Compatibility between residential and industrial uses is addressed in two other policies that will be applicable at the time of zone change. These are: The City of Eugene shall ensure that industrial development in the Coburg/Crescent Subarea is sensitive to and compatibility with surrounding uses and will confirm to the Coburg/Crescent Special Light Industrial Siting and Development Standards. (Policy 3) Apply the /SR Site Review suffix to all parcels designated for Special Light Industrial and Light-Medium Development in the Coburg/Crescent Subarea. (Proposed Action 3.1) The City of Eugene shall require that planned unit development procedures be required for all residential developments within the Coburg/Crescent subarea. The intent of this requirement is to ensure adequate review of the following factors: A.Development of a comprehensive street network; B.provision of pedestrian and bicycle linkages between residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and recreational areas; C.encouragement of a variety of dwelling types, heights, and setbacks; D.provision of adequate and attractive buffering between residential, commercial, and industrial developments; and E.provision of pedestrian linkages to transit stops where practical. (Policy 5) These policies assure that the issue of compatibility and interface of residential and industrial lands will be addressed both from the perspective of new or expanded industrial development through Site Review provisions, and also from the perspective or residential development, which will require review and approval through the planned unit development process. The proposed amendments do not pose a conflict with the applicable Coburg/Crescent Subarea policies. (2) The refinement plan amendment addresses one or more of the following: (a) An error in the publication of the refinement plan. (b) New inventory material which relates to a statewide planning goal. (c) New or amended community policies. (d) New or amended provisions in a federal law or regulation, state statute, state regulation, statewide planning goal, or state agency land use plan. (e) A change of circumstances in a substantial manner that was not anticipated at the time the refinement plan was adopted. The proposed amendments are not based on an error in the publication of the Willakenzie Area Plan, new inventory material relating to a statewide planning goal or new or amended state or federal laws, regulations, or policies; therefore EC 9.8424(2)(a), (b) and (d)above, are not applicable to this request. The proposed re-designation in the Metro Plan from Campus Industrial to Medium Density Residential, addresses a new or amended community policy or a change in circumstances in a substantial manner that was not anticipated at the time the Willakenzie Area Plan was adopted, consistent with EC 9.8424(c) and (e) above.
