Proiect Overview
The Park Lane Mobile Home Park is currently a combination mobile home and
recreational vehicle (rv) park located at 41st Street and A Street in Springfield, Oregon.
There are currently 46 mobile home spaces, one stick built residence, and 36 rv spaces
located on approximately 3.7 acres. The park has been in perpetual operation since it .
was constructed more than 15 years ago.
The park has transferred ownership' many times in the past 15 years, and the applicant
currently has a contract to purchase the park. As part of the purchase, the applicant is in
the process of securing Housing and Urban Development (HUD) money to complete a
remodel to a section of the park. The main emphasis of the remodel is the replace all of
the existing rv spaces and the existing stick built residence with 20 new mobile home
spaces.
This work will include installing a new paved road to serve these spaces, new sanitary
sewer service, and new private utilities (SUB and Comcast). The work will also include
making some safety improvements to the park to allow better emergency vehicle access
and to meet current codes for hydrant spacing. The plan also includes adding some
interior parking spaces to keep cars from parking on the interior roadways, lighting, and
some additional landscape. The storm drainage system will also be improved, with a
bio-swale being installed along the new road to improve water quality of the discharge
from the mobile home park.
A small playground area is also proposed within the park to allow the residents a safe
place for the children to play and the parents to gather with their neighbors.
The current configuration of the park is that the temporary rv spaces aie at the main
entrance to the park. By replacing the temporary rv parking spaces with mobile home
spaces, there will be more pride of ownership within the park, and will be a cleaned up
appearance. This will be a benefit to the existing park residents as well as the
.

neighborhood in general. The curb appeal will be dramatically changed by the proposal to install
a new fence around the perimeter of the park. The other major curb appeal item is that the owner
will be replacing the existing overhead electrical services in the rv area with underground service
to the new mobile home spaces.
We feel the proposed improvements will be a big improvement to the neighborhood and
Springfield in general. This type of project fits perfectly into the Springfield Development Code
(SDC) criteria for an expansion to a non conforming use in residential zones. Below is a speCific
discussion relating to each item listed in SDC 5.8-145.
Expansion / Modification shall not lessen the residential character
The existing development surrounding the site is multi family and commercial development.
There is a large townhouse development on the west side of 41 51 Street that runs the length of the
project and is zoned medium density residential. To the north is vacant land across Commercial
Street that is zoned light medium industrial. To the east and south is land (some currently
developed, some vacant) that is zoned community commercial.
The replacement of the temporary rv spaces with mobile home spaces will improve the
residential character of the neighborhood.
Building Scale. Placement. and Facade
The proposed change to the park will facilitate the installation of single level mobile home units.
This is consistent for residential development, and will not be out of character with the
neighborhood. The placement will also be in a manner to orient the units to the interior of the
park with a new perimeter fence around the property. .
On-site Parking Placement
The current park configuration has no specified on site parking, except one space for each unit.
Therefore, any additional vehicles or visitors have no other place to park than adjacent to the
units. This causes a congested roadway, which results in poor access for emergency vehicles and
safety issues with pedestrians and bicycles.
The proposed remodel includes installing 18 parking spaces spread throughout the park. This
will greatly improve the parking within the park and alleviate some ofthe current problem. We
have also widened the connection to the north portion of the park to 20 feet for emergency
vehicle access, and added a small playground to provide children a safe place to play.
Impact of Vehicle Trips to the Site on Adiacent Streets

It
The plan is to reduce the number of dwelling units from 36 rv spaces, to 20 mobile home spaces.
The average daily trips from a single dwelling is approximately 10. Therefore, the adjacent
streets should have less impact as the number of daily trips may be reduced by approximately
160 trips per day.
Buffering and the Potential Loss ofPrivacv for Abutting Residential Uses
The only abutting residential uses are the townhouses on the west side of 41 st Street. They
currently have a view of the temporary TV parking spaces with no screening or fencing. This
proposal includes orienting the new mobile home units to the interior of the park, and installing a
new perimeter fence.
This will create a buffer and partial screen for the existing townhomes that does not currently
exist.
On Site Lighting
There are currently a few lights in the park scattered that are not providing adequate lighting for
safety and security.' The proposal is to install 6 new private lights that will provide better
visibility at night. The lights are shielded and placed so they will not shed light on any of the
abutting properties.
This will provide better security in the park and help reduce some of the current problems within
the park.
SummarY
The proposed improvements to this park will be a major upgrade to the current facility. This will
help fulfill Springfield's goal of beautifying existing run down areas and provide a safer and
more livable environment for the residents.
We feel that the proposed modification meets all of the code requirements and should be
approved by the City of Springfield.
Approval from the City of Springfield is necessary to finalize the HUD funding for these
improvements, which are intended to be installed in Fall, 2008.
