City of Eugene - Johansen-MoodY House Page 13 Code Amendment/Zone Change: Creation of Historic Special Area Zone Satre Associates, P.C. September 17, 2004 by public services, facilities and utilities. The proposed amendment will not impact the delivery of services to the land within the amendment boundary or lands surrounding the same. Based on these findings, the proposed amendment complies with Goal 11. Goal 12- Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. The project site is served by River Road, a Major Arterial. Access to the house is provided by a driveway leading to on site parking as shown on the site plan. The site is adequately served by transportation infrastructure. Future development that generates 100 trips or more per peak hour will require a Traffic Impact Analysis in compliance with EC 9.8650. Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) OAR 660-012-0060 states that land use changes that significantly affect a transportation facility shall require mitigation measures to address the anticipated impact. Specifically, the OAR states: (1) Amendments to functional plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans, and land use regulations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards (e.g. level of service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of th'e facility. This shall be accomplished by either: (a) Limiting allowed land uses to be consistent with the plannedfunction, capacity, and performance standards of the transportation facility; (b) Amending the TSP to provide transportation facilities adequate to support the proposed land uses consistent with the requirements of this division; (c) Altering land use designations, densities, or design requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through other modes; or (d) Amending the TSP to modify the planned function, capacity and performance standards, as needed, to accept greater motor vehicle congestion to promote mixed use, pedestrian friendly development where multimodal travel choices are provided (2) A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it: (a) Changes the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (b) Changes standards implementing a functional classifification system; (c) Allows types or levels of land uses which would result in levels of travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional classification of a transportation facility; or (d) Would reduce the performance standards of the facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in the TSP. The proposed code amendment does not change the functional classification of any transportation facility or standards implementing a functional classification system; thus subsections 2(a) and (b) do not apply. With regard to subsection 2(c), the proposed amendment will not allow types of travel or access to area streets that are inconsistent with their functional classification. River Road is classified as a major arterial. Although direct access onto a major arterial is not the preferred means of access, it is allowable 31
