Review Process (Springfield Development Code (SDC) 5.7.115): The subject annexation request is being
reviewed under Type 4 procedures,without Planning Commission consideration.
Development Issues Meeting (SDC 5.7.120): A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) is required of all public
agency and private landowner-initiated annexation applications,unless waived by the Director.
Finding 1: A Development Issues Meeting for the subject annexation request was held on December 14,2023(Case
811-23-000260-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(13)(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
of their land."
Finding 2: The property owners who own all the land and real property, and full assessed value of real
property in the contiguous territory, have filed an application and petition requesting annexation to the City of
Springfield (Attachment 2,Exhibit B).
Finding 3: In addition to the petition,the submitted application includes the required documents listed under SDC
5.7.125(B). This includes a Verification of Property Owners signed by the Lane County Department of Assessment
and Taxation, the Ownership Worksheet, and a Waiver Form in accordance with ORS 222.173 (all within
Attachment 2,Exhibit B).
Conclusion: The application requirements in SDC 5.7.125 have been met.
Site Information: The subject property, 904 Filbert Lane,is improved with a single unit dwelling with site access
from Filbert Lane. The corner property is located at the southwest corner of the North Street and Filbert Lane
intersection. The subject site is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary(UGB)and is contiguous to the
Springfield city limits along its eastern,western, and northern boundary.
Zoning for the property is Residential(R-1)district with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay(UF-10)applied according
to the City's Zoning Map. Based on the applicants' submittal,the primary purpose of the annexation request is to
facilitate connection to urban services for future partition. A public sanitary sewer line stub is already available at
the site's north and east boundaries and would be extended to serve the existing residence. An Annexation
Agreement is not required for this application and is further detailed in the approval criteria.
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 ambulance services
(Eugene/Springfield Fire)'. The applicants currently receive water service and fire protection from the Springfield
Utility Board (SUB) and the Willakenzie-Springfield Rural Fire Protection District (RFPD). SUB operates the
existing electric and water utility infrastructure along the North Street and Filbert Lane frontages. Upon annexation,
the City of Springfield will be responsible for all urban services, including sewer, water(retained through SUB),
electricity(retained through SUB),and police/fire response(through Springfield Police and Eugene/Springfield Fire,
respectively)to the subject area. The approximately 14,200 square foot proposed annexation area consists only of
the addressed property.
'The subject property currently receives emergency services from Eugene/Springfield Fire through long-standing contractual
agreements. The standards of coverage can be found here:

Exhibit C
Page 4 of 7
Finding 5: Staff did not receive written comments from the public.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7.130.
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 6: The subject annexation territory is located within the City of Springfield's acknowledged urban growth
boundary(UGB). The property requested for annexation abuts the Springfield city limits along its eastern,western,
and northern boundaries. 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(I), 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 7: The annexation area is located within the acknowledged Springfield UGB and as more specifically
delineated by the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Territory within the delineated UGB ultimately will be
within the City of Springfield.
Finding 8: The Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan amends the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General
Plan (Metro Plan) through adoption of ordinances since 2011. Volume I of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive
Plan includes the following elements: Economic,Residential Land Use&Housing,Recreation,Transportation,and
Urbanization. In December 2016, Springfield adopted the Urbanization Element 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.
Finding 9: The territory requested for annexation is within an area that is zoned R-I Residential District and is
designated for Low Density Residential(R-1)use. 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 current zoning or plan designation for the property, although the
Urbanizable Fringe (UF-10)overlay will be effectively removed upon annexation.
Finding 10: The continued annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with Policies 27 and
29 of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, which will result in the elimination of
special districts within the urbanizable area. The Metro Plan and the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan
Urbanization Element recognize that as annexations to the City occur, the special district service areas within
the UGB will diminish incrementally and eventually will be dissolved.
Finding 11: The territory requested for annexation is currently within the service area of the Springfield Utility
Board (SUB) and receives fire protection service from the Willakenzie-Springfield RFPD via Eugene/Springfield
Fire. After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will
Page 4 of 7
Exhibit C
Page 5 of 7
remain in the combined fire and life safety departments of the Cities of Eugene& Springfield for fire protection and
emergency medical service directly to the annexation area.
Finding 12: 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. SUB will continue to be the service
provider upon annexation.
Finding 13: 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. If this annexation request is approved,the subject property will be provided with new urban
services such as public sanitary sewer.
Finding 14: 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. The property owners applied for annexation to the City (Attachment 2, Exhibit B) in order to receive
urban services for a future partition.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion B, 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
Finding 15: In accordance with Policy 29 of the 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.
Finding 16: 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.
Finding 17: 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 18: The territory requested for annexation is contiguous with the City Limits along its eastern,western,
and northern boundaries. Urban utilities including sanitary sewer,electricity,and water service,have been extended
within the North Street and Filbert Lane ROWS and are available to serve the subject property, adjacent properties,
and areas beyond the annexation territory. Therefore,the urban service delivery systems are already available and
in place or can be logically extended from points in the vicinity to serve the subject property and future development.
In addition to urban utilities, the following facilities and services are either available or can be extended to this
annexation area:
Water—As noted above, SUB is the exclusive water service provider for properties within the City limits. Upon
annexation,the applicants will continue using the existing water connections or extend public water lines necessary
to serve the subject property. SUB states that there is enough capacity for the existing water connection to serve the
current residential use (SUB Water Representative:Keoki Lapina, KeokiLksubutil.com).
Electricity — SUB provides electric service to the neighborhoods in Springfield within incorporated areas of
Springfield. SUB owns and maintains electrical system infrastructure in neighborhoods they serve. Existing electrical
system infrastructure within the Filbert Lane public ROW will continue to provide service to the subject property
Page 5 of 7
Exhibit C
Page 6 of 7
and continue to be maintained by SUB. SUB stated that they will have to upgrade the transformer located at 4096
North Street to meet capacity. SUB noted that they have been in contact with the property owner, and they
understand that the electric services will be placed underground to serve the property and that SUB requires a 7-foot
public utility easement along the entire eastern property line.
Police Services— Springfield Police Department currently provides service to areas of Springfield that are already
inside the City limits. The annexation territory is currently within the jurisdiction of the Lane County Sheriffs
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 via the Willakenzie-Springfield RFPD. Upon annexation,the Eugene/Springfield Fire Department
will provide fire and emergency services directly to the subject territory.
The Springfield Fire Marshal's Office stated that the subject site is within the 5-minute time of travel for Fire Station
14 located at 4765 Main Street in Springfield. Access and water supply are pre-existing and sufficient.
Emergency medical transport(ambulance) services are provided on a regional 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 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.
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's residents will be served by the
Springfield Public Library.
Schools — The Springfield School District serves this area of Springfield. The Springfield School District has
capacity to continue serving the annexation area and its residents in its current configuration.
Sanitary Sewer — An existing public sanitary sewer system is located in both Filbert Lane and North Street with
sufficient depth and capacity to support the existing dwelling and any additional dwelling units on this property.
Stormwater —An existing public storm sewer system is located in Filbert Lane with a catch basin at the corner of
North Street and Filbert Lane to serve as overflow for stormwater treatment systems on this property.
Streets—The Property has legal and physical access to Filbert Street. Filbert Lane and North Street are classified as
local roads. Filbert Lane is paved with curb and gutter, and sidewalk along the property frontage. North Street is
also paved but is without curb and gutter, and sidewalks along the property frontage. No additional right-of-way
dedication will be needed.
Solid Waste Management—The City and Sampac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for garbage service inside
the City limits. Upon annexation,solid waste disposal service would be provided by Sampac.
Page 6 of 7
Exhibit C
Page 7 of 7
Communication Facilities—Various providers,such as CenturyLink, 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 unincorporated areas of Springfield. The City will continue to administer land use controls
after annexation.
Finding 19: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as outlined in the adopted Metro Plan and
the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element are immediately available and have the capacity
to serve the site.
Conclusion: Based on the Findings above, the proposed annexation, if approved, will result in a boundary in
which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely
manner because of their availability and capacity levels meet the City's requirements. The proposal complies with
Criterion C, 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 20: An Annexation Agreement that outlines the applicants' financial responsibility for provision of public
streets and utilities necessary to serve the property is required when there are fiscal impacts associated with the
annexation. This application does not have any required public improvements associated with the annexation.
Therefore, an annexation agreement is not required for this application.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion D, SDC 5.7.140.
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 5.7.150.
Finding 21: The annexation area is within the delineated service territory of SUB (electric and water) and
Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District(contracted fire response). The Cities of Eugene/Springfield will directly
provide fire and emergency services after annexation, and the City of Springfield by and through the Springfield
Utility Board will provide water service after annexation. Consistent with SDC 5.7.160,notice was provided for the
public hearing on May 23,2024,and May 24,2024. 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.
CONCLUSION: The proposal complies with the annexation criteria of approval listed in SDC 5.7.140 and
Council is within its authority to approve annexation of the subject territory to the City of Springfield and
Willamalane Park and Recreation District and withdrawal of the subject territory from the Willakenzie Rural
Fire Protection District.
