interchange design is now known and features a "diamond" type design with Barger Drive crossing over Beltline. The proposed text and map changes affect only the refinement plan designation for the area. Assuming these changes are approved, applicant must come back later to obtain a zone change and will not do so until a contract is awarded for construction of the interchange. In addressing the direction and consistency of the Metropolitan Area General Plan, Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan, and the Eugene Commercial lands Study, the staff is recommending the following text and map changes. The text is from the Bethel-Danebo plan for the Barger-Beltline development node. That text with a dashed line shall illustrate deletions followed by inserted new text as underlined. Proposed changes to the text and map for the development node are based on information, policies, and strategies developed since adoption of the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan in 1982 (i.e., Eugene Commercial lands Study). Changes may also occur that address current and more precise information (i.e., total size of the node) and text errors (i.e., page numbers). B. Barqer-Beltline develooment node The Barger-Beltline development node involves approximately 9t 99 acres of land, which includes i ~ acres of commercial, 16 acres of high- density residential, and ~ 68 acres of medium-density residential (see map on page ~ 11). High-density residential development exceeds a density of 20 units per acre, as opposed to medium-density residential, which has a density 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 the future long-range needs. In its review of this development node, the plan provides for i 15 acres of commercial property north of Barger A1cnue Drive and adjacent to 9 acres of existing commercial zoning and development now located on the south side of Barger Avenue Drive at its intersection with Beltline Road. The logic for this location is based on inventories of existing commercial development in the area by the adoDted Euqene Commercial lands Study. Community 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 A~CAue Drive. Much of this commercial land has been developed to a high intensity; however, located sporadically in this area are vacant or underused parcels. The proximity of the commercial development along Highway 99 North, beginning south of Barger A~CRUC Drive, is approximately three-quarters of a mile east from the existing commercial development located at the intersection of Barger A~CAUC Drive and Beltline 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-Danebo area) is limited t~.the proposed 16 acres of high-density residential use ~11ocated for. the Barger-Beltline STAFF NOTES--Planning Commission November 29, 1993 Page 4
