within the Mixed-Use Co=ercialzoning district. Bowling

Proposed Change to SDC Section 3.2-610 in legislative format. (Attachment 1-3)
Articles describing the changing market for bowling alleys (Attachment 1-14 to 1-19)
I. Executive Summary _. '
AD. amendment has been proposed to add ''Bowling Alleys" to the list of permitted uses
in the Mixed Use Co=ercial zoning district. Bowling alleys are not currently allowed
in theMixed-Us~ Co=ercial zoning district. The amendment would allow bowling as
an activity but would not change the pedestrian-oriented, transit supportive design
standards that apply to development in the Mixed-Use Comri:1ercial zoning district.
These design standards are important to achieving attractive co=ercial developments in
mixed-use areas. The standards are also a key to ~plementing "nodal development,"
one of the TransPlan strategies for reducing Springfield's reliance on the automobile.
The applicant describes a changing market for bowling facilities. There is less
dependence on old institutions like bowling leagues to support the Use. Instead, the
applicant sees future bowling establishments as being more upscale, catering to
occasional users like families and adults who enjoy bowling as a recreational activity that
brings frlends and families together.
To reach this new market, these new upscale bowling establishments have replaced snack
bars with full service restaurants. The seedy arcades and pool tables that are identified
with old-style bowling alleys have also been upgraded to create a family entertainment
experience for patrons before 8 pm and a late even.i.D.g club experience for adults seeking
an active' night life. Attachment 2 is compilation of selected news articles describing the
new trend in bowling establishments.

ATTACHMENT 1 - 4
EXHIBIT B - P2
Staff findings based on the critena for approving amendments to the Springfield
Development Code found in SDC Section 5.6-115 are sufficient to support of City
Council decision to approve the amendment.
BACKGROUND
Section 3.2 600-Mixed-Use Zoning Districts was drafted in 2002. The "Schedule of
Use Categories" d~veIoped by an advisory committee composed of citizens, business
owners and members of the Planning Commission, that evaluated more than 200 uses for
inclusion in the Mixed-Use Zoning District. There remains no specific record'ofthe
rationale for not permitting bowling alleys in the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zone. Other
, recreational uses in the Mixed Use Co=ercial district such as gyms and athletic clubs,
recreation centers, and miniatur~ golf were permitted in the zone. The other uses
mentioned as part of these new upscale bowling complexes are already permitted in the
Mixed~Use Co=ercial district, including arcades, pool halls, and restaurants. '
At the time the advisory committee was considering the land uses that would be allowed
in the Mixed-Use Co=ercial district, experience with how to structure "mixed-use"
zoning and "nodal development" was limited. Over the past six years, observation of
other co=unities as well as our own "~l'...;ence has broadened. The emphasis on
achieving attractive commercial development that is pedestrian-friendly and transit
supportive is seen as more important than regulating publicly accepted recreational
activities. Other recreational uses are allowed in the Mixed-Use Co=ercial district as
can be seen in Attachment 1, the legislative version of the proposed amendment
Springfield has a single bowling alley, located at 9th and Maio Street. 1frree additional
lanes are located in Eugene. These establishments have been in business at the same
locations since before 1970.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES AND SERVICES
The impact of a bowling alley use on public facilities such as water, and sanitary sewer is
consistent with other uses allowed in the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zone. The International
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual estimates that bowling alleys
generate about 85 trips during the PM peak hour between 4pm-6pm on adjacent streets.,
By comparison, trip generation for an athletic club would be 184 trips and a sit down
restaurant is estimated to be 414 trips during the same PM peak hours. As mentioned
above, sit down restaurants and athletic clubs are allowed in the Mixed-Use Co=ercial
zone. Bowling alleys typically generate traffic during off-hours after rush hour traffic has
abated. '
lbis amendment is a citizen initiated amendment. The amendment, if approved, would
apply to all properties in the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zone and not just to the properties
owned by the applicant. '

EXHIBIT B - P3
Based on the findings of staff with respect to the criteria' defined in 5.6-115 for
approving amendments to the SDC, staff finds the proposed amendments to SDC
Section 3.2-610 to be consistent with these criteria and reco=end ap}uv,'al of the
p.vpvsed amendments.
n. Procedural Requirements
Procedural requirements for amending the Springfield Development Code (SDC) are
described in Sections 5.6-100 and 5.1-140 Dfthe SDC. '
SDC Section 5.6-105 indicates that the Planning Director, Planning Commission, City
Council or a resident of the City can initiate amendments to the SDC. Such amenrtTnPnts
of are reViewed under a "Type IV" procedure (Section 5.6-110) and'require public
hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council. Type IV procedures are
detailed in Section 5.1-140 of the SDC. The proposed revision to SDC Section 3.2-610
was initiated by citizen request.
SDC Section 5.2-110 (B) requires that legislative land use decisions be advertised in a
newspaper of general circulatioIi;, providing information about the legislative action and
the time, place and location of the hearing.
Findings:
#1. The applicant, S. R Yett initiated the proposed these amendment to Section
3.2-610. The amendment is not site-specific and falls under the definition of a
legislative action.
#2. A "DLCD Notice Proposed Amendment" was mailed to the Department of
Land Conservation and Development on June 9, 2008, alerting the agency to
the City's intent to amend SDC Section 3.2-610. The notice was mailed more
than 45 days in advance of the first evidentiary hearing Bs required by ORS
197.610. No coJ:IJIi:J.ent has been received from the Department concerning the
amendments.
#3. Notice of the public hearing concerning this matter was published on
Thursday, August 7, 2008 in the Eugene Register Guard, advertising the
hearing before the Springfield Planning Commission on September 2, 2008,
and the Springfield City Council on September 15, 2008. The content of the
notice followed the direction given in Section 5.2-115 of the SDC for
legislative actions.
#4. ORS 197.047(4) requires the local gove=entto mail a notice to every
landowner whose property would be "rezoned" as a result of an amendment to
planning policies that would limit or prohibit land uses previously allowed in
. , the affected zone.

#5. The proposed amendment to the Springfield Development Code adds bowling
alleys to the list of permitted uses and does not introduce any new limitation on
the uses already allowed in the Mixed-Use Co=erc;ial zoning district
Mailed notice to limdowners is therefore not required under the provisions of
ORS 197.047(4). '
Conclusion:
Procedural requirements described in Sections 5.6-100 and 5.1-140 of the SDC have been
followed. Notice requirements established by DLCD and the Oregon Revised Statutes
for amending the Development Code have also been followed.
m: Decisjo~ Criteria and Findings
SDC Section 5.6-115 describes the critena to be used in approving an amendment to the
SDC. It states that in reaching a decision, the Planning Commission and the City Council
must adopt findings which demonstrate conformance with "1) the Metro Plan; 2)
applicable State statutes; and to 3) applicable State-wide Planning Goals and
Administrative Rules. " '
Criterion #1 "Conformance with the Metro Plan"
, ,
Findings
#6. The Mixed-Use Co=ercial zoning district implements the "Mixed-uses,"
"Co=unity Co=ercial Center" and Nodal Development Area" designations
in.the Metro Plan. Amendments to the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zoning district
should be consistent with the Metro Plan desigD.ations that the zoning district
implements.
#7. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) is the
guiding comprehensive land use planning policy document for the City of
Springfield. The "Land Use Designations" section of the Metro Plan describes "
uses that are intended for Co=unity Co=ercial Centers (page TI-G-4).
Among the broad categories listed are "private recreational facilities."
Bowling alleys are generally recognized as recreational facilities.
#8. The Mixed Uses and Nodal Development Area designation descriptions found
in the "Land Use Designations section of the Metro Plan do not contain
prohibitions that would affect the proposed SDC amendment
n
#9. The Nodal Development Area description (page TI-G-8) places an emphasis on a
mixed-use pedestrian-friendly land use pattem that includes a diverse mix of
compatible uses. In the list of "Fundamental characteristics of nodal
development," the 'focus in on pedestrian-friendly, transit supportive design.

# 1 O. If approved, the pedestrian-oriented, transit supportive design standards that
apply to development within the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zone, will apply to
all bowling alleys built in the zone.
#11. TransPIan is a functional plan of the Metro Plan that provides more detailed
planning policy statement as it applies to transportation planning. As
mentioned above Nodal Development Area is a Metro Plan designation.
TransPlan further describes the intent of nodal development and contains
policies governing nodal development.
#12. "The Land Use Policies" section of TransPlan (Chapter 2, Pages 13-18) lists
the policies in TransPlan that are intended to implement Nodal Development.
None of the five policies listed include direct or indirect provisions that would
preclude bowling alleys from being allowed uses within nodal development
areas.
Conclusion
The findings show that the proposed addition of "Bowling Alleys" to the list of permitted
recreational uses found in SDC Section 3.2-610, is consistent with co=ercial uses as
described in the Metro Plan. The other Metro Plan designations that are implemented by
the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zoning district, Mixed- uses and Nodal Development Area,
support intending a diverse mix of compatible uses with a focus on pedestrian-oriented,
transit supportive development design. No prohibitions against recreational uses or
bowling alleys are found in these designations. ' ,
Based on the findings showp. above, staff concludes the proposed amendment to SDC
Section 3.2-610 is consistent with the applicable portions of the Metro Plan.
Criterion #2 "Conformance with Applicable, State Statutes"
Finding
#13. A text search of the Oregon Revised Statutes yielded one planning-related
reference to bowling alleys; 197.432 (IO)(b)(B) states that bowling alleys are
not allowed within a "speedway theme parks." "Recreational uses" are
mentioned in ORS 197.432 for the siting of speedways and in 197.435 for the
siting of destination resorts.
Conclusion
The oregon Revised Statutes appear to be silent on the specifics of adding bowling alleys
or recreational uses to mixed-use or co=ercial zoning. For lack of a prohibition against
it, bowling alleys and recreational uses are presumed to be allowable land uses.

Based on the findings included above, the proposed amendment to SDC Section'3.2-610
does not conflict with any applicable state statutes. It is the conclu;;ion of staff that the
proposed amendments comply with this criterion.
Criterion #3 "Applicable State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules"
Compliance with Oregon Administrative Rules
Findings
#14. A text search of the applicable Oregon Administrative RuIes shows that
bowling alleys are only mentioned in the coo,text of an Oregon DEQ
exemption of bowling alleys from noise regulations (OAR 340-035-0035.
. (5)(t)). .
#15. Mixed Use Co=ercial zoning is an important to implementation of nodal
development, Springfield's adopt~d strategy for reducing the average vehicle
miles traveled each day by residents. Any change to the Springfield
Development Code that significantly degrades the intended function of nodes
wouId not be consistent with OAR 660-12-0660(6)(b).
. #16. The International Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual
estimates that bowling alleys generate about 85 trips during the PM peak hour
between 4pm-6pm on adjacent streets. By comparison, trip generation for an
athletic club wouId be 184 trips and a sit down restaurant is estimated to be
414 trips during the same PM peak hours. Both sit down restaurants and
athletic clubs are allowed in the Mixed-Use Commercial zone. It wouId appear
that bowling alleys wouId have an impact on trip generation that is out of
character with other allowed nodal uses.
, Compliance with Statewide Planning Goals .
Goal] - Citizen Involvement. Goal 1 calls for "the opportunity for citizens to be.
involved in an phases of the planning process. n
#17. The proposed amendments to SDC Section :3 .2-6 I 0 the subject oflegisIative
public hearings advertised in the Eugene Register Guard on Thursday, August
7,2008. The Planning Commission scheduIed a public hearing for September
2,2008.' The City Council is scheduIed to hold Ii public hearing on September
15,2008.
Goal 2 - Land Use Planning. Goal 2 outlines the basic procedures of Oregon's
. stateWide planning program. It says that land use decisions are to be made in
accordance with a comprehensive plan, and that suitable "implementation ordinances"
to put the plan's policies into effect must be adopted. .

Various adopted refinement plans and specific area plans provide more
detailed direction for planning under the umbrella of the Metro Plan.
#19.
The SDC implements the policies and direction of the Metro Plan. The
p,vpvsed amendments to SDC Section 3.2-610 will modify the list of
permitted recreational uses allowed within the Mixed-Use Co=ercial zoning
diStrict
#20. The proposed change to SDC Section 3.2-610 is consistent with the Metro Plan
and the nodal development provisions of TransPlan (See findings #4-#10)
Goal 3 - Agricultural Land. Goal 3 defines "agricultural lands." It then requires
counties to inventory such lands and to "preserve and maintain" them through farm
zonmg.
#21. ,lbis goal does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth
boundaries. The City of Springfield does not have any agricultural zoning
districts. These amendments do not apply outside the urban growth boundary
and, because of limitations on co=ercial and industrial development without
full urban services, generalIy do not apply outside the city limitS. All land in
the City's urban transition area carries CitY zoning. An exception to this goal
, was taken in 1982 when the comprehensive plan was acknowledged.
Goal 4 ~ Forest Land. 1bis goal defines forest lands and requires counties to
inventory them and adopt.policies and ordinances that will "conserve forest lands for
, forest uses."
#22. lbis goal does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth
boundaries. The City of Springfield does not have any foreSt zoning districts.
These amendments do not apply outside the urban growth boundary and,
because of limitations on co=ercial and industrial development without full
urban services, generalIy do not apply outside the city limits. All land in the
City's urban transition area carries City zOliing. An exception to this goal was
taken in 1982 when the comprehensive plan was acknowledged.
Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources. GoalS
covers more than a dozen natural and cultural resources such as wildlife habitats and
wetlands. It establishes a process for each resource to be inventoried and evaluated.
#23.
The amendment to SDC Section 3.2-610 does not repeal, replace or void
existing Metro Plan policy or Development Code regulations with respect to
any identified natural resources. No changes to supporting ordinances or
policy documents adopted to comply with Goal 5 are affected by these
amendments.

Goal? -Areas Subject to Natural Disasiers and Hazards. Goal 7 deals with
development in places subject to natural haZards such as floods or landslides. It
requires that jurisdictions apply "appropriate safeguards" (floodplain zoning, for
example) when planning for development there.
#25. All sites within Springfield that are subject to these hazards (floodplain,
erosion, landslides, earthquakes, weak: foundation soils) are inventoried
through a variety of sources. The proposed amendment does not remove or
exempt compliance with other Code standards that may apply to development.
Goal 8 -Recreational Needs. lbis goat calls for each community to evaluate its
areas and facilities for recreation and develop plans to deal with the projected demand
for them.

Goal 9:.. Economic Development Goal 9 calls for diversification ancl improvement
of the economy. It asks communities to inventory commercial and industrial lands,
project future needs forsuch lands, and plan and zone enough land to meet those
needs. '
#27. The amendment to SDC Section 3.2-610 does not repeal, replace or void
