development node. The balance of this node, or approximately +l 68 acres, would be set aside for medium-density residential development. Medium-density housing in the Bethel-Oanebo area is limited to development in and around the Gilbert Shopping Center, which is located in the immediate vicinity of Fairfield Street and Highway 99 North. fR recent years, A number of multi-family housing developments have taken place, such as Sorgenfri, Sorgenfri Nord, landsby Place, and Solvang. These projects and other medium-density residential development existing in the Bethel Danebo area are basically confined to the approximately 17 acres. located in the immediate vicinity of Fairfield Street and Hi 99 north. Within the strip commercial area along .Highway 99 North are a few older motels which have kitchen facilities, allowing weekly and monthly accommodations. The separation distance between the Barger- Beltline development node and the medium-density residential node located near Fairfield Street and Highway 99 North is approximately two miles. The Barger-Beltline development node, as proposed, would provide a good balance in commercial and medium-density residential .uses with existing and proposed commercial areas and multiple-family housing throughout the Bethel-Danebo area. The map on page 4 notes the locations of the various commercial-residential nodes, existing or proposed, providing a visual distribution of these areas. Additional support for these land-use allocations is found in the Technical Summary of the Metro Plan. In conjunction with the technical data, The Metropolitan Area General Plan provides specific criteria for the allocation and location of the various commercial and residential development nodes. These criteria relate to the prime factor of population being a resource for an equitable distribution and balance of commercial land and industrial sites. A complete range of urban services provided additional criteria for identification of this commercial-residential development node. FeF example, the Barger Beltline development Rode has direct egress/ingress to Barger Avenue, ~hich is an arterial extending between two major arterials High~ay 99 North and Beltlinc Road. The proposed node will net be bisected by any future arterials, causing Acgati~e impact ~ithin the study area. The particular study area is presently scr~ed with the complete range of urban ser~ices, since it ;s ~ithin the City limits sf Eugene. Therefore, the dc~clopmcRt of this area is Rat dependcnt en thc extension sf urban services, or future capital improvemcnts, such as arterial streets, trunk sc~ers sr storm sewers. TranSDortation imorovements are reauired orior to full develoDment of the Beltline-BarQer develooment node. ImDrovements to the Baraer- Beltline interchanae are a function of the Oreaon Deoartment of TransDortation. Other imorovements will be necessary for Baraer Drive east of Beltline Road beyond the contractual limits associated with the interchanae imorovements. The develooment of the node will require other traffic improvements. These include additional turn lanes on Barger Drive and Echo Hollow Road when the node is develooed and shall be addressed bv the City. Street imorovements can be assessed with develooment of the node. The intensity for proposed services within the commercial area is dependent on the amount of land allocated for commercial use, the amount of residential STAFF NOTES--Planning Commission November 29, 1993 Page 5
