PROPOSAL
Amend Chapters 3 and 5 of the Springfield Development Code to repeal existing
provisions for annexation and repli,lce with new annexation provisions in conformance with
Oregon Revised Statute 222.
BACKGROUND .
The 2007 Oregon Legislature abolished the Lane County Local Government Boundary
Commission and transferred all urban annexation responsibilities to the cities within Lane
County and all district annexation responsibilities to the Lane County Board of
Commissioners. The law requires cities and the county to assume these responsibilities on
January 2, 2008. These proposed amendments will vest the Springfield City Council 'with
the authority to initiate, accept, review and approve all annexations to the City of
Springfield and all extraterritorial extension of water or sewer service to areas outside the
city limits of Springfield. These amendments describe the method of annexation; the
submittal requirements; the criteria of approval; the requirement for contracts, consents and
agreements; the requirement of a fee; and the notice obligations for public hearings and '
notice of approval. All of the provisions of these amendments are either required by ORS
222, enabled by ORS 222, or a local option in the furtherance of compliance with ORS 222
and the Eugene-Springfield MetropolitanArea General Plan.
SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE CRITERIA OF APPROVAL FOR SDC
AMENDMENTS (5.6-115): '
Amendments to the Springfield Development Code are based on conformance with the following
criteria:
(1) The Metro Plan;
(2) Applicable State statutes; and
(3) Applicable Statewide Pla!illing Goals and Administrative Rules.
The proposed amendments are intended to implement the provisions of Senate Bil1417 enacted in
the 2007 Oregon Legislative Session. Senate Bill 417 abolishes the Lane County Local
Government Boundary Commission, extinguishes the assessment to cities that funds Boundary
Commission operations, terminates t1ie Boundary Commission staff, and vests annexation authority
with the cities within Lane County and with Lane County. Cities are now i!\b~~t to compliance
with the provisions ofORS 222. ORS 222 establishes the method of annet2l8leiQm~eiVAd
properties for annexation; circumstances for requiring annexation for extra-territorial ~~enslOn ot'

findings of consistency with Section 5.7-140 Criteria, subsection C.: The DroDosed annexation is
consistent with aDDlicable Dolicies in the Metro Plan and anv aDDlicable refinement Dlans or Plan
Districts.
Criteria (2) Conformance with Applicable State Statutes
ORS 222 establishes the jurisdiction of cities to regulate and approve annexation of territory and
the extraterritorial extension of services, Semite Bill 417 abolished the Lane County Local
Government Boundary Commission and transferred the annexation authority to all cities in Lane
County and toLane County. These amendments comply with the requirements of this legislative
act and the Oregon Revised Statute
,
Criteria (3) Conformance with applicable State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative
Rules
The City's comprehensive plan and development code are acknowledged by the State of Oregon to
be in compliance with all applicable statewide planning goals and administrative rules.
This proposed amendment is consistent with the plan policies cited in previous pages and with
ORS, and so, by extension, conforms to applicable statewide planning goals and administrative
rules. However, the following fmdings are included in this record.
Goal]: Citizen Involvement
The proposed amendments are the subject of legislative public hearings advertised in the Eugene
Register Guard on November 12, 2007. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on
November 20,2007. The City Council held a publicized work session on November 5, 2007 and a
work session and public hearing on December 3, 2007.
Goal2: Land Use Planning
This goal states: "All land-use plans and implementation ordinances shall be adopted by the
goveming body after 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
J '
set fort in the plan. '
"Implementation Measures - are the means used to cany 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." "
These amendments establish the method for annexation to the City of Springfield; the requirement
of the application for annexation; notice of the proposed annexation and public hearing; the criteria
of approval for annexation; the process to provide extraterritorial extensio~f ~ater Rd sanitan,' d

sewer; and notice of the approved armexation. These changes are consistent with existing policies
in the Metro Plan.
Goal3: Agricultural Lands
(
This goal does not apply within adopted,.acknowledgedurban growth boundaries. The City of
Springfield does not have any agricultural zoning districts. These amendments do not apply
outside the urban growth boundary and, because of limitations on commercial and industrial
'development without full urban services, generally do not apply outside the city limits.
Goal4: Forest Lands
This goal does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. The City of
Springfield does not have any forest zoning districts. These amendments do not apply outside the
urban growth boundary and, because of limitations on commercial and industrial development
without full urban services, generally do not apply outside the city limits. '
c
Goal5: Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas; and Natural Resources
These amendments do not repeal, replace or, void existing Metro Plan policy or Development Code
regulations willi respect to any identified mitural resources. No changes to supporting ordinances
or policy documents adopted to comply with Goal 5 are affected by these amendments.
Goal7: Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards
All sites within Springfield subject to these hazards (floodplain, erosion, landslides, earthquakes,
weak foundation soils) are inventoried through a'variety of sources. These amendments do not
remove or exempt compliance with all other Code standards that may apply to the site upon
annexation.
Goal8: Recreational Needs
Willamalane Park and Recreation district provides for the recreational needs of Springfield through
, its own park planning. Park needs and facilities are based on existing and projected populations.
These amendments have no influence on population projections because they do not change
permitted density within residential plan designations, These ainendments do not influence the'
ability of the park district to ,acquire land for parks. These amendments will allow the orderly
provision of services to park land as needed.
Goal9: &:onomic Development
This goal is intended to preserve and enhance economic development activities, including
preservation of sites for industrial and commercial use. These amendments will enable service
extension to be provided to these sites 'consistent with economic development policies contained in
the Metro Plan. '

NOV 2 u 2003
Planner: BJ
Consistent with Metro Plan policiesAA and A.S, these ainendments will facilitate provision of
housing by allowing unserviced land to annex to the City and receive necessary services to enable
urban density development
Goal II: Public Facilities and Services
This goal states: "To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public
facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." Urban facilities
and services include the appropriate types and levels of police protection; sanitary facilities; storm
drainage facilities; planning, zoning and subdivision control; health services; recreation facilities
and services; energy and communication services; and community governmental services: These
amendments will enable the timely, orderly and efficient provision ofthese services to land ready
for conversion from rural to urban use,
Goal 12: Transportation
, This goal states: "To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation
system." These amendments have no direct relationship to this goal; however, urbanization
requires the comprehensive assessment of all services in a coordinated fashion"therefore'
development cannot proceed in the absence of any service, including water, sewer and streets,
Goal 13: Energy Conservation
This goal states:' "To conserve energy," The logical and orderly provision of urban services is
consistent with the intent of this goal.
,Goal14: Urbanization
This goal states: "To provide for an orderly and effiCient transition from rural to urban use,"
These amendments vest the City Council with the authority to approve annexation and
extraterritorial extension of services consistent with the Growth Management Policies ofthe Metro
Plan cited above
Goa115: Willamette River Greenway
This goal states: "To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural,'scenic, historical,
flgricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the
Willamette River Greenway." These amendments do not exempt the applicant's obligation to
comply with the City's existing reql!irements for development approval within the Willamette
River Greenway. The Greenway provisions allow development of permitted uses in the underlying
zone, provided that ali other Greenway requirements are satisfied. The City's adopted,
acknowledged Greenway ordinance will not be changed by the~e amendments.
GoiI116: Estuarine Resources; Goal 17: Coastal Shorelands; Goal 18: Beaches and Dunes; and
Goa119: Ocean Resources
These goals do not apply within the boundary ofthe adopted, acknowledged Eugene-Springfield

Chapter 66.0 of Oregon Administrativ~ Rules establishes interpretation of a number of statewide
. planning goals. These,rules are generally designed to provide clarity or specific instruction
regarding the implementation of the goals. Annexation starts the conversion of rural land to urban
density dev~lopment. That development cannot proceed without water and sewer service, both of '
which cannot be ma~e available without .compliance with the proposed annexation amendments.
OAR 66.0-.0 11-.0.0.0.0 Purpose states:
"Tlie purpose of the {publicfacility plan] is to help assure that urban development in such
urban growth boundaries is guided and supported by types and levels of urban facilities and
services appropriate for the needs and requirements of the urban areas to be serviced, and
that those facilities and services are provided in'a timely, orderly and efficient
arrangement" See Section 5.7-14.0.
, OAR 66.0-.011-.0.06.0 and 66.0-.011-.0.065, Sewer Service to Rural Lands, Water.service to Rural
, Lands, respectively, are faithfully implemented by policies G.25-G.32 of the Metro Plan (pages ill-
G-12 and ill-G-13); a finding of consistency, with these policies has been established for these
amendments at page'3 of this fmdings document. ' '
OAR 66.0-.0 18-.0.02 requires the filing of proposed plan amendments or land use regulations with
the Department at least 45 days prior to the initial public hearing and to include the date ofthe'fmal
'hearing. The notice was sent to the Department on September 26, 2.0.07 and included the date of
November 2.0, 2.0.07 for the initial evidentiary hearing and the date of December 3, 2.0.07 as the date
