<br />Avenue in the form of a shelter constructed to provide shade,reflect the river in the roof construction,
<br />and create a platform for temporary art.Temporary art opportunities may include sculpture,
<br />performance art,digital visual art and more with the structure scheduled to include lighting,a
<br />projection screen,and other technology to facilitate public,creative endeavors.
<br />The Riverfront Park design also includes benches,seating areas,and requisite trash receptacles and
<br />bicycle racks provide basic park amenities critical to public access and enjoyment of the park.
<br />Proposed seat walls,stairs,and shaded seating structures will provide a variety of seating
<br />opportunities for park visitors.In addition,park lighting will provide safe night-time bicycle and
<br />pedestrian movements through the site and accommodate evening programming and community
<br />activities.Lighting proximate to the river along the pedestrian paths and at the overlooks will strike a
<br />balance between operating at lower light levels to be responsive to sensitive habitat areas,but bright
<br />enough to maintain a level of security critical to the overall success of the park and visitor comfort in
<br />accordance with the standards at EC 9.3155(10)(c).
<br />The proposed circulation system and amenities within the subject site are intended to facilitate public
<br />access through the subject site and along the Willamette River while simultaneously providing visual
<br />access.Based on the above findings,the proposal ensures the continued provision of necessary and
<br />adequate public access along the river.Therefore,this criterion is satisfied.
<br />(3)The intensification,change of use,or development will conform with
<br />applicable Willamette Greenway policies as set forth in the Metro Plan.
<br />Findings of compliance with applicable Metro Plan Willamette Greenway policies are included under
<br />EC 9.8065(2)and are incorporated by reference herein.Based on these findings,this criterion is
<br />satisfied.
<br />(4)In areas subject to the Willakenzie Area Plan,the intensification,change of
<br />use,or development will conform with that plan's use management
<br />considerations.
<br />The subject site is not located within the boundaries of the Willakenzie Area Plan.This criterion does
<br />not apply.
<br />(5)In areas not covered by subsection (4)of this section,the intensification,
<br />change of use,or development shall conform with the following applicable
<br />standards:
<br />(a)Establishment of adequate setback lines to keep structures separated
<br />from the Willamette River to protect,maintain,preserve,and enhance
<br />the natural,scenic,historic,and recreational qualities of the Willamette
<br />Greenway.Setback lines need not apply to water related or water
<br />dependent activities as defined in the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals
<br />and Guidelines (OAR 660-15-000 et seq.).
<br />As illustrated on Sheets L1.0 and Ll.l Site Plan (Exhibit B.l),the proposal includes the establishment
<br />of a Willamette Greenway setback line to keep structures separated from the river and to protect,
<br />maintain,preserve,and enhance the natural,scenic,historic,and recreational qualities of the
<br />Willamette Greenway.The proposed setback line is site specific,context sensitive,and responds to
<br />existing conditions and the redevelopment vision,as described below.
