Exhibit B <br />“Downtown Traffic Impact Analysis Exempt Area.” This TIA exempt area is illustrated <br />in EC Map 9.8670 and is coterminous with the Downtown Plan boundary, so includes <br />the subject property. <br />As amended, TSI Roadway Policy #2: Motor Vehicle Level of Service reads as <br />follows: <br />1.Use motor vehicle level of service standards to maintain acceptable <br />and reliable performance on the roadway system. These standards <br />shall be used for: <br />a.Identifying capacity deficiencies on the roadway system. <br />b.Evaluating the impacts on roadways of amendments to <br />transportation plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans and <br />land-use regulations, pursuant to the TPR (OAR 660-12-0060). <br />c.Evaluating development applications for consistency with the <br />land-use regulations of the applicable local government <br />jurisdiction. <br />2.Acceptable and reliable performance is defined by the following <br />levels of service under peak hour traffic conditions: <br />a.Level of Service F within Eugene’s Downtown Traffic Impact <br />Analysis Exempt Area; <br />b.Level of Service E within the portion of Eugene’s Central Area <br />Transportation Study Area that is not within Eugene’s Downtown <br />Traffic Impact Analysis Exempt Area; and <br />c.Level of Service D elsewhere. <br />3.Performance standards from the OHP shall be applied on state <br />facilities in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. <br />The amended policy above was also codified in EC 9.9650 under applicable <br />TransPlan policies. <br />Council action under Ordinance No. 20514 also amended Metro Plan <br />Transportation Policy F-15. This policy language is identical to that above in <br />TransPlan TSI Roadway Policy #2, with only changes to numbering to correspond with <br />formatting in the Metro Plan. <br />Exhibit 6 of this application includes transportation analysis performed by a <br />competent licensed transportation engineer. The analysis demonstrates that the <br />proposed Commercial designation and zoning would not generate more trips under a <br />reasonable worst case scenario of potential Commercial uses than could be allowed <br />under the existing Industrial zoning and/or High Density Residential land use <br />designation (presuming staff’s assertion that the site indeed has an existing HDR <br />Metro Plan diagram designation). <br />Based upon the above facts and those included in the attached transportation <br />analsyis, the following demonstrates the proposal’s consistency with requirements of <br />the TPR and Statewide Planning Goal 12. <br />
