Finding I: The site is currently zoned Light Medium Industrial (LMI) according to the City's Zoning
Map and is designated Heavy Industrial (HJ) on the adopted Eugene-Springfield Metro Area General .
Plan ("Metro Plan").
Finding 2: The approved site development is consistent with uses listed in both the LMI District and the
HI District. For this reason, rezoning of the site from LMI to ill is not necessary or desirable to achieve
full development of the subject property in accordance with the approved plans.
Finding 3: The applicant is not proposing to change the zoning or land use designation for the site.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion A.
B. Capacity requirements of public improvements, including but not limited to, water and
electricity; sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets and 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.
Finding 4: Approval of this proposal would allow for construction ora 12,300 if two-story addition to

story addition to the BLM warehouse building requires modifications to the adjacent parking lot, site
landscaping, and bioswale. .
Finding S: For all public improvements, the applicant shall retain a private professional civil engineer
to design the site improvements in conformance with' City codes, this decision, and the current
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM). The private civil engineer also shall
be required to provide construction inspection services.
Finding 6: The Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed site plan and the surrounding
public services on February 10, 2009, City and agency staff's review comments have been incorporated
in findings and conditions contained herein.
Water and Electricity Improvements
Finding 7: SDC 4.3-130 requires each development area to be provided with a water system having
sufficiently sized mains and lesser lines to furnish adequate supply to the development and sufficient
access for maintenance. Springfield Utility Board (SUB) coordinates the design of the water system
within Springfield city limits. .
Finding 8: SDC 4.3-12S states, "Wherever possible, utility lines shall be placed III!derground."
Finding 9: The developer is not proposing to change the electrical or telecommunication lines required
to serve the development site, All lines are proposed to be placed underground in accordance with SDC
4.3-12S.
,
Finding 10: The existing water service to the site is adequate for the proposed site plan modifications.
There is an existing IS-inch water main running north-south within 3lst'Street, parallel with the western
boundary of the property. From the water main in 31st Street, ~ private IO-inch fire line and a private 6-
inch water line have been installed to serve the interior of the site.
Finding II : The proposed warehouse. building expansion will necessitate the relocation of
aplJroximately 71 linear feet of existing 2-inch water line and 67 linear feet of 6-inch fire protection
system water line. The, private water lines serve the BLM warehouse/office building, and will provide
service to the building addition.
Finding 12: There is electrical power available from the adjacent public road system, and three-phase
power runs underground inside the north property line. All utilities required to serve the existing site
development. arid proposed expansion area have been previously installed. SUB Electric advises the
existing facilities are sufficient to serve the proposed development.
Conclusion: As proposed, SUB Water and Electric facilities are available to serve the site and the
proposal satisfies this 'sub-element of the criterion.
Sanitary Sewer and Storm water Management Facilities
Sanitarv Sp,wer
Finding 13: Section 4.3-IOS.A ofthe SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each
new development and to connect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary

Finding 15: Pursuant to Chapter 3.03.4.A of the City's EDSPM and Section 4.4 of Portland's
Stormwater Management Manual, solid waste storage areas (ie, trash and recyclable enclosures) shall be
covered and hydraulically isolated from potential storm water pmoff, and directed to the sanitary sewer
system. "
Finding 16: There is an existing private 6-inch sanitary sewer. line that'is located at the eastern edge of
the proposed building addition, To accommodate the building expansion, the applicant is proposing to
relocate approximately 102 linear feet of existing sanitary sewer lateral currently located within the
building envelope area. The existing 6-inch sanitary sewer line and proposedlateral will be sufficient to
serve: the development. area. A plumbing permit will be required to relocate existing lines and install
new sanitary connections proposed within the site.
Stormwater Manal!ement (Quantitv)
, "
Finding 17: SDC.4.3-IIO,B requires that the Approval Authority shall grant development approval only
where adequate public and/or private stormwater management systems provisions have been made as
determined by the Public Works Director, consistent with the EDSPt>J.
, Finding 18: SDC 4.3-11 O.C states that a stormwater management system shall accommodate potential
runoff from its entire upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside of the development.
',Finding 19: SDC 4.3-HO.D requires that runofffrom.a development shall be directed to an approved
stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge.
Finding 20: SDC 4.3-110.E requires new developments to employ drainage management'practices that
. minimize the amount and rate of surface water runoff into receiving streams, and that promote water
quality.
Finding 21: To comply with Sections SDC 4.3-1 JO.B-E, stormwater runoff.from the site is to be
directed into a private drainage system consisting of piped downspouts, catch basins and bioswales,
Rooftop drainage from'the warehouse building is proposed to be piped directly to an existing lO-inch
storm water line in 31 ~ Street. Plumbing permits will be required for the proposed work, and an
encroachment permit will be required to complete utility connections in the public right-of-way.
','
Finding 22: The applicant is proposing to relocate approximately 120 linear feet of existing private 12-
inchstormwater line that -runs beneath the building envelope area. The applicant also is proposing to
install a new catch basin at the east edge of the building expansion area to serve ihe modified parking lot
area, The changes proposed to the existing stormwater drainage scheIne are iimited to truncating the
bioswale along the east edge of the existing BLM building, and piping rooftop runoff from the proposed
building through downspouts to the adjacent public drainage system, The, .proposed changes are
'necessary to accOl:nmodate the building envelope and modified parking lot and are supported by the
applicant's stormwater analysis.
Finding 23:. The covered portico structures at the main walk~ay entrances \0 the AFRC building do not
increase the amount of impervious surface, on the site, and therefore do not have an appreciable impact
on the drainage pattern for the development area.
Finding 24: The proposed site modifications do not appear to substantially change the runoff
characteristics of the site and there is sufficient capacity in the,proposed on-site stormwater management
system to handle the anticipated runoff from build-out ofthe site development.

Stormwater Management (Oualitv)
Finding 25: UndeiFederal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CW A), Endangered Species'Act (ESA),
and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield is required to
obtain, and has applied for, a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit A provision of
this permit requires the City to demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in urban stormwater to the
Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
Finding 26: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules req'uire the City's
MS4 plan to address six "Minimum Control Measures". Minimum Control Measure 5, "Post-
Construction Stormwater Management for New: Development and Redevelopment", applies to the
proposed development
Finding 27: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to develop, implement and
enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants in stormwater runoff to the MEP. The City also
must develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural or non-structural Best
Management Practices (BMPs) appropriate for the community.
Finding 28: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to use an ordinance or other
regulatory mechanism to address post-constniction runoff from new and re-development projects to the
extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms used by the City include the SDC, the City's
Engineering DeSign Standards and Procedures Manual and the future Stormwater Facilities' Master
Plan (SFMP).
Finding 29: As required in SDt 4.3-ll0.E, "a development shall be required, to eIl)ploy drainage
management practices approved by the Public Works Director and consistent with Metro Plan policies
and the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manuaf'.
Finding 30: Section 3.02 of the City's EDSPM states the Public Works Department will accept, as
interim design standards for stormwater quality, water quality facilities designed, pursuant to the policies
and procedures of either the City of Portland (BES) or the Clean Water Services (CWS).
Finding 31: Section 3.03.3.B of the City's EDSPM states' all public and private development and
redevelopment projects shall employ a system of one or more post-developed BMPs that in combination
are designed to achieve at 'least a 70 percent reduction in the total suspended solids in the runoff
generated by the development.' Section 3,03.4,E of the manual requires a'minimum of 50 percent of the
non-building rooftop impervious area on a site shall be treated for, stormwater quality improvement
using vegetative methods.
Finding 32: To meet the requirements of the City's MS4 permit, the Springfield Development Code,
and the City's EDSPM, the applicant has proposed to direct all non-rooftop runoff through a catch basin
and bioswale. The bioswale is proposed to be adjusted slightly to accommodate the modified building
envelope area, sidewalks and parking lot. An operations and maintenance plan that would ensure long-
term viabilitY of the bioswales on the Armed Forces Reserve Center site was previously submitted by
the applicant.
Finding 33: The vegetation proposed for use in the bioswale will serve as the primary pollutant removal
mechanism for the stormwater runoff, and will remove suspended solids and pollutants through the
processes of sedimentation and filtration. Satisfactory pollutant removal will occur only when the
vegetation has been fully established.

Condition of Approval:
1. ,Prior to approval of the Final Site Plan, the proposed private vegetative water quality swale serving
the development sIte shall be fully vegetated with all vegetation species established, Alternatively,
if this condition cannot be met, the applicant shall provide and maintain additional interim erosion
control/water quality measures acceptable to the Public Works Department until such time as the
swale vegetation becomes fully established.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this sub-element of the criterion.
Streets and Traffic Safety Controls
Finding 34: The 2237-acre AFRC site is located at the east end of Pierce ParkWay, north of Marcola
Road. The original site plan was reviewed under DRC2004-00005 and modified by DRC2005-00092
and DRC2007-00026. This application proposes to add a 12,300 If office/warehouse building, and 70-
foot radio antenna with small (unoccupied) equipment shelter. The proposed two-story building
expansion area has a footprint of approximately 6,250 If and replaces a comparable amount of surface
parking.
Finding 35: The proposed two-story, 12,300 ft' building addition is primarily for warehouse storage
and office use, and expected occupancy at build-out is 45 people.
Finding 36: Primary access to the site is via the main entry gate at Pierce Parkway. The subject
property also has frontage on 31'~ Street along the western edge of the site. South of the intersection
with Pierce Parkway, 31" Street <Is classified as a local street. The street is partially developed with a
20-foot wide asphalt mat surface within a 48-foot wide right-of-way. There is no curb, gutter or
sidewalk along the 31" Street frontage of the subject property. A low pressure sodium (LPS) streetlight
is located along the property frontage at the southeast comer of 31" Street and Pierce Parkway,
Finding 37: Near the southwest comer of the site, 31'( Street previously made an oblique (northeast to
southwest direction) crossing of the Southern Pacific Railroad line. Due in part to safety considerations,
and also because of intersection improvements at 28th Street and Marcola Road, 31" Street has been
truncated and barricaded to public travel north of the railroad line, A lockable swing gate also has been
installed at the northern end of the segment of 31" Street that abuts the site. There 'is no developed
access from the site directly onto 31~t Street. the applicant previously executed and recorded an
Improvement Agreement for future 31" Street improvements (Instrument #2007-055199, Lane County
Deeds & Records). '
Finding 38: Street trees have been installed along the property frontage on Pierce Parkway and 31"
Street in accordarice with previous Planning approvals.
Finding 39: The applicant previously submitted a major traffic impact study (TIS) for the original site
plan review (DRC2004-00005) in accordance with SDC 4.2-I05.AA. The TIS included an operational
analysis of the intersections 'of Marcola Road/28th Street, and 28th StreetlPierce Parkway. The
applicant's TIS also analyzed impacts of site trips on traffic capacity and level of service (LOS) at 28th
Street/Pierce Parkway and the signalized Marcola Road/28th Street intersection. The analysis concluded
that traffic at both intersections would operate with adequate capacity (LOS B or better) assuming full
build-out of the development as proposed.
Finding 40: As determined through review of the 2004 TIS, the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 1h
Edition contains insufficient data that could be used to determine trip generation estimates for the
subject site.
""
Date Received' L,/;I,)hYf
Planner: AL
Page 7 ofJ8
Finding 41: The applicant submitted an amended TIS with a previous land use application (DRC2007-
00026) that considered the expanded principal building, additional warehouse space, and increased
numbers of staff expected at the site when completed. Based on the amended TIS completed by Group
MacKenzie in October, 2006, the Bureau of Land Management/US Forest Service estimated trip
generation rate was 0.25 trips per employee (weekday PM peak hour), The trip generation rate for
military reserve personnel was estimated to be 0.39 trips per employee (weekday PM peak hour). The
proposed building addition is exclusively for BLM/Forest Service personnel; therefore, the 0.25
tripslhour generation rate will be used to calculate additional trips upon completion of the site
development as follows:
. Weekday PM Peak Hour Trips = 0.25 trips/employee X 45 employees = -12 trips
Finding 42: Based on the traffic analysis submitted by the applicant, existing transportation facilities
are adequate to accommodate the additional volume of traffic that would be generated by the proposed
development.
Conclusion: The transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate the additional vehicular
and pedestrian traffic that would be generated by the proposed development. The proposal satisfies this
sub-element of the criterion,
C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and
construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.
Finding 43: ' Criterion C contai!)s three different elements with sub-elements and applicable code
standards. The site plan modifiootion application as submitted complies with the code standards listed
under each sub-element unless otherwise noted with specific findings and conclusions, The elements,
sub-elements and code standards of Criterion C include but are not limited to:

<
Finding 80: The applicant previously obtained a Drinking Water Protection permit pursuant to Planning
Action DRC2008-0007J. SDC 3:3-225.A requires a Drinking Water Protection (DWP) Ove~lay District,
development application be submitted to the City in conjunction with Site Plan Review when a new or
expanded use includes .the introduction, expansion, storage, andlor production of hazardous materials in
a time of travel zone. The subject proposal is classified as'both an expanded use and expansion of
storage area; therefore, additional DWP requirements must be addressed.
Finding 81: The applicant's project narrative indicates that 'the existing DWP documentation,for the
BLM warehouse will be updated and re-submitted in support of the subject application, SUB Water
Quality Protection has reviewed the applicant's narrative and supports a revised DWP permit for the

Conclusion: As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies;this sub-element ofthe criterion.
D. Parking areas and ingresscegress points have heen designed to: facilitate vehicular traffic, bicycle
aud 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 curb cuts on arterial and collector streets as specified in this
Code or other applicable regul'dions and comply.with the ODOT access management standards
for State highways. (
Finding 84: Installation of driveways on ~ street increases tlie 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 driveways
intersect streets. Each of these techniques permits a longer, less cluttered sight distance for the motorist,
reduces the number ,and difficulty of decisions that drivers, must make, and contributes to increased
traffic safety.
Finding 85: SDC 42-120:A, I stipulates that each parcel is entitled to "an approved access to !! public
streef'. Site access is provided to the site via: a main entry gate onto Pierce Parkway, No changes to the
existing approved site access point are proposed.' ,
Finding 86: Ingress-egress points have been planned to facilitate traffic and pedestrian safety, avoid
congestion and minimize curb cuts on public streets as specified in SDC 4.2, 4.6, 5.15 and 5,17,
applicable zoning and/or overlay distrid requirements, and applicable refinement plans,
Finding 87: Within the development area, the proposed'on-site parkmg'spaces'and vehicle circulation
areas (including driving aisle widths) meet the requirements of the SDC.
Finding 88: The nearest bus transit service serving the proposed development area is provided by Lane
Transit District Routes #18 (MohawklFairview) and #19 (Fairview/Mohawk) operating in the vicinity
, along 28th Street and Marcola Road. Limited bus service also is provided by Route # 13 (Centennial)
operating along 28th Street and Marcola Road.
Finding 89: In ,addition to vehicular trips, 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.
Finding 90: The site is directly accessible from the public sidewalk system o~ 28th Street and Pierce
Parkway, which provide connections with nearby residential and commercial areas and transit stops. In
addition to internal pedestrian walkway connections between the main gated entrance and the principal
buildings, the proposed development provides for several direct pedestrian connections from the private
parking lots to the buildings on the site, .
Conclusion: The existing facilities are adequate to meet the site access, driveway and vision clearance
requirements ofSDC 4.2-120 and 4.2-130, As conditioned herein, the proposal satisfies this criterion.
,
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 sbrubs;

and 390.235-240, shall be protected as specified in th'is Code or in State or Federal law.
Finding 91: The Natural Resources Study, the National Wetlands Inventory, the Springfield Wetland
Inventory Map, Wellhead Protection Overlay and the list of Historic Landmark Sites have been
consulted and there are no significant natural features on this site, as it has been graded and partially
developed with a maintenance building, outdoor storage yard, driveways and paved parking areas,
Finding 92: The original site pl3n approval issued in 2005 implemented a voluntary 50-foot setback
from ,the Irving Slough, an identified wetland, Th'e portion of the Irving Slough abutting the proposed
development area is not designated a Water Quality Limited Watercourse (WQLW), The developer is
proposing to scale-back the outdoor parking compound at the eastern end of the developinenl site, and
realign the fencing away from the Irving Slough. Drainage from the parking lot is to be directed into a
series of drains and bioswales before discharge into the public stonnwater system, Therefore, the
proximity of the parking area to the Irving Slough should not have any adverse effect on this natural
feature.
Finding 93: Stonnwater from the subject site outfalls to the McKenzie River system,' The McKenzie
River is listed with the State of Oregon as a "water quality limited" stream for numerous chemical and
physical constituents, including temperature, Provisions have been made previously in this decision for
prot~ction of stonnwater quality. '
Finding 94: Springfield's drinking water aquifer is an identified and delineated Goal 5 natural resource
, subject to protection in accordance with SDC 4.3-115 and SDC 3.3-200. The subject development area
is, within the mapped 1.5 year TOTZ for the Pierce wellhead, The applicant is required to submit
revised Drinking Water Protection Overlay District documentation in accordance with a previous
condition of this decision (Condition 9). Approval of the revised Drinking Water Protection Overlay
District documentation will be required prior to issuance of final occupancy for the BLM warehouse
addition.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, the proposed development provides stonn and ground water quality
protection in accordance with SDC 3.3-200 and receiving streams have been protected in accordance
with SDC 4.3-110 and 4.3-115.
CONCLUSION: The Tentative Site Plan, as submitted and conditioned herein, complies with Criteria A-
