Updated Schedule for Springfield 2030 Refinement Plan, Land Studies and UGB

On June 20, 2011 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6268 during a Joint Meeting with Lane County which approved 1) the Springfield Residential Land and Housing Needs Analysis, a Residential Land "inventory", analysis, and determination" required by ORS 197.296(3).; and 2) the establishment of a separate Urban Growth Boundary for Springfield.

Next year the City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners will conduct Public Hearings on 1) the Springfield Commercial and Industrial Buildable Lands Inventory and Economic Opportunities Analysis (CIBL); 2) consideration of an expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary to add employment land; and 3) adoption of a parcel-specific refinement plan diagram, plan policies, zoning and land development measures required to implement the new boundary.

These studies constitute inventories and factual information under Statewide Planning goal 2.
