ORDINANCE NO. _________ AMENDING THE EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN AREA GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM; AMENDING THE SOUTH WILLAMETTE SUBAREA PLAN DIAGRAM AND TEXT; AND AMENDING THE EUGENE ZONING MAP. THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Metro Plan Diagram land use designation for the property located at 2440 Willamette Street and 8-03-06-41, Tax Lot 3100 is amended from High Density Residential to the Commercial land use designation, as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Section 2. The South Willamette Subarea Study is amended as follows: A. Recommendations 4 and 5 on pages 7 - 8 of the Study are revised as follows: Except for the area described in Recommendation 9, 4) th c Commercial or office zoning along Willamette between 19 and th 24 Place should not be expanded. The area should appropriately remain in residential uses as it is designated in the Metro Plan Diagram. The traffic volumes projected for a two-way Willamette in this section are approximately 12,000 vehicles per day, an increase of 4,400. This level of traffic is lower than several other arterial thth streets which are primarily residential: 18 Avenue, 11 Avenue between downtown and Garfield Street, and Patterson south of th 24. Staff feels that the projected increase in traffic volumes does not support the conversation of residential to office or commercial uses. Except for the area described in Recommendation 9, i 5) In recognition of existing mix of low, medium and high density residential uses and the current zoning on the west side of thth Willamette between 19 Avenue and 24 Place, this study recommends that the Metro Plan Diagram be refined to reflect a high density residential designation on parcels currently zoned R-3 in the area. B. Add a new Recommendation 9 to page 8 of the Study as follows: Ordinance - Page 1 of 2
