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.

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.

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:

directlY-to the Board lbf 'Cbfiimissioners for co-adoption, with a positive recommendation

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. .
