r,,,~.` tT~. } The Eugene Zoning Code allows the establishment of a Mix-Use zoning district upon meeting the factors as outlined in the code and a finding of consistency with local adapted plans and policies. The above policy appears to support the use of the mixed-use zoning tool far a situation such as this property. The traditional RA and R-I law-density residential zoning is very limited in allowing the reuse of this property efficiently using-the existing nonresi- dential buildings in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding resi- denti al area. = Overall, it is the conclusion of the staff that the Metropolitan Area General Plan provides palicy direction for considering a mixed-use designation for this property due to the unique history of nonresidential uses on the site and mixture of buildings and uses on the property; Section 9.145~2~~b~: The plan amendment is consistent with remaining partions of the refinement plan Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan The Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan is the governing plan for this area. Zt was originally adopted in I975 and amended in I982 by the City Council. The area of this request is shaven on the plan diagram on page 6 and is designated far low-density residential development as is mast of the surrounding area bordered by Highway 99 an the east, Beltline Road on the west, Barger an the north, and Roosevelt Boulevard to the south. There is no reference to the previous uses of this property by Goodwill In- dustries or any other special mention of this site in the plan text. other partions of the Bethel-Danebo area are addressed specifically, such as the Bethel Triangle area, and development Hades at Barger and Beltline roads and at Royal and Danebo avenues. The General Land Use palicy on page 3 of the Bethel-Danebo plan provides only general direction and is as follows: Pow i~ . I. The following land use designations in the Eugene-Springfield Metropoli- tan Area General P1 an shat l be maintained: a. low-density residential development in most of the plan area; b. a commercial node on Highway 99 North and three commer- ci al/residenti al development nodes i n the plan area; c. medium density residential development around Highway 99 North commercial node and the three development nodes. ~n conclusion, the Bethel-Danebo Refinement~Flan provides no specific policy direction that addresses this request specifically. ~n~general, low-density residential development is planned for most of the plan area. Converting approximately 4.74 acres to mixed use will not significantly depart from the overall land use pattern. Therefore, the request does not appear to be con- trary to any portion of the plan text or diagram. STAFF NOTES--Eugene Planning Commission January 22, I99I Page 4
