The proposal involves two uses subject to Standards Review within /WR conservation areas in accordance with EC 9.4930(3);specifically: (b)Construction of public improvements (including but not limited to streets,bridges,paved bikeways and pedestrian paths,and public utilities)required by this land use code or specified in adopted plans.

(f)Wetland or riparian area enhancement,restoration or creation activities.Subject to EC 9.4980 /WR Water Resources conservation Overlay Zone Development Standards (2)through (5). The applicant has submitted a prior Standards Review application for Phase One of the Riverfront Park,which includes uses in subsection (f)above,that is currently under review.14 This proposal requests approval for uses pursuant to subsection (b),specifically construction of public improvements. Regarding Phase One,all of the riparian area enhancement work includes a laying back of the existing steep bank in an approximately 500 linear foot section of the Willamette River;securing of the new bank condition with fabric encapsulated stabilization methods;re-planting of the bank with a high diversity of native trees,shrubs,and forbs;and relocation of two separate utility lines and associated equipment for underground electrical service and high-speed fiber away from the existing top of bank. Riparian enhancement work will occur over two seasons,2019 and 2020.Utility relocation work will occur in the first season (2019)and is necessitated by the proposed bank enhancement work as the existing utilities are located at a depth that will be exposed by the proposed bank layback. The following findings demonstrate that the construction of public improvements,associated with Phase Two of the Riverfront Park,complies with /WR development standards (1)through (11),as specified in subsection (b)above. EC 9.4980 /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone -Development Standards.The following standards apply only as specifically required by EC 9.4930(3)or EC 9.8030(21): (1)Enhancement.Where the /WR conservation area is reduced,or uses are approved within the /WR conservation area,the remaining /WR conservation area shall be enhanced consistent with this subsection and by removing non-native plant species and planting native plant species consistent with subsections (2)and (3)below. 14 SDR 19-001.Downtown Riverfront Park Standards Review Application.City of Eugene.May 19.2019.
