For nearly 40 years the Skipworth juvenile detention facility has been located on the property. The juvenile justice uses in conjunction with Skipworth are consistent with the underlying Public Land zoning district, "Community resource centers owned by public agencies" [EC Section 9.402~b}] and "Public buildings and uses" [EC Section 9.4oZ~c}] are permitted uses in the PL Public Land District, and the property will continue in government ownership and use. The property's overall PL zoning district and its split Plan designations creates a difference between the zoning map and the Metro Plan diagram. This can be resolved through approval of the amendment to redesignate the western portion of the property, south of the Q Street Channel, from Commercial to Government and Education on the Metro Plan diagram. As cited under EC 9.1253}~a} above, the amendment requested is consistent with adopted functional refinements to the Metro Plan, including TransPlan ~195~}, the Eugene Commercial Lands Study (1992}, and the Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan X1959}. Since the amendment is consistent with adopted functional refinements to the Metro Plan and there are no text references to the Skipworth property in the Metro Plan, the amendment will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. EC 9.13G ~4} When a Metro Plan amendment is enacted that requires an amendment to a refinement plan or functional plan diagram or map for consistency, the Metro Plan amendment automatically amends the refinement plan or functional plan diagram or map if no amendment to the refinement plan or functional plan text is involved. There are no text references to the Commercial designated portion of the property in the Willakenzie Area Plan applicable refinement plan} or any applicable functional plan ~TransPlan, Eugene Commercial Lands Study, Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan}, so the amendment does not require any text changes to the refinement plan or any functional plans. The proposed amendment applies only to the Metro Plan diagram, and to the Willakenzie Area Plan land use diagram and Ferry Street Bridge subarea map, The proposed Metro Plan amendment meets the criteria specified in EC 9.1364} and will automatically amend the Willakenzie Area Plan land use diagram and Ferry Street Bridge subarea map to maintain consistency between the Metro Plan and the refinement plan. Conclusion and Recommendation Based on the findings contained in this staff report, staff concludes that the proposed Metro Plan diagram amendment and concurrent automatic amendment to the Willakenzie Area Plan are consistent with the approval criteria and recommends: Planning Division Staff Report - MA 97-1 ~uiy 1,1997 Page 11
