Plan, Bethel-Danebo Refinement Pi an, and the Eugene Commercial lands Study, the staff is recommending the following text and map changes. The following text is from the Bethel -Danebo plan for the Barger-Bel tl i ne development node. Proposed changes t4 the text and map for the development node are based on information, policies, and strategies developed since adoption of the Bethel -Danebo Refinement P1 an i n 1982 ~ i . e. , Eugene Cornmerci al Lands Study . Changes may also occur that address current and more precise information ~i.e., total size of the nodes and text errors ~i.e., page numbers. B. Baraer-Beltline development node The Barger-Bel tl i ne level apment node involves approximately 99 acres of land, which includes 15 acres of commercial, 1fi acres of high-density residential , and fib acres of med i um-density residential ~ see map on page 11~. High-density residential development exceeds a density of 24 units per acre, as opposed to medi um-density residential , which has a dens i ty of between to 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 nude, the plan provides far 15 acres of commercial property north of Barger Drive and adjacent to 9 acres of existing commercial zoning and development now located on the south side of Barger Drive at its intersection with Bel t1 i ne Road. The logic for this 1 ocati an i s based on i nventari es of existing commercial development in the area by the adopted Eugene Commercial Lands Study. Community Commercial zoning and development i s located i n the strip commercial area along Highway 99 North, extending from Roosevelt Boulevard continuously north to within a few hundred feet south of Barger Drive. Much of this commercial land has been developed to a high intensity; however, located sporadically in this area are vacant ar underused parcels. The proximity of the commercial development along Highway 99 North, beginning south of Barger Drive, i s approximately three-quarters of a mi 1 e east from the existing commercial development located at the intersection of Barger Drive and Bel tl i ne Road. Pot i ci es set forth by the Metropolitan Area General P1 an 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 to the proposed 1fi acres of high-density residential use a1 l ocated for the Barger-Bel tl i ne development node. The bat once of this node, or approximately fib acres, would be set aside for medium-density residential development. Med i um-density housing i n the Bethel -Danebo area i s 1 i mi ted to level apment i n and around the Gi 1 Bert Shopping Center, which i s located i n the immediate vicinity of Fairfield Street and Highway 99 North. A number of multi -family housing developments have taken place, such as Sorgenfri , Sorgenfri Nord, Landsby Place, and Sol vang. These projects and other medium-density residential development existing in the Bethel Danebo area are basically confined to approximately 11 acres. Wi thl n the stri p commercial area along Highway 99 North are a few older motels which have kitchen foci] ittes, allowing weekly and monthly accommodations.
