METRO PLAN AMENDMENT & MID SPRINGFIELD REFINEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT J.P. HAMMER 42ND STREET INDUSTRIAL PARK Owner: OAKW A Y GOLF lNC. PO Box 2266 Eugene, OR 97402 Tel: 541 683-1166 Applicant: Olson & Morris 1410 Oak Street Suite 200 Eugene, OR 97401 Tel: 541-302-9790 Assessor's Map: 17-02-32-22 Tax Lots 1400, 1500, 100 and 200 17-02-30-44 Tax Lots 500, 600, 800 Metro Plan Designation: Heavy Industrial Refinement Plan Designation: Heavy Industrial Existing Zoning: ill (Heavy Industrial) Proposed Zoning: CC (Community Commercial). SITE INFORMATION This property is part of the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park and Morrow Phit. J.P.. Hammer Industrial Park is located on the west side of 42nd Street between the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks and Olympic Street. The industrial park is located south ofI-I05. This Industrial Subdivision was created from a log pond. Before this conversion to Heavy Industrial, this land was essentially unusable. This site is surrounded by Low Density Residential (LDR) on the west and industrial uses to the north, east, and south. There is Community Commercial (CC) zoning along the west side of 42nd Street south of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. All ofthe property south ofthis site is zoned HI. Mt. Hood Beverage Company and Lane Forest Products are both located in this industrial subdivision. 4-21-0tf- .Date Received::n> . Planner: ..:J lof\1~ I . . EXECUTrvES~ARY The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan and is designated Heavy Industrial. In order for the property to be developed as planned, the Metro Plan and the Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan needs to be changed and the zoning subsequently changed to Community Commercial. This request is to amend the Metro Plan and the Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan by changing the designation of the subject properties from Heavy Industrial to Community Commercial. J.P. Hammer Industrial Park is subdivided into 16 lots and a common tract used for water detention. A total of seven (7) separate tax lots are involved in this Metro Plan and Refinement Plan amendment and all of these tax lots are currently zoned Heavy Industrial. The proposed Metro Plan and Refinement Plan affect lots 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 along 420d Street and lots 9 and 10 along 40th Street which would change plan designation and zoning from heavy industrial to commercial (please see attached map). All remaining lots in the subdivision will remain heavy industrial. The Olympic Street corridor is becoming more commercial and having this corridor in close proximity to a big-box commercial site would be beneficial as this corridor continues to develop. Lot 10 of this proposal fills that need for a large commercial site. The rest of the lots involved in the proposal are relatively small considering they are zoned HI and, because of their size, may not warrant the HI zoning designation. Lane Metro Partnership supports this change from Heavy Industrial to Community Commercial. In a letter dated April 6, 2004, Jack Roberts, the Executive Director of Lane Metro Partnership stated that, "...I am convinced that a mixed commercial and industrial use would make this area more attractive, not less so. I also believe that we will be able to attract more and better jobs and development to this area under the proposed plan than under the current zoning. Therefore, I would encourage the City of Springfield to approve the requested rezone." Transportation is a significant issue with this proposal which is why the applicant has already had a Major Traffic Impact Study prepared for this site which was completed in December 2003. This is a very detailed study which discusses existing traffic conditions and projected traffic conditions. The study provides anticipated transportation improvements and suggests mitigation items for this proposal. Throughout this application specific findings are cited from various documents, demonstrating how this proposed amendment is consistent with the general overall policies of the Metro Plan. The findings also demonstrate how this proposal is consistent with present commercial land needs in Springfield. The findings show how there is a surplus of Heavy Industrial land. The following documents were analyzed and used for findings offact: 42"d Street Metro Plan / Refinement Plat! Amendment 2 . . . Hammer Industrial Subdivision Plan Amendments and Zone Change Traffic Impact Study (2003) . Development Services Department 1999-2006 Strategic Plan (1999) . Springfield Commercial Lands Study (2000) . Metro Area Industrial Lands Study (1992) . Mid-Springfield Refinement Plan . Eugene/Springfield Metro Area General Plan . Letter from Jack Roberts, the Executive Director of Lane Metro Partnership APPROVAL CRITERIA Criteria for a Refinement Plan Amendment: Article 7.070(3) ofthe Springfield Development Code requires that the Planning Commission and the City Council shall adopt findings which demonstrate conformance to the following Criteria of Approval; (a) The amendment must be consistent with the relevant statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation aild Development Commission; and (b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. Criteria for a Metro Plan Amendment: Article 8.030 of the Springfield Development Code (SDC) governs th~ amendment process for amending the Mid-Springfield Refmement Plan. The SDC requires an' applicant to demonstrate conformance to (1) The Metro Plan; (2) Applicable State Statutes; and (3) Applicable State-Wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules. FINDINGS . In the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area General Plan, a section regarding Economic Elements states: "In striving toward LCDC's Statewide Economic Goal, "to diversifY and improve the economy of the State, " the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area must take advantage of and encourage the further diversification of this area's economic activities and role as a regional center (III-B-1)." 4Z,d Street Metro Plan / Refinement Plan Amendment 3 . . Comment: By granting this Metro Plan and Refinement Plan Amendment, the city of 'I Springfield will create a mixed commercial and industrial area. This Metro Plan and Refinement Plan Amendment will address commercial needs oftIle City of Springfield and improve the economic possibilities of the area. . In the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area General Plan, a section regarding Economic Elements states: i. "The structure of the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area economy is undergoing a shift away from lumber and wood products manufacturing (and other , heavy industrial activities) and towards a more diverse economic base characterized by growth in light manufacturing activities and nonmanufacturingactivities of trade, commercial and professional services, finance, insurance, and real estate (III-B- i,2). " Comment: This proposal is consistent with the economic element of the refinement plan because it will increase the amonnt of commercial property in Springfield which is in short supply. It will provide land more suited for the shift that is and has been occurring in the local economy. . The Eugene/Springfield Metro Area Refinement Plan identifies general policies of the plan. One such policy states that: ' "increase the amount of undeveloped land zoned for light industrial and commercial uses correlating the effective supply in terms of suitability and availability with the projections of demand. " Comment: This policy calls for an increase in the amount of light industrial or commercial uses as it relates to projected demand. There is an immediate and substantial demand for more commercial property in Springfield as indicated in the February 2000 Springfield Commercial Lands Study (SCLS). Thi~' Metro Plan and Refinement Plan Amendment are consistent with this policy. . The 1992 Metro Area Industrial Lands Study (ILS) fonnda 2,432-2,954 acre surplus of buildable industrial land in the Eugene/Springfield area. Specifically, the study showed that in 1992, there existed 708acres of vacant land in Springfield. The ILS indicates that based on employment estimates, there is no need in the future for Heavy Industrial. Overall, the ILS indicates that the supply of industrial land exceeds the demand. The lLS was completed on a Metro-Wide level. Comment: The ILS indicated that there is an apparent abundance of Industrial Land in the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area. Granted, this information is over 10 years old and was completed on a Metro- Wide level. However, the surplus ..Jas and is still 42',d Street Metro Plan I Refinement Plan Amendment 4 . . significant and there remains an adequate supply to accommodate the industrial needs of the Metro Area. Even though the ILS is somewhat dated, there is nothing that indicates a demand for Heavy Industrial land at this time. . The February 2000 Springfield Commercial Land Study (SCLS) identifies a variety of indicators that reflect the need for commercial property in Springfield. The overall findings of the study indicate that, "...Springfield's long term supply of developable commercial land is limited, in terms of both quality and quantity, to meet the projected demand to the year 2015." Following are some specific excerpts from the SCLS that indicate the need for commercial property: - The historical absorption rate of commercial land indicates that a shortage currently exists to meet the City's future demand. Using a rate of 17 acres per year results in a demand for 255 acres per year. and currently, there are 85 acres of vacant and 12 acres of redevelopable commercial land witHin the city's UGH, a total of97 acres - The City is faced with a difficult situation: There are not enol!gh commercial sites to facilitate quality commercial development, or the future demand for commercial land - There will be a continuing need to provide commercial opportunities to serve the needs of Springfield's residents - There is a lack of readily developable commercial sites to mei~t Springfield's long-term demand for commercial land. particularly larger si~es that facilitate national retail stores Comment: The findings of the SCLS clearly indicate the need for commercial ,I land. This proposed change would increase the amount of commercial sites. This ,. proposal addresses the commercial needs of the City of Springfield and is consistent with the stated economic elements and findings in tfie Metro Plan. APPLICABLE STATE STATUTES State statutes which apply to this request include those statutes requiring compliance to statewide goals. The statute requiring compliance is ORS 197.250. This application can I:, be deemed in compliance by adoption of findings relating how the apJJlication conforms to each of the statewide goals, as outlined in the following section. I; STATEWIDE GOALS 41'd Streel Melro Plan / Rejinemenr Plan Amendment 5 . . This section explains how this Metro Plan and Refinement Plan amendment proposal is in compliance with the statewide goals. GOAL 1 - CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT The City of Springfield has in place a procedure for notifying nearby residents of proposed changes to land use plans. This city process is made in a public hearing. This application is subject to this process. GOAL 2 - LAND USE PLANNING The City of Springfield's land use planning process is spelled out in tlie SDC. Goal2 requires that citizens be given an opportunity to review and comment prior to any changes are made to a land use plan or implementing ordinance. This process is mandated in the SDC and part ofthe process this application is subjected to. GOAL 3 - AGRICULTURAL LANDS This goal does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth .bonndaries. The City of Springfield does not have any agricultural zoning districts. These amendments do " not apply outside the urban growth bonndary and, because of limitations on commercial and industrial development without full urban services, generally do n9t apply outside the city limits. All land in the City's urban transition area carries City zoning. An exception to this goal was taken in 1982 when the comprehensive plan was acknowledged. GOAL 4 - FOREST LAND This goal does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. The City of Springfield does not have any forest zoning districts. These arAendments do not apply outside the urban growth boundary and, because oflimitations oh commercial and industrial development without full urban services, generally do not aJply outside the city limits. All land in the City's urban transition area carries City zoning.'. An exception to this goal was taken in 1982 when the comprehensive plan was acknowledged. GOAL 5 - OPEN SPACES, SCENIC AND HISTORIC AREAS AND NATURAL RESOURCES The majority of this site used to be an abandoned log pond. All of the natural resource issues were mitigated in the creation of J.P. Hammer Industrial Park. The current layout shows a 3.1 acre common area that has been designated as a pond area, When the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park was being created, the appropriate mitigation heps were addressed. There are no inventoried natural resources on this site, nor I~re there any inventoried historic features or archaeological sites located on the subjkt property. 42"d Street Metro Plan / Refinement Plan Amendment 6 . . GOAL 6 - AIR, WATER AND LAND RESOURCES QUALITY City of Springfield has programs and infrastructure to collect and treat existing/future discharges in conformance with state and federal environmental standards. This property is part ofthese programs and infrastructure. In addition, all water issues have been mitigated. GOAL 7 - AREAS SUBJECT TO NATURAL DISASTERS AND HAZARDS Goal 7 deals with development in places subject to natural hazards such as floods or landslides. It requires that jurisdictions apply "appropriate safeguards" (floodplain zoning, for example) when planning for development there. All sites within Springfield that are subject to these hazards (floodplain, erosion, landslides, earthquakes, weak foundation soils) are inventoried through a variety of sources. This amendment does not remove or exempt compliance with other Code standards that may apply to development. GOAL 8 - RECREATIONAL NEEDS In Springfield, the Willamalane Park and Recreation District manages recreation areas or facilities. This property is located in the city limits and is part of this recreation district. GOAL 9 - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Goal 9 calls for diversification and improvement of the economy. It asks communities to inventory commercial and industrial lands, project future needs for such lands, and plan and zone enough land to meet those needs. This proposal will reduce the amount of Heavy Industrial Land in Springfield. However, the 1992 Industrial Lands Study (ILS) indicates there is a surplus of industrial property. In 2000, the City of Springfield completed a Commercial Lands Study (SCLS). Throughout this document, it indicates a need for new commercial property within the City of Springfield. Following are some examples on how these supporting documents indicate a need for commercial property. . The city has a lack of readily developable commercial lands to meet future demands. The Springfield Commercial Land Study (SCLS) found that 255 acres of commercial land will be needed to meet demand by 2015. This proposal will add about 17 acres to the inventory of commercial lands. Rezoning and redesignation were identified in the SCLS as ways to increase the commercial land supply. 42'''} Street Metro Plan / Refinement Plan Amendment 7 . . . The SCLS found a need for large and small lots to encourage economic diversity. The lots in this proposal offer a variety of sizes, dimensions, and locations to the adjacent streets. . The Industrial Lands Study (ILS) found a 2,432-2,954 acre Metro-Wide surplus of buildable industrial land. Based on projected employment estimates, the ILS found no need for Heavy Industrial land in the future. . There is potential for future businesses at the J.P. Hammer Industrial Park to serve adjacent businesses (i.e. Weyerhaeuser). Presently, no services or conveniences are available in this area. . This property will create more job possibilities by providing more commercial lands in the city for business development. This site previously was a log pond and did not provide any land for jobs. This plan amendment is consistent with Goal 9. This proposal will provide much needed commercial land that can increase businesses and jobs in Springfield. Lane Metro Partnership believes this change will attract more and better jobs to Springfield. This proposal will create an area that is a mixture of commercial and industrial development, increasing economic diversity. GOAL 10 - HOUSING This goal specifies that each city must plan for and accommodate needed housing types, such as multifamily and manufactured housing. This proposal will not impact the housing inventory. The result will not be an increase or decrease in the inventory of available housing. There will be a decrease in the amount of Heavy Industrial land and an increase in the amount of Commercial land. Housing inventory studies exist for the Springfield area, but they are not applicable to this proposed project. GOAL 11 - PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES Goal 11 calls for efficient planning of public services such as sewers, water, law enforcement, and fire protection. This property is located within the city limits and there are a full range of urban facilities and services that are available to the subject property. Much of this area is still undeveloped. The City of Springfield has strict public improvement processes and guidelines that are followed when vacant property is developed. GOAL 12 - TRANSPORTATION 41'd Street Metro Plan I Refinement Plan Amendment 8 . . The goal aims to provide "a safe, convenient and economic transportation system." The TPR requires the following with respect to comprehensive plan amendments as they relate to local, state, and regional transportation system plans ("TSPs"): (1) Amendments to functional plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans, and land use regulations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and level of service of the facility. This shall be accomplished by either: (a) Limiting allowed land uses to be consistent with the planned function, capacity and level of service of the transportation facility; (b) Amending the TSP to provide transportation facilities adequate to support the proposed land uses consistent with the requirements of this division; or (c) Altering land use designations, densities, or design requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through other modes. (2) A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it: (a) Changes the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (b) Changes standards implementing a functional classification system; (c) Allows types or levels of land uses which would result in levels of travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional classification of a transportation facility; or (d) Would reduce the level of service of the facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in the TSP. This plan amendment is consistent with Goal 12 - Transportation. In 2003 the Hammer Property Traffic Impact Study was conducted in accordance with this plan amendment and zone change. The 2003 study found the following: "The development plans for the property have now changed and a plan amendment and zone change is being proposed for a portion of the site amounting to a little less than half of the total acreage. This traffic impact analysis requir~d for the plan amendments and zone changes finds that refinements of the transportation model for the metropolitan area have resulted in reduces traffic growth on 42nd Street. The operational analysis of study area intersections finds that mitigation measures will still be required for the existing development allowed under the current plan designation and zoning. If these same mitigation measures are applied to the study area for the new development plans with the proposed plan amendment and zone changes, there will be no significant impact to the 4'1'J Street Metro Plan / Refinement Plan Amendment 9 . . state or city transportation system. Therefore we conclude that the proposed plan amendments and zone changes should be approved. This conclusion is supported by the "ODOT Development Review Guidelines ", April 2002, section 3.1. 08 under Transportation Planning Rule Review, which states: "If the TSP has insufficient planned improvements, then improvements acceptable to the state and local government may be identified and become part of the land decision. " The 2003 Traffic Impact Study specifically addresses the transportation issues that will be a result of the Metro Plan and Refinement Plan Amendment. The study states the following: The operational analysis shows that the study area intersections will have sufficient capacity to handle the additional traffic generated by the proposed plan amendments and zone changes. This traffic study includes specific sections on site trip generation, site trip distribution, anticipated transportation system improvements and intersection capacity analysis for the current plan and proposed plan. Specific mitigation measures are also presented. A copy of this Traffic Impact Study is included with this submittal. GOAL 13 - ENERGY CONSERVATION Goal 13 declares that "land and uses developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles." Approval of the Inventory is not likely to have a direct impact on efforts to conserve energy. As such this goal is not applicable to evaluation 0 f this proposal. GOAL 14 - URBANIZATION This goal requires cities to estimate future growth and needs for land and then plan and zone enough land to meet those needs. This property has already been transitioned from rural to urban land. It has been transformed from an abandoned log pong into an Industrial Park. This land is urban property and part of the City of Springfield Land Inventory. GOAL IS - WILLAMETTE RIVER GREENWAY Goal 15 sets forth procedures for administering the 300 miles of greenway that protects the Willamette River. That portion of the Willamette River that flows through the Springfield area is an inventoried resource site (site W AlWB). Adoption of the Springfield Inventory of 42"d Street Metro Plan / Refinement Ploll Amendment 10 . . Natural Resource Sites does not change the City's existing standards for development with respect to the Willamette River Greenway. Future protection measures adopted as part of a program of protection for the River may modifY or add to existing development standards described in Article 25- WillametteGreenway Overlay District, of the Springfield Development Code. GOAL 16 - ESTUARINE RESOURCES Not applicable to this application. GOALI7-COASTALSHORELANDS Not applicable to this application. GOAL 18 - BEACHES AND DUNES Not applicable to this application. GOAL 19 - OCEAN RESOURCES Not applicable to this application. CONSISTENCY WITH METRO PLAN This proposal is consistent with the Metro Plan. The Metro Plan's Economic Element finds that an adequate supply of commercial and industrial lands is essential and needs to be available. The Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area must also take advantage of and encourage further diversification of area's economic activities. This Metro Plan Amendment, Mid-Springfield refinement Plan Amendment and zone change will convert lands from Heavy Industrial, a classification with an overabundance of land, to Community Commercial, a classification in need of more land, thus providing more economic diversification and balance. 42"d Street Metro Plan / Refinement Plan Amendment II . .

Tuesday, April 06, 2004 Mark Metzger ./ Planning De anment City of Sn ngfield 255 5th t. Sprin ield, OR 97477 Dear Mr. Metzger: I am writing in regard to the request for rezoning a ponion of the industrial [and at 800 N. 42nd Street to allow commercial development. As you know, the Metro Pannership has been advocating for a survey of both commercial and industrial land in the Eugene- Springfield area because many of us believe there is a significant shonage of each. While we are waiting for such a survey to be completed and for appropriate action to be undenaken to redress the shonfall that I believe it will document, development opponunities to support our depressed local economy should not be neglected. Having shown this land to potential clients as a possibility for development, I am convinced that a mixed commercial and industrial use would make this are more attractive, not less so. I also believe that we will be able to attract more and better jobs and development to this area under the proposed plan than under [he current zoning. Therefore, I would encourage the City of Springfield to approve the requested rezone. Sincerely, Jack Roberts Executive Director V Cc: John Hammer Date Received: 4 - LI-Ot-l Planner. 0t:> 1.10' '..(fl/li!rr.e::~ ~:.~.~- ~':::="....:' ;;:'JSl?J"'e. ::'.iC7.!.11' DO. ecx ~.j2;6 ::-5~":: ~,c-__ Phone: \5.; 1-. c..,~ ~-..:' Fax, :541) 0.86 :!::~~ Web:~i3~me:r-::: ,", -- ~- --,.- I-~'- ~ ~ -- r ,--~.,,'''! 1.L -' - _-: ~[ )1 ::r - ~ ---- -- lLJ U.L~LJ'tJ~~ _ tKmb =1 Cl) ~ """""I 800 Feet \ 1--- - -----....,.r- - ---- \ -...< J' ;. -.~ 'en ~~ t_ i\ 1--> \1Ddustr1aIJAve..\\ . _ T-T--_ ) --'I '- \1 -... r---= 1 I I I I J I ---1 --l. .,..., r- T' JLr '~- JI 1 ' I~ ~ 10- m - ...
