The description and purpose section of the mixed-use district Section 9.476 of the Eugene Code] provides a very relevant statement of why consideration of a mixed-use designation is appropriate in this instance: "Due to historical development patterns, certain areas of the city are characterized by a mixture of uses such as residential and commercial uses or residential and industrial uses which are normally segregated under standard zoning districts. ~n some instances, provision for a continuation of a mixture of uses will serve bath the public interest and allow a more equitable balanc- ing of private interests than would utilization of a standard zoning district." The intent of this application is to recognize the historical usage of this property and .allow reasonable reuse of the substantial, nonresidential improvements that already exist. Relying on the mixed-use district approach allows that to happen without introducing the much broader range of uses that the standard zoning districts would entail. This application encompasses three components: 1. A change in the diagram designation applied to the subject property in the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan; 2. Text to be added to the Bethel-Danebo Refinement that describes the nature and purpose of this mixed-use area; and 3. A proposed mixed-use zoning district that would be applied to the pro- perty following approval of the refinement plan amendment. B.

The plan amendment is consistent with the Metropolitan Area general Plan; b. The plan amendment is consistent with remaining portions of the refinement plan; and c.
