Approval of this Ordinance adopting an amendment to LC Chapter 10 will ensure consistency with the updated land use regulations guiding development in the Springfield urbanizable area. Notice and Referral Notice of this proposed amendment was mailed to DLCD on October 7, 2008 by city of Springfield and on June 29, 2009 by Lane County. A legal ad was published twenty days prior to the hearing in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation, on August 29, 2009. The Board held a first reading on the Ordinance on August 26, 2009, and held a public hearing on September 16, 2009. e Springfield conducted a public review process including two public hearings prior to the city adopting these amendments that include establishing a clearly defined Master Plan review process, addressing updated fire code regulations for the Drinking Water Protection Overlay district, and addressing development standards for the Glenwood Riverfront Plan District Master Plan, which has been co-adopted by the Board as a refinement plan to the Metro Plan, C. Board Goals Adoption of this ordinance after conducting a public hearing supports the following Lane County Strategic Goals adopted by the Board: . Provide opportunities for citizen participation in decision making, voting, volunteerism 'and civic and community involvement. . Contribute to appropriate community development in the areas of transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, housing, growth management and land _ development. ., D. Financial andlor Resource Considerations No direct financial or resource considerations apply to co adoption of the amendments to the Springfield development code by Lane County. Co-adoption of a consistent development code for the entire Springfield urbanizable area does eliminate duplication and greatly enhances the efficiency of development permit processing, leading to higher levels of customer satisfaction and more efficient provision of government services. E. Analysis The proposed amendments include updates for a clearly defined Master Plan Review Process in Glenwood, updated fire code regulations for application within the Drinking Water Protection Overlay District and scrivener's error corrections. .-\""'.- ....,' , . "'.: ...Ordinance No.~ ~ ,. -09 . ..._1._..,...... Hearing:':?epiember 3:,2009 :~, . J__ ~.~.1":> i The Master Plan review process is amended to now include separate and specific Preliminary and Final Master Plan application review processes (Section 5.13-100). A Preliminary Type II, rather than a Type III review procedure is established for smaller development proposals or those proposals which limit impacts on adjacent property and infrastructure. The applicant is now required to schedule a Pre- Submittal Meeting for Master Plan developments prior to formal application submittal, as already required for Site Plan and Land Division applications. Date Received: q, I ~-M Planner. (qf(, Springfield Development Code Update e Page 2 'J e e e .' . . Applications for development are now required to host a neighborhood meeting to inform the neighbors of the proposal prior to formal application submittal. The Master Plan Modification process is redefined. The Drinking Water Protection Overlay District regulations addressing the Springfield Fire Code regulations are updated (Section 3.3-200). Scrivener's errors that resulted from the SDC reformatting project adopted by Council and the Board in 2007 are corrected (various sections). Criteria: Lane Code 10.315-20 Zonings, rezoning's, and changes in the requirements of this chapter shall be enacted to achieve the general pUlpose of this chapter and shall not be contrary to the public interest. In addition, zonings and rezoning's shall be consistent with the specific purposes of the District classification proposed, applicable Comprffhensive Plan elements and components, and Statewide Planning Goals... Board co-adoption of this amendment will change the requirements of Chapter 10 and achieve the general purpose of this chapter for regulation of the urbanizable area between city limits and the urban growth boundary of Springfield. The applicable Comprehensive Plan for the SDC Amendments is the Metro Plan. Having consistent development regulations applicable to the urbanizable areas of Springfield provides consistent and clear development guidelines for property owners as land uses transition from rural to urban uses in the Metro Home City of Springfield. Lane Code 10.600-10 adopts these implementing regulations for application by Springfield on urbanizable lands, which is consistent with the Metro Plan and is not contrary to the public interest. Ordinance Exhibit 'B' includes findings of compliance with applicable statewide planning goals and the Metro Plan. IV. A. ACTION: Alternatives/Options . Option 1. Approve the Ordinance as presented. . Option 2. Revise the Ordinance as directed by the Board and return for a third reading and approval of the revised Order on a date certain set by the Board. . Option 3. Do not approve the Ordinance and deny the application. Direct staff to write and Order and findings to support the denial and return on a date certain for a third reading and action. B. Recommendation Staff recommends Option 1. Under Ordinance No: 16-86, Order No, 85-3-13-1, Article IV, Section 3. the legislative land:use authority. for the urbanizable portion of the Springfield UGB is exercised by the -....."".. w','.'_. J.. ,:: ... .. ""'_ .';..'<' J. ' . 'r'~ Springfield Planning Commission. Therefore, the City has submitted this application directlY-to the Board lbf 'Cbfiimissioners for co-adoption, with a positive recommendation from the Springfield Planning Commission and the Springfield City Council. Ordinance No. _-09 Hearing: September 3, 2009 Springfield Development Code Update Date Received:.-3-J t,-D'f Planner: ~ ,e-. Page 3 . . '< C. Timing/Implementation . Application of the amended SDC in the urbanizable area of Springfield is dependent on adoption by the Board. If not adopted, these amendments to the development code would not apply in the urbanizable area. Where the former SDC would remain in effect, having two different codes could be confusing and inefficient. There are no policy changes in this amendment, implementation will commence upon adoption. V. FOllOW-UP: Notice of Board action will be provided to the city of Springfield, DlCD, and all interested parties notified throughout the project. Adoption of the SDC Amendment (Option 1) will provide consistency of development regulations for properties on the land that lies outside the Springfield City Limits and within the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary, under County/City Metro Plan coordination agreements. Should the Board choose Option 2 or Option 3, an Order with findings setting forth the Board's amendments for adoption, or reasons for denial would be prepared and returned to the Board for a third reading and adoption on a date certain set after the hearing. .
