<br />4.Future EmX Lane – Staff recommends that the future redesign of Franklin Boulevard should <br />accommodate the potential for adding a second EmX lane. This is a continuation of the <br />policy direction provided by Planning Commission following several work sessions. <br /> <br /> <br />5.Bicycle Circulation – Staff recommends adoption of the bicycle circulation proposal that was <br />developed in Spring 2007. <br /> <br />th <br /> <br />6.Mid-Block Connection (14 Ave.) – Staff recommends a future pedestrian connection be <br />encouraged through these blocks in conjunction with future redevelopment and that this <br />connector should be limited to pedestrians and bicycle movements only. Vehicle access to <br />parking and truck access to retail stores would be provided separately. The specific alignment <br />of the future connection would be identified as part of plan development. <br /> <br /> <br />7.Orchard Street Connection – Staff recommends that this option be eliminated from further <br />consideration and that the plan not propose a future connection of Orchard between Franklin <br />and Garden Avenue. <br /> <br />th <br /> <br />8.15 Avenue Edge - Staff recommends that medium-intensity mixed use development occur <br />th <br />throughout the area between Franklin and 15 and between Villard and the eastern project <br />boundary, with a general height limit of 50 feet. Staff notes that through the design review <br />th <br />process, additional controls on building height and placement on the north side of 15 Ave <br />are recommended in the form of building setbacks. Additional design controls on the north <br />side of 15th Avenue are recommended, including building massing and organization, height <br />setbacks, and frontage types. Specific details regarding the design controls will be specified <br />in the form-based code. <br /> <br /> <br />9.ODOT Site – Staff recommends that the entire site be designated for the full range and mix <br />of uses at higher intensities, with the notable exception that the portion of the site within 50 <br />th <br />feet of 15 Ave should be designated for medium density residential development at R-2 <br />th <br />density levels, thus creating a residential front to 15 Ave. Staff notes that this does not <br />limit R-2 uses to 50 feet in depth since R-2 is allowed in the remaining mixed use portion of <br />the site. <br /> <br /> <br />10.Millrace – Staff has divided recommendations into subcategories. <br /> <br />10.1 Revitalization as Public Open Space and Recreational Amenity - Staff recommends that <br />the Walnut Station Mixed Use Development Plan include a policy recommendation that the <br />City undertake as soon as possible a study of the entire Millrace, from intake to outfall, to <br />explore issues and options related to the Millrace's future. This effort should include further <br />discussion with Millrace property owners. In addition, staff recommends exploring the <br />formation of a public/private Millrace Partnership to help manage water levels and the <br />multiple Millrace objectives as described below. A partnership such as this could also guide <br />an interim planning period during which an agreement with the University of Oregon could <br />be explored to keep the pumps in operation until a Millrace study could be completed. <br /> <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Walnut Station Agenda November 2007 3 <br /> <br />Item Summary <br /> <br /> <br />
