Exhibit B “Policy 12.0: Concentrate development in existing commercial areas to minimize traffic impacts on the rest of the city.” “Implementation Strategy 12.1: Commercially designate and zone properties with sufficient size and lot depth to permit internal traffic circulation.” (p. III-10) As illustrated photographically on Exhibit 2, the subject site is located within a robust existing commercial area at the north end of the downtown area. The site has th parking allowing for internal traffic circulation at the rear of the building off 5 Avenue. Rezoning the subject site to Commercial (C-2) would acknowledge and legitimize existing and long-standing commercial use of the property consistent with the above policy and implementation strategy. “Policy 17.0: Recognize that additional commercial development will occur primarily through redevelopment of existing commercial sites.” (Refer also to related policies and implementation strategies on pages III-7 and III-8.) “Implementation Strategy 17.3: Within the area from the east side of Agripac to Washington Street, change the plan designation and zoning of land currently zoned for industrial use to encourage a mixture of residential, commercial, and compatible industrial use.” (Refer to map in following section) (p. III-15) This Central/University Subarea policy and implementation strategies support the proposal by using the City’s existing program of applicant-initiated zone changes to bolster continued commercial use and potential re-use, development, and/or redevelopment in a commercial and/or mixed use format consistent with Policy 17.0, Policy 6.0 and relevant implementation strategies cited above. The subarea map on page III-18 of the Commercial Land Study identifies areas zoned industrial on “A band along both sides of the railroad between Lincoln & Oak.” Approving the requested zone change from Industrial (I-2) to Commercial (C-2) is wholly consistent with the action called for in Implementation Strategy 17.3, thus furthering Policies 6.0 and 17.0, and demonstrating the proposal’s consistency with the Commercial Lands Study and Downtown Plan as refinements to the Metro Plan. TransPlan Eugene’s adopted Transportation System Plan (TSP) is “TransPlan,” adopted by the City of Eugene on July 8, 2002 (Ordinance No. 20258) and acknowledged by the State of Oregon as being a refinement to the Metro Plan and consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12. Eugene’s 1999 Arterial and Collector Street Plan (ACSP) and the City’s Street Classification Map (Appendix C of the ACSP) serve to refine TransPlan and establish
