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 and without interfering with the orderly extension of adjacent streets, bicycle paths, and accessways. If the planning director deems it necessary for the purpose of future land division, any restriction of buildings within future street, bicycle path, and accessway locations shall be made a matter of record in the tentative plan approval. The proposed Tentative Subdivision is taking place on property zoned Special Area Zone, Downtown Riverfront (S -DR). This criterion is not applicable. (9) As far as is practicable, lot side lines shall run at right angles to the street upon which the lots face, except that on curved streets they shall be radial to the curve. The majority of proposed lots run at right angles to the streets upon which they face, and others are nearly right angles, as far as is practicable. The downtown riverfront site has unusual geography caused by the adjacent arc of the Willamette River on the east and the railroad to the west. These two features disrupt the rectilinear street grid that runs throughout downtown Eugene. Extensions of existing streets - East 5th Avenue, Mill and Ferry Streets - reestablish the grid and enable lots with right angles. Lots 13, 14, 15, and 16 are generally arranged at right -angles, but the eastern lots will face onto the park while the western lots orient to Local Road 3 or the cross streets of Ferry Street, Local Road 1, and Local Road 2. In all cases, the resultant lots are arranged to run at right angles to public streets or accesses or allow future development on those lots to orient at right angles to the public street or accesses. Based on the findings above, the criterion is met. (10) The proposed subdivision complies with all of the following: (a) EC 9.6706 Development in Flood Plains through EC 9.6709 Special Flood Hazard Areas - Standards. These standards do not apply because the subject property is not located within a special flood hazard area as mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). According to the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) No. 41039C -1137-F, dated June 2, 1999, portions of the site nearest the Willamette River are in Zone X (see Exhibit L). This classification in this location means the area is within the 500 -year floodplain, but it is beyond the Special Flood Hazard area. The classification recognizes the area is protected by levees from the 100 -year flood event, and it results in a reduced risk from the 100 -year flood event of less than 1 -foot in depth. (b) EC 9.6710 Geological and Geotechnical Analysis. The site analysis has been conducted in compliance with the requirements of EC 9.6710. As per subsection EC 9.6710(2)(b), such an analysis is required of all developments that will construct and dedicate public streets and alleys, drainage systems, and wastewater sewers. The downtown riverfront development will construct and dedicate each of these public infrastructure systems, thereby initiating the requirement to conduct an analysis. The tentative subdivision is relatively flat, lacking any slopes that are greater than 10%. As per subsection EC 9.6710(5), a Level 1 analysis is required of all development sites with slopes less than 10% that include construction of public improvements, as is the case within the tentative subdivision project boundary. The analysis is included as Exhibit I to the overall document. (c) EC 9.6730 Pedestrian Circulation On -Site. City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 72
