Site Plan Review Major Modification~Written Statement
June 22. 2007
Page :~
II. Land Use Reauest
. .
The applicant, McKenzie- Willamette Medical Center (MWMC), propose~ to make
improvements to their Mohawk Boulevard carripus in Springfield. With the proposed .site
improvements and planned interior remodeling the applicant intends to improve the function
and appearance of their existing facilities in Springfield,
. .
The applicant requests approval of this Site Pan Review - Major Modification application in
regard to modifications to the Final Site Plan Equivalent Map which will be submitted
concurrently with this application. Specifically, the modifications are as follows:
Construction of a new main building entrance and ~overed c1rc:l1]-()ff area. To provide better.
access to the hospital for patients and visitors the applicant is proposing to create a new
entrance at the east side of the hospital with a covered :walk and drop-off area. The new
ent~ance will replace existing modular meeting rooms located between the two ease-west
oriented wings of the hospital. The existing drop-off area, located to the east of the proposed
entry, will be rebuilt to provid.e separation between the vehicles in the drop-off area and those
using the main internal access drive that connects G Street to I Street, The drop-off area will
have a canopy to protect users from inclement weather and will be connected to the building
entrance by a covered walkway. The applicant proposes to close a driveway between the
access drive and the doctor'.s parking area. T)1e closing of a driveway connection between
the access drive and the doctor's parking area will eliminate a point of pedestrian-vehicle
conflict on the pedestrian route between G Street and the new building entrance, To
eliminate backing motions inte;> the access drive, nine existing perpendicular parking spaces
along the east side of the drive will be replaced by two short term parallel parking spaces.
The last modification proposed for this area is the 'creation offour new accessible parking
spaces and the construction of an accessible route to the new building entrance.
"Relocation of G Street drivewav and addition of access controls for doctor's Darkinl! lot To
help de-emphasize the current main entrance, after the opening of the new entrance, to
simplify driveway alignm~nts along G Street, and to provide for improved access control for
the doctor's parking lot, the applicant proposes to relocate an existing curb cut approximately
90 feet to the east from its current location on the north side of G Street The new driveway
location willalign with both the west access aisle of the doctor's parking lot and one of the .
driveways of a proposed parking lot on the south side of G Street The alignment of the two
driveways should not encourage movements across G Street but should simplify pedestrian,
bicycle, and automobile interactions. The relocated driveway will connect to the existing
parking area to the west, providing ingress and egress, but its location: farther away from the
existing entrance will help de-emphasize it The relocated driveway will also replace the
access to the doctor's parking lot that is will be closed with the construction of the new
building en!rance and access drive improvements. The applicant also proposes to add lift
arm gates to the doctor's parking lot to control access.

Site Plan Review Major ModllIcation- Wrinen Statement'
June 22, 2007
Pa"e 3
Construction of emolovee oarkini:! lot on the south side of G Street. The applicant proposes
to.replace'the informal employee parking that occurs on the remnant paving of the old St.
Alice School with a new parking lot. The parking lot will replace the parking that currently .
takes place on the site as well as spaces lost with the termination of a joint parking agreement
with the property at 1457 G Street (see Exhibit E-4). The new parking lot requires the
relocation of two existing curbcuts and one utility pole, The parking lot access will align
with the access drive on the north side of G Street while the exit will align with the relocated'
. . ., -'.
doctor's parking lotcurbcut discussed above, To improve pedestrian safety the applicant is
proposing a new mid"block crosswalk with lighting and signage near the west end of the
proposed parking lot (see site plans and Mid-block Crosswalk Evaluation, Attachment A.3).
Employees will be encouraged to use the building entrance at the northwest comer of the
doct~r's parking l~i, the entrance closest to the new. crosswalk. The proposed parking lot
will include vegetated swales.for storm water treatment, landscaping, and lighting.

C, Site Descrintion. Current Use. and Existing Conditions
As stated above, the north parcel is occupied by the main McKenzie Willamette Medical
Center campus. The parcel is fully developed, and the current land use application proposes
minor modifications in this area to imprbve the function of the site.
The south parcel was formerly the site of St. Alice SchooL The school building was removed
following the 'purchase of the property by McKenzie Willamette Hospital in 1998. All that
remains are the asphalt fire lane and playground paving, a concrete walkway, some site
lights, chain link fencing, and a few remnant landscape plants. The parcel is otherwise
vacant and is grass covered.
The Flood Insurance Rate'Map (FIRM) identifies tge site as being in Zone X outsidethe500.
year floodplain (Map Number 41039CI 142 F), Soil types on the site are classified in the
Lane County Soil Survey as Coburg-Urban Land Complex (32) and Awbrig-Urban land
Complex (6),
No wetlands are identified on the National Wetland Inveritory map or the Springfield Local
Wetland Inventory.
The site is identified as 'being located within the 10 year time oftravel zone for the potential
16th and Q Street welL '. '
IV. APPLICABLE CRITERIA
This section is organized by the applicable approval criteria, Applicable approval criteria
are outlined iii'bold italics below, followed. by proposed findings of fact in normal text.
Approval Criteria -Site Plan 'Review Modification - Major
In accordance with SDC 31.100, the Planning Director shall review a Type II Major Site
Plan Review Modification application based on particular criteria as specified in SDC
31.060. SDC 31,060 states, the Planning Director shall approve or approve with conditions
an application upon determining that criteria (I) through (5) of this Section have been.
satisfied: .
.(1) The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable
Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and ConceptualDevelopment Plan.
Findings
The HS Hospital Support Overlay District (SDC Article 28) meets the definition and
. intent of a Plan District as specified in SDC Article 2, The subject development site
is located within the HS Overlay District boundaries 'specified in SDC Article 28..
The HS district "shall supplement the regulations of the underlying district" and
provides "an area in the immediate vicinity ofthe McKenzie-Willamette Hospital for

.future hospital expansion and for hospital related support services." Therefore;
bec<\use the Hospital Support Overlay District, rather than the underlying zoning, '
regulates uses and associated development standards, and because the district is
consistent with the Plan District map, criterion SDC 31.060(1) is met.
(2) Capacity requirements of public improvements, including but not limited to, water
and electricity; sanitary sewer and storm water management facilities; and streets
and traffic safety' controls shall not be exceeded and that the public improvements
shall be available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otJierwise
'providedfor by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works
Director or a utility provider shflll determiIJe capacity issues.
Findimrs
Applicable public improvement standards can be found in Article 32 of the
Springfield Development Code'(SDC) and the City's Engineering Design Standards
.and Proced\lres Manual (EDSPM).
The subject site is in an area that is currently fully served by public and private
utilities and public streets. The impact of the proposed modifications on the capacity
of public improvements will be minor. Modifications on the north side will replace
'an old modular building with a new entrance built to meet the latest energy codes.
While this could decrease overall electric demand forthe buiiding, the change would
not be significant. The proposed modifications on the south parcel will increase
current electric and water use with the addition of site lights and irrigated landscape.
This use, however, will be far smaller than the demand that was produced by the
fonner use of the site as a schooL The proposed modifications covered by this
application do not include any changes that will increase or decrease the demands of
the sanitary sewers. . ....
The area of impervious surface will be increased by approximately 1,800 square feet
on the north parcel and by' about 6,000 square feet on the south parceL These will
result in increased stonn flows of less than 0.5 cfs from each parcel in a 25 year stonn
event. Stormwater rimofffrom th'e new and.replacement impervious surfaces'will be
heated structurally imd/or vegetatively prior to leaving the site, This minor increase
of runoff to the public system will be mitigated by the use of vegetative swaies on the
south parcel to slow the runoff rate and allow for some infiltration. See the
Hydrology Report (Attachment A.I) for additional information .
Since the proposed modifications do not include any new services, changes of use or
operations there will be no change in trips to and from the hospital and, therefore, no
new capacity issues with streets or traffic safety controls. .

II. Land Use Re(]uest
The applicant, McKenzie- Willamette Medical Center (MWMC), proposes to make
improvements to their Mohawk Boulevard campus in Springfield. With the proposed site
improvements and planned interior remodeling the applicant intends to improve the function
and appearance of their 'existing facilities in Springfield. .
The applicant requests approval of this Site Pan Review - Major Modification application in
regard to modifications to the Fimil Site Phin Equivalent Map which will be submitted
concurrently with this application. Specificall~, the modifications' are as follows'
Construction of a new main buildin!:! entrance and covered drop-off area.' To provide better
access to the hospital for patients and visitors the applicant is pH?posing to create a new
entrance at the east side of the hospital with a covered walk and drop-off area, The new
entrance will replace existing modular meeting rooms. located between the two ease-west
oriented wings of the hospital. The existing drop-off area, located to the east of the proposed
entry, will be rebuilt to provide separation between the vehicles in the drop-off area' and those
using the main internal access drive that connects G Street to I Street. The drop-off area will
have a canopy to protect users from inclement weather and will be connected to the building
entrance by a covered walkway. The applicant proposes to close a driveway between the.
access. drive and the doctor's parking area. The closing ofa driveway connection between
. the access drive and the doctor's parking area will eliminate a point of pedestrian-vehicle
conflict on the pedestrian route between G Street and the new building entrance. To
eliminate backing motions into the access drive, nine existing perpendicular parking spaces
along the east side of the drive will be replaced by two short term parallel parking spaces.
The last modification proposed for this area is the creation of four new accessible parking,
spacescimd the construction of an accessible route to the new building entrance.
Relocation ofG Street drivewav and addition of access controls for doctor's narkin!:! lot. To
help de-emphasize the current main entrance, after the opening of the new entrance, to
simplify driveway alignments along G Street, and to provide for impro~ed access control for
the doctor's parking lot, the applicant proposes to relocate an existing curb cut approx:imately
90 fed to the east from its current location on the north side ofG Street. The new driveway
location will align with both the west access aisle of the doctor's parking lot and one of the
driveways of a proposed parking lot on the south side of G Street. The aligrunent of the two
. driveways should not encourage movements across G Street but should simplify pedestrian,
bicycle, and automobile interactions. The relocated driveway will connect to the existing
parking area to the west, providing ingress and egress, but its location farther away from the
existing entrance will help de-emphasize it. The relocated driveway will als~ replace the
access to the doctor's parking lot that is will be closed with the construction o(the new
building.entrance and access, drive improvements. The applicant also proposes to add lift "
arm gates to the doctor's parking lot to control access..

Construction of emolovee oarkini:! lot on the south side of G Street. The applicant proposes
to replace the informal employee parking that occurs on the remnant paving of the old St.
. Alice School with a new parking lot. The parking lot will replace the parking that currently
takes place on the site as well as spaces lost with the termination of a joint parking agreement
with the property at 1457 G Street (see Exhibit E-4). The new parking lot requires the
relocatiori of two existing curbcuts and one utility pole. The parking lot access will aiign .
with the access drive on the north side of G Street while. the exit will align with the relocated
doctor's parking lot curbcut discussed above. To improve pedestrian safety the applicant is
proposing a new mid-block crosswalk with lighting and signage near the west end of the
proposed parking lot (see site plans and Mid-block Crosswalk Evaluation, Attachment A-3).
Employees will be encouraged to use the building entrance at the northwest comer of the
doctor's parking lot, the entrance closest to the new crosswalk. The proposed parking lot
will include vegetated swales for stormwater treatment, landscaping, and lighting.

Regarding subsection (2),'the majority of the trees on the site are not located near to
the areas of the proposed'improvements. As noted above, trees to remain in areas
abutting proposed improvements will be protected by tree preservation fencing. No
construction activity (including equipment or material staging) will be permitted
within the drip line of said trees during construction, Tree preservation fe,ncing is
proposed.to ensure tree preservation,
In accprdance with subsection (3), the.applicant's Landscape Plan includes
'specifications for landscape installation, irrigation installation and, maintenance, The
,landscape specifications comply with the requirements of subsection (3) and serve to
c\emonstrate compliance with this standard,
Based,on the findings presented above and the Landscape Plan submitted herewith,
this standard is met.
Screening and Lighting Standards (SDC 31.160)"
Unless otherwise specified in the Code subsection (I)(a) requires screening where
commercial and industrial districts abut residential districts and no approve'd
screening exists, The.north parcel is commercially zoned anc\abuts residentially
zoned property to the east and south. W.ith the exception of the relocation of a
driveway and walkway all the proposed improvements are on the interior of the
. parcel and are not a significant modification to the existing use. To provide screening
between the proposed improvements and the residential zones would require
screening in the interior of the parking lot or between existing parking and the public
right-of-way, cOl1flicting with SDC 31 ,140{3) requirements that such landscaping
generally not exceed 2 Y, feet in height at maturity, Therefore, no screening is
. ,proposed for the north parcel. The south parcel is also commercially zoned and abuts
residentially zoned property to the south and east. The Development Stap.dards for
the Hospital Services Overlay District (SDC 28.060 (3)) requires that parking lots
meet.the planting,standards applicable to commercial standards. These standards do
not require screening. As shown on the Landscape Plan (Sheet L7), however, the
applicant proposes landscaping that will provide a significantbuff<;r between the
parking lot and the street and adjacent uses.
The applicant is proposing exterior lighting in accordance with subsection (3). On the
, north parcel the existing lighting will remain unchanged except for two lights that
will be relocated on.the north side of the relocated driveway connecting the doctor's
parking lot and the west parking lot. The lights for the new parking lot on the .south
parcel will not exceed 25 feet in height and the fixtures will be dark sky compliant
with sharp-cutoff optics designed to reflect light away from less intense uses and
. adjacent pUblic rights-of-way, Preliminary studies indicate that the average level of
illumination will be 1.5 foot candles. Exterior light,Jocations'are shown on the on the
site plans. .

The findings presented above together with.the site plans and supplemental
information submitted herewith,demonstrate that the applicant has met this standard,
Parking StanJards (SDC 31.170)
Proposed improvements will result in no net increase in building area or any change
in use. The proposed improvements do; however, include a new parking lot to
replace parking that occurs on the remnant paving south of G Street, to replace
parking lost to vehicle circulation improvements proposed on the north parcel, and to
replace 13 spaces that are being lost with the termination of a Joint Use Parking
Agreement with the property at 1457 G Street. There are currently 76 striped parking
spaces on the south parcel (including 1 accessible space) and 291 parking spaces on
the north parcel (including 16 accessible sp,,-ces) for a total of 367 parking spaces
(prior to the recent termination of the 13 space parking agreement there were 380
spaces). The proposed improvements will result in 120 parking spaces in the new
parking lot south of G Street and 280 parking spaces an the north parcel (including 20
accessible spaces). With the terminated Joint Parking Agreement this results in a net
increase of20parking spaces (including 3 additional accessible spaces).
The south parking lot will primarily be for day shift employees who arrive between
6:30 and 9:30 am, Employees will be encouraged to use the building entrance at the
northwest comer of the doctor's parking lot, where they will clock in and out. On
Sundays the lot will also be available to provide parking for St. Alice Catholic
Church. Since the new parking lot is across a public street from the hospital buildings
the applicant is proposing to not provide any accessible parking spaces in the new lot
but' rather to increase the number of accessible parking spaces on the north parcel
closer to quilding entrances where they will not require users to cross the public
street. New and proposed accessible parking spaces are located near several building
entrance's to shorten the distance from the parking to various service areas within the
hospital. Given the characteristics of the use, the requirements of the zone and the
proposal as presented, these findings demonstrate compliance with this standard.
Based on the findings presented above and the site plans submitted herewith, this
standard is met. .
Parking Area 1mprovement Standards (SDC 31.190)
Regarding subsection (1 ),all new and modified parking areas will be surfaced with
asphaltic concrete:
Regarding subsection (2), all new parking areas have been designed with on-site
collection and treatment facilities that will eliminate sheet flows onto sidewalks,
public rights-of-way, or abutting properties, Facilities include vegetated swales and
trench drains.
Regarding subsection (3), 6 inch concrete curbs or wheel stops are proposed for all
new or improved parking spaces to protect abutting walks or landscape areas.

'Regarding subsection (4),.allparking areas are designed so that no vehicles will need
to back into the public'right,of-way when entering or exiting parking spaces.
Regarding subsection (5), all new or modified spaces spall be permanently and
clearly marked.
Regarding subsection (6), the proposed modifications are such that they should
neither increase nor decrease the use of the street for cross movements.

entrance and drop-off will be collected in catchbasins connected to a private
stormwater pipe that in turn connects to the 48" public stormwater pipe that runs
across the site north and east of the main hospital building.
Except for the runoff captur'ed by trench drains, the runoff from the proposed parking
lot on the south parcel will drain to three vegetated swales, one along the north edge
and one along each end and wrapping around the south side. In accordance with City
of Springfield stormwater standards, this ensures that runoff from greater than 50
percent if the parking and vehicle areas will be vegetatively treated before release to
J the public system, .
There are no.Water Quality Limited Watercourses or riparian areas on or nearthe

As noted in the discussion of Access and Driveway Standards (SDC 32,080) above,
the proposed improvements have been designed to align ingress-egress points on
either side of G Street with the intent of simplifying the interaction of vehicular,
'bicycle and pedestrian traffic,
The proposed improvements on the north parcel have been designed to reduce on-site
vehicular and vehicle pedestrian conflicts. Currently nine parking spaces
perpendicular to the main north-south access drive require vehicles to back into the
access drive. These spaces will be removed and replaced with two sh~rt term parallel
parking spaces, The closing of access to th~ doctor's parking lot from the main drive
will further reduce conflicts, Also the applicant is proposing a striped .pedestrian
crosswalk across G Street to enhance the safety 'of employees crossing to and from
the improved employee parking on the south parcel, as shown on th'e site plans and
discussed in the Mid-Block Crosswalk Evaluation (Attachment A-3), The proposed
, driveway relocation on the north side of G Street consolidates access to the doctor's
parking lot and to the parking area to the west along G Street, improving on site
vehicular circulation and eliminating the need for an additional driveway.
. . '
The existing development provides good connectivity within the development area
and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, and
commercial, and public areas. The proposed improvements serve to improve on-site
connectivity and do not negatively impact connectivity to off-site areas.
To reduce the curb cuts on G Street, a collector street, the parking lot could have been
-built farther to the east and taken access from 16th Street. In addition to being less
convenient for the intended users, hospital employees, this siting would create greater
conflicts with the residences located along the east side of 16th Street. This'siting
was, therefore, rejected in favor of the proposed design,
. The above findings, together with the site plans and supplemental information
submitted herewith,demonstrate that the applicant has met the requirements of this
, criterion.
