The proposed code amendment will establish a zone change criterion that references the siting requirements in uncodified site-specific S-H Historic Special Area Zones. This code amendment will ensure that site-specific S-H Historic Special Area Zones are applied only to the designated site. This means that only the Johansen-Moody House would qualify for the site-specific S-HJM Historic Johansen-Moody House Special Area Zone. The zone change approval criteria at EC 9.8865 provide that a proposed zone change shall be consistent with applicable siting requirements, with reference to the code sections corresponding with the siting requirements in each zone set forth in the land use code. However, the zone change approval criteria make no reference to the siting requirements for uncodified site-specific S-H Historic Special Area Zones. The proposed code amendment will amend Eugene Code section 9.8865 to include this reference. Specifically, the following addition to EC 9.8865(4) is proposed in the draft ordinance within Attachment A-1: (p) An uncodified ordinance establishing a site-specific S-H Historic Special Area Zone, a copy of which is maintained at the city's planning and development department. The Eugene Code provides that if the City Council elects to act, it may, by ordinance, adopt an amendment to this land use code that complies with the following criteria from EC 9.8065: (1) Is consistent with applicable statewide planning goals as adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. (2) Is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan and applicable adopted refinement plans. (3) In the case of establishment of a special area zone, is consistent with EC 9.3020 Criteria .for establishment of an S Special Area Zone. Planning staff conclude that the proposed code amendment complies with the applicable approval criteria, finding that neither the Statewide Planning Goals nor applicable adopted plans include provisions that are directly applicable to the proposed code amendment. Moreover EC 9.8065(3) is not applicable. However, the applicant's written statement includes an evaluation of the proposed S-HJM Zone for consistency with the code amendment approval criteria. Because the provisions of the proposed S-HJM Zone will not be codified, these findings of compliance with the code amendment criteria are not required. Staff findings and conclusions for the proposed code amendment will be incorporated in Exhibit B of the draft ordinance. Zone Change: The proposed zone change would apply the proposed S-HJM Historic Johansen-Moody House Special Area zone to the City Landmark property at 370 River Road. Approval of a zone change application shall not be approved unless it meets all of the following criteria from EC 9.8865: (1) The proposed change is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan. The written text of the Metro Plan shall take precedence over the Metro Plan diagram where apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. 5 5
