The Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan, adopted in September 19$2, provided written text, e. g. , policies and proposals, and a ra hic . g p del~neat~on of the development node which contains approximately 99.d acres. The ma on a e P Pg 11 of the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan provides a graphic display of the various ro osed . .. p P land uses for the site. This ~s supported by written text ~n the polzc~es for the development node beginning on page seven of the neighborhood plan. The map depicts five acres of commercial located nearest the intersection of Barger Drive and Beltline Road surrounded by approximatel . y 1 b acres of high-density residential and the balance of the site extending east Navin . g approxunately 71 acres of medium-density res~dent~al. The applicant is proposing to expand the commercial portion of the node to 15 acres, maintaining the same basic configuration and location. The proposed commercial uses would be oriented near the corner of Barger and Beltline Road. Adjacent to this would be the 16 acres of high-density residential and the remainder of the site, approximately 6$ acres, would be designated for medium-density residential. In November 1992, the Eugene Plarming Commission granted approval to the applicant's request for classification of the subject refinement plan amendment as a minor amendment. At this time, the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization was notified and responded with written comment. That letter is an attachment to this record. Timing of the applicant's reclassification request was felt to be appropriate based on necessary design and approval of the Barger-Beltline interchange by the Oregon Department of Transportation. However, the design was not finalized within the 90-day time line after the commission's consideration and the approval expired with an application not having been submitted. The applicant's representative, Mr. David Pedersen, resubmitted the request for classification of the proposed change to the refinement plan. On June 7, 1993, the Eugene Planning Commission again approved the classification of the refinement plan request as a minor amendment. On September 2, 1993, the application for an amendment to the Bethel Danebo Refinement Plan for the Barger-Beltline development node was submitted to the Permit and Information Center. On October 7, 1993, notice of the request was mailed to the interested parties list, including the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization; Greg Mott, Springfield Planning Department; Roy Burns, Lane County Planning Director; and the Oregon Department of Transportation. Also, on October 7, public hearing notice was mailed to owners and occupants within 400 feet of the affected area. written information was not received from the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization or from property owners in the vicinity of the request.
