Purpose
The Comprehensive Plan Map Clarification Project will create a property-specific Comprehensive Plan Map for Springfield. This map will add greater certainty to Springfield’s plan designations.
Currently, the Metro Plan and its Diagram, i.e., map, serve as a combined Eugene-Springfield comprehensive plan to guide decisions about how to use land within the region. The Metro Plan Diagram does not meet today’s needs for showing which plan designations, general land use types, apply to each property within the region. The Metro Plan Diagram is a “broad brush,” graphic depiction of projected land uses and major transportation corridors.
Clarifying the location of the plan designations by interpreting the Metro Plan Diagram for each property within Springfield’s urban growth boundary will provide a solid understanding of existing policies and plan documents in a visual way and will streamline the land use research process with better property lookup tools.

April 17, 2023 : Draft 1 of Springfield’s Comprehensive Plan Map is Ready!
Over the second half of 2022, Springfield’s Comprehensive Plan Map Clarification project team performed detailed property research and met numerous times with the project’s advisory groups, the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) and Technical Resource Group (TRG), refining and revising efforts in the process. A summary of those discussions can be found on this page under Project Documents & Resources. In Spring 2023, the project team completed a first draft of Springfield’s Comprehensive Plan Map and shared the draft for community review and sought feedback through an online comment form and in-person open house that was held on May 4.
The map is available as both a PDF map as well as a web-based, interactive map (also linked below). These two map options are similar, but they present information slightly differently with the PDF being a more simplified, illustrative map while the web map shows more detail. Our goal is to make both available to use and easy to access online and at City Hall once the final versions are complete later this year. Finally, the team has prepared an interactive and engaging project storyboard for community members and anyone interested in the project to gain a quick understanding for the need, process, and benefits of this project.
Updated Comprehensive Plan Map: PDF version (static) or Interactive version
June 7, 2022: Springfield Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) appoints members of Project Advisory Committee:
The Springfield Planning Commission, in its role as the Springfield CCI, reviewed and appointed all eight applicants for the Project Advisory Committee at its June 7, 2022 meeting. Meeting materials, including applicant information and a summary of recruitment, are available at: https://springfieldoregonspeaks.org/items/273
March 1, 2022: Springfield Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) Approves Community Engagement Plan and draft Project Advisory Committee (PAC) Bylaws
The Springfield Planning Commission, in its role as the Springfield CCI, reviewed and provided direction on a draft of the Community Engagement Plan during its March 1, 2022 meeting. A presentation accompanied this meeting. Staff modified the Community Engagement Plan based on the CCI’s input. The Project Advisory Committee (PAC) will discuss the draft bylaws at its first meeting and will have the opportunity to propose adjustments to the bylaws in order to tailor them to fit the purpose and needs of the PAC.
Why this Work Matters
- Local Ownership & Decision-Making: Springfield will have its own, adopted Comprehensive Plan Map that shows plan designations within Springfield’s urban growth boundary. This map will become one part of the Land Use Element, a chapter of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan.
- Better Customer Service: The property-specific Comprehensive Plan Map will allow for timely, accurate answers. It will provide the public with property research tools that are convenient, quick to access, and easy to use—ultimately providing confidence in decisions about property. In addition to a PDF map, it will become part of Springfield’s existing property research tool, MapSpring, a web-based interactive map that is free to access from anywhere through the internet. Community members will be able to identify a plan designation for specific properties throughout Springfield by using this tool without immediate reliance on staff for basic answers.
- Large Projects on the Horizon & Requirements: Cities in Oregon are required to plan for future housing needs and determine whether there is enough buildable land to meet needs for projected long-term growth. To do this, Cities must complete a Buildable Lands Inventory, which establishes supply of land available for development, and a Housing Needs Analysis (Housing Capacity Analysis), which establishes housing supply and mix needed to meet current and future demand. House Bill 2003, passed in 2019, requires cities outside the Portland Metro area with a population of greater than 20,000 to update their Housing Needs Analysis (Housing Capacity Analysis) at least every eight years. Springfield’s required adoption date is 2025. Having an accurate Comprehensive Plan Map on which to base the inventory of residential lands to inform the Housing Needs Analysis (Housing Capacity Analysis) is a desirable first step that this project will address.
- Identified Barriers: Research during this project will identify conflicts between a property’s zoning and its Comprehensive Plan designation. Resolving these discrepancies can improve the pace at which housing plans and permits can be approved, thereby increasing housing availability, accessibility, and affordability. Knowing how many properties have plan-zone conflicts will allow staff to understand the magnitude of this barrier to development.
Key Project Outcomes
The project will:
- Interpret the generalized locations of currently adopted plan designations on the Metro Plan Diagram to provide specificity by showing how those designations apply to each property in Springfield. This project is not a visioning project that explores what “will be.” It will not change already-adopted plan designations.
- Create useful information, get the facts right and clarify “what is” to provide Springfield its own, adopted Comprehensive Plan Map that shows plan designations within City’s urban growth boundary.
- Establish an accurate foundation to enable decisions about property that are sound and are based on quality research.
- Clarify what steps the City needs to take to eliminate barriers to development for properties where such barriers are caused by conflicts between how a property is zoned and how it is designated by the Comprehensive Plan.
- Provide a property-specific Comprehensive Plan Map to serve as the basis for a future buildable lands inventory project.
- Position the City to adopt a Housing Needs Analysis (Housing Capacity Analysis) and take measures to improve the accessibility and affordability of housing to meet the community’s needs in compliance with Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 10, Housing.
- Deliver and maintain better and more accessible tools for the public to make property research easier.
- Maintain a “no surprises” approach to confirming plan designations by seeking the knowledge of property owners in the research and interpretation process.
- Ensure that, before finalizing the Comprehensive Plan Map, community members will be able to identify the plan designation for every individual property on the draft map.
- Provide multiple opportunities for Springfield community members and project partners to review draft materials, ask questions, and provide input on the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on the + icon to open or close the answer to a question.
What is a Comprehensive Plan Map, and how is that different from a Zoning Map?
Comprehensive Plan Maps establish “plan designations” for the use of lands in a city or county. When it comes to land use requirements, most people are more familiar with the concept of “zoning.” Zoning and plan designations are closely related, but they are separate tools. Plan designations on a Comprehensive Plan Map are used as a policy and planning tool and tend to be more high-level. They reflect the community’s vision and generally identify the type, location, and intensity of future development.
Zoning, in contrast, is used as an “implementation” tool for realizing the overall vision in the Comprehensive Plan Map. Zoning is typically more detailed. For example, it identifies allowable uses within a specific zone and can specify standards for design and development of properties and buildings. It is subservient to, and should be consistent with, the Comprehensive Plan Map which takes legal precedence for land use decisions and is the visual component of the guiding land use document for each local jurisdiction.
Plan Designation | Zoning District |
---|---|
· Established by the Comprehensive Plan Map · Policy and planning · Reflects community’s long-term vision for future land use · Identifies type, location, intensity of future development · Takes legal precedence for land use decisions · Designates higher-level land use types (e.g., “Commercial”) |
· Established by the Zoning Map and Springfield Development Code · Implementation · Helps realize Comprehensive Plan vision · Identifies allowable uses and prescribes design/development standards · Subservient to and consistent with Comprehensive Plan Map · Classifies uses in a detailed way: (e.g., “Neighborhood Commercial,” “Community Commercial,” “Major Retail,” “General Office” Zoning Districts) |
What does it mean to interpret Metro Plan Designations?
This project will clarify the boundaries of plan designations depicted on the original Metro Plan Diagram, which was adopted in 2004 as an 11” x 17” paper map. The Diagram is a high-level map that conceptually shows general land uses in an area at a metropolitan scale but is generally not property specific. For example, the scale of the adopted Metro Plan Diagram translates to a line that’s approximately 150 feet wide. The City will need to research which designation, or map color, should show up on the map for the properties that fall within this distance. Research tools will include the City’s permit database, previous land use decisions, and more.
What is the geographic scope of the project?
This project will clarify the location of plan designations for properties within Springfield city limits. It will also clarify or verify plan designations between city limits and Springfield’s urban growth boundary (UGB), which designates where Springfield expects to grow over the next 20 years. In some areas, the UGB has recently been expanded (see Ordinance 6361); the properties in this area already have property-specific plan designations, and staff will review the map to make sure they are accurately shown.
How will these changes affect my property?
This project will not change already-adopted plan designations. It is about interpreting the generalized locations of currently adopted plan designations on the Metro Plan Diagram to provide specificity by showing how those designations apply to each property in Springfield.
Before finalizing the Comprehensive Plan Map, every member of the public will be able to identify the plan designation for individual properties on the draft map. With a “no surprises” approach to creating the Comprehensive Plan Map through fact finding, the project team will seek the knowledge of property owners in the research and interpretation process.
This project will enhance the user experience for people seeking information about specific properties in Springfield. New and improved property research tools will be convenient, quick to access, and easy to use, and you will be able to look up basic plan designation information about a property without relying on city staff.
The zoning of my property is inconsistent with its comprehensive plan designation. Will this project resolve these differences?
Research during this project will reveal conflicts between a property’s zoning and its Comprehensive Plan designation. Typically, zoning should be consistent with Plan designations. In some cases, differences do not necessarily mean there is a Plan-Zone conflict. For example, a slight difference in wording such as a “Mixed Use Area 2” Plan designation and a “Mixed Use Residential” zone does not mean there is a Plan-Zone conflict. An example of a true conflict would be a property with a residential designation that has industrial zoning. One outcome of this project will be a list of properties with true Plan-Zone conflicts. However, resolving all of these differences is outside the scope of the project—this will be a next step that could become another planning project.
How is the community going to be involved?
The goal is to engage the community throughout the project. A concerted outreach effort will seek input from: (1) property owners about whether the plan designation for their properties appears correct; and (2) property owners and the broader community about some policy questions and associated options for displaying information on the Comprehensive Plan Map.
There will be multiple opportunities for property owners, the Project Advisory Committee, and Springfield community members to review draft materials, receive other project information, ask questions, and provide input on the project. In addition to hearing from members of the Project Advisory Committee, efforts to have meaningful input from the community will include:
- Project webpage (https://springfield-or.gov/compmap/) that provides project information in one location;
- E-updates, social media posts, and news releases that share periodic updates, build overall awareness of project activities and findings, and announce timely information.
- Factsheet that shares key messages and project information.
- Direct outreach (e.g., mailings) to specific property owners and community-based organizations to provide information, invite participation, and gather feedback;
- One-on-one communications to provide information, gather clarifying information from property owners, answer questions, and invite feedback from community members;
- Community open houses and/or drop-in sessions designed to provide project information, gather feedback, and answer questions from community members (including property-specific inquiries); and
- Public hearings will be informed by input from the public, other stakeholders, and advisory groups, and represent another opportunity for the community to weigh in.
What is the role of the Project Advisory Committee?
The Project Advisory Committee (PAC) provides staff with advice and feedback necessary to create a well-informed, property-specific Comprehensive Plan Map for Springfield by:
- Providing active and respectful representation of unique perspectives.
- Providing input on the project’s assumptions and key decisions about information display on the map, including policy-based questions that emerge, such as whether to:
- Show plan designations for public rights-of-way (e.g., streets)
- Add information about adopted neighborhood refinement plans
- Provide information that is in addition to basic plan designations (e.g. “overlay” areas)
- Reviewing and providing feedback on draft work products for consideration by staff. However, the PAC is not a decision-making body, and no formal vote or unanimous Committee recommendation will be requested.
The PAC provides technical suggestions at key points throughout the project. The PAC is expected to meet 2-5 times (for 1.5 to 2 hours) over the estimated 1.5-year duration of the project. PAC meetings are open to the public for observation.
The PAC represents various topic interests, backgrounds, and perspectives. PAC members are individuals who seek the best solutions for the entire Springfield community regardless of their backgrounds and are encouraged to offer insight based on their diverse experience.
What is the role of the Technical Resource Group?
The Technical Resource Group, comprising partner agency staff (e.g., Lane Council of Governments, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation & Development, City of Eugene, Lane County, etc.), will provide the Project Core Team with opportunities for interagency collaboration and technical support necessary to navigate methodology-related details to help the team reach the primary milestone of the project work — creating the property-specific Comprehensive Plan Map. Support will include advising on the mapping approach, framing of possible issues, providing data and information, and identifying the necessary text and map amendments to the Metro Plan and the Springfield Comprehensive Plan.
What is the decision-making process?
Staff will bring a proposed Comprehensive Plan Map and any related text changes to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan General Plan and Springfield Comprehensive Plan to the appointed and elected officials of the City of Springfield and Lane County as noted below.
Planning Commissions: The Springfield Planning Commission and the Lane County Planning Commissions will review draft materials and provide recommendations on project materials to the City Council and Lane County’s Board of Commissioners, respectively. The Project Core Team will provide one or more briefings throughout the process and will solicit feedback and guidance at one or more work sessions before the public hearing.
City Council and County Board of Commissioners: The Springfield City Council and Lane County’s Board of Commissioners have the ultimate decision-making responsibility for the project. The Board of County Commissioners must co-adopt the map for it to become effective in areas outside the city limits that are within the Springfield urban growth boundary. The project team will provide one or more briefings to the City Council and will solicit feedback and guidance at one or more work sessions prior to the public hearing.
What are the key steps to complete the project?
The project became officially active in November 2021 when the City and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) finalized a Grant Agreement for the project. Adoption of the property-specific Comprehensive Plan Map is anticipated to occur in 2023. Project phases include:
TASK 1: Project Kickoff – Define the project scope and identify key resources.
TASK 2: Establish Basis for Community Engagement – Create and implement a Community Engagement Plan, develop informational materials, recruit and appoint members to serve on Project Advisory Committee.
TASK 3: Map Analysis and Draft Materials – Convene Project Advisory Committee and Technical Resource Group to discuss technical aspects of the project, share progress, seek input on policy questions, and ultimately review the first version of the daft map. Conduct direct outreach as needed to property owners who have a property that require map interpretation to share project information, seek owners’ knowledge of their properties’ current plan designations, and confirm plan designations.
TASK 4: Iterate and Prepare to Adopt – Continue conducting direct outreach as needed to specific property owners. Present a public review draft of the Comprehensive Plan Map, engage the broader public through an open house and/or drop-in sessions, and refine the draft map. Coordinate with agency staff to identify any needed text amendments to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan and Springfield Comprehensive Plan to inform a staff report.
TASK 5: Adoption Process – Hold joint work sessions/public hearings with Springfield and Lane County Planning Commissions, hold joint work sessions/public hearings with Springfield City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners, adopt ordinance amending the Metro Plan and Springfield Comprehensive Plan.
