The City Council is asked to conduct a public hearing to accept testimony and deliberate the
implementation of a Nodal Development Overlay Designation (NOD) affecting ....,,, o..:'..ately.
168 acres of northwest Springfield. The subject area is identified in adopted plans as the
"McKenzie-Gateway MDR Site." The City Council must decide whether to approve, approve
with conditions, or deny the request.

The subject area is located between Game Farm Road and the McKenzie River; and between
Deadmond Ferry Road and residential r.-r-.:ies on Wayside Loop. Approximately 180 acres
are identified for nodal implementation in TransPlan, the Gateway Refinement Plan and the
Metro Plan. However, staff advises that the requested plan amendment is limited to land
currently inside the City limits (approximately 168 acres). The affected area includes the
existing Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend and future commercial, residential and mixed
use development areas comprising the RiverBend Master Plan area. As unincv.t'v.a;~d areas
within the planned nodal implementation area request annexation, the City Council may consider
whether to implement the NDO designation on a case-by-case basis.
The post-acknowledgement plan amendment is consistent with a Conceptual Development Plan
adopted for the area in 1994; amendments to the M",uvl'vlitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan)
and Gateway Refinement Plan adopted in 2005 (Commercial Policy and Implementation Action
5.0); TransPlan; and provisions of the ....r'v .'ed RiverBend Master Plan. Springfield City
Council directed staff to implement the nodal development overlay plan designation through
adoption of the amended RiverBend Master Plan in 2006.
Upon implementation, the NDO designation will allow for a greater mix of housing types and
slightly higher dwelling densities (12 to 24 units per acre) in areas zoned Medium Density
Residential (MDR). For ". .,,_.;:es zoned mixed use or commercial, the NDO designation will
provide for higher floor area ratios (FARs), enhanced pedestrian and transit facilities, and special
development standards for buildings fronting onto public streets. The NDO designation also
prohibits certain vehicle-related commercial uses from locating in the area, including service
stations, dealerships, parts stores, tire sales and service, car washes, and equipment rentals.

. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject area is contemplated for nodal development in planning documents adopted by the City,
including the Metro Plan, TransPlan, the Gateway Refinement Plan, and the RiverBend Master Plan.
The Springfield City Council adopted the amended RiverBend Master Plan on June 19, 2006.
. Condition #12 of the Master Plan approval reads: "The City Council hereby initiates the application of.
the Nodal Overlay Plan Designation at the entirety of the McKenzie Gateway MDR Site as identified in
the Gateway Refinement Plan." The McKenzie Gateway MDR Site (now more commonly known as
RiverBend) was identified ina Conceptual Development Plan prepared by the City in 1994. Council
adopted .Ordinance 6109 (amending the Metro Plan and Gateway Refinement Plan) on January 10,
2005 with the intent of preserving the potential for nodal development in the RiverBend neighborhood.
These adopted plan amendments set the stage for development of this area with the Sacred Heart
Medical Center and campus. .
Consistent with the adopted plan amendments and City Council's direction, staff are presenting the
nodal development implementation action for consideration by the. Planning Commission and City
Council. The Planning Commission adopted a recommendation of sUPp6rt for the proposal by a 5-0
vote at the April 21, 2009 meeting.
REQUEST: .
Staff are requesting. approval to implement the Nodal Development Overlay . District (NDO)
designation for approximately 168 acres of the PeaceHealth campus. The NDO District would
supplement the zoning designations in the area, which include Community Commercial (CC), Mixed
Use Commercial (MUC) and M~dium Density Residential (MDR). Current zoning for the affected
properties is Medical Services (MS), CC and MDR. A Metro Plan Amendment at this time (not during
Periodic Review) is known as a Post-Acknowledgement Plan Amendment (PAPA).
SITE DESCRIPTION:
The affected properties comprise approximately 168 acres and are identified as Assessor's Map 17-
03-14-00, Tax Lot 1900; and Map 17-03-22-00, Tax Lots 100, 200, 903, 904, 3401-3403 and 3600-
4300. The subject properties include the developed Sacred Heart Medical Center site and ancillary

/
buildings; the Women's Care Center; and vacant future development areas surrounding the hospital.
The affected properties have no jurisdictional wetlands or inventoried Goal 5 natural or historic
resources. Although not an inventoried historic resource, a pioneer graveyard discovered during
excavation work at the south end of the subject area was surveyed and relocated in 2008.
The site is within the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary, and all the subject properties were
previously annexed into the City of Springfield. .The subject properties are within the Gateway
Refinement Plan area.
The affected properties are bordered on the east by the McKenzie River. The abutting properties to
the north and south are outside the City limits and zoned Low Density Residential (LDR). The areas
immediately west of the site are outside the City limits and zoned LDR and MDR.
This proposed plan amendment only affects properties. currently inside the City limits, However, the
ultimate boundaries of the. RiverBend nodal development overlay area could logically include
properties on Deadmond Ferry Road, Game Farm Road and Baldy View Lane that are outside the
current City limits. As these property owners request annexation, the City Council will have the
opportunity to incorporate the property into the RiverBend nodal development overlay area on a case-
by-case basis.
REVIEW PROCESS:
The proposed Metro Plan Amendment is a Type II Amendment because it is located inside the city
limits and is site specific. In accordance with SDC 5.14-135.B and 5.14-140, a Type II Metro Plan
amendment inside the city limits shall be presented to the Planning Commission for consideration and
recommendation, and to the City Council for final action.
The City Council initiated the Nodal Development Overlay designation for the subject area by
adopting the amended RiverBend Master Plan in 2006. Staff initiated this Post-Acknowledgement
Plan Amendment on January 29, 2009. A notice and supplementary information was mailed to the
Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) on February 12, 2009. Representatives
of the affected property owners (PeaceHealth and the Women's Care Center) were contacted directly
in mid-March prior to issuance of the hearing notice. The public hearing notice was mailed out on
April 1, 2009 to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed Nodal Development Overlay District
implementation area per Section 5.2-115.A1-14 of the Springfield Development Code (SDC).
Advertised notice of the public hearing was published. in the local newspaper (Register Guard) on
April 11th, 2009, as required in Section 5.2-115.B of the SOC.
Since this application was initiated by the City Council, staff have responded to three telephone calls
requesting clarification on the proposed amendments and possible impacts to properties adjacent to
the subject area. No substantive concerns were raised. Staff provided follow up written clarification
to one caller who asked whether a. conferenCe center. and hotel could be built in the nodal
development area. One written comment in support of the proposal was received from Bonnie
Ullmann of the Gam~ Farm Neighbors (Attachment 6).
At the Planning Commission public hearing on April 21, 2009, verbal testimony was submitted by
Philip Farrington, Land Use Planning & Development Director for PeaceHealth. Mr. Farrington
expressed support for implementation of the nodal development designation, but noted that certain
nodal development overlay standards may present site design challenges. Mr. Farrington also stated
that, as other properties within the McKenzie-Gateway MDR site are annexed to the City, individual
property owners shouldn't have to bear the additional cost of implementing the nodal development
designation.

As a result of the submitted testimony, the Planning Commission added Statement #4 on the Planning
Commission Recommendation (see Attachment 7) recommending that the City initiate the same
amendments to any of the subject properties that seek annexation and this plan designation.
METRO PLAN DESIGNATION:
The subject property is designated Commercial and Medium Density Residential as shown in the
Metro Plan diagram. Specific Findings related to the Metro Plan are discussed in this report.
METRO PLAN DIAGRAM AMENDMENT
CRITERIA OF APPROVAL - SDC 5.14-135.C.1 and 2
'The following criteria shall be applied by the City Council in approving or denying a Metro Plan
amendment application:
1. The amendment must be consistent with the relevant Statewide planning goals adopted by the
Land ConseNation and Development Commission; and
2. Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent.
CRITERIA OF APPROVAL - SDC 5.14-135.C.1
1. The amendment must be consistent with the relevant Statewide planning goals adopted by the
, Land ConseNation and Development Commission.
I' .
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 1:
Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement: To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the
opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the pla;Jning process.
Finding 1: Goal 1 addresses the need to develop a citizen involvement program to ensure citizen
involvement in all phases of the land use planning process. The Planning Commission and the City
Council will hold public hearings and accept testimony on the proposal. Through the procedures
established by the City, citizens have received notice of hearings in a generally published local paper
(Register Guard) and have the opportunity to be heard regarding the proposed plan amendment.
Notice of the public hearings was also given to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed Plan
Amendment area in accordance with SDC 5.2-115.A1-14 requirements. In addition, the provisions of .
ORS 197.610 regarding local government notice of proposed amendment provided to the Department
of Land Conservation and Development has been observed. Since the proposed amendment
complies with the City's citizen involvement program and citizens have opportunities to be involved in
the procedure, the proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 1. ..
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 2:
Goal 2: Land Use Planning: To establish a land use planning process and policy
framework as a basis for all decision and actions related to use of land and to assure an
adequate factual base for such decisions and actions.
Finding 2: Goal 2 requires that local comprehensive plans be consistent with the Goals, that local
comprehensive plans be internally consistent, and that implementing ordinances be consistent with
acknowledged comprehensive plans. Goal 2 also requires that larid use decisions be coordinated
with affected jurisdictions and that they be supported by an adequate factual base. .

. Because the proposed plan amendment does not affect properties outside the current city limits, the
City sent referral notice of the proposed amendment to the City of Eugene and Lane County on April
8, 2009 extending "interested party" status to each government. The City sent the statutorily required
notice of the initial public hearing more than 45 days in advance to the state Department of Land
ConselVation and Development, ensuring that they are given opportunity for comment and review on
conformity to applicable statewide planning goals. The DLCD reviewed the submitted materials and
advised they do not have concerns or objections with the proposed plan amendment (see Attachment
6).
The Metro Plan and the SDC, as well as the Statewide Planning Goals and applicable statutes,
provide policies and criteria for the evaluation of comprehensive plan amendments. Compliance with
these measures assures an adequate factual base for approval of the proposed .Metro Plan
amendment. As discussed elsewhere in this document, the proposed plan amendment is consistent
with the Metro Plan and the Goals.
Amendments to the Metro Plan and the Gateway Refinement Plan adopted in 2005 and 2006 provide
for nodal development in the subject area, and are consistent with the proposed plan amendment.
The subject area is also identified as Site 7B on the adopted "Potential Nodal Development Areas"
map in TransPlan. Therefore, by demonstrating such compliance, the amendments satisfy the
consistency element of Goal 2.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 3:
Goal 3 - Agricultural Land: To preserve and maintain agricultural lands.
Finding 3: This goal is inapplicable because as provided in OAR 660-15-000(3), Goal 3 applies only
to rural agricultural lands. The subject properties are located within an acknowledged urban growth
boundary, are inside Springfield's corporate limits, and are not in agricultural use.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 4:
Goal 4 - Forest Land: To .conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to
protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest
practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree. species as the
leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air, water, and fish
and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture.
Finding 4: Goal 4 does not apply within urban growth boundaries, per OAR 660-06-0020, and the
area affected by the proposed Plan amendment is inside Springfield's acknowledged UGB.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 5:
Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Area, and Natural Resources: To conserve
open space and protect natural and scenic resources.
Finding 5: Goal 5 requires local governments to protect a variety of open space, scenic, historic, and
natural resource values. Goal 5 and its implementing rule, OAR Ch. 660, Division 16, require
planning jurisdictions, at acknowledgment and as a part of periodic review, to
(1) identify such resources;
(2) determine their quality, quantity, and location;
(3) identify conflicting uses;
(4) examine the economic, social, environmental, and energy (ESEE) consequences that
could result from allowing, limiting, or prohibiting the conflicting uses; and
(5) develop programs to resolve the conflicts.

ATTACHMENT 1 - 4
The subject properties are not on Springfield's acknowledged Metro Plan Goal 5 inventory. No
threatened or endangered species have been .inventoried on the site, and no archaeological or
significant historical inventoried resources are located on the site. A pioneer graveyard discovered
during site excavation work at the south edge of the RiverBend Master Plan area was surveyed and
relocated in 2008.
The National Wetland Inventory and Springfield Local Wetland Inventory maps have been consulted
and there are no jurisdictional wetlands warranting protection located on the site. A cluster of small,
non-significant wetlands (depicted on the Springfield Local Wetland 'Inventory, and identified as Site
M07 on the Springfield Natural Resources Study) are located near the northeast edge of the subject
area. These non-significant wetlands are not identified or contemplated for protection in the
RiverBend Master Plan. .
The McKenzie River is an identified riparian resource that abuts the east boundary of the subject
area. A, riparian setback and conservation zone has been established within the RiverBend Master
Plan area. The proposed plan amendment is only applicable to existing and future urban
development areas within the RiverBend Master Plan, Area, and will not have an adverse effect on
protection or preservation of this resource. Therefore, the proposed amendment does not alter the
City's compliance with GoalS. .
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 6:
Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of
the air, water and land resources of the state.
Finding 6: The purpose of Goal 6 is to maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land
resources of the state. Generally, Goal 6 requires that development comply with applicable state and
federal air and water quality standards. In the context of the proposed Metro Plan amendment, Goal
6 requires that the applicant demonstrate that it is reasonable to expect that applicable state and
federal environmental quality standards can be met.
The proposed plan amendment does not modify any of the Goal 6 related policies of the Metro Plan,
nor does it amend the Regional Transportation Plan (TransPlan), the Springfield Development Code,
,other applicable Goal 6 policies, or c;lny regulations implementing those policies. .
Most of the subject area lies within the 1-20 Year Time of Travel Zones and Zone of Contribution for
the Sports Way wellhead. The northeast edge of the, subject area lies outside the mapped Zone of
Contribution for Springfield drinking water wells. Because most of the area is regulated by the
Drinking Water Protection Overlay District, existing and future development must demonstrate
compliance with the City's Drinking Water Protection standards. The proposed amendment does not
alter the City's compliance with Goal 6. ..
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 7:
Goal] - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: To protect life and property from
natural disasters and hazards.
Finding 7: Goal 7 requires that development subject to damage from natural hazards and disasters
be planned and/or constructed with appropriate safeguards and mitigation. The goal also requires
that plans be based on an inventory" of known areas of natural disaster and hazards, such as areas
prone to landslides, flooding, etc.

ATTACHMENT 1 - 5
Staff has reviewed the natural constraints map and .the FEMA Floodplain Map in relation to the
, subject area. The subject area is relatively flat and is not subject to landslide hazards. The eastem
half of the subject area is within the mapped FEMA 100 year floodplain. A McKenzie River floodplain
analysis prepared by David Evans & Associates in November, 2003 has updated the flood level
information for the subject area. Existing and future development in the area must demonstrate
compliance with the Floodplain Overlay District provisions of the City's Development Code, including
establishing building floor elevations at least one foot above the, calculated flood level. Therefore,
approval of the proposed Plan Amendment will not alter the City's acknowledged compliance with
Goal 7 through its adopted plans, codes and procedures.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 8:
Goal 8 - Recreation Needs: To satisfy the. recreational needs of the citizens of the state
and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational
facilities including destination resorts.
Finding 8: Goal 8 requires local governments to plan and provide for the siting of necessary
recreational facilities to "satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors" and,
where appropriate, provide for the, siting of recreational facilities including destination resorts. Staff
has consulted the Willamalane 20-year Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan in relation 'to Goal
8 compliance. The Willamalane 20-year Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan was adopted by
the City of Springfield as part of the Metro Plan's compliance with Goal 8. According to Map 2 of the
Comprehensive Plan, two future pari< and recreation facilities are contemplated within the eastern half
of the subject area, which is identified for future residential development. The proposed plan
amendment does not preclude the acquisition of public land for provision of recreational facilities,
including neighborhood and special use parks as noted in the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the
proposed plan amendment does not alter the City's compliance with Goal 8.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 9:
Goal 9 - Economic Development: To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state
for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, weffare, and prosperity of Oregon's
citizens. . .
Finding 9: Goal 9 requires the city to provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic
activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of the citizens. Because the nodal development
overlay does not supplant the underlying commercial and mixed use zoning of the affected properties,
and nodal designation supports and encourages more intensive development of these lands, the
proposed amendment will provide additional employment opportunities by allowing more intensive site
development thereby enhancing the city's capacity for' economic development. Therefore, the
proposed amendment further implements the City's compliance with Goal 9.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO GOAL 10:
Goal 10 - Housing: To provide for the housing needs. of citizens of the state.
Finding 10: LCDC's Housing goal requires cities to maintain adequate supplies of buildable lands for
needed housing, based on an acknowledged inventory of buildable lands.
The 1999 Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Land and Housing Study ;s Springfield's
most current adopted housing study related to Goal 10. The City of Springfield is also currently
undergoing a new Residential Lands Study that will analyze the housing inventory and projected
needs for the next 20 years. Preliminary findings of the Residential Lands Study suggest that there is
a need for additional housing within the 2010-2030 planning period. Some of the anticipated need
Date Received:.s4V~Of
Planner: AL
ATTACHMENT 1 - 6
,. ,1
could be met through increasing density of existing residential zones. The proposed amendment
would increase allowable density levels within the subject area, thus providing more housing options
for Springfield residents. The residential component of the subject area is zoned MDR, and is
currently vacant. The nodal overlay would allow for housing densities to be increased up to 20%
above the base standards of the MDR District. Such action is. clearly consistent with intent and
purpose of Goal 10.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 11:
Goal 11- Public Facilities and Services: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient
arrangement of public facilities and services as a framework for urban and rural
development.
OAR 66o-011-0005(7)(a)-(d) Definition of Public Facilities:
(a) Water
(b) Sanitary Sewer
(c) Stonn sewer
(d) Transportation
Finding 11: This goal requires the provision of a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public
. facilities and services. The subject area is located within the Springfield UGB and city limits, and
already contains a regional hospital facility and ancillary medical service buildings. The subject area
is accessed via recently-completed local and regional transportation improvements, including the
Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway extension, Cardinal Way extension, widening of Beltline Road, and
construction of RiverBend Drive. The proposed nodal development overlay will not affect the ability to
provide needed services to the 'subject area. All the required urban services are existing or available
to support future residential, commercial and mixed used development on the subject properties. The
Metro Plan and associated facility plans have been acknowledged to conform to Goal 11, thereby
ensuring that public facilities and services are currently available to the subject site. Therefore, the
proposed amendment does not affect the Metro Plan's compliance with Goal 11.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 12:
Goal 12 - Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient. and economic
transportation system. .
Finding 12: Goal 12 requires local governments to provide and encourage a safe, convenient and
economical transportation system. The proposed amendment involves about 168 acres of property,
of which approximately 50 acres is already developed \')lith the hospital facility and ancillary quildirigs.
The transportation analysis prepared for the RiverBend Master Plan contemplates build-out of the
subject area with a combination of commercial, residential and mixed-use development. Nodal
designation of the subject area was contemplated in the regional transportation plan adopted for
. Eugene-Springfield (TransPlan) and long-range plans adopted by the City. Implementation of the
nodal designation for the subject properties is a logical progression of the recent and planned
transportation projects that directly or indirectly benefit the subject area, including: Pioneer Parkway
roundabout and MLK Jr. Parkway Extension; eastbound Beltline Road off-ramp from 1-5; future
Gateway/Beltline intersection improvements; RiverBend Drive' construction; and installation of
signalized intersections on MLK Jr. Parkway at the intersections with RiverBend Drive, Cardinal Way
and Game Farm Road East. . ' ',.'
In addition to street and intersection improvements, the subject properties will derive a direct benefit
from the new Bus Rapid Transit (EmX) line currently being constructed to serve the Gateway area of
north Springfield. Provision of a highly efficient publiC transportation system is a key element of the

nodal development concept. Two, EmX line transit stops are slated for construction within the subject
area - one near the intersection of MLK Jr. Parkway and RiverBend Drive, and another to serve the
Sacred Heart Medical Center.
. Any significant intensification of development (beyond that contemplated in adopted plans and
studies) will be subject to development review to assure existing transportation capacity is not
exceeded. Therefore, the proposed plan amendment is consistent with Goal 12 and applicable local
imp.lementing policies. -
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 13:
Goal 13 - Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. Land and uses deveioped on the
land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of
energy, based upon sound economic principles.
Finding 13: The Energy goal is a general planning goal and provides limited gUidance for
site-specific plan. amendments. The proposed amendment has no direct impact on energy
conservation, though it would arguabiy promote greater energy efficiency by enabling future
development at increased density levels and with more transportation options within the subject area.
,Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with, and does not alter, the City's continued
compliance with Goal, 13.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 14:
Goal 14 - Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to
urban land use.
Finding 14: Goal 14 requires local jurisdictions to provide for an "orderly and efficient transition from
rural to urban land use". The subject area is within the UGB and the City limits of Springfield, and
within an existing urbanized area of the community. A portion of the subject area has been intensively
developed with a major hospital facility and medical campus. Therefore, Goal 14 is not applicable to
this application.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOAL 15: '
Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain 'the
natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along
the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. '
Finding 15: Goal 15 does not apply to the proposed plan amendment because the subject area is not
located within the Willamette River Greenway. However, similar protection measures for the
McKenzie River have been implemented through the development plans adopte~ for the subject area.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOALS 16-19:
Goal 16 through 19: (Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, ,and
Ocean Resources).
Finding 16: The subject site is not located within any coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune.
resources related area. . Therefore, Goals 16-19 do not apply to this Plan Map Amendment
application.

CRITERIA OF APPROVAL - SDC 5.14-135.C.2
2. Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent.
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO 5.14-135.C.2:
Finding 17: The application requests amendment of the Metro Plan diagram to implement a nodal
development overlay ,for approximately 168 acres. This section of the application' narrative addresses
the consistency of the amendment with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan" and to demonstrate
that adoption of the amendment will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent as required by the
approval criteria in SDC 5.14-135.C.2. '
This narrative only addresses those policies that apply to the proposal, and does not discuss those
portions of the Metro Plan that: (1) apply only to rural or other lands outside of the urban growth
boundary; (2) apply to land uses other than the current or proposed designations for the site and will
not be affected by the proposed Metro Plan diagram amendment; or (3) clearly apply only to specific
development applications such as site plan review submittals or subdivisions. In many instances the
goals, policies, and implementation measures apply to specific development proposals that will be
addressed through compliance with applicable City regulations during site plan review.
The Metro Plan Introduction, Section 0 provides the following definitions:
A Qoal as a broad statement" of philosophy that describes the hopes of the people of the
community for the future of the community. A ooal may never be completely attainable, but is
used as a point to strive for.
An obiective is an attainable target that the community attempts to reach in striving to meet a
goal. An obiective may also be considered as an intermediate point that will help fulfill the
overall goal.
A policv is a statement adopted as part of the Plan to provide a consistent course of action
moving the community towards attainment of its goals.
Except for the Growth Management Goals, which are addressed below, each of the Metro Plan
policies are addressed in the order in which they appear in the Plan 'Element section of the Plan. '
Finding 18:
Metro Plan Element: 'Growth Management
, Policv 1..: The urban growth boundary and sequential development shall contin~e to be implemented
. as an essential means to achieve compact' urban growth. Provision of all urban services shall be
concentrated inside the urban growth boundary.
The proposed amendment satisfies this policy because the subject property is inside the UGB and city
limits and, as such, encourages compact urban growth. Urban services are available at sufficient
levels to accommodate existing and future development. Implementation of the nodal development
overlay will encourage more compact and efficient land development, which is consistent with this
policy. Future development within the affected properties will be subject to development review, and
any need for increased capacity will be addressed through this process. The City's development
review processes ensure that the appropriate level of services is available to serve existing and future
development.

Finding 19:
Metro Plan Element: A. Residential Land Use and Housing Element
Policv A.11: Generally locate higher density residential development near employment or commercial
services, in proximity to major transportation systems or within transportation-efficient nodes.
The subject area contains an existing major employment center (regional hospital facility and medical
service buildings). Vacant commercial and mixed use properties within the subject area are expected
to generate employment opportunities as these sites develop. Additionally, the subject properties are
adjacent to the Gateway area, which is a focal point for employment and commercial activities in north
Springfield. The Gateway area, including the subject site, is served by major transportation
connections that include 1-5, Beltline Road, MLK Jr. Parkway, RiverBend.Orive, and Gateway Street.
The residential component of the RiverBend Master Plan area is planned to be medium density
h.ousing, with additional opportunities for residential dwelling units in mixed use zones. Higher
dwelling unit densities are planned adjacent to the hospital campus, which is consistent with the
principles of nodal development and policies listed in the Residential Land Use and Housing Element.
As stated previously, the Gateway EmX bus rapid transit line .is currently under construction and is
designed to serve the subject site and greater Gateway area of Springfield.. There are two transit
stops planned to serve the subject area. Provision of a highly efficient transit system that allows users
to quickly access nearby commercial and employment centers, downtown Springfield and Eugene,
and local educational institutions is consistent with nodal development principles and Metro Plan
Policy A.11.
Policv A.22: Expand opportunities for a mix of uses in newly developing areas and existing
neighborhoods through local zoning and development regulations.
The proposed amendment will not change the underlying commercial, mixed use, and medium
density residential zoning of the subject area. Implementation of nodal development designation
discourages low-intensity automobile-oriented uses and, instead; encourages mixed use development
and more compact, efficient land development. The proposed amendment is consistent with Policy
A.22 of the Metro Plan. .
Finding 20:
Metro Plan Element: D. Willamette River Greenway, River Corridors, and Waterways Element .
Policv 0.5: New development that locates along river corridors and waterways shall be iiinited to
uses that are compatible with the natural, scenic, and environmental qualities of those water features.
The proposed amendment should not have an adverse effect on the existing and planned riparian
setbacks and conservation areas along the stretch of the McKenzie River that is adjacent to the
subject area. Adoption of the RiverBend Master Plan and subsequent development of the subject
area with the Sacred Heart Medical Center identified provisions for protecting and enhancing the
riparian zone within the subject area. Increased building setbacks, controlled public access (paved
pathways), and riparian restoration zones have been used in the subject area to ensure existing and
future development is compatible with the river corridor. As new development is proposed along the
river corridor, it will be reviewed for confonnity with the adopted Master Plan and riparian protection
policies and subject to approval by the City. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with
Policy 0.5 of the, Metro Plan. .

Finding 21:
Metro Plan Element: F. Transportation Element
Uind Use Policv F.1: Apply the nodal development strategy in areas selected by each jurisdiction that
have identified potential for this type of transportation-efficient land use pattern. '
Land Use Policv F.2,: Support application of the nodal development strategy in designated areas
through information, technical assistance, or incentives.
Land Use Policv F.3: . Provide for transit-supportive land use pattems ,and .development, including
higher intensity, transit-oriented development along major transit corridors and near transit stations;
medium- and high-density residential develoPl11ent within one-quarter mile of transit stations, major
transit corridors, employment centers, and downtown areas; and development and redevelopment in
designated areas that are or could be well served by existing or planned transit,
Land Use Policv F.4: Require improvements that encourage transit, bicycles, and pedestrians in new
commercial, public, mixed use, and multi-unit residential development.
Land Use Policv F.5: Within three years of TransPlan adoption, apply the NO, Nodal Development,
designation to areas selected by each jurisdiction, adopt and apply measures to protect designated
nodes from incompatible development and adopt a schedule for completion of nodal plans and
implementing ordinances. '
Land Use Policv F.19: Establish a BRT system composed offrequent, fast transit service along major
corridors and neighborhood feeder service that connects with the corridor service and with activity
centers, if the system is shown to increase transit mode split along BRT corridors, if local
govemments demonstrate support, and if financing for the system is feasible. '
The subject area is identified as Site 7B on the "Potential Nodal Development Areas for the Eugene-
Springfield Metro Area" map of TransPlan. By design, nodal development areas encourage
pedestrian, bicycle and transit-oriented transportation uses - something that has already occurred on
the Sacred Heart Medical Center site with construction of walking paths, bicycle, lanes and bike
parking areas, and existing and planned transit service. Future mixed use, commercial, and medium
density residential development in the subject area will be required to address these standards. As
stated previously, the planned EmX bus rapid transit line will serve the Gateway area including the
subject site (the EmX Gateway line is projected to start service in 2010). Finally, the City previously
adopted amendments to the Metro Plan and the Gateway Refinement Plan in anticipation of nodal
development in the subject area. Implementation of the nodal development designation for the
subject area is consistent with provisions of the adopted TransPlan.and, therefore, is consistent with
Metro Plan Policies F.1 through F.5 and F.19.' '
Finding 22:
Metro Plan Element; G. Public Facilities and Services Element
POlicv G.1: Extend the minimum level and full range of key urban facilities and services in an orderly
and efficient manner consistent with the growth management policies in Chapter II-B, relevant policies
in this chapter and other Metro Plan policies.
The subject area is located inside the Springfield city limits and the UGB. All necessary infrastructure
and key urban facilities/services are present to serve existing development or are available to serve

future development in the subject area in conjunction with site plan review. Therefore, the proposal is
consistent with the above policy. .
METRO PLAN AMENDMENT CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds that the proposed amendment meets the criteria ofSDC 5.14-135.C.1 & 2. After review of
the adopted City land use plans and studies, evidence provided by staff research, existing uses in the
subject area, and the applicable criteria of approval, staff finds that the proposed Metro Plan
Amendment is appropriate for the subject area. .

policy provides that

land in the
development area to residential, there is no place to put the transferred
units; the buildable
part of the site can currently be developed up to the maximum density for
the base zone.
The only way to truly transfer density from one part of a site to another
is to take the

site (i.e., clustering
the allowed housing on the buildable portion of the site and preservi\g

fall below the base
zone standard. This is what some cities' PUD regulations do.

Subject: Planning Case LRP 2009-00001
Dear Mr. Limbird and members of the Planning Commission and City Council,
I would like to lend my support to implementing aNodal Development
Overlay
District for any portions of the Gateway Refinement Plan area. In
particular,
at this time, I support the overlay on the southern portion of the'
PeaceHealth
property.
My reasoning for support of. this planning designation is that I believe
it
will lend a more viable commercial and residential area in the long run.
It
will benefit. the Game Farm Neighbors area by implementing design
standards for
corrunercial land. This will improve the overall liveability of the Game

area

I have. been educating myself by having participated in Springfield
citizen
planning 'committees that addressed the idea of nodal development in our
neighborhood. I believe nodal development to be a tremendous strategy for
long-term, far-reaching good planning that ultimately will be beneficial
to.
the Game Farm Neighbors area. I sincerely believe that the long term'
residents of. the area should have the advantage of city planning that
demonstrates foresight at this point in time.
Springfield's commitment to nodal development is very encouraging and I
am
fully behind the concept. Please let me know if I can help in the
process.
Please add my support to the written record for the public hearing.
