MWMC FACILmES PLAN Noise Noise from the exist~g £ac~ties does not appear to be a significant ~ssue in the areas surrounding the WPCF. According to results of the Wastewater Facffities Good Neighbor Survey, performed by the Oregon Survey Research Laboratory at the University of Oregon as noted above, 65 percent of the residents in the vicinity of the WPCF rate the W?CF as a good or excellent neighbor. An additional 16 percent rate the WPCF as a fair neighbor. (The overall good-neighbor rating o£ the WPCF considers the residents' attitudes about the facffity's appearance, odors, traffic, noise, and use of chemicals.) 2.2.9 Land Use and Zoning The MWMC savJtary system and major ~reabx~ent facilities are located throughout the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. These facffities are situated in numerous zoning designations within the urban growth boundary (UGB) and on adjacent lands Lmmediately outside the boundary. However, to describe all of the various zoning designations occupied by MWMC infrasb~uc~ure would be overly complex and beyond the scope of ff~s discussion. Therefore, to simplify the description, the discussion is ILrnited to the following major facilities that would be subject to potential expansion: Eugene-Springfield Water Pollution Control Facility Biosolids Management Facility-Exclusive Farm Use Seasonal Industrial Waste Site-Exclusive Farm Use Biocycle Farm-Exclusive Farm Use; Industrial All four of the facilities are located in central Lane County in the northwest section of the City of Eugene (Figure 2.2.9-1). The area surrounding the WPCF is urban, with high to medium population density. The areas around the other facilities are more rural with low population density. The following ~ect~or~s srrmmar~e land use and zorL~g de$ignatio~ for areas adjacent to each of the four facLl~ties: , The WPCF is located within the UGB of Eugene-Springfield near Beltline Highway and along the Willamette River. The facffity is zoned as Public Land, the areas to the south are zoned Agricultural with an Urbanizable Land overlay zone and Low-Density Residential with an Urbanizable Land overlay zone, the area to the west is zoned Medium-Density Residential, the areas to the north are zoned Community Corrrmercial and Light-Medium Industrial with Urbar~abte Land overlay zone, and the area to the East is zoned as Medium-Density Residential with a Planned Unit Development overlay zone. The Biosolids Management FacLlity is located outside but adjacent to the UGB of Eugene-Springfield. The facility is zoned as Exclusive Farm Use 40 Acre Minimum. Adjacent land use is designated as Rural Residential 5 Acre ~um and Exclusive Farm Use 40 Acre MInimum to the west, Rural Industrial and Exclusive Farm Use 30 Acre Minimum to the east, and Light-Medium Industrial with UrbanLzable Land and Commercial ALrport Safety overlay zones inside the UGB to the south. 2-28 MWMC._20_REV23.DOC
