<br />- <br /> <br />Mr. Lieuallen hoped that through the remainder of the process the <br />Downtown Development Board, the City, and other groups would attempt <br />to promote alternative modes of transportation to the downtown area. <br /> <br />Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />A short recess was taken. <br /> <br />B. Recommended Adoption of Guidelines Developed by Westside Neighborhood <br />Quality Project (materials distributed) <br /> <br />Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission February 12, 1979 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Jim Croteau, Planner, said the City Council adopted the Westside <br />Neighborhood Refinement Plan in September 1977. The goals and <br />policies set forth in that plan were adopted as a refinement to <br />the Eugene-Springfield Metro Area General Plan. The Plan contained <br />recommendations which were recognized as a potential means of <br />reaching or implementing adopted goals and policies, but were not <br />adopted by the Council. He reviewed progress on implementation <br />since adoption of a plan. He said among the recommendations included <br />in the plan was one which called for monitoring the number and <br />location of group care homes and institutional uses in the neigh- <br />borhood. The recommendation before Council is intended to address <br />the issue of the concentration of institutional uses in that neigh- <br />borhood. A set of guidelines was developed by the neighborhood <br />organization to respond to their concern regarding saturation of <br />institutional uses in their neighborhood. The Planning Commission <br />considered the proposed guidelines and discussion centered on several <br />issues. The chief concern of the Planning Commission related to <br />the problem of over-concentration or saturation of institutional <br />uses in this area. The secondary concern voiced by the Commission <br />concerned the effect of these institutional use guidelines would <br />have on other neighborhoods or on a city-wide basis. Finally, the <br />Commission recognized the proposed guidelines for institutional <br />uses in the neighborhood as a temporary measure to be only applicable <br />to the Westside Neighborhood. The policy recommended by the Com- <br />mission to the Council was the following: liThe following guidelines <br />shall be considered as a policy for the area of the Westside Neigh- <br />borhood Quality Project Neighborhood Organization. For the purposes <br />of these guidelines, institutional uses include churches, day nurseries, <br />group care homes, homes for the aged, hospitals, ambulance service <br />facilities, and nursing homes. For the purposes of these guidelines, <br />significant site modification is defined as removal of trees and <br />shrubery, or creation of additional on-site parking to meet parking <br />requirements. The Commission outlined two categories: 1) uses that <br />are consistent with the direction established for the WNQP area and <br />can be accommodated by the neighborhood; and 2) uses that could be <br />approved only after close scrutiny. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />4/9/79--11 <br /> <br />zoz. <br />
