The proposed annexation is intended to facilitate the future extension of public streets and utilities, phased subdivision and construction of residential dwellings on the site. ATTACHMENTS: 1: Location Maps 2: Ordinance with Exhibits Exhibit A: Legal Description and Map Exhibit B: Annexation Application Exhibit C: [Reserved for Annexation Agreement] Exhibit D: Staff Report and Recommendations 3: Staff PowerPoint Slides for Straub Annexation DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT: The applicant submitted a complete annexation application on March 27, 2024. Per 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 vacant and was formerly used as agricultural land. It is located inside the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), and it abuts the city limits line along the western, eastern, and southern boundaries. Concurrently with annexation of the subject property, a segment of public right-of-way for Thurston Road is to be annexed. The property will be concurrently rezoned to remove the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay (UF-10) upon annexation. As outlined in the attached staff report (Attachment 2, Exhibit D) and pending final negotiation of the Annexation Agreement, it is anticipated that the annexation area can be served with the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as required in the Springfield Comprehensive Plan – Urbanization Element. The attached staff report provides details about the requirements to extend utility and transportation connections to the annexation area to meet the criteria of approval for annexations as established in SDC 5.7.140. Recommendation: The applicant and city staff are still negotiating final language for the annexation agreement. Pending final negotiations, it is anticipated that the subject property will meet the requirements in the Springfield Development Code and applicable state statutes for annexation; Council is requested to conduct the first reading and public hearing of the ordinance annexing the property and public right-of-way to the City and Willamalane Park & Recreation District and withdrawing the same territory from the McKenzie Fire & Rescue District, and then continue the public hearing to June 17, 2024, to allow for consideration of the final annexation agreement.

The subject properties are located on the south side of Thurston Rd between Billings Rd and Weaver Rd. Property 1 is +/- 6.61 acres and maintains approximately 450 feet of frontage on Thurston Rd. Property 2 is +/- 24.16 acres, contiguous to the south of Property 1. For staff review, this written narrative delineates the proposal’s compliance with the criteria required for annexations contained in Springfield Development Code (SDC) 5.7.140 Annexations – Criteria. The SDC sections are indicated herein by bold and/or italic typeface; applicant responses follow in plain typeface. SDC 5.7.140 Annexations – Criteria. 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 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. Response: The subject properties are both located within the City of Springfield’s UGB and are contiguous to the city limits. The east boundary of Property 1 is contiguous with the city limit boundary. All Property 2 property lines are contiguous with the city limit boundary except the north property line. The proposal complies with SDC 5.7.140(A)(1). B) The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans or Plan Districts; Response: The proposed annexation of the subject properties into the City of Springfield’s R-1 (Low Density Residential) zone is consistent with the Metro Plan designation of Low Density Residential. The proposal complies with SDC 5.7.140(B). 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 Response: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Fire protection is provided by McKenzie Fire & Rescue; ambulance service is provided by Eugene/ Springfield Fire. LTD service is existing. Nearest schools are Thurston Elementary, Thurston Middle, and Thurston High. Electric, water, and wastewater services currently exist for the property. D) Where applicable, fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or other mechanism Response: Any fiscal impacts to the City of Springfield will be mitigated through this Annexation process. Exhibit B Page 13 of 18 Attachment 2 Page 17 of 31 Thurston Rd Utility Narrative WASTEWATER: Per Springfleld’s GIS map, there is an existing 15” wastewater trunk line that runs within the Thurston Road right of way to the eastern property line of T.L. 2600. This existing system can be extended to the eastern edge of T.L. 3200 and provide service stubs to the properties fronting Thurston Road. Preliminary engineering shows this wastewater line is deep enough to provide service to tax lots 3200 and 33603 which are proposed for annexation. There is also an existing wastewater line at the North end of 74th Street that can also be extended to serve a portion of tax lot 3603. In discussion with Springfleld Public Works staff, the existing wastewater systems discussed above have sufficient capacity to serve the development of the subject property, therefore this criterion is met. STORMWATER: There are multiple open drainage stormwater systems in the area of the property to be annexed that provide destination for treated stormwater. 75th Street Creek is an existing open ditch that fiows to the North through the property, eventually routing water through culverts under Thurston Road to South Cedar Creek on the North side of Thurston Road. Gray Creek is an existing open ditch on the South end of the property that fiows West to another existing ditch system West of Thurston Elementary School. This ditch then fiows North to a culvert under Thurston Road that routes to South Cedar Creek. Since both the open ditches are designated as either a WQLQ stream or a water of the State, water quality treatment will be incorporated into the onsite stormwater management systems to meet DEQ requirements prior to discharge offsite. In addition, detention will be incorporated into the design of the onsite stormwater management facilities to keep post-construction peak fiows below the existing condition. Existing stormwater systems available to the site can be utilized with appropriate onsite design, therefore this criterion is met. Exhibit B Page 14 of 18 Attachment 2 Page 18 of 31 WATER: Based on preliminary survey data from AKS Engineering and EGR & Associates, there are existing water lines at the Northwest corner of T.L. 2700 in the Thurston Road right of way. There is also an existing water line that is located at the North end of 74th Street in the right of way. The water lines can be extended from the existing locations to serve the entire development for domestic use and flre protection. The water system can be “looped” from Thurston Road to 74th Street to provide a reliable system. There is adequate water facilities to serve the development, therefore this criterion is met. FRANCHISE UTILITIES: SUB Electric – There are existing electric facilities at both the North and South end of the subject site. An overhead electric line is located on the North side of Thurston Road along the full frontage of tax lot 3200. There is also an underground electric system at the North end of 74th Street. There is adequate service adjacent to the property to serve future development. Comcast Cable – There are existing cable/internet facilities at both the North and South end of the subject site. An overhead line is located on the North side of Thurston Road along the full frontage of tax lot 3200. There is also an underground system at the North end of 74th Street. There is adequate service adjacent to the property to serve future development. Lumen – There are existing phone/internet facilities at both the North and South end of the subject site. An overhead line is located on the North side of Thurston Road along the full frontage of tax lot 3200. There is also an underground system at the North end of 74th Street. There is adequate service adjacent to the property to serve future development. Northwest Natural Gas – Based on NW Natural service maps, there is existing natural gas service to Thurston Elementary School in Thurston Road west of the property. There is also natural gas service in the existing subdivision to the South, but does not extend to the North end of 74th Street. Natural gas is available to the property, but would require offsite extension of facilities. Therefore, this criterion is met.

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 multiple applicant submittals, the City held a Development Initiation Meeting on May 31, 2022 (File 811-22-000103-PRE) and another Development Initiation Meeting on June 13, 2023 (File 811-23- 000103-PRE). Subsequently, a completeness check meeting for the annexation request was held on March 1, 2024 (File 811-24-000052-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 Thurston Elementary School 75th Street Territory Proposed for Annexation City Limits 74th Street Bob Artz Park City Limits Exhibit D Page 1 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 24 of 31 more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing to the annexation 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 an irregular-shaped property comprising two separate tax lots with an aggregate area of approximately 29.9 acres. The property is bounded on the north by a segment of Thurston Road; on the west by the Thurston Elementary School site; on the south by private properties off 74th Street, B Street and 75th Street; and on the east by Bob Artz Park. The property is vacant and has been used previously for agriculture. There is no developed access to the property although it is proximate to public rights -of-way at 74th Street and Thurston Road. The subject property is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and it is contiguous to the City limits along the southern, western and eastern boundaries. The purpose for annexing the property is to facilitate the extension of public streets and utilities for future land division and development of residential dwellings on the property. Concurrent with annexation of the subject property, staff is recommending annexation of a 60 -foot wide by approxima tely 1,175-foot long segment of Thurston Road. The purpose of this recommended annexation is to facilitate extension of urban utilities along this corridor to serve the subject property. Annexation of the public right-of-way is also a necessary step towa rd future jurisdictional transfer of the street from Lane County to the City. Current zoning for the property is R-1 Residential District 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 (City of Springfield and Lane County), 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 Thurston. SUB Water has an existing water line within 74th Street near the southwest corner of the annexation territory. The City has an existing sanitary sewer line stubbed out on Thurston Road near the northeast corner of the Thurston Elementary School site, and another sanitary sewer line stubbed out on 74 th Street north of B Street. Upon annexation, the City of Springfield will be responsible for all urban services for the property including water and electricity (through SUB), sanitary sewer, stormwater, 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 May 9, 2024, 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 811-24-000087-TYP4. Newspaper Notice. Notice of the June 3, 2024 public hearing was published in the print version of The Chronicle on May 23 and 30, 2024. 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 June 3, 2024 public hearing was posted in five places in the City: at the northwest corner of the annexation area near the driveway entrance for 7399 Thurston Road; along the northeast property frontage on Thurston Road near the driveway entrance for 7655 Thurston Road; at the north end of 74th Street where Exhibit D Page 2 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 25 of 31 it terminates north of B Street; on the Public Notices bulletin board in the lobby of City Hall; and on the City’s website. The public hearing notice was also digitally posted on the electronic display in the foyer of the Development & Public Works office in Springfield City Hall. Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7.130. Public Testimony Received. Staff responded to one telephone inquiry regarding the annexation request. However, no written comments were received during the public notification period that started with issuance of mailed notices on May 9, 2024 and extended through the period of May 30, 2024 when the City Council packet was finalized for publication. 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 portions of the southern, western, and eastern boundary. Increased contiguity will be achieved with concurrent annexation of the Thurston Road right -of-way between 7399 and 7655 Thurston Road. 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 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 Residential District which is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation. The adopted elements of the Springfield 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 can apply for extension of public streets and with City services and initiate further development or redevelopment of the property in accordance with provisions of the City’s Development Code. Exhibit D Page 3 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 26 of 31 Finding: The continued annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with Policy 29 of the Springfield 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 service district has a contractual service arrangement with Eugene-Springfield Fire Department for provision of fire response. 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 by and through the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department will provide fire and life safety services to the annexation area. Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 33 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan – Urbanization Element, SUB is the exclusive water service provider within the Springfield city limits. Finding: There is no rural water service to unincorporated areas of Thurston, including the subject property. Upon annexation, the City by and through the Springfield Utility Board will provide potable water service to the annexation area. Finding: In accordance with Policy 34 of the Springfield 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 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 allow for future extension of public streets and utilities from points on the periphery, and to facilitate phased land division and construction of residential dwellings on the property. There is no proposal to extend public sewer or water to a non-annexed area. Further discussion about the sanitary sewer and water 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 the Springfield 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 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. Exhibit D Page 4 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 27 of 31 Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 32 of the Springfield 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 southern, western, and eastern boundary. The proposal meets the contiguity requirements for the purpose of advancing this annexation request. Urban utilities including water and sanitary sewer are located in Thurston Road near the eastern boundary of Thurston Elementary School, and on 74th Street north of B Street. Finding: Recent annexation and approval of a tentative subdivision for property at 7399 Thurston Road will bring urban utilities closer to the subject property when this project is completed. The prior annexation included a segment of Thurston Road right-of-way and the developer of this project will be required to extend public utilities and street improvements to the northeast corner of the site. Finding: Based on the foregoing, 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 in a timely, orderly, and efficient manner. 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. As noted above, SUB is the exclusive water service provider for properties within the City limits. Upon annexation, the subject property will be eligible to receive SUB Water service. There is an existing 8-inch water line that is stubbed out on 74th Street north of B Street near the southwest corner of the annexation territory. A second 8-inch water line runs along Thurston Road near the northwest edge of the annexation territory. Because of the size of the annexation territory (nearly 30 acres) and the planned extension of public streets necessary to serve the property, the applicant will be responsible for providing water line looping within the development area consistent with SUB Water requirements, which SUB states is feasible to provide at the time of development. Electricity – SUB owns and operates underground and overhead electrical transmission lines along Main Street, Thurston Road, 74th Street and 75th Street. The subject property will need to provide for future extension of SUB electrical lines from points on the periphery and internal to the future development area. The applicant has already undertaken initial discussions with SUB staff regarding this issue. 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 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 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, Exhibit D Page 5 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 28 of 31 sports parks, special use parks, and natural area parks. The subject property abuts Bob Artz Park along the eastern boundary. Conceptual development plans prepared by the applicant contemplates potential pedestrian connections from the annexation territory to Bob Artz Park and the Thurston Elementary School. Additionally, the adopted Willamalane Comprehensive Plan identifies future playground and play field upgrades for Bob Artz Park (Projects S15 and M5). However, the Willamalane Comprehensive Plan does not identify future or potential park or open space areas within the subject annexation territory. 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. The School District has capacity to serve the annexation area in its current configuration because there is a public elementary school on the western boundary of the annexation territory. As future development proceeds, the annexation territory may generate a school-age population. State law requires Springfield School District to allow enrollment of students within its boundaries. Springfield School District policy provides for defined attendance areas to reduce building overcrowding and directs the superintendent to monitor changes to student populations at each school district building to make adjustments to attendance areas as needed. There is no indication from Springfield School District that public school services will not be immediately available at the time of development. At the time of future development or redevelopment, the School District will be referred any land use plans including proposals for land division and residential development that could generate a new student population on this site. Sanitary Sewer – The annexation territory is proximate to two sanitary sewer connections: a terminal manhole at the northern end of 74th Street north of B Street, and a terminal manhole in Thurston Road near the northeast corner of the Thurston Elementary School. Extension of both sanitary sewer lines will be required for full development of the subject property and this is detailed in the Annexation Agreement prepared for this annexation request. As stated previously, a prior annexation and approved subdivision plan for 7399 Thurston Road will advance the sanitary sewer line eastward along Thurston Road. Should this project be delayed or cancelled the applicant will be required to extend the sanitary sewer line along Thurston Road to the northeast corner of the site near the boundary with 7655 Thurston Road. The applicant is proposing to phase the residential development which allows for incremental extension of sanitary sewer lines with the capacity to serve the subject property. The Annexation Agreement prepared for the property will include provisions for extending the sanitary sewer lines. Stormwater – The subject annexation territory is not currently served by a public stormwater management system although there are piped and open channel facilities outside the southern and western boundary of the property. An existing watercourse runs generally east to west along the southern edge of the annexation territory. With future development or redevelopment on the property the applicant will be required to delineate existing wetlands and manage stormwater on the site per requirements of the Springfield Development Code, including provision for treatment and infiltration of runoff. Overflow to the public stormwater system on the periphery may be allowable depending on the final on-site stormwater system design and as permitted under the City’s stormwater development regulations in effect on the date of submittal. Review and approval of any proposed stormwater system(s) will be done in conjunction with future land use actions for development of the property. Streets – The northern boundary of the subject annexation area fronts onto Thurston Road, which is classified as an urban collector street. West of the subject property frontage (near the driveway entrance for Thurston Elementary School), Thurston Road is developed with curb, gutter, setback sidewalk (on the south side of the street only), paving, street lighting, discontinuous street trees, striped bicycle lanes and centerline striping for the two- lane road profile. In accordance with provisions of the Annexation Agreement, the developer must provide for future Thurston Road frontage improvements including, but not limited to: curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees, street lighting, bicycle lanes and piped stormwater facilities. The Annexation Agreement provides for trigger actions that Exhibit D Page 6 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 29 of 31 will necessitate the installation of Thurston Road improvements. In addition to Thurston Road frontage improvements t here will be a requirement for the extension of new public streets to and through the subject annexation territory. The extension of public streets is required to meet block length and connectivity standards outlined in the City’s Development Code. Extension of public streets also facilitates the future development or redevelopment of adjoining, non -participating acreage parcels that can be subdivided into multiple residential lots. To achieve urban residential density for the subject property and adjoining properties that could develop in the future, an interconnected network of public streets is nece ssary. Over time, the provision of local street intersections along Thurston Road will also reduce the number of individual residential driveway connections on this collector street. For this reason, the Annexation Agreement also discusses internal public street improvements and potential intersection improvements where these future streets connect to Thurston Road. 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 (UGB). Through an intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of Springfield, the City already has planning and building jurisdiction for all portions of Thurston that are inside the UGB, including the unincorporated areas. 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 Comprehensive Plan – Urbanization Element are available to the site, or there is sufficient capacity that will exist 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 vacant and not improved with public streets, utilities or any type of structures. The subject annexation area was previously used as agricultural land for livestock feed crops. All key public utilities, including sanitary and storm sewer, water, electricity and telecommunications are available on the nearby public street frontages or in the immediate vicinity of the annexation territory. Future land division and/or development of the property will trigger provisions of the Annexation Agreement including the property owner’s responsibilities for Thurston Road frontage improvements. City staff and the applicant met on May 22 to negotiate specific language for the annexation agreement regarding requirements for dedication of future stormwater facilities, access from 74th Street, and other terms and conditions. It is expected that a final version of the Annexation Agreement will be prepared in time for the June 17 City Council meeting. Because the annexation agreement is not yet finalized, it is recommended the City Council continue the public hearing until June 17 to allow for further negotiation of the agreement for inclusion in the adopted Ordinance. Conclusion: Pending final negotiations of the annexation agreement, it is expected that the 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 is scheduled to give first reading of the Annexation Ordinance and hold a Public Hearing on June 3, 2024 for the subject annexation request. It is recommended that the City Council continue the Exhibit D Page 7 of 8 Attachment 2 Page 30 of 31 public hearing to June 17, 2024 for consideration of the negotiated Annexation Agreement. 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 June 17, 2024 meeting following the continued public hearing. Zoning (SDC 5.7.150): The area requested for annexation is zoned and designated R-1 Residential District in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Springfield Comprehensive Plan. 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 Residential zoning. Effective Date and Notice of Approved Annexation (SDC 5.7.155): The subject annexation request is being presented to the City Council for consideration at a public hearing on June 3, 2024. Second reading and potential adoption of the annexation Ordinance is scheduled for June 17, 2024. Therefore, the annexation and special district withdrawal will become effective 30 days after the Ordinance is signed by the Mayor, 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 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 June 3, 2024. 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 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: Pending final negotiation of the Annexation Agreement, it is expected that this proposal will comply with the annexation criteria of approval listed in SDC 5.7.140. The Council should continue the public hearing to a future regular session to consider approving annexation of the subject territory to the City of Springfield and Willamalane Park and Recreation District and withdrawal of the subject territory from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District.
