The purpose of this section is to provide standards and procedures for legislative and quasi-judicial amendments to the Official Zoning Maps.
Official Zoning Map amendments may be initiated by the Director, the Planning Commission, the Hearings Official, the City Council or a citizen. Zoning Map amendments will be reviewed as follows:
(A) 
Legislative Zoning Map amendments involve broad public policy decisions that apply to other than an individual property owner, generally affecting a large area and/or require a concurrent Springfield Comprehensive Plan Map amendment as specified in SDC 5.14.100. Legislative Zoning Map amendments are reviewed using Type 4 procedure.
(1) 
Springfield Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment Determination. An amendment to the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Map is required if the proposed Zoning Map amendment is not consistent with the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Map. Both amendments may be processed concurrently.
(2) 
Transportation Planning Rule Compliance. Where applicable, legislative Zoning Map amendments will be reviewed to determine whether the application significantly affects a transportation facility, as specified in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-012-0060. In this case a Traffic Impact Study must be submitted as specified in SDC 4.2.105(A)(4).
(B) 
Quasi-judicial Zoning Map amendments involve the application of existing policy to a specific factual setting, generally affecting a single or limited group of properties and may or may not include a Springfield Comprehensive Plan Map amendment. Quasi-judicial Zoning Map amendments are reviewed using Type 3 procedure, unless a Springfield Comprehensive Plan Map amendment is required. In this case, the Quasi-judicial Zoning Map amendment will be raised to a Type 4 review.

(B) 
Legislative Zoning Map Amendments and Quasi-Judicial Zoning Map Amendments Raised to a Type 4 Review.

The Approval Authority may attach conditions as may be reasonably necessary in order to allow the Zoning Map amendment to be granted.
