TIlls survey of downtown bwldmgs was completed as part of an amendment to the FY
2000 FIve Year Eugene-Spnngfield Consolidated Plan that established the HOD blight
deslgnahon for downtown Spnngfield The survey found that the condlhon of some of

extenor trIm Repamng and mamtammg downtown buildrngs IS essential for the
recovery of any Instonc distnct.
13 The Sprrngfield StatIon SpecIfic Area Plan Report (July 200 I) reported that "retail rents
average $ 50 to $1 00 per square foot per month In Downtown Sprrngfield, w1uch tends
to work agarnst redevelopment of most Income producrng properl1es That IS, slgmficant
redevelopment and new development will not (generally speakmg) be economIcally
feasible wrthout Ingher rents, mcenllves, subSIdies, and/or catalyst developments such as
government buildmgs" Commercial lease rates today remaIn low compared to the
remamder of the Eugene-Sprrngfield market. TIlls has made It difficult for property
owners to mamtam eXlstmg bwldrngs and has worked agamst pnvately financed
rehabilitallon and redevelopment. TIlls has contributed to the contInumg detenorallon
and blight conditIOns m the downtown area.
2. Rehabilitation and redevelopment is necessary to protect the public health, safety or
welfare of the municipality;
Fmdings:
14 ORS 457010(5) Imks blight condillons such as the "lack of l"UI'~' utWzallon of areas,
resultIng In a stagnant and unproductive condillon of land" to public health, safety, and

health, safety and the welfare of the commumty.

urban renewal area. These documents also outlme projects and expendItures that use
redevelopment and rehabilitallon to remove bhght from the area. It IS necessary to
elimmate bhght m order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the CIty of
Sprrngfield
3. The urban renewal plan conforms to the comprehensive plan and economic
development plan, if any, of the municipality as a whole and provules an outline for
accomplishing the urban renewal projects the urban renewal plan proposes;
Fmdmgs:
