relates to a statewide goal; or 4. A change ~n public policy. -~ Because this application involves establishment of a mixed-use district, the following criteria from Section 9.478 of the Eugene Code are also addressed: a. The area to be classified as an MU Mixed-Use District includes the equivalent of at least one standard city black ~e.g., 32Q' x 3~0'}. b. A special study of the area has been completed showing how the pro- posed MU Mixed-Use District uses will be compatible with one another, will provide a functional and healthful environment, and will be integrated with the surrounding area. c.

The existing development has occurred over a period of years and is characterized by a mixture of uses. e. The uses and development standards of conventional residential, com- mercial, or industrial zoning districts are not capable of or suitable for promoting the internal compatibility and integration with the surround- ing area prescribed by area special study. f. The uses to be permitted and the development standards to be applied in the district will be consistent with the criteria required for approval of a conventional zone change. C.
