Ordinance No. P A 1253
Findings of Compliance with the Metro Plan and Statewide Goals and
Administrative Rules
Applicant:
City of Springfield, Public Works Department
Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Amendment Criteria
The proposed amendments are considered to be Type II Metro Plan amendments because
they are site specific amendments to Plan project lists and maps. Type II Metro Plan
amendments inside the city limits shall be approved by the Home City; Type II Metro
Plan amendments between the city limits and the Plan Boundary shall be approved by the
Home City and Lane County. At least three of the pump stations are outside the city
limits therefore Lane County must co-adopt these amendments.
Springfield and Lane County adopted identical Metro Plan amendment criteria into their
respective implementing ordinances and codes. Springfield Development Code (SDC)
Chapter 5, Section 5.14-I35(C) (1 & 2) and Lane Code 12.225(2) (a & b) require that the
amendment be consistent with relevant statewide planning goals and that the amendment
not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. These criteria are addressed as follows:
(a) The amendment must be consistent with the relevant statewide planning goals
adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission;
Goall - Citizen Involvement
To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens
to be involved in all phases of the planning process.
The two ci,ties and the county have acknowledged land use codes that are intended
to serve as the principal implementing ordinances for the Metro Plan. Chapter 5 of
the SDC, Metro Plan Amendments; Public Hearings, prescribe the manner in
which a Type II Metro Plan amendment must be noticed. Citizen involvement for
a Type II Metro Plan amendment not related to an urban growth boundary
amendnlent requires:' Notice to interested parties; notice to properties and
property owners within 300 feet of the proposal; published notice in a newspaper
of general circulation; and notice to the Department of Land Conservation and'
Development (OLCD) at least 45 days before the initial evidentiary hel!ring
(planning commission).
Notice of the joint planning commission hearing was mailed on April 18, 2008;
notice was published in the Register-Guard on April 24, 2008. ,Neighborhood
Associations, if any, were mailed 'notice on April 18, 2008. Notice of the first
evidentiary hearing was provided to DLCD on March 4, 2008. Lnk.fJ.unWs

Springfield's Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) met on March 4, 2008 to.
discuss citizen involvement opportunities. A public wQrkshop, website posting,
two. public hearings (Planning CQmmissiQn, City CQuncil) and mailed nQtice to.
neighborhoQd associatiQns, local engineering finns, developers and Qther
stakeholders were approved by the CCI.
Requirements under GQal I are met by adherence to. the citizen involvement
processes required by the Metro. Plan and implemented by the Springfield
Development Code, Chapter 5 and Lane Code Sections 12.025 and 12.240.
Goal 2 - Land Use Planning
To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all
decisions and actions related io use of land and to assure an adequate factual
base for such decisions and actions,
All land-use plans and implementation ordinances shall be adopted by the
governing body {lfter public hearing and shall be reviewed and, as needed,
revised on a periodic cycle to take into account changing public policies and
circumstances, in accord with a schedule set forth in the plan. Opportunities
shall be provided for review and comment by citizens and affected governmental
units during preparation, review and revision of plans and implementation'
ordinances.
Implementation Measures - are the means used to carry out the plan. These are
of two general types: (I) management implementation measures such as
ordinances, regulations or project plans, 'and (2) site or area specific
implementation measures such as permits and grants for construction,
construction of public facilities or provision of services,
The current version of the Metro Plan was last adopted in 2004 (Springfield
(Ordinance No. 6087; Eugene Ordinance No. 20319; and Lane County Ordinance
No.. 1197) after numerous public meetmgs, public workshops and joint hearings
of the Springfield, Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions and Elected
()flicials, '
Subsequent to theSe Metro Plan adQption. proceedings, Eugene,' Springfield and
Lane County considered amendments to Chapter III-G Public Facilities and
Services Element and Chapter V Glossary of the Metro Plan; and amendments to
the Public Facilities and SerVices Plan by adding new tables (4a; 4b; l6a) and a
new map (2a) identifying wastewater treatmerit facilities and conveyance systems
in Chapter II; amended Chapter IV wastewater system condition assessment; and
added a new Chapter VI Amendments. These amendments were also reviewed at
public meetings, public workshops and joint hearings of the Springfield, Eugene
and Lane County Planning Commissions and Elected Oflicials. These
amendments were appealed to LUBA and subsequently some (p'iQi.e~~tK'~e . d

projects associated with the wastewater treatment facility expansion. The elected
officials adopted these remanded amendments in 2006,
The Metro Plan is the "land use" or comprehensive plan required by this goal; the
Springfield Development Code and the Lane Code are the "implementation
measures" required by this goal. Comprehensive plans, as defined by ORS
197.015(5), must be coordinated with affected governmental units. Coordination
means that comments from affeyted governmental units are solicited and
considered.
Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands
To preserve and maintain agriCultural lands.
The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it
does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. None of
the proposed projects are intended to provide wastewater service outside the
UGB; the projects were recommended in the Wastewater Master Plan to "meet
the city of Springfield's projected population and employment growth through the
(2025) planning year."
Goal 4 - Forest Lands
To conServe forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect the
state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices
that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the
leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air, water,
and fish and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and
agriculture.
The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and, it
does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. None of
the proposed projects are intended to provide wastewater service outside the
UGB; the projects were recommerided in the Wastewater Master Plan to "meet
the city of Springfield's projected population and employment growth through the
(2025) planning year."
GoalS - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources
To protect natural resources and conserve scenic and historic areas and open
spaces.
The City has finished all work required under Goal 5 during the most recent
Periodic Review (completed in 2007). None of the proposed project additions are
located within any of the City's protected GoalS resource sites; none of the
proposed projects were designed or intended to allow developmenV'\>~~cur
within a protected resource site; the presence of urban services dodslimd@V!ilj@.SSe;ved
GoalS inventories or protection measures even if the new urban service becomes
available to any of these sites; these GoalS sites were identified and prclGBttli 8 2008

because they qualified under city or state laws, not because of a lack of available
services. The changes do not affect acknowledged GoalS inventories so this
proposal does not create an inconsistency with the goal. '
Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality
To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the
state.,
This goal is primarily concerned with compliance with federal and state
environmental quality statutes, and how this compliance is achieved as
development proceeds in relationship to air sheds, river basins and land resources.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, P.L. 92-500, as amended in 1977,
became knowri as the Clean Water Act (33 V.S.C. 1251 et seq.). The goal of this ,
Act was to eliminate the discharge of pollutants into the navigable waters. ORS
468B~03s requires the Oregon Envirorni1ental Quality Commission (EQC)to
implement the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The primary method of
implementation of this Act is through the issuance of a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit prior to the discharge of any
wastes into the waters of the state. (ORS 468B.OSO) Among the "pollutants"
regulated by the EQC are temperature (OAR 340-041-0028) and toxic substances
(OAR 340-041-0033).
Previously, the Plan was amended to ensure that the Metro Plan and the PFSP
accurately reflect regional wastewater system needs as imposed by Federal and
State regulation. Currently, the PFSP states that "... the Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant has sufficient design capacity to accommodate population
increases and serve all new development at buildout." This amendment takes the
next step in bringing the plan current by incorporating those local facilities in
Springfield which are required to adequately and efficiently convey sewage to the
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plan for treatment. The l""l'"Sed amendment is
based on the most current draft of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan now under
preparation for the City. That Plan is anticipated to be adopted by the City of
Springfield in mid-2008. Until that time, it is possible that the list of projects may
be aineiJ.ded and, accordingly that the current drafts of the proposed map and table
amendments will be further modified to conform to the provisions of the adopted
,Master Plan' ,
Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards
To protect people and property from natural hazards.
The Metro Plan and the City's development code are acknowledged to be in
compliance with all applicable statewide"land use goals, including Goal 7. The
proposed projects are.not located within hazard areas nor does their preSetl'fE,~ ave. d
any affect on existing policies or procedures adopted by the City~(!l1!ifW.ar.;eIVe

, and applicable in hazard areas, This Goal is unaffected by the presence or
absence of urban services to natural hazard areas,
Goal 8 - Recre'ational Needs "
To satisfY the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and,
where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities
including destination resorts" '
All of the' proposed projects are intended to accommodate future growth in
population and employment. What is meant, but not stated in this general concept
of "future growth in population and employment" is that it includes ancillary
activities as well, The Metro Plan anticipates up to 32% of residential designation
will be occupied'by these ancillary activities: "In the aggregate, non-residential
land uses consume approximately 32 percent of buildable residential land. These
non-residential uses include churches, day care centers, parks, streets, schools,
and neighborhood commercial." (Page III-A-4, Metro Plan) Determination of
pipe sizes and pump capacity includes the presence of these land uses and in any
case, the Willamalane Park and Recreation Master Plan includes future park sites
needed to keep pace with residential growth.
Goal 9 - Economic Development
To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic
activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens.
Th~ Metro Plan cites the provision of adequate public facilities and services as
necessary for economic development. Objective 10, at page II1-B-4 states:
Provide the necessary public facilities and services to allow economic
development: Policy B2s, at Page III-B-6, states: Pursue an aggressive
annexation program and servicing of designated industrial lands in order to have a
sufficient supply of "development ready" laild. Policy B26, at page II1-B-6,
states: In order to provide locational choice and to attract new campus industrial
firms to the metropolitan area, Eugene and Springfield shall place as a high
priority service extension, annexation, and proper zoning of all designated special
light industrial sites. All of these policies are served by the proposed amendments
to the Metro Plan and PFSP as these projects are intended to meet future demand
generated by population and employment growth. Additionally, it is the provision
of key urban services that typically determines suitability ofland to be converted
from rural to urban and to be annexed into the city limits: "Land within the UGB
may be converted from urbanizable to urban only through annexation to a city
when it is found that: a. A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can
be provided to the area in an orderly and efficient manner; b. There will be a '
logical area and time within which t90 deliver urban services and facilities.
Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent ~tpf\A1eJ~ -' d
. . Plan." (page II-C-4, Metro Plan) Each of the pump stations is l<kd~'iii ~elve
areas not yet annexed.or developed with planned urban uses. These plI!.IHbstl!%ons
will allow wastewater extension to these lands so that planned developifi'eht hla;008

occur. The Nugget Way andPeaceHealth pump stations in particular will
facilitate commercial and industrial development by making available this
mandatory urban service.
Goal 10 - Housing
To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state, Goal 10 Planning
Guideline 3 states that "[P} lans should provide for the appropriate type, location
and phasing of pubic facilities and services sufficient to support housing
development in areas presently developed orundergoing development or
redevelopment. "
OAR 660-008-0010 requires that "[S]ufficient buildable land shall be designated
on the comprehensive plan map to satisfy housing needs by type and densil):
range as determined in the housing needs projection." Goal I 0 defineS buildable
lands as ".. .lands in urban and urbanizable areas that are suitable, available and
necessary for residential use." 660-008-0005(13), in part, defines land that is
"suitable and available" as land "for which public facilities are planned or to
which public facilities can be made available.:'
Similar to, Goal 9, adequate public'facilities are necessary to accomplish the
objectives of this goal and applicable administrative rules (OAR Chapter 660,
Division 008). The purpose,ofthe proposed amendments is to provide the
capacity for future development (year 2025) of residential (population) and
commercial and industrial (emploYment) use consistent with the Comprehensive
plan. '
Goalll - Public Facilities and Services
To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public
facilities and services to serve as aframeworkfor urban and rural development.
OAR Chapter 660, Division 011, implements,goa111. OAR 660-011-0030(1)
requires that the public facility plan list the proposed projects and identify the
general location of the project on a map. The proposal will add nine projects to
Tables 4 and 16; delete four projects from these same tables in recognition of their
completion or supplanted need; and show the location of all proposed projects on
Map 2. These tables and map are adopted as part of the Metro Plan, but are
located in, and are a part of the PFSP.
OAR 660-011-0035(1) requires that the public facility plan include a rough cost'
estimate for sewer public facility projects identified in the facility plan. In
conformity with this requirement, Table 16 includes rough cost estimates for all
nine proposed projects. These costs are derived from the work performed during
the preparation of the Wastewater Master Plan.
OAR 660-011-0045 requires certain elements of the public fa~UeuPp3'~eiVed
adopted as part of the Cv~.p."hensive plan. These elements include the list of

public facility project titles (Table 4); the map or written description of the public
facility projects locaiions or service areas (Map 2); and policies or urban growth
managetp.ent agreements designating the provider of each public facility system,
No policy amendments are proposed in this action, The notice of proposed
amendment sent to OLeO, the notice of the hearing on these amendments, and
the applicable criteria are consistent with the provisions for a land use decision
and the post-acknowledgment procedures of ORS 197.610.
Goal 12 - Transportation
To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic:transportation
system.
The traIisportation system plan is not dependent upon, or influenced by the
wastewater system plan. Land development cannot occur in the absence of
infrastructure and that includes wastewater and transportation; but neither the
goals nor the OARs require a q>rollary analysis of each of these services when the
city is proposing one or both of these plans for post'acknowledgement
amendment. All of the proposed amendments are needed to upgrade (expand the
capacity of) existing facilities. In each case, the planned transportation facilities
are: I already in place; 2 under construction; 3 in design; or, 4 planned. The
changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal.
Goall3 - Energy Conservation'
To conserve energy.
3. Land use planning should, to the maximum extent possible, seek to recycle and
re-use vacant land and those uses which are not energy efficient.
All of the projects are upgrades or expand the capacity of existing systems. Such
a strategy maximizes the efficiency of the existing system (sunk cost) and
provides for infill and redevelopment opportunities that couldn't go forward
without these improvements. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP
consistency with this goal.
Goal 14 - Urbanization
To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to
accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth
boundaries, to ensure efficient use of I and, and to provide for livable
communities.
The amendments do not affect the existing UGB; they will allow capacity
expansion of existing facilities to enable projected planned population and
employment growth through the (2025) planning year. If these upgrades do not
occur, projected population and employment growth will need to be
accommodated beyond the existing UGB. The proposed amendments will
potentially delay when UGB adjustments must be taken and \Ya~~~e\ved

acreage necessary to accommodate projected growth. The changes do not affect
Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal.
Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway
To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical,
agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette
River as the Willamette River Greenway,
There are two projects in proximity to the WiIlamette River: Nugget Way and
Harbor Drive pump stations, The presence of these facilities, and the necessary
upgrades, will'allow planned development of these areas to occur, but not at the
exclusion of any other rules or standards that may be applicable to even permitted
development. For example, development within the Greenway Boundary is
permitted but is subject to SDC 3.3-300 regardless of the presence or absence of
infrastructure. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with
this goal.
Goal 16 Estuarine Resources, Goal 17 Coastal Shorelands, Goal 18 Beaches
and Dunes; and Goal 19 Ocean Resources
These goals do not apply to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area
(b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally
inconsistent
The project lists and maps contained in the PFSP were adopted as part of the Metro Plan
in 2004 and 2006; The project lists in the PFSP, in the form of tables, include
pump stations and any pipes 24 inches or larger; the maps show the general
location or service area of the projects. The proposed amendments include pump
, stations and pipes 24 inches or large, project descriptions, and changes to the map
to show the general location of each project. These same amendments are applied
to the same project lists (Tables 4 and 16) and maps (Map 2) in the PFSP that are
specifically adopted as part of the Metro Plan. This action constitutes the
quintessential test of consistency. The proposed changes, as presented, will not
create internal inconsistencies within the Metro Plan. '
In addition to the foregoing, the proposed amendments are consistent with the following
Metro Plan policies:
. "Extend the minimum level and full range of key urban facilities and services in an
orderly and efficient manner consistent with the growth manag~~~~cies in
Chapter 11- C, relevant policies in this chapter, and other Metro l1!.aeiWC1el;nC .

Conclusion
The findings shown above demonstrate adoption of this amendment to the Metro Plan
and the Public Facilities and Services Plan, does not create internal inconsistencies within
the Metro Plan or it's related functional and refinement plans. The amendment is shown
by the findings above to also be in full cO'mpliancewith Statewide Planning Goals and
Oregon Administrative Rules as required by Oregon law. .
