Draft 9/29/14 in Chapter IV. Those new or expanded exceptions must meet requirements of statewide planning goals and administrative rules and must comply with applicable Metro Plan policies. Background information on all adopted exception areas is detailed in the Exceptions Working Paper and its Addendum. Within adopted exception areas, uses and densities must be consistent with zoning and Metro Plan designations and policies. Changes to use, density, or zone which are not consistent with the Metro Planrequire a Metro Plan amendment following the process in Chapter IV. Such amendments must be accompanied by an explanation of the reason for the amendment (proposed use, intensity, size, timing, available and proposed service and facility improvements) and must be in compliance with other applicable Metro Plan policies and the following criteria: Compatibility with existing development pattern and density; Adequacy of on-site sewage disposal suitability or community sewerage; Domestic water supply availability; Adequate access; Availability of rural-level services (refer to Policy G.27 in Chapter III-G); Lack of natural hazards; and Compatibility with resource lands adjacent to the exception area. The list of exceptions and site-specific maps, which are amendments to the Metro Plan, are contained in Appendix C. Airport Reserve Lands which may be acquired by Eugene at some future time in connection with the Eugene Airport, and for which an exception to statewide planning goals must be taken, if the zoning is changed from Exclusive Farm Use/Commercial Airport Safety Combining (E-40/GAS zone). University/Research This category represents property which is located in proximity to the University of Oregon campus. It is primarily intended to accommodate light industrial, research and development, and office uses related to activities, research, and programs of the University of Oregon. The designation also allows for mixed use development, including a limited range of retail and service uses and multiple-family dwellings. Commercial activities in this category are intended to serve the day-to-day needs of employees working in and near university/research areas. Activities, such as general retail and office, will continue to be located in other appropriately designated areas. Development of land in this category can play a critical role in the diversification of the metropolitan area’s economy by providing an opportunity to develop industrial activities which support and utilize programs of the University of Oregon.
