ORDINANCE NO. 20455 <br />AN ORDINANCE TO REDESIGNATE AND REZONE “SOUTH <br />WILLAMETTE PROPERTIES” FOR GENERAL OFFICE USE BY: <br />AMENDING THE EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN AREA <br />GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM; AMENDING THE SOUTH WILLAMETTE <br />SUBAREA PLAN DIAGRAM AND TEXT; AND AMENDING THE <br />EUGENE ZONING MAP. <br />THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. <br />The Metro Plan Diagram land use designation for the property located <br />at 2440 Willamette Street and identified as Tax Assessor’s Map 18-03-06-41, Tax Lot <br />3100 is amended from High Density Residential to the Commercial land use <br />designation, as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this <br />reference. <br />Section 2. <br /> The South Willamette Subarea Study is amended as follows: <br />A. <br />Recommendations 4 and 5 on pages 7 - 8 of the Study are revised as <br />follows: <br />4) Except for the area described in Recommendation 9, commercial or <br />thth <br />office zoning along Willamette between 19 and 24 Place should <br />not be expanded. The area should appropriately remain in <br />residential uses as it is designated in the Metro Plan Diagram. The <br />traffic volumes projected for a two-way Willamette in this section <br />are approximately 12,000 vehicles per day, an increase of 4,400. <br />This level of traffic is lower than several other arterial streets which <br />thth <br />are primarily residential: 18 Avenue, 11 Avenue between <br />th <br />downtown and Garfield Street, and Patterson south of 24. Staff <br />feels that the projected increase in traffic volumes does not support <br />the conversation of residential to office or commercial uses. <br />5) Except for the area described in Recommendation 9, in recognition <br />of existing mix of low, medium and high density residential uses <br />th <br />and the current zoning on the west side of Willamette between 19 <br />th <br />Avenue and 24 Place, this study recommends that the Metro Plan <br />Diagram be refined to reflect a high density residential designation <br />on parcels currently zoned R-3 in the area. <br />B. <br /> Add a new Recommendation 9 to page 8 of the Study as follows: <br />9) The property located at the northwest corner of Willamette Street <br />th <br />and 24 Place should be zoned for GO General Office Use. <br />Ordinance - Page 1 of 2 <br />
