Climate-Friendly Areas
Oregon’s Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities Rules requires some cities, including Springfield, to reduce air pollution by allowing places that enable people to get around by ways other than driving alone. This Climate-Friendly Areas project is one way Springfield is working to meet these needs.
Development Code Minor Amendments
The City of Springfield seeks approval of amendments to the Springfield Development Code to make minor changes to correct errors and provide clarification.
Floodplain PICM Code Amendments
These amendments will include changes prompted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requiring the City to adopt short-term rules, aka Pre-Implementation Compliance Measures or PICM, in the Floodplain Overlay District to comply with the Endangered Species Act. The code amendments are directed by FEMA to protect habitat and achieve no net loss measures that will avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts in the floodplain areas.
Housing Opportunities in Non-Residential Areas
These amendments will include changes prompted by recent state legislation and will clarify existing code language related to income-qualified housing per recent changes to ORS 197.308.
Parking Regulation under Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities

Springfield Development Code Amendments: Annexations
These amendments will explore how to make the code more consistent with state law, including whether to continue to allow or expand instances when annexations would not require a public hearing. Changes will also clarify existing code to provide a straightforward initiation and review path for annexations.
