The city has designated several Neighborhood Commercial sites that are greater than 5 acres in size. The site directly to the south of the subject property, far example, is a site greater than 9 acres and zoned C- 1. The Commercial lands Study recognized that Neighborhood Commercial sites were, sometimes, greater than 5 acres and changed the pot icy in the Commercial lands Study to reflect that fact. The Metro Plan has been refined by the policy adopted in the Commercial Lands Study. The text and diagram amendments to the Bethel-Danebo Refinement P1 an are necessary to make the refinement plan consistent with the Commercial lands Study, a porn on of the Metro P1 an .

In 1981, LCDC adopted the Goal 9 administrative rule. In response to Gaal 9 and DAR 660-09-000 through 660-09-025, requiring cities to evaluate whether the supply of commercial 1 and meets 1 vcal community economi c objectives, in February 1989, an intergovernmental staff team began work vn the Commercial Lands Study. The study was completed over a period of approximately 3 years ,with significant input from cammun i ty members, local civic groups and professional consultants. The Eugene City Counci 1 adapted the Eugene Commerci a1 Lands Study on May 11, 1992 as a refinement of the Metro Plan for the Eugene portion of the Urban Growth Boundary.

The study defines "commercial 1 ands' as parcels either designated commercial under the Metro P1 an or zoned commercially. As of January 1989, the commercial buildable land inventory for the Eugene urban growth boundary was 505 acres. The total vacant commercial land i n the West Eugene subarea, i n which the Bethel -Danebo neighborhood i s located, i s 202 acres, the 1 argest inventory of vacant commerci a1 bui 1 dabl a land i n the city. The West Eugene subarea contains 40 / of the city's entire inventory of vacant commercial bui 1 dabl e i and. Of the city's vacant commercial parcels over 10 acres in size, 80% of them are in the West Eugene subarea. The Commercial Lands Study found a forecasted demand in Eugene for 109 acres of developable office land and 423 acres of non-office commercial land for a total of 532 acres by the year 2oI0. Based on the study's assumptions of haw the demand for Commerci a1 1 and wi 11 be met, and given the adjusted supply data collected, the supply of vacant commercial 1 and X702 acres exceeds that of the demand X532 acres.
