The City Council is authorized by Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 222 and Springfield Development Code (SDC) Section 5.7.100 to act on annexation requests. In accordance with SDC 5.7.155 and ORS 222.040, 222.180 and 222.465, if approved the annexation will become effective on the day following the general election, November 4, 2025, or upon acknowledgment by the State, whichever date is later.
The territory requested for annexation is a group of 32 tax lots between Franklin Boulevard and the Willamette River. The properties are zoned and designated for Glenwood Residential Mixed-Use and Glenwood Commercial Mixed-Use with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay (UF-10), and are located inside the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The UF-10 overlay will no longer apply upon annexation.
As outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit D), the annexation area can be served with the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as required in the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan – Urbanization Element. The staff report also confirms the request meets the criteria of approval for annexations established in SDC 5.7.140.
Recommendation: The subject properties comply with the standards and provisions of the SDC and applicable ORS for annexation; Council is requested to conduct the first reading and public hearing of the ordinance annexing this property to the City and withdrawing from the Glenwood Water District and the Willakenzie-Springfield Rural Fire Protection District. |
