west wetland boundary, and within 100 to 150 feet along the north wetland boundary. Development off site to the northeast is within 75 feet of the wetland boundary. New development also exists on a separate parcel between the Speedway property and Willow Creek Road (1704334000400). We conclude that with development on the site, and within 75 to 150 feet on two sides, that the site as a whole meets this criterion. The area designated for Development has existing development within 75 to 150 feet on two sides, and therefore meets this criterion. The area designated for Restoration abuts the Speedway facility at its northern end. The Speedway facility is no longer in use, and has not been used in recent years. Since the area designated for Restoration is long and narrow, and the Speedway lies at the narrow end, only a very small portion of the wetlands so designated are close to the development. The majority of these wetlands are more than 400 feet from the nearest development, and most are adjacent to protected wetlands or Willow Creek. In addition, out of a total perimeter of over 5,900 feet, only 800 feet are adjacent to the abandoned Speedway facility. Given the relatively small portion of wetlands that are actually close to the Speedway and the small portion of the perimeter that is close to the Speedway, we conclude that the Restoration area does not meet this criterion. The area designated for Protection surrounds the Speedway facility and has existing development within 75 feet to the north and therefore meets this criterion. 4. Site has frontage on a major highway or street. The Speedway site as a whole has frontage along West 11 th Avenue, Willow Creek Road and West 18th Avenue. The City of Eugene adopted the "Eugene Arterial & Collector Street Plan" in November 1999. This plan designates West 11th Avenue as a major arterial and Willow Creek Road and West 18th Avenue as minor arterials. For the purposes of this analysis, arterial streets are considered "major streets". The area designated for Development has substantial frontage on all three streets, and therefore also meets this criterion. The area designated for Restoration has approximately 900 feet of frontage along West 18th and therefore meets this criterion. The area designated for Protection has approximately 200 feet of frontage on West 11 th, and therefore also meets this criterion. 5. Site has unique characteristics which make it of special importance to the Speedway Site Ordinance, Exhibit C (Refinement Plan Amendment Findings) Page 10
