e. About 5 acres in size, on the north side of Ayers Road, west of Gilham Road. This policy was implement through the adoption of C-l zoning for Summer Oaks -Crescent Center. While implementation Strategy 18.1 suggests consideration of a Neighborhood Commercial area size of 10 acres, the adopted policy does not require that these specific acreages be zoned for Neighborhood Commercial. Approval of the request would leave an area of Neighborhood Commercial zoning along Crescent Ave of approximately 3 acres. In addition, office development and neighborhood commercial developments are provided in other areas within the nodal development area. The proposal is not inconsistent with Policy 18 of the ECLS. 23.0 Foster the development of attractive and functional commercial areas that not only increase property values, but enhance Eugene's reputation as a pleasant, productive and attractive community in which to live or do business. Recognize that innovative building designs and neighborhood-enhancing streetscapes....are key factors in the success of such developments. A C-2 zoning for the subject parcels is as likely as a C-l zoning to contribute to attractive and functional commercial areas. The application of an overlay zone that requires design review, such as Site Review Overlay or PUD overlay, and adopted commercial development standards will help ensure that future proposed development is attractive, functional and compatible with the neighborhood. The proposal is consistent with Policy 16 of the ECLS. (3) The uses and density that will be allowed by the proposed zoning in the location of the proposed change can be served through the orderly extension of key urban facilities and services. The following key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, are currently available to the subject property, or can be extended in an orderly and efficient manner to serve future development: wastewater service, stormwater service, transportation, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, city-wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and public schools on a district-wide basis. Details related to how/when/where those facilities and services are provided remain to be resolved in the context of any future development proposal. In regards to transportation, the findings under EC 9.8424(1), under Statewide Planning Goal 12, above, are incorporated herein by reference. (4) The proposed zone change is consistent with the applicable siting requirements set out for the specific zone in: (a) EC 9.2150 Commercial Zone Siting Requirements. The commercial zone siting requirements at EC 9.2150 only affect properties proposed for C-l or C-4 zoning. There are no siting requirements in the Eugene Code for overlay zones. The proposed zone change is consistent with this criterion. (5) In cases where the NR zone is applied based on EC 9.2510(3), the property owner shall enter into a contractual arrangement with the city to ensure the area is maintained as a natural resource area for a minimum of 50 years. The above criterion is not applicable, as the proposed zone change does not include application of the NR zone. Summer Oaks-Crescent Center - r'indings, September 17, 2007 Page 17 of 19
