C. Development Objective
The development objective is to create a long linear housing project along the old transit corridor
with associated parking and amenities. Converting the old property into residential would require
an Annexation, a Subdivision, and a Site Plan Review. Access from the lot may require a
secondary entrance/exit at the north end off Pheasant Blvd. Other land use applications for
Springfield could include a Middle Housing Subdivision and Site Plan Review.
II. Written Response to Annexation Completeness Review
This section is presented in the same order as the City Pre-Submittal (Completeness Check).
Applicable sections of staff comments are in italics, followed by proposed findings in normal text.
PLANNING:
1. A legal description was not provided for the section of roadway along Game Farm Road (and
Pheasant). Please include a legal description for the area depicted on the attachment and provide
it with the formal submittal.
Response: See attachment 9 of submittal package.
2. An annexation agreement has been prepared by City Staff. The language is pending approval by
all associated parties.
Response: Understood and agree.
PUBLIC WORKS:
1. No comments for Annexation. During subdivision the streets (that section of Game Farm road and
the section of Pheasant) will need to be improved to full standards.
Response: Understood and those section of the roads are being annexed. See annexation legal and
cadastral maps.
III. Conclusion
Based on the information provided to the Completeness review and the findings contained in the
written statement, associated attachments, and plan set, the proposed site meets the Annexation
approval standards contained in the Springfield Development Code. Therefore, the applicant
requests that the City of Springfield approve the proposal. Both the applicant and the applicant’s
representative are available for questions. We look forward to working with staff to ensure this project
meets the goals and objectives of the applicant and the city.
