shopping centers, he said about 38 acres are zoned for commercial use and nine acres are zoned for general office use at Green Acres Road and North Delta e Highway. Valley River Center consists of 80 acres. Valley River Center and the surrounding commercial and automobil e dealer development total approximately 175 acres. The Gateway commercial area is about 190 acres, Santa Clara Square ;s about 66 acres, and the Oakway Mall is about 58 acres. Mr. Saul said the amendment application contains data about the community's need for additional commercial land. He emphasized that approval of the amendment would result in commercial development on the westerly portion of Tax Lot 100. The remaining part of Tax Lot 100 would be developed with residential uses. He submitted copies of an aerial photograph of the area; an October 14, 1987, letter to the Eugene-Springfield City Councils from Harold P. Benson, General Partner in Senior Professional Care; and an October 14, 1987, letter to Mayor Richard Gorman and Mayor Brian Obie from Jim Saul. Answering questions from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Saul said the senior care facility would include about 120 to 140 units on 8.3 acres. Replying to questions from Mayor Obie, Mr. Saul said there will be one major access to Tax Lot 200 from Green Acres Road. No plans have been submitted indicating other accesses from Green Acres Road. Commercial development on Tax Lot 200 would not have direct access to Applewood Lane. The residential development on Tax Lot 100 probably would have access to Applewood Lane. There would also be an access to Tax Lot 200 from North Delta Highway. Commercial development of Tax Lot 200 would be coordinated with development on property owned the Vi k Fami ly.

If e Tax Lot 200 is developed residentially, very stringent noise mitigation measures would have to be included in the construction. Answering other questions from Mayor Obie, Jim Hanks, 767 Willamette Street, reviewed his traffic study. He said the existing zoning on properties on the north side of Green Acres Road would permit development that would generate 10,000 to 15,000 daily trips.

Terry Jones of the Eugene Planning Department reviewed the background material. She said the applicants want to to develop an integrated commercial center on Tax Lot 1201 and part of Tax Lot 1111.
