It ., b · In Eugene=protected wetlandsj wetland mitigation sites, and other significant wetlands; , · In Springfield=wetlands larger than 0.25 acre; · Land within easement of 230 KV powerlines; · Land within 75 feet of Class A stream or pond; · Land within 50 feet of Class B stream or pond; and · Small irregularly shaped lots were also subtracted from the total buildable land supply during the adjustment to the land supply." 3. The remaining land shown on the protected areas shapefile, after the areas considered unbuildable as described in step 2 were removed, were separated into residential. commercial and industrial land use categories based upon current zoning. , 4. Parcels zoned Agricultural on the protected areas shapefile were cross-checked against their Metro Plan designation. Those acres that were zoned Agricultural and designated residential were treated as if they were zoned Residential (71 acres). There were less than 0.2 acres designated for commercial. and no acres designated for industrial use. The remainder of the acres zoned Agricultural were designated for parks and open space use (31 acres). 5. Parcels zoned PL Public Land on the protected areas shapefile were cross-checked against rezoning applications processed since 1992, to determine how many of these acres were residentially zoned prior to being rezoned to Public Land. Tbis analysis showed that, while some of these acr~s had been zoned residential, they were within the Delta Ponds area and within Alton Baker Park, and therefore were treated as non-buildable for the purposes of this analysis. 6. Parcels zoned as special districts were evaluated to determine what land uses are allowed within the applied special district zoning in the areas on the protected areas shapefile.Two special districts were affected: S-CN Chase Node and S-RP Riverfront Park. a. In the Chase Node area, there were a total of 8.4 acres on the protected areas shapefile. Of these acres. 7.9 acres were designated for Parks and Open Space, and 0.5 acre for High Density Residential. For the buildable lands inventory impact acreage analysis, the HDR area was treated as if it were zoned for HDR. b. The Riverfront Park special area zone does not designate subareas with specific land uses as the Chase Node special area zone does c. . AlthOligh the area is designated "University Research" on the Metro Plan diagram, the Industrial 'Lands Study included the Riverfront Research Park site in its inventory of industrial sites. Therefore, the impact to buildable acres in this area was calculated. The 49 acres in the S.RP Riverfront Park zone that appear on the protected areas sbapefile include 27.7 acres within the WillameUe River itself. Removing those acres leaves 13.9 acres within tbe protected areas sbapefiIe that are zoned S-RP. Of these acres, approximately 4.1 acres are taken up by the existing 35 foot setback from the top . of bank of the Willamette River. Another 0.3 acres are within the 15 foot setback from the Mill Race. This leaves 9.5 acres zoned S-RP that could be developed with an industrial use. These 9.5 acres were treated as a subtraction from the special light industrial category, since the uses in the S-RP area most closely matcb the uses allowed in special light industrial (now called campus industrial). 7. The acreage of the areas remaining in the protected areas shapefile, in each land use category, were subtracted from the calculated supplies of commercial, industrial and residential land.
