Summary of proposal: Construct a 19 unit apartment complex. There will be two tri-plexes, an
eight-plex and a four-plex. The existing single family dwelling will remain. The site is within
the 5-10 year TOTZ of the Drinking Water Protection Overlay and will require a I?WP
exemption prior to app~oval of the final site plan. Tax lots 3201 and 3300 are separate legal lots.
Currently, both lots arelinder the same ownership. Because this site is comprised of two legal
lots, each lot is allowed to be under separate ownership. Approval of this site plan will not
impact the ability for each lot to be under separate ownership.
Decision: Tentative Approval with conditions, as of the date of this letter. The standards of
the Springfield Development Code (SDC) applicable to each criterion of approval are listed
herein and are satisfied by the submitted plans and notes unless specifically noted with findings
and conditions necessary for compliance. The Final Site Plan must conform to the submitted
plans as conditioned herein. This is a limited land use decision made according to city code and
state statutes. Unless appealed, the decision is final. Please read this document carefully.
Other Uses Authorized by the Decision: None. Future development will be in accordance with
the provisions of the SDC, filed easements and agreements, and all applicable local, state and
federal regulations..

A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable
Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan.
Finding: The site is zoned MDR (Medium Density Residential). ~ area is designated
Medium Density Residential by the Metro Plan and the Q Street Refinement Plan.
Finding: As proposed, the development will comprise approximately 19 dwelling units
per acre. The inaximum density of the MDR zone is 20 dwelling units per acre.

this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works Director or a utility
provider shall determine capacity issues.
"
SANITARY SEWER
. Finding: The applicant has proposed to connect to the existing sanitary sewer line
located in 5th Street to the east of the parcel, as shown on plan sheet C2.1.
Finding: Pursuant to Chapter 3.03.4.A of the City's Engineering Design Standards and
Procedures Manual and Section 4.4 of Portland' s S~':'"mwater Management Manual, solid
waste storage areas shall be covered and hydraulically isolated from potential
stormwater runoff, and directed to the sanitary sewer system. The applicant has
complied with this section of the code as shown on plan sheet C2.1.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Finding: To comply with Sections 4.3-110.D & E of the Springfield Development Code,
stormwater runoff from the site will be directed into grassy detention swale prior to
_ discharge into the public system. The applicant proposes to connect to the public
system as shown on sheet C2.1. The applicant has been advised that there may be
another connection point to the public system adjacent to the proposed connection point.
This determination can be made in the field as either connection will be adequate.
TRAFFIC
Finding: 5th Street fronting the site is a 44-foot wide, fully improved, three-lane collector.
street. It provides one motor vehicle lane and one striped bicycle lane in each direction,
and a two-way center turn lane. Traffic volume on 5th Street is approximately 5,800
vehicles per day. Lane Transit District's #12 Gateway Route provides regular and
frequent bus service along 5th Street.
Finding: Based on ITE Land Use Code 220 (Apartment), development of the site as
proposed (18 new dwelling units) would generate 121 additional vehicle trips per day
and 11 PM peak-hour vehicle trips onto 5th Street. In addition; assumed development
may generate pedestrian and bicycle trips. According to the "Household" survey done
by LCOG in 1994, 12.6 percent of household trips are made by bicycle or walking and 1.8
percent are by transit bus. These trips may have their origins or destinations at a variety
. of land uses, including this site. Pedestrian and bicycle trips create the need for
sidewalks, pedestrian crossing signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking and bicycle lanes.
Fm:ding: Existing transportation facilities are adequate to accommodate additional trips
generated by the proposed development.
Conclusion: The proposal complies with SDC 5.17-125(B).
c. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design
and constructio':l standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.
Finding: Multi-unit development (three or more attached units) shall comply with the
design standards of SDC 3.2-240. In cases where the standards of this Subsection
conflict with other standards in this Code, the standards of this Section shall prevail.

Finding: The outdoor ligh,ting must comply with SDC 4.5-110. The lighting shall be
fully shielded and directed downward. Pole lights are limited to 25' high. The
submitted cut sheets comply with these standards. .
Finding: According to the comments from the Deputy Fire Marshal, the water supply is
adequate. The fire access lane must be constructed to support an 80,000 Ib load, in
conformance with the 2007 Springfield Fire Code 503.2.3 and SFC Appendix D102.1.
Prior to approval of the final site plan, submit load calculations to verify this
requirement
. Condition of Aooroval #1: Prior to aporoval of the final site olan, subrrut load
- calculations to verify the oermeable paving stone svstems and oaving cross sections
shown on Plan Sheet C2.0 meet the 80.000 Ib. imoosed load reauirement per 2007
Springfield Fire Code 503.2.3 and SFC Appendix D102.1.
Condition of Aooroval #2: "No Parking-Fire Lane" shms shall be posted on both sides
of the fire aoparatus access road and around the fire department turnaround per SFC
503,3 and SFC Apoendix D103.6.
Conclusion: The proposal complies with SDC 5.17-125(C).
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.
Finding: Installation of driveways on a street increases ,the number of traffic conflict
points. The greater number of conflict points increases the probability of traffic crashes.
Effective ways to reduce the probability of traffic crashes include: reducing the number
of driveways, increasing distances between intersections and driveways, and
establishing adequate vision clearance where drive,waysintersect streets. Each of these
techniques permits a longer, less cluttered sight distance for the motorist, reduces the
number and difficulty of decisions drivers must make, and contributes to increased
traffic safety.
Finding: SDC 4.2-120(A) (1) stipulates that each parcel is entitled to'''an approved access
to ~ public street" SDC Table 4.2-2 specifies that two-way driveways serving Multi-
Family (multi-unit) residential developments shall be a minimum of 24 feet wide.
Finding: Existing access to the site is provided by:
. a 12-foot wide driveway located near the southern boundary of Tax Lot 3300,
and
. an 18.5-foot wide driveway located near the southern boundary of Tax Lot 3201.
The applicant proposes to close the driveway to Tax Lot 3201 and widen the remaining
driveway from 12 feet to 18 feet to provide access to the apartment complex. The
driveway as proposed does not meet the 24-foot width requirement of SDC Table 4.2-2.

safety, avoid congestion and minimize curb cuts on public streets as specified in SDC
Sections 4.2, 4.6, 5.15, & 5.17, applicable zoning and or overlay district reqUirements, and
applicable refinement plans.
Condition of A~~.~"al #3: The drivewav shall be conStructed 24-feet wide Within the
apron and sidewalk area in accordance With the dimensional standards specified in SDC

geologic conditions; areas with susceptibility of flooding; significant clusters of trees
and shrubs; watercourses shown on the WQL W 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, 358.905-955 and
390.235-240, shall be protected as specified in this Code,or in State or Federal law.
Finding: The property overlies portions of the5-10 year time-of-travel zone (TOTZ)to
the Q Street Well. This area is highly susceptible to contamination from chemicals that
may spill or leak onto the ground sUrface. Because this is a.residential development, it is
not expected to generate or store hazardous materials. Because of this, an exemption
