WRITTEN NARRATIVE:
I. LAND USE REQUEST
Simply put, this is an application request for a Planning Director determination that the proposed
use does not represent a "change of use" as that term is defined in the Springfield Development
Code (SDC) and that, therefore, the application does not need a Minimum Development
Standards (MDS) application approval to engage in the proposed use on the subject property.
Date Received:
JUL 26 2010
Original Submittal
.
.
The applicant also requests that, pursuant to SDC 5.15-115.A, the Planning Director exercise his
discretion to review this application under the Type II review process. The purpose of this
request is to ensure certainty to the applicant, through a forn1alland use decision, that it will be
permitted to use the property as proposed and as needed to operate its business.
In Recovery House VI v. City of Eugene, 150 Or App 382, 387-88, 946 P2d342 (1997), the Court
of Appeals held that an applicant was entitled to request, as part of a land use application,
whether that application was even necessary and was entitled to a determination by the local
government to that question, even if the City ultimately approved the application.
The MDS application is applicable when there is a proposed expansion in building gross floor
area and/or impervious surface area or a change in use of a building or property. SDC 5.15-
110.A. The applicant is not requesting any changes to the existing development on the site.
Furthermore, the applicant believes that the proposal does not represent a change of use from the
former Reed's Fuel & Trucking operation. Consequently, an MDS application is not needed in
this instance. Under Recovery House VI, the MDS application is the process by which the City
can make a determination that an MDS application is not needed.
SDC 6.1-1 lO defines "change of use" as: "A change from one existing permitted to another
pern1itted use in the applicable zoning district." The express language of this provision identifies
changes in uses permitted "in the applicable zoning district" as representing a change of use.
Each zoning district has a schedule ofpern1itted uses; in this case the Schedule of Light Medium
Industrial, Heavy Industrial and Special Heavy Industrial Use Categories listed at SDC 3.2-140.
The schedule at SDC 3.2-140 identifies 82 separate uses under 8 different use categories.
Given the text of SDC 6.1-110 and the context of the schedules, a "change of use" occurs when
an applicant proposes a use for a property or building that represents a change from one listed use
to a different listed use. If an applicant proposes a use for a property or building that is identified
by the same use description in the table, the applicant does not propose a "change of use. "
Here, the applicant seeks to continue the same permitted "automotive and heavy equipment
repair and service including the recapping and retreating of tires" use that the Reed's Fuel &
Trucking operation had on the property previously.
As the aerial photograph from the 2008 Lane County MetroPlan area aerial survey shows
(Exhibit A), the property included the same office/terminal building, large vehicle shop, wash
area and outdoor fueling station during the Reed's Fuel & Trucking operation as currently exist
on the property. See Exhibit B, Site Photographs. Exhibit A also shows a large number of
vehicles of different types in the graveled repair yard/parking area. Reed's Fuel & Trucking
utilized a range of vehicle types to include: 5,6, and 7 axle tractor/semi combination chip trucks;
front end loaders; 8 axle dump truck combinations; 40- foot semi flatbed trucks; 40/20- foot maxi
combinations; lowboys; and curtain vans. The structures and uses shown on Exhibit A
demonstrate that the Reed's Fuel & Trucking operation was a permitted "automotive and heavy
equipment repair and service" use in the Light Medium Industrial Zone.
The applicant here seeks to use the same buildings for the same purposes. The office/terminal

.
building will be used to conduct and coordinate the BJ Equipment operations. The large vehicle
shop will be used for service and repair of vehicles and heavy equipment. The fueling and wash
areas will be used for those same purposes. The nature of the BJ Equipment use will remain the
same as well- the repair and servicing ofa range of wheeled and tracked heavy equipment.
While types of trucks and heavy equipment serviced may differ slightly with the BJ Equipment
use, the on-site and off-site impacts of the proposed BJ Equipment use are identical to those from
the Reed's Fuel & Trucking use. That use is consistent with the "automotive and heavy
equipment repair and service" use listed in the SDC 3.2-410 use schedule.
Consequently, the Planning Director should conclude that the proposed BJ Equipment use of the
subject property does not represent a change of use from the former Reed's Fuel & Trucking
operation and that the applicant is not required to obtain a Minimum Development Standards
approval before beginning operations on the property.
II. SITE CONTEXT
Because a range of detail about the site and adjacent property are discussed below in the response
to the checklist items, this section provides a more general description of the site context.
The subj ect property is a triangular-shaped parcel fronting Commercial Avenue at the
intersections with 40th and 41 st Streets. See Exhibit A. The property is generally broken down
into two areas. The northwest corner has a two-story office/terminal building with a paved
driveway, landscaping and lawn. The eastern portion of the property is entirely graveled and
contains a range of structures to include: a large shop building; an above-ground fuel tank;
several sized storage buildings; and a vehicle wash area. See Exhibits A, B. The service and
repair area has no trees or other significant natural vegetation.
The property is planned and zoned Light Medium Industrial. See Exhibits C and D.
Surrounding properties are a mix of industrial, commercial and residential zoning districts and
include a range of uses, from mini-storage facilities, to multifamily housing and a church. See
Exhibit B.
III. APPLICATION WRITTEN EXPLANATION CHECKLIST ITEMS
The checklist items are presented in bold italics below, with the applicant's responses following
in plain text.
Project Name.

.
.
8.27 acres in size.
Zoning and plan designation of the site and adjacent properties.
The property has a Light Medium Industrial MetroPlan designation and a Light Medium
Industrial zoning district. See Exhibit C, Excerpt of Metro Plan Diagram, and Exhibit D, Excerpt
of Zoning Map.
The smaller-lot properties to the immediate north are planned and zoned Heavy Industrial and are
in industrial use. Properties to the immediate east are planned Commercial and zoned
Community Commercial. That property is currently in mini-storage use with corrugated
buildings similar to the shop building on the subject property. To the southwest, properties are
planned and zoned Medium Density Residential. Directly across Commercial Avenue is a vacant
field and then a multi-family development. North of the vacant field is the East Side Baptist
Church. And on the northwest comer of the property are properties planned Light Medium
Industrial and Medium Density Residential, and zoned a mixture of Light Medium Industrial,
Medium Density Residential and Low Density Residential.
Proposed use of the development area and scope of proposed development.
BJ Equipment Company LLC proposes to use the subject property to service and repair its fleet
of tmcks and heavy equipment to include semi tmcks, dump trucks, and other wheeled and track
heavy equipment that are used in off-site constmction, drilling and blasting operations.
No new development is proposed for the property. The applicant seeks to continue the historic
automotive and heavy equipment repair and service use of the property established by Reed's
Fuel & Tmcking. The applicant will use the same buildings and other stmctures on the property
in the same manner they were previously used. The applicant will not be expanding any building
or adding any impervious surfaces to the property.
Access
The subject property has multiple access points onto Commercial Avenue, which connects to
42nd Street and to 30th Street at its ends. The office building has a separate access point onto
Commercial Avenue than the one for the repair and service facilities.
Proposed off-site improvements.
The applicant is not proposing any off-site improvements with the resumption of the permitted
use.
Current use of the site and any existing improvements.
The property is currently not in use. All on-site business activities were terminated at the end of
August 2009. The most recent use on the property was the Reed's Fuel & Trucking operation
discussed above.

Existing improvements include: an approximately 5,600 square-foot office/terminal building
located on the northwestern portion of the property; an approximately 9,600 square-foot vehicle
shop building located near the southern end of the property; a 1,600 square-foot storage building
and a 700 square-foot shed located along the eastern property line to the northeast of the vehicle
shop building; a l5,000-gallon above ground diesel fuel tank, inside a containment vault, located
approximately 75 feet to the east of the northeast comer of the vehicle shop building; a truck
washing station on the center of the property; a drain field for the truck washing station and two
shallow troughs to collect wash water and storm water runoff that directs water to two-stage
sediment-trap catch basins located approximately 80 feet on either side of the entrance to the
truck repair and service facility.
Several above-ground and below-ground fuel tanks that were previously located on the property
have been removed in the years between 1989 and 2009.
Special site features (i.e. wetlallds, watercourses, steep slopes, etc.)' a gelleral statemellt
assessillg soil type alld draillage cOllditiolls.
The subject property is generally flat with no wetlands or steep slopes. There are no natural
watercourses on the property. As discussed above, there are two shallow troughs that collect
wash and stormwater runoff from the property. A stormwater drainage way runs along
Commercial Avenue between the property and that road. See Exhibit B, Site Photos.
The soils consist of Oxley-Urban Land Complex (95%) and Coburg-Urban Land Complex (5%),
which are beneath packed gravel overlay on the portions of the property that have been subject to
heavy'equipment service and repair use. The soils were formed from gravelly alluvium and
contain gravelly-clay loams to a depth of approximately 3.5 feet, and then gravelly sandy loam to
5-foot depth or more. These soils typically have permeabilities that are classified as slow, and
are poorly drained. The on-site soils are underlain by Older Alluvium from approximately 6-6.5
foot depth to more than 300-foot depth.
The groundwater table typically ranges between six and ten feet below the surface in the area
around the subject property. The Oxley soils can also support perched water tables, in the range
of 0.5 - 1.5 feet below ground surface from November through May of each year.
The regional hydrological gradient (direction of groundwater flow) ranges from west northwest
to northwest in the area of the subject property.
Estimated qualltities alld type of materials illvolved if allY fill or excavatioll is proposed.
No fill or excavation is proposed. The applicant intends to use the property for the same uses it
has been put to in recent years and does not propose any physical development on the property.
Number, type, alld size of allY trees to be removed.
The applicant does not propose to remove any trees.

Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City.
The applicant does not propose dedicating any land to the City.
Proposed modifications being requested.
The applicant does not propose any modifications to the subject property.
Additional planning applications required for proposed project.
No additional planning applications will be required for the proposed use.
Justification for proposed MDS exceptions.
The applicant is not proposing any MDS exceptions.
Time line extensions being requested.
The applicant is not requesting a time line extension.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons provided above and based on the evidence submitted into the record, the
Planning Director should conclude that the proposed BJ Equipment use of the subject property
does not represent a "change of use" from the former Reed's Fuel & Trucking operation, that the
proposal does not request an addition or expansion of building gross floor area and or impervious
surface and, therefore, that the applicant is not required to obtain a Minimum Development
Standards approval before beginning operations on the property.
