(d) Would reduce the performance standards of the facility below the minimum <br /> acceptable level identified in the TSP. <br /> <br />The proposed Metro Plan amendments will not reduce the performance standards of any <br />facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in TransPlan. <br /> <br />The proposed Commercial Metro Plan designation will not significantly affect existing <br />transportation facilities. Currently the Courthouse site is designated Heavy Industrial. <br />Redesignation to Commercial will allow land uses with different development densities <br />and transportation needs, but will not result in reduced performance standards for <br />affected transportation facilities. <br /> <br />The City compared trip generation for a variety of a variety of different development <br />scenarios on the city-owned site adjacent to the site under development for the new <br />Federal Courthouse. These scenarios assume that the Federal Courthouse will be <br />constructed on approximately half of the property currently owned by the City. It is <br />reasonable to assume that the Federal Courthouse site will be used for the stated purpose <br />of building a Federal Courthouse. This assumption is substantiated by the federal <br />allocation of designated money, lengthy condemnation and purchase negotiations, the <br />expense and detail of the design process, and the demolition and construction contracts <br />for the same purpose. <br /> <br />Assuming a "worst case" scenario, with the maximum number of trips generated by <br />potential new commercial development on the remaining city-owned site, and subtracting <br />trips generated by existing or former uses, total new daily trips could amount to 5,945, <br />with 530 in the AM peak time and 885 in the PM peak. <br /> <br />This analysis shows that the existing transportation facilities are adequate to serve this <br />amount of new development on the remainder of the site with acceptable levels of <br />service. The new Federal Courthouse, which will occupy approximately half of.the 8.5 <br />acres site, will be a land intensive use with relatively few employees (estimated at 270), <br />as compared to employment intensive uses allowed in Industrial or Commercial lands. <br />In addition, very few parking spaces, approximately 80, will be provided for employees <br />at the Courthouse. <br /> <br />The proposed transportation improvements planned in conjunction with the Courthouse <br />will improve the transportation facilities in this immediate area, particularly for <br />pedestrians. These improvements include the 6th Avenue Extension, portions of Ferry <br />Street and 8th Avenue, and a signalized intersection at 8th and Mill. These <br />improvements are discussed in the text of The Central Area Transportation Study <br />(CATS). CATS will be subject of a separate public hearing and review process. <br /> <br />The proposed Metro Plan amendments are therefore found to be consistent with OAR <br />660-012-0060(2); no mitigation is required relative to OAR 660-012-0060(1). <br /> <br />Ordinance 1 Exhibit B - 6 <br />CSDocuments and Settings\ceplnxl~Local Settings\Temporary Intemet Files\OLK238\Ordinance 1 - <br />Findings - Exhibit B (00065096-2) 1.DOC(02/03/04) <br /> <br /> <br />
