o n~- \! i.~ _ ._~ and size of a larger commercial area. U The description and recommendations pertaining to the Barger-Beltline Development Node are found on pages 7-10 of the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan document. The original text is reprinted in its entirety below: "B. Barger-Beltline Development Node. The Barger-Beltline development node involves approximately 92 acres of land which includes 5 acres of commercial,16 acres of high-density residential, and 71 cres of medium-density residential (see map on page 10). High-density residential development exceeds a density of 20 units per acre, as opposed to medium-density residential, which has a densi~ of between 10 and 20 units per acre. It was recognized that, based on future population needs, medium- and high-density allocations shown on the diagram may not be needed in the near future; however, specific sites should be protected to meet future long-range need. In its review of this development node, the plan provides for 5 acres of coIm;llercial property north of Barger Avenue and adjacent to 9 acres of existing commercial zoning and development now located on the south side of Barger Avenue at its intersection with BeltIine Road. The logic for this location is based on inventories of existing commercial development in the area. Communi~ commercial zoning and development is located in the strip commercial area along Highway 99 North, extending from Roosevelt Boulevard continuously north to within a few hundred feet south of Barger Avenue. Much of this commercial land has been developed to a high intensity; however, located sporadically in this area are vacant or underused parcels. The proximi~ of the commercial development along Highway 99 North, beginning south of Barger Avenue, is approximately three-quarters of a mile east from the existing commercial development located at the intersection of Barger Avenue and BeltIine Road. Policies set forth by the Metropolitan Area General Plan are intended to discourage strip commercial patterns. Proposed and existing high-density residential area in the northwest portion of Eugene ( Bethel-Datlebo area) is limited to the proposed 16 a~es of high-densi~ residential use allocated for the Barger-BeltIine development node. The balance of this node, or approximately 71 acres, would be set aside for medium-densi~ residential development Medium-densi~ h9using in the Bethel-Danebo area is limited to development in and around the Gilbert Shopping Center, which is located in the immediate vicini~ of Fairfield Street and Highway 99 North. In recent years, a number of mul1i~family housing developments have taken place, such as Sorgenfri, Sorgenfri Nord, LandSby Place, and Solvang. These projects and other. medium-densi~ residential development existing in the Bethel-Danebo area are basically confined to the approximately 17. acres located in the immediate vicini~ of Fairfield Street and 3 1-15
