The applicant
has executed an Annexation Agreement with the City to facilitate connection of the existing dwelling to City
sanitary sewer (Attachment 2, Exhibit C).
Stormwater – The subject annexation territory is not currently served by a public stormwater management system
although there are facilities within Jasper Road along the northern property boundary. The Jasper Road frontage is
the closest location for piped stormwater facilities available to serve the subject site. The existing single-unit dwelling,
driveway and accessory buildings can continue to drain to the interior of the subject property and infiltrate. Future
residential development on the property will be required to manage stormwater on individual parcels and limit runoff as
required under the City’s stormwater development regulations.
Streets – The eastern boundary of the subject annexation area abuts Kintzley Avenue, which is classified as a Lane
County Local Access Road. Kintzley Avenue is not developed to urban standards and it has an asphalt mat driving
surface along the site frontage. South of the subject property, Kintzley Avenue has been partially developed with
curb, gutter and sidewalks along the western edge where it abuts the Mountainvale subdivision. With future
development or redevelopment of the subject property, the Kintzley Avenue frontage would need to be improved
to City standards with curb, gutter, sidewalk and street trees. Additionally, the Kintzley Avenue rig ht-of-way is 20
feet from centerline along the property frontage but 25 feet from centerline for other properties within the
Mountainvale subdivision to the south and along the eastern side of the right-of-way. Future dedication of a 5-foot
width of right-of-way will be required concurrent with development or redevelopment of the subject property. The
transportation improvements required for the property at the time of redevelopment are outlined in the attached
Annexation Agreement.
Along the northern boundary of the site, Jasper Road is developed to urban standards with curb, gutter, sidewalk,
striped vehicle and bicycle lanes, street lighting and discontinuous street trees. Any required improvements to the
Jasper Road frontage of the site 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 immediately available to the site, or can be provided at the time
of development.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion C of SDC 5.7.140.

D. Where applicable, fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or
other mechanism approved by the City Council.
Finding: The area proposed for annexation is a residential parcel containing an existing single -unit dwelling. The
property is large enough to support additional residential development and this is one of the stated reasons for the
applicant to request annexation. Because of the further development and redevelopment potential of the property,
an Annexation Agreement was prepared 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 executed the Agreement and it has been recorded against the property at Lane County Deeds & Records
(Attachment 2, Exhibit C).
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies 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 Willakenzie Rural Fire
Protection 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 Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District concurrently with annexation
of the territory to the City of Springfield is in the best interest of the City. The withdrawal from the Willakenzie
Rural Fire Protection 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 withdrawing the territory from the Willakenzie
Rural Fire Protection District .
