Staff notes that there was information in the <br />record to respond to questions 2-8, but no information was in the record to respond to question 1. <br /> <br />Chase Node: <br />1. Council asked whether the development at the Chase Node went through a Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) process. <br /> <br />Staff response: There is no information regarding the Chase Node in the record. Therefore, a response <br />to this question would be considered new evidence, which is not permitted in the quasi-judicial <br />proceedings for a Metro Plan amendment. <br /> <br />Requiring a Master Plan as part of a Metro Plan amendment: <br />2. Council asked whether there is a <br />way to require a Master Plan for the subject property as part of the Metro Plan amendment. <br /> <br /> Staff response: There is not a mechanism to require a “Master Plan” for the subject property unless <br />council makes a finding that an applicable approval criterion can only be met by imposition of such a <br />condition. The Planning Commission did not make such a finding. Council should note however, that <br />the existing refinement plan already requires a similar tool. Policy (5) within the Willakenzie Area <br />Plan for he Coburg/Crescent Subarea states: <br /> <br />The City of Eugene shall require that planned unit development procedures be required for all <br />residential developments within the Coburg/Crescent Subarea. The intent of this requirement is to <br />ensure adequate review of the following factors: <br /> <br />A.Development of a comprehensive street network; <br /> <br />B.Provision of pedestrian and bicycle linkages between residential, commercial, industrial, <br />educational and recreational areas; <br /> <br />C.Encouragement of a variety of dwelling types, heights, and setbacks; <br /> <br />D.Provision of adequate and attractive buffering between residential, commercial, and <br />industrial developments; and <br /> <br />E.Provision of pedestrian linkages to transit stops where practical. <br /> <br />
