The following zones present in the River Road Corridor area will remain as is: • Agricultural (AG) • Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) • Community Commercial (C-2) • Mixed-Use Employment (E-2) • General Office (GO) • Light-Medium Industrial (I-2) • Public Land (PL) • Low-Density Residential (R-1) • Medium-Density Residential (R-2) • Special Area – Historic (S-H) Please note that the passage of Oregon H.B.2001 (2019) will affect R-1 zoning. The impact of the bill is yet to be fully determined. The height for the COR-MU and COR-RES zones are regulated through a height overlay designation. In the River Road area, all COR-MU zones are COR-MU/55 with a maximum 55 ft height with a bonus to 65 ft for affordable housing. The COR-RES zones are all COR-RES/40 with a maximum height of 40 ft. The applicability of the new zones will follow existing policy on annexation and legal non-conforming uses. For parcels that are under jurisdiction of the county, the new zones will only apply upon annexation. Non-conforming uses and structures will follow the policy of the 9.1220 and 9.1230 of the Eugene Municipal Code. 3.1 Corridor Mixed-Use (COR-MU) Purpose The purpose of the Corridor Mixed-Use (COR-MU) zone is to create thriving mixed-use neighborhood centers at key locations to provide a community gathering space, commercial services, and a 20- minute neighborhood for the residential zones adjacent to the corridor. Some development standards and design guidelines/standards for the COR-MU zone will be organized by commercial/mixed-use projects and 100% residential projects. Building Types • Mixed-use buildings (i.e. ground-floor businesses with housing on upper floors) • Stand-alone commercial buildings, offices, and small shops and restaurants • Stand-alone residential, including townhouses and multi-family housing types Design Objectives (1) Encourage new buildings with appropriate height and relationship to the street that promote a long-term transition to a highly walkable, safe, and active streetscape. (2) Combine engaging street side character with gradual building scale transitions between uses of greater and lesser intensity to foster residential livability. (3) Incorporate a range of open spaces as part of development to enrich the public realm, support commercial activity, and create community meeting places. CC Agenda - Page 41
