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 Avenue in the form of a shelter constructed to provide shade, reflect the river in the roof construction, and create a platform for temporary art. Temporary art opportunities may include sculpture, performance art, digital visual art and more with the structure scheduled to include lighting, a projection screen, and other technology to facilitate public, creative endeavors. The Riverfront Park design also includes benches, seating areas, and requisite trash receptacles and bicycle racks provide basic park amenities critical to public access and enjoyment of the park. Proposed seat walls, stairs, and shaded seating structures will provide a variety of seating opportunities for park visitors. In addition, park lighting will provide safe night-time bicycle and pedestrian movements through the site and accommodate evening programming and community activities. Lighting proximate to the river along the pedestrian paths and at the overlooks will strike a balance between operating at lower light levels to be responsive to sensitive habitat areas, but bright enough to maintain a level of security critical to the overall success of the park and visitor comfort in accordance with the standards at EC 9.3155(10)(c). The proposed circulation system and amenities within the subject site are intended to facilitate public access through the subject site and along the Willamette River while simultaneously providing visual access. Based on the above findings, the proposal ensures the continued provision of necessary and adequate public access along the river. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. (3) The intensification, change of use, or development will conform with applicable Willamette Greenway policies as set forth in the Metro Plan. Findings of compliance with applicable Metro Plan Willamette Greenway policies are included under EC 9.8065(2) and are incorporated by reference herein. Based on these findings, this criterion is satisfied. (4) In areas subject to the Willakenzie Area Plan, the intensification, change of use, or development will conform with that plan's use management considerations. The subject site is not located within the boundaries of the Willakenzie Area Plan. This criterion does not apply. (5) In areas not covered by subsection (4) of this section, the intensification, change of use, or development shall conform with the following applicable standards: (a) Establishment of adequate setback lines to keep structures separated from the Willamette River to protect, maintain, preserve, and enhance the natural, scenic, historic, and recreational qualities of the Willamette Greenway. Setback lines need not apply to water related or water dependent activities as defined in the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines (OAR 660-15-000 et seq.). As illustrated on Sheets L1.0 and L1.1 Site Plan (Exhibit B.1), the proposal includes the establishment of a Willamette Greenway setback line to keep structures separated from the river and to protect, maintain, preserve, and enhance the natural, scenic, historic, and recreational qualities of the Willamette Greenway. The proposed setback line is site specific, context sensitive, and responds to existing conditions and the redevelopment vision, as described below. City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 53
