MEMORANDUM City of Springfield DATE: March 5, 2010 TO: Steve Hopkins, Planner II FROM: Jon Driscoll, Transportation Engineer in Training SUBJECT: ZON2010-00003 Brownsfields Land & Development Zoning Map Amendm~nt-Public Works Transportation Comments The Transportation Division has reviewed the subject aptflication for the possible zoning map amendment of the four tax lots located at 945 N 28 Street from currently zoned LMI to HI (Heavy Industrial). The total acreage between the lots is 110642 sq. ft. (2.54 acres). The subject property is vacant and currently not in use. >- Based on ITE Land Use Code 110 (General Light Industrial) the total trip generation from this development upon completion of the proposed development would be as follows: . Average Weekday = 51.80 trips/acre x 2.54 acres = 132 trips >- Based on ITE Land Use Code 120 (General Heavy Industrial) the total trip generation from this development upon completion of the proposed development would be as follows: . Average Weekday = 6.75 trips/acre x 2.54 acres = 18 trips >- As can be seen in this data comparison the ITE Trip Generation manual, if the zoning changed from LMI to HI, the projected change in traffic producible by the site would be a reduction of 114 trips per day. Consequently, from a Transportation trip impact analysis, this map amendment will increase capacity for 28th Street. >- On the other hand, the HI zone change will likely add heavier traffic it 28th Street, but I will let the Engineering Section deal with any compensatory requirements for that aspect of change. As 28th Street is presently part of our designated truck route system, no extra measures will be required Transportation's viewpoint. In SDC 5.22-1 IO.A.2, the code reads, "Where applicable, legislative Zoning Map amendments shall be reviewed to determine whether the application significantly affects a transportation facility, as specified in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-012- 0060. SDC 5.22-1 15.C.3 states, "The property is presently provided with adequate public facilities, services and transportation networks to support the use, or these facilities, Note: As is stated in your Development Issues Application: The Development Issues Meeting is not a land use decision and does not confer any development rights, establish any conditions, or bind the applicant or the City to any course of action. The meeting conveys the status of known development opportunities and constraints. The status may change over time as development conditions or standards change. Date Received: Planner: SH :rllrfD . . services and transportation networks are planned to be provided concurrently with the development of the property." OAR 660-012-0060(1) in part states that "A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility ifit would...(B) Reduce the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan; or (C) Worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan." This project would neither reduce or worsen the performance of2Sth Street below acceptable standards, so Transportation has no objections to this zoning map amendment. Note: As is stated in your Development Issues Application: The Development Issues Meeting is not a land use decision and does not confer any development rights, establish any conditions, or bind the applicant or the City to any course of action. The meeting conveys the status of known development opportunities and constraints. The status may change over time as development conditions or standards change. --z.... _ I / _ _I )0..
