Goat 9 addresses the need for local jurisdictions to maintain adequate inventories of industrial land to meet forecasted demands. The Metropolitan Industrial Lands Study was adopted in ~~ ~`~ ~= 1992 and concluded that the metropolitan area had an adequate supply of industrial sites to `~ meet both short-term and long-term demand. Since the adoption of that study, 77 acres of industrial land located on the northeast corner of Beltline Hwy and the Northwest Expressway was determined to be more appropriate for low-density residential use and has been redesignated and rezoned accordingly. Approval of this 13 acre amendment as recommended by staff would replace a portion of the industrial land lost through the previous amendment and would not represent a signif cant change in the supply of industrial lands. Tn addition, this amendment would meet a particular need of a business that is already established at this location. Terry's has been at its present Hwy 99N location since December 26, 19$5, From 1961 until that rime, Jerry's was located about a third of a mile to the south on Hwy 99. No vacant industrially designated land is located adjacent to the current Jerry's site to provide an alternative location for the proposed expansion. There is vacant land designated and zoned for light-medium Industrial use ~ located elsewhere in the metropolitan area that can accommodate new industrial uses, however this land does not meet the expansion needs of Jerry's since it is not conriguous to the existing site. Goal 14 -- Housin To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. The area involved in this plan amendment is currently designated and zoned for urban levels ~ ~Y.~: r of low~density residential use, The 4o acre residential area between .Elizabeth Street and the urban growth. boundary was part of a residential subdivision of 96 lots approved by Lane - :~~_;~ County in .1946.., The construction of Bel~line H in the 196o's cut through the southeastern portion of this subdivision and. eliminated the planned access at the south end of this neighborhood to the east and west along Jensen Drive.. The industrial uses on the north side of Theona Drive and on the site on which Jerry's is currently located have also impacted this area. Consequently, residential development has occun~ed on only 16 of the 52 subdivision lots that remain in this subdivision after construction of Beltline Hwy and increased industrial uses in this area. The current density in this area is 1 unit per 2.5 acres. About one-durd of the existing residential lots in :this area are significantly impacted by existing Industrial development and Beltline Road and are unlikely to be developed to urban densities under the existing situation. ~ . The staff recommendation :tQ re-orient the residential development toward Wilbur Avenue and away from Terry's, and Belt .line Hwy would reduce the adverse impacts on the lots and make urban levels of residential development more likely in this .area. Limiting industrial uses to the northern portion of this area and . uirin ~ set backs and buffering would enhance the ~ g ~; ~ ; , viability of the neighborhood along '~ilbur Avenue. Since this area is within the urban ~, growth boundary, service delivery systems have been designed and built with the capacity tQ serve this area. . viSED STAFF NOTES --December 2, X993 ~ Page 1U
