East 4th Avenue is the boundary between the two plan areas,with the to the north and the Downtown Plan south of the street.The tentative subdivision does not include the S-DR zoned lots north of 4th Avenue,thereby removing the Whiteaker Plan policies from consideration here. Downtown Riverfront Specific Area Plan City Council adopted the specific area plan as a refinement to the .P](Ordinance No.20513). The text within the adopting ordinance states that certain sections "are adopted as land use regulations."The balance of the plan is "adopted only to serve as findings in support of this Ordinance,"referring to the adopting ordinance.Therefore,the Specific Area Plan is not intended to act as approval criteria for individual projects.Instead,the plan content has been incorporated into the Eugene Land Use Code through the applicable S-DR zoning,and the specific area plan is repealed. EC 9.9540 Eugene Downtown Plan Policies Previously applicable Downtown Plan policies have been repealed from the Eugene land use code (as part of the previous adoption of Ordinance No.20513)and are no longer considered applicable to land use application reviews.
