About the Technical Advisory Committee
Springfield’s Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) appointed the Technical Advisory Committee on May 20, 2025. You can view the CCI’s discussion and more information about Committee members at https://springfieldoregonspeaks.org/items/523.
This 17-member Committee will advise staff (but will not formally vote) on matters related to updating the Springfield Development Code and adopted land use plans. This Committee is project-based and will no longer meet in this capacity upon project completion in 2026.
About the project
This effort aligns with Springfield’s Housing Strategy and ensures compliance with new State housing mandates. It includes updates to make development standards for housing clear and objective in mixed-use residential and commercial areas, while identifying opportunities to foster walkable, welcoming places.
