This application is for Site Plan Review: approval for one new industrial building and associated
parking lot for Aramark. Aramark is a commercial laundry cleaning company that.will be
relocatinll its existinll facility and 45 emolovees from EUllene to Sorinllfield. This Aramark
facility will only be for the cleaning of mats. The facility will also serve as a distribution center;
which is the reason for the cross dock bUilding design. The doors on one side of the building
will be for dropping off dirty mats and the other side will be for distributing clean mats.
-
The subject site for this proposed development is zoned HI (Heavy Industrial) and platted in the
J.P. Hammer Industrial Park as Lots 5 and 6, The J.P. Hammer Industrial Park was platted and
recorded on April 17, 2002. This industrial subdivision created three public streets (Kathryn
Street, 40th Street, Industrial A venue). The proposed Aramark building will have frontage and
access on ~Oth Street. Adjacent to the Aramark facility will be the existing Mount.Hood
Beverage Company building. When the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park W!is created, all of the
necessary public utilities necessary to serve the proposed development were constructed arid are
available in the public right-of-way. There are codes, covenants, and restrictions (CC&R) that
apply to said subdivision. The Aramark facility will be in compliance with the CC&Rs.
The proposed building in this Site Plan Review application will be located across the existing
platted line separating Lots 5 and 6. To a!low this development, a deed restriction is proposed to
require that Lots 5 and 6 remain in common ownership.
This written statement addresses the Site Plail Review approval criteria found in Springfield
Development Code (SDC) 5.17-125.
SDC S.i7-12S Site Plan Review Aooroval Criteria'
A. The zoning is consistent' with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable
Refinement Plan 4iagram, Plan .District map, and Conceptual Development Plan.
The Metro Plan Land Use Diagram designates the property as appropriate for Heavy
Industrial. The Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan Diagram also designates the property for
Heavy Industrial uses. These plan designations are consistent with the current zoning of HI
(Heavy Industrial). Per SDC 3.2-410, in the HI zone cleaning plants and 'regional
distribution' are permitted uses. The Aramark facility will be a commercial laundry facility
for the cleaning of mats and distributing those mats throughout the state/region. Given that
the Aramark facility will be engaged in HI zone permitted uses; this site plan review
application will be consistent with the Metro Plan and Mid-Springfield.Refinement Plan
heavy industrial plan designation.
The proposed development' also meets the development standards for the HI zone per SDC
3.2-420. Both ofthe existing lots are each over I acre in size; thus meeting the minimum lot
size of 10,000 square feet. The existing Lot 6 has about 174 feet of frontage and Lot 5 has
about 131 feet of frontage; thus exceeding the minimum lot frontage of 75 feet. In the HI
zone there are no interior yard setbacl<s for buildings, but thereisa minimum 10 foot front

yard setback. The proposed building will be setback over'l3 0 feet from 40th Street; thus
exceeding the minimum front yard setback of 10 feet. Per the same section referenced
above, there is a requirement for landscaped setbacks of 5 feet around the parking'
lot/driveway. There will be proposed landscaped planters around all of the driveways and
parking spaces and the minimum width of the planters is 5 feet. Based on the above facts,
the developmerit standards of SDC 3.2-420 are met and the new Aramark facility will be
consistent with the HI zoning designation,
Furth~r,,'since the proposed building will be located across the common lot line between Lots
5 and 6 of the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park a deed restriction is proposed that will require
both lots remain in common ownership while the building exists on-site,
B. Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including but not limited to,
water and electricity; sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets
arid traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be
available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by
this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works Director or a utility
provider shall determine capacity issues.
The existing public improvements including the 8" wastewater line, 24"/30" storm drainage
system, and 40th Street were constructed during the platting ofJ.P. Hammer Industrial Park.
Other utilities (i.e. electric, water, phone, and gas) are also already constructed and stubbed
to the two existing lots ofthe industrial park, These utilities are located within the existing
10 foot PUE (public utility easement) located along the entire frontage of 40th Street adjacent
to the proposed development. There are no traffic lights or other safety devices adjacent to
the proposed subdivision. There , are existing street trees and street lights already installed in
the public right-of-way. All of the existing public improvements are delineated on the
attached drawings.' These public improvements were sized and constructed to accommodate
the type and intensity of development proposed with this site plan review application. All
pertinent details about the existing public improvements are shown on the attached utility,
grading and paying, and civil detail sheets,
The project engineer at Olson & Morris has also carefully sized the private utilities
, (wastewater lines, storm drain lines) that will be constructed on the subject site to serve the
proposed building. These private utilities have been sized to handle the capacity from the
proposed building. The private utilities will be connected to the existing publi'c lines. All
proposed utility lines and connections are delineated on the attached utility plan.
C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design
and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.
, The public improvements necessary to serve the proposed development were constructed as
part of the original J.P. Hammer Industrial Park. The applicant is proposing to construct
private improvements that connect to the existing public improvements. A utility and
grading/paving plan are included with this site plan review application. The private
improvements 'include the proposed ~rivate utilities/par~ing lot necessary to accommodate

the new Aramaik facility. All of the private design and construction standards of this code
are complied with in regards to the private improvements. Please refer to the attached utility
and grading and paving plans for applicable details.
D. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to:. facilitate vehicular
traffic, bicycle and pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within
the development area and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood
activity centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas; minimize driveways on '
arterial and collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable regulations
and comply with the ODOT access management standards for State highways.
The existing public street network, 40th Street and Industrial A venue, provide sufficient and
safe vehicular access to adjacent streets Kathryn and Olympic Streets and 420d Avenue, This
street connectivity also provides for connections between the proposed development and the
neighboring residential area, 40th Street provides existing sidewalks for safe pedestrian
access to the proposed development site. In addition, there are already two existing 36 foot
driveways that will provide safe vehicular and pedestrian access from the public right-of-way
to the Aramark building that will be constructed on the development site. No new ingress-
egress points are proposed; thus controlling access onto the adjacent street network and
minimizing the number of curb cuts onto the public street.
The proposed parking area on the subject property has been designed and constructed to
blend in nicely with the existing shared driveways to ensure vehicular and pedestrian
circulation remains safe and convenient. The parking lot design conforms to the dimensional
requirements ofSDC 4.6-115. The parking space dimensions are shown on the attached
plans. The parking lot will be paved, as required, and the stormwater ,run-off from the
parking lot will flow through one of three bio-swales. The bio-swales will be located within
, the landscaped setbacks along the north and east property lines and in the southeast comer of
the site. These bio-swales will pre-treat the stormwater runoff prior to discharging into the
existing public storm system in 40th Street. Where necessary, due t9 landscaped planter
widths wheel bumpers will be provided. The parking lot will also be clearly striped to
indicate pedestrian crossings and parking spaces. Regarding the minimum number of
parking spaces, a cleaning and dyeing plant use most closely falls under the primary
industrial (manufacture/assembly) category that requires I space for each 500 square feet of
gross floor area., The proposed building will be approximately 24,800 square feet. There
would be a requirement for 50 parking spaces and 68 spaces are bei,ng provided thus '
satisfying the minimum parking space requirement. .
The parking lot and ingress-egress points meet the applicable requirements of the SDCand
thus this crit~rion is satisfied.
E. Physical features, including, but not limited to: steep slopes with unstable soil or
geologic conditions; areas with susceptibility of flooding; significant clusters of trees
and shrubs; watercourses shown on the WQLW Map and their associated riparian
areas; wetlands; rock outcroppings; open spaces; and areas of historic and/or
archaeological significance, as may, be specified in Section 3.3-900 or ORS 97.740-760,
