· Design elements that support pedestrian environments and encourage transit use, <br /> walking and bicycling; <br /> · A transit stop which is within walking distance (generally ¼ mile) of anywhere in the <br /> node; <br /> · Mixed uses so that services are available within walking distance; <br /> · Public spaces, such as parks, public and private open space, and public facilities, that <br /> can be reached without driving; and <br /> · A mix of housing types and residential densities that achieve an overall net density of <br /> at least 12 units per net acre. <br /> <br /> Willamette River Greenwav <br /> <br /> The Willamette River Greenwa¥ Boundary is shown on the Metro Plan Dia~am as an overlay. <br /> Refer to Chapter III-D for information, findings, and policies related to the Greenway. <br /> <br /> Public and Semi-Public <br /> <br /> This designation contains three categories: <br /> <br /> Government (includes major office complexes and facilities and lodges) <br /> <br /> Education (includes high schools and colleges) <br /> <br /> Parks and Open Space <br /> <br /> This designation includes existing publicly owned metropolitan and regional scale parks and <br /> publicly and privately owned golf courses and cemeteries in recognition of their role as visual <br /> open space. This designation also includes other privately owned lands in response to Metro <br />[ Plan policies, such as along the Willamette River Greenway, the South Hills ridgeline, the <br /> Amazon corridor, the "Q" Street Ditch, and buffers separating sand and gravel designations from <br /> residential lands. <br /> <br /> Where park and open space is designated on privately owned agricultural land, those lands shall <br /> be protected for agricultural use in accordance with Metro Plan policies. <br /> <br /> Where park and open space is designated on forest lands inside the UGB, other values have <br /> primary importance over commercial forest values and those park and open space areas shall <br /> protected for those primary values. <br /> <br /> Where park and open space is designated on forest lands outside the UGB, commercial forest <br /> values shall be considered as one of many primary values. <br /> <br /> In addition to those not shown at a neighborhood scale but automatically included in the gross <br /> allocation of residential acres, there is a need for public facilities and open space at a non-local <br /> level, such as regional/metropolitan parks. Several are shown on the Metro Plan Diagram. <br /> Those not yet in public ownership are based on environmental constraints, such as excessive <br /> <br /> II-G-9 <br /> <br /> <br />
