The requested changes are <br />outlined in Table 1, below. <br />Central Eugene Industrial Park - Metro Plan Amendment & Zone Change <br />Application (File #) Current Proposed Acres <br />Metro Plan Amendment <br />Heavy Industrial Light Medium Industrial ~41.31 <br />(MA 20-3) <br />Zone Change I-2 Light-Medium <br />I-3 Heavy Industrial ~41.31 <br />(Z 20-10) Industrial <br />Table 1: Current/Proposed Plan Designations and Zoning <br />thst <br />The subject property is located west of Highway 99, north of West 5 Avenue, south of 1 <br />Avenue, and east of Seneca Road. It consists of four separate tax lots with 3 different owners, <br />all of whom have submitted their permission to proceed with this application. <br />FINDINGS <br />This request for a Metro Plan Amendment (Type I) is subject to the land use application procedures <br />in the Eugene Code (EC) 9.7700-9.7735. The applicant has also requested a zone change. Per EC <br />9.8005, the requested zone change is being processed concurrently. The applicable refinement <br />plans are the Bethel Danebo Neighborhood Refinement Plan, Phase 2, and the West Eugene <br />Wetlands Plan. Neither refinement plan contains a land use diagram and therefore the refinement <br />plans do not require any amendments to remain consistent with the proposed changes <br />to the Metro Plan Diagram. <br />Tthe proposed Metro Plan and Zoning Map amendments <br />will allow a more diverse range of industrial uses and businesses that are compatible with <br />existing nearby development. While it is helpful and relevant to know why the applicant has <br />requested the Metro Plan amendment and Zone Change, it is important to recognize that these <br />findings will reflect how changes to the land use designation and zoning, and all potential uses <br />resulting from said change, are consistent with the approval criteria. <br /> <br />Findings Page 1 of 14 <br />MA 20-3 / Z 20-10 <br /> <br />
