Ordinance - Page 1 of 2 ORDINANCE NO. ________ AN ORDINANCE CLARIFYING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN APPROVED RIVERFRONT PARK PERMIT AND S-DR DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT CODE AND AMENDING SECTION 9.3155 OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A.On July 22, 2019, the Eugene City Council approved Ordinance No. 20619. Section 3 of that Ordinance approved amendments to EC 9.3155(15), which regulates development within view corridor areas of the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone. Section 8 of that Ordinance approved /WR Water Resources Overlay Zone Standards Review application No. SDR 19-2 for park areas within the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone. B.The City Council’s approval of SDR 19-2 as part of the same action that approved the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone code amendments demonstrates the City’s intent that the art pavilion described and depicted in the SDR 19-2 narrative and site plans is permitted in the view corridor area extending from 5th Street as shown in the approved plans without further need to demonstrate consistency with EC 9.3155(15). C.The view corridor areas of the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone that are within the /WR Water Resources Conservation Area are owned by the City of Eugene for park purposes. Approval of a park building or structure within those areas through the City’s standards review process as permitted by EC 9.4930(3) (“Uses Subject to Standards Review within /WR Conservation Areas”) ensures that the building or structure is consistent with the City’s protection measures for the Willamette River and should also be a sufficient basis for allowing the building within a Downtown Riverfront view corridor. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Subsection (15) of Section 9.3155 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows: 9.3155 S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone General Development Standards (applicable to all property). * * * (15) View Corridor Requirements. View corridors shall be provided in those areas identified on Figure 9.3155(3), in addition to compliance ATTACHMENT D April 13, 2020, Meeting – Item 4CC Agenda - Page 62
