I PURPOSE OF THE AMDNEMENTS The SDC was adopted in May, 1986. In the 21 years since its adoption, the City has made piecemeal amendments to the SDC to implement both State and local planning mandates and local planning priorities. Over time, these SDC amendments have resulted in a document that has become cumbersome and difficult to understand for both staff and potential developers. In order to address these issues, the City contracted with Eaton Planning Services to perform an audit of the SDC in early 2005. That project was funded by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) with a Technical Assistance Grant. The results of the audit were reviewed by the Planning Commission and Council in Spring 2005. Staff was authorized to proceed with the SDC Edit and Reformat Project in order to make the SDC more contemporary and user-friendly. Staff established a technical advisory committee to assist with the project. The proposed reformatted SDC is generally based on a layout used for the "Model Development Code for Small Cities" and converts the current 44 articles into 6 chapters. The proposed reformatted SDC also places current text describing various standards into tables, combines Subdivision and Partition regulations into one Section and reduces redundant language, for example, "consistency with the Metro Plan" is placed in one location and deleted from each individual zoning district description. The proposed reformatted SDC does not include any "policy" changes, such as additions to use lists or new development standards. These issues will be addressed later this year or early next year, in work sessions with the Planning Commission and Council. I PROCEEDINGS AND DECISION I On June 5, 2007, the Planning Commission held a work session and' public hearing on this matter. There was no public testimony. The Planning Commission voted 5-0, with 2 absent to advise the Council to approve the proposed SDC amended and reformatted Ordinance. In July, due to the size of the document, staff provided the Council an opportunity to become familiar with the ' reformatted SDC in advance of this scheduled public hearing. Staff is requesting the adopting Ordinance include an emergency clause for this reason and in order to meet the time line for Lane County adoption, which is scheduled in October. Lane County' must adopt amendments to the SDC as specified in the Intergovernmental Agreement which gives the City zoning authority between the city limits and the urban growth boundary. On September 17, 2007, the City Council held a work session and public hearing on this matter. There was no public testimony. The City Council voted 6-0 to approve SDC amended and reformatted Ordinance ADDITIONAL INFORMATION . ~. .. .~ If you have questions concerning the amendment or the decision of the City Council in this matter, please contact Gary M. Karp, Senior Planner at 541.726.3775. E-mail address: qkaroilVci.sorinofield.or.us.

No. LRP 2007-00015 REQUEST Amendment and Reformat of the Springfield Development Code (SOC). BACKGROUND The SDC was adopted in May, 1986. In the nearly 21 years since its adoption, the City has made piecemeal amendments to the SDC to implement both state and local planning mandates , and local planning priorities. Over time, these SDC amendments haye resulted in a Cioc'ument that has become cumbersome and difficult to understand for both staff and potential developers. In order to address these issues, the City contracted with Eaton Planning Services to perform an audit of the SDC in early 2005. That project was funded by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) with a Technical Assistance Grant The results of the audit were reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council in Spring 2005. At that time, the' Planning Commission recommended, and the City Council endorsed, proceeding with this SDC Edit and Reformat Project in order to make the SDC more contemporary and user-friendly. Staff has updated th'e Planning Commission several times during the course of this project The amended and reformatted SDC is generally based on a layout used for the "Model Development Code for Small Cities" and converts the current 44 articles into 6 chapters, The proposed amended and reformatted SDC also places text describing various standards into tables, combines Subdivision and Partition regulations into one Section and reduces redundant language, for example, "consistency with the Metro Plan" is placed in one location and deleted from each individual zoning district description. The proposed amended and reformatted SDC does not include any "policy" changes, such as additions to use lists or new development standards. " SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE CRITERIA FOR SDC AMENDMENTS SDC 8.030 of the Springfield Development Code establishes criteria that must be met in order to approve this request "In reaching a decision on these actions, the Planning Commission and the City Council shall adopt findings which demonstrate conformance to the following: (1) The Metro Plan; (2) Applicable State statutes; and (3) Applicable . State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules." ' (1) The Metro Plan;" "The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan [Metro Plan] is the official long- range general plan (public policy document) of metropolitan Lane County and the cities of Eugene and Springfield. Its policies and land use designations apply only within the area under the jurisdiction of the Plan. The Plan sets forth general planning policies and land use allocations and serves as the basis for the coordinated development of programs concerning the use and conservation of physic'al resources, furtherance of assets, and development or redevelopment of the metropolitan area." P. 1-1 1-3 Staff ReSDonse and Findinq: This is an amendment and reformat of an existing specific regulation, th'e SOC. The SOC adopted in 1986 and the 60 plus amendments to the document since that time have complied with the Metro Plan policies. ,The intent is to'make the SOC more contemporary and user- friendly, with no "policy" changes, Therefore, the proposed amended and reformatted SOC has no effect on, nor is it'affected by Metro Plan policies, "(2) Applicable state statutes," CHILD CARE FACILITIES ORS 657 A.250 Staff ReSDonse and FindinQ: The proposed amended and reformatted SOC includes the change i,n terminology from "day care" to "child care"'based on a recent amendment of ORS 657 A.250, which regulates child care facilities in Oregon. This use is found in various use lists in proposed Chapter 3 and requires special siting standards as specified in proposed Section 4.7-125. Staff discussed this ,issue with the Planning Commission at a work session on January 17, 2007. The Planning . Commission agreed with staff that the change in terminology was not a "policy" issue. This is an amendment and reformat of an existing specific regulation, the SOC, The intent is to make the sot more contemporary and user-friendly, with no "policy" changes. However, the proposed amended and reformatted SOC is now consistent with the "child care" terminology contained in',ORS 657 A.250. POST ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PROCEDURES' ORS 197.610 "197.610 Local government notice of proposed amendment or new regulation; exceptions; report to cornmission.

The notice shall include the date set for the first evidentiary hearing. The director shall notify persons who have requested notice that the proposal is pending. (2) When a local government determines that the goals do not apply to a particular prqposed amendment or new regulation, notice under subsection (1) of this section is not required. In addition, a local governrnent may submit an amendment or new. regulation with less than 45 days' notice if the local government determines that'there are emergency circumstances, requiring expedited review. In both cases: (a) The amendment or new regulation shall be submitted after adoption as provided in ORS 197.615 (1) and (2); and (b) Notwithstanding the requirements of ORS 197.830 (2), t~e director ora'ny other 1-4 person may appeal the decision to the board under ORS 197.830 to 197.845...." ." ., Staff Resoonse and Findinq: The ORS dted above applies to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (OLCO) notification as required as part of the processing of this amended and reformatted SOC.

Goals 16-19 These goals do not apply because there are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or ' beach and dune resources within thEi City's jurisdiction. The SDC adopted in.1986 and the 60 plus amendments to the document since that time have complied with the State"wide Planning Goals. In this case, there are no State-wide Planning Goals or Administrative Rule which apply to this amended and refor[Tlatted SDC other. than compliance with Goal 1 , Citizen Involvement, pertaining to public notice, Notice of Planning Commission and City Council public hearings were printed in the Register Guard and placed on the City's web site on or before May 26, 2007. In addition, in April 2006, a questionnaire concerning this project was mailed to forty-three area architects, engineers, landscape architects, land surveyors and planners, Only two replied and those comments were deemed , to be "policy" issues that will be addressed separately from this proposed amended and reformatted SOC: Therefore, other than Goal 1 , no other Statecwide Planning Goals apply to the proposed amended and reformatted SOC.' CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION Staff has demonstrated criteria of approval listed in SDC 8,030: (1) Metro Pian policies; (2) State statutes; and (3) State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules either do rioi appiy to, or this proposed amended and reformatted SDC minimally impacts, the criteria.
