The Lane County Board of Commissioners approved Ordinance 2503 on fourth reading June 24, 2025, adopting amendments to Lane Code 10.6-15 and co-adopting changes to the Springfield development code for the Campus Industrial District.

Staff presentation: Jared Bowders, senior planner with Lane County, described the property-owner-initiated amendment. The changes modify the definition of "business park," broaden allowed uses within business parks in the Campus Industrial District to permit medical offices and clinics, and allow offices that serve the public in business parks.

The nut graf: The Springfield City Council previously acted on this matter, approving its city ordinance (No. 6,496) on June 2, and county staff presented the fourth-reading ordinance to bring Lane Code into alignment with Springfield's updates. The board considered staff's recommendation to approve the ordinance as presented.

Action: A motion to adopt Ordinance 2503 as drafted was moved and seconded; the board conducted a roll-call vote and adopted the ordinance by a 5-0 vote.

Ending: The ordinance includes a savings and severability clause and an effective date; staff will proceed with implementation consistent with the adopted code amendments.
