HomeMy WebLinkAboutNotes, Work PLANNER 4/21/2009 Meeting Talking Points: Implementation of the nodal development overlay district is consistent with the Metro Plan Diagram Amendment Criteria of Approval found in SDC 5,14-135.C.1&2. Staff have demonstrated consistency with statewide planning goals and the Metro Plan. Nodal development is contemplated in adopted planning documents, including a Conceptual Development Plan for the McKenzie-Gateway area (1994); amendments to the Gateway Refinement Plan (2005); and adopted RiverBend Master Plan (2006). This node represents the fifth of six nodes originally contemplated in Springfield: Downtown, Glenwood, Mohawk and Marcola Meadows have been implemented; this is number 5; and the Jasper-Natron area will be next. Absence of sanitary sewer service in the Jasper-Natron area is the primary reason for not implementing nodal development yet. The nodal implementation is limited to areas currently inside the city limits, As properties within the originally contemplated nodal development area request annexation, the City can determine on a site-by-site basis whether the property is appropriate to incorporate into the nodal development area. One written comment in support of the proposal was received from Bonnie Ullmann, who is a contact person for the Game Farm Neighbors neighborhood association. However, Ms. Ullmann did not specify whether the comments represent the association's view or just her personal view. Staff advise that the comment on Attachment 7 should be accepted as Ms. Ullmann's personal testimony.
