Staff has bundled the Master Plan review process, Drinking Water Protection
Overlay District and the Scrivener's error amendments into a single Ordinance.
Attachment 1: Ordinance
The intent of the prpposed amendments is to:
1. Establish a clearly defined Master Plan review process (Section 5.13-100) by:
. Establishing specific Preliminary and Final Master Plan application review
processes;
.. Requiring a Preliminary Type II, rather than a Type III review procedure for
smaller development proposals or those proposals which limit impacts on
adjacent property and infrastructure;
. Requiring the applicant to host a neighborhood meeting to inform the
neighbors of the proposal prior to formal application submittal;
~... '2 h ocr ~ssuring application completeness by requiring a Pre-Submittal Meeting
. ~rior to formal application submittal, as already required for Site Plan and
Received, land division applications; and
Date f' GK . Redefining the categories of the Master Plan Modification process.
Planne . 2. Address updated Springfield Fire Code regulations in the DWP Overlay District
(Section 3.3-200).
3. Eliminate Scrivener's errors that resulted as part of the SDC refonmat project
adopted by the Council in 2007 (various Sections).
The Planning Commission held a work session on the proposed amendments on
September 19, 2008, and a public hearing on October 7, 2008, which was held over
until December 2, 2008. At that meeting, the Planning Commission voted 6-0, with
one abstention to recommend that the City Council approve the amending
Ordinance. There was pUblic testimony regarding the Master Plan review process.
The proposed Master Plan text includes staffs responses to comments raised by
private sector planners who submitted oral and written comments and the Planning
Commission's comments. There was no public testimony regarding the proposed
DWP Overlay District or Scrivener's errors amendments.
The City Council held a work session on the proposed amendments on January 26,
2009 and a public hearing (first reading) on February 17, 2009. No one testified for
or against the proposed amendments. The typo on page 5 of the Ordinance has
