Ordinance Exhibit D DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT LAND USE COMPONENTS CA 19-1, RA 19-1, Z 19-5, WG 19-3, ST 19-3, and SDR 19-2 April 19, 2019 The tentative subdivision is set in downtown Eugene along the Willamette River. The full S -DR zone is included in the areas of two city -adopted neighborhood refinement plans, Downtown and Whiteaker. East 4th Avenue is the boundary between the two plan areas, with the Whiteaker Plan 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 Metro Plan (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has been incorporated into the Eugene Land Use Code through the applicable S -DR zoning, and the specific area plan is repealed.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 Previously applicable Downtown Plan policies have been repealed from the Eugene land use code (as part of the previous adoption of Ordinance No. 20513) and are no longer considered applicable to land use application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. (5) The proposed subdivision will: (a) Not result in unreasonable risk of fire, flood, geological hazards, or other public health and safety concerns; As described here or within the complementary applications, the subdivision will not result in unreasonable risks. The standards review application complies with standards in the /WR water resources conservation overlay. Criterion (10)(b), which follows, addresses geologic concerns. Items related to fire will be addressed at the time of building permit review. Other items that affect public health and safety are addressed throughout this application. This criterion is met. (b) Provide adequate transportation systems, water supply, sewage disposal, drainage, and other public utilities; The proposed subdivision will result in the provision of adequate transportation system and all public utilities. The site layout provides an interconnected street network, extending the existing street grid into and throughout the site. As described previously and shown on the Utility Plans (see Sheet C3.0- 05.1), all utilities are available at the site. This criterion is met. (c) Not hamper the adequate provision of publicly owned open space for recreation needs. The subdivision is setback from and adjacent to the existing greenway, thereby providing area for adequate publicly owned open space along the riverfront. The layout provides three connections to the greenway via public rights-of-way and another through the proposed park/plaza, which is shown on the plat as Lot 12. The publicly owned open space - future riverfront park - is an integral component of the overall vision for an urban riverfront neighborhood, but it is not explicitly included within the proposed subdivision. Citywide residents and future neighbors alike will nonetheless benefit from access through the proposed subdivision to numerous recreational amenities along the river and within the public -owned park. This criterion is met. City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 68
