Site Review required. The WEWSAS is nearing completion. Policies and direction from that study should be adopted by June, 1991. They may recommend protection of additional wetlands tied to the Bertelsen Slough-Stewart Pond system, specific waterside protection regulations, and preservation of additional wetland acreage and a related buffer on the Stewart Road site. In the meantime, when the Stewart Road site is rezoned I-2, Light-Medium Industrial, an SR, Site Review, subdistrict should be attached to protect the Bertelsen Slough-Stewart Pond system on Tax Lot 32aU. Section 9.68$ of the Eugene Cade, 1971 lists criteria to be used when applying the SR subdistrict. To be approved, development plans would have to satisfy those criteria. Criterion 3 requires due consideration for the preservation of attractive and distinctive historical and natural features. Attaching SR and specifically referencing criterion 3 would allow the City to direct specific attention to preservation of natural features, including wetlands.. Wetlands also will be protected through application of federal law. There are no inventoried scenic or historic resources at the Stewart Road site. Goal G -.Air V~'ater and Land Resources uali .This goal requires that the State's air, water and land resources be maintained and improved through planning for and enforcement of appropriate discharge standards. Eugene's comprehensive plan and zoning requirements and related regulations regarding discharge of contaminants and pollutants are the same far the existing Special Light Industrial Plan designation as they would be for the proposed Light-Medium Industrial designation.. Therefore, this amendment will not reduce those re uirements ar com liance with Goal 6. q p Goal 7 -Areas Sub'ect to Natural Disasters and Flazards. This goal requires that in areas of natural hazards, such as landslides and floods, developments must incorporate appropriate safeguards. The potential wetland at the southwest corner of the Stewart Road site is in the 1U~ year flood plain, If the wetland is miti aced g to allow development, it will have to occur one foot above the floodplain level. That should not be a problem in this location, Goal $ -Recreational Needs. This goal requires planning for recreation areas, facilities, and opportunities in appropriate proportions and in such quanti and .. ~ locations as ~s consistent with the ava~lab~lzty of resources, Requiring SR, Site Review, approval for all development on the site should assure that the location's unique recreational opportunity as it relates to Bertelsen Slough-Steward Pond is not compromised. Goal. 9 -Economic Development. This goal requires that local laps rovide • .. p p adequate econam~c opportunities by, 1n part, including a sufficient sup l of sites • py far commercial and industrial uses. Current studies rnd~cate that of the approximately 1,SaD acres of undeveloped land designated for industrial use in west Eugene, at least 74~ acres are wetlands with inherent develo meet limitations p Attachment B - 2
