~~ 4 4 that district would create several problems such as the following: 1. Use of the ~-2 district would open the potential f ar a much broader range of retail uses than called for the proposed text amendment to the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan. There would be no way to limit the types of uses that could occur with C-2 zoning under current prove- d ures, ~. Many of the uses in the C-2 district would be inappropriate on this site, granted the size of the site and the close proximity of existing resi- dences. Application of a mixed-use zoning designation provides the mast effective way of controlling undesirable uses and consequent impact on the surrounding area. Section 9.478(f ): 2"he uses to be permitted and the development standards to be applied in the district will be cor~sister~t with the criteria required for approval o f a conventional zone change. Section 9.b7S of the Eugene Code lists three criteria to be considered when approving a zone change: 1. Section 9.678(2)(a) requires that the uses to be allowed under the rezoning can be served by the extension of key urban facilities and services and that the uses be consistent with principles of compact and sequential growth. The subject property is already served with key urban facilities and services. The uses to be allowed under the proposed mixed-use district are essentially the same as those permitted under the existing zoning with same additional office functions. The existing f acilitie~ are adequate to serve allow of the uses that will be allowed. The proposed development standards are either the same or mare stringent than the development standards imposed under conventional zoning districts. The standards do not allow a more intensive type of development than is possible under conventional districts; consequently, no greater demand for facilities and services is created by the development standards. One of the primary objectives of the proposed mixed-use district is to allow redevelopment and reuse of this property. That result is fully consistent with the principles of compact and sequential growth which emphasize use and reuse of property that already has services available. 2. Section 9.6782}fib} requires a determination that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Metropolitan Phan. As noted previously, policies in the Metropolitan Plan support mixed-use development under certain circumstances. 3. Section 9.6782}~c} requires a determination that the proposed rezoning is consistent with adopted refinement plans, special area studies, and Application for Amendment to the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan, Page ~0 of 11.
