AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN
GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM BY REDESIGNATING 56 ACRES FROM CAMPUS
INDUSTRIAL TO: COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL; MEDIUM DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL/NODAL DEVELOPMENT AREA; AND COMMERCIAL/NODAL
DEVELOPMENT AREA ON LAND LOCATED NORTH OF MARCOLA ROAD AND
WEST OF 28TH/31sT STREETS.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SPRINGFIELD ZONING MAP BY REZONING
56 ACRES FROM CAMPUS INDUSTRIAL TO: COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL;
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL; AND MIXED USE COMMERCIAL ON LAND
LOCATED NORTH OF MARCO LA ROAD AND WEST OF 28TH/31sT STREETS.
The applicant's intent is to obtain the proper Metro Plan designations and zoning on
100.3 acres to allow the construction of a phased mixed-use residential and
commercial development within a nodal development area (80.7 acres) called the
Villages at Marcola Meadows. The applicant must also obtain Master Plan approval
and then, individual Site Plan and Subdivision approval.

Attachment 9: Spickerman's Concerns About a "De Novo" Public Hearing
The subject site was formerly known as the "Pierce" property. The current Metro
Plan designations and zoning are: Campus Industrial (56 acres), Medium Density
Residential (35.7 acres) and Community Commercial (8.6 acres). The applicant
requests approval of a: Type II Metro Plan diagram amendment to change the 56
acre Campus Industrial designation to: Community Commercial (11 acres); Medium
Density Residential/Nodal Development Area (19 acres); and Commercial/Nodal
Development Area (26 acres); and amendment of the Springfield Zoning Map from
Campus Industrial to Community Commercial, Mixed Use Commercial and Medium
Density Residential (same acreages). Both applications are interrelated; they both
must be approved because of the required consistency between the Metro Plan
designation and zoning. All issues related to the effects of the proposed develop-
ment on neighboring properties raised during the Planning Commission public
hearing are issues that will be addressed during the Master Plan review process, a
condition of approval of these applications, which will be reviewed by the Planning
. Commission at a future public hearing. The Master Plan will contain proposed
mitigations to positively respond to the issues raised by the neighbors. In making
their decision on these applications, the City Council should consider if: the City will
be better served by converting Campus Industrial land to Commercial and Multi-
family Residential; Springfield's citizens, especially the neighbors, can be assured
that a "quality" development will be constructed over time; and whether the removal
of the Campus Industrial designation can be absorbed or should be offset by a
commensurate addition of Campus Industrial designation elsewhere in the City as
an element of the upcoming commercial/industrial land supply demand analysis.
