will be allowed under the mixed-use zoning district for this area is significantly lower than the prior use of the property by Goodwill industries. The proposed dis- trict allows use of improvements that already exist on the property; yet ensure that continued nonresidential use of a portion of the property will be compatible with adjacent residential areas as required by these policies. ~b jective #$ of the Growth Management and the Urban Service Area Element of the Metropolitan Plan is also applicable: "Encourage development of suitable vacant, underdeveloped, and redevelop- able land where services are available, thus capitalizing on public expendi- tures already made for these services." page iI-B-3J Application for amixed-use designation to this property will allow reuse or redevelopment of improvements already located on the site where all necessary public facilities and services are provided. It will also facilitate development of presently undeveloped portions of the property with residential uses. These results are consistent with the purpose of the cited ab jective. The diagram of the Metropolitan Plan also recognizes the appropriateness of mixed-uses in certain areas otherwise designated for residential use. An amend- ment to the diagram of the Metrpolitan Plan is not necessary in this instance because of the small size of the area involved [i.e., less than five acres. In summary, the Metropolitan Plan recognizes that historical development patterns have resulted in a mixture of uses in certain areas. The Plan encourages cantinu- atian of that mixture when it will be compatible with adjacent residential .uses. This proposed amendment to the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan is consistent with applicable policy directives of the Metropolitan Plan. Section `9.Z45(Z)(b): ~'he plan amendment is consistent with the remaining portions o~ the re~itzement plan. The original Bethel-Danebo Neighborhood Refinement Plan Phase i~ was adopted in 1975. That plan was superceded by the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan Update, adopted an September l3, I982. The primary purpose of the 1982 update of the Bethel-Danebo Plan was to resolve issues or inconsistencies between the prior refinement plan and the [then] newly- adopted Metropolitan Plan. in keeping with that purpose, the land use element of the updated refinement plan focuses upon four areas: the Barger-Beltline develop ment node; the Royal-Danebo development node; the West Bethel-Danebo floating node; and the Bethel Triangle neighborhood. The area of the subject property is generally designated for Iow-density residential use in the Bethel-Danebo Refine- ment Plan. The only policy in the plan that appears to have any relevance to this amendment is Policy #I-a page 3~: "The following land use designations in the Eu ene-S rin field Metro olitan Area General Plan shall be maintained: law-density residential development in most of the plan area."
