from the reduced parking allowances. M Prior to April 30, 201 city staff shall provide a report to the Planning Commission which evaluates the Fairmount Neighbors Event Parking District created pursuant to the Octo- ber, 2008, Arena Mitigation Agreement ( "Parking District "). The staff report shall evaluate whether that Parking District is an adequate and appropriate mechanism to protect the Fairmount neighborhood from potential impacts from reduced parking allowances in the S -WS Walnut Station Special Area Zone and shall recommend alternative measures if the evaluation determines the Parking District is inadequate or inappropriate. I n preparing the report, city staff shall consult with representatives of the Fairmount Neighbors Association and the University of Oregon. (I) The city shall update the good Agate Street and Fairmount Neighborhood Traffic Calming Study ( "Study ") to add mitigation measures that address the impacts I i kely to occur to the Fairmount neighborhood as a result of development /redevelopment within the S -WS Wal- nut Station Special Area Zone. City staff evaluation and identification of these mitigation measures for the Study update shall commence within two years of the date on which the City Council's adoption of the S -WS Walnut Station Special Area Zone becomes effective. The final Study update shall be forwarded to the City Council within three years of that effective date. Mitigation measures included in the updated Study shall be implemented, along with any other measures deemed necessary by the city, as development and associ- ated impacts occur, through the city's development and building permit approval process and/or the city's annual Capital Improvement Program. In preparing the report, city staff shall consult with representatives of the Fairmount Neighbors Association and the Univer- sity of Oregon. (m) When the City engages in detailed development of the multiway boulevard, traffic and parking spillover impacts on the Fairmount neighborhood shall be evaluated. {n} The City shall develop strategies to address the need to provide clear and easy access to businesses along the Franklin Boulevard mult1way boulevard and address any loss of off- street parking spaces resulting from its construction. (o) As part of an application to develop the lands formerly owned by the Department of Transportation (south of Franklin Boulevard, east of Walnut Street and north of 15th Av- enue), the developer shall demonstrate that consideration was given to realigning the 15th Avenue bicycle path in the vicinity of those lands and making it more attractive. (Note: if the bicycle path is realigned, the City shall require an easement for the path to ensure its permanence in the future.) (p) As part of an application to develop a property south of Franklin Boulevard or a property in the block on the north side of Franklin Boulevard between Moss Street, Villard Street, and Garden Avenue within the Walnut Station Specific Area Plan, applicants are encouraged to include access for pedestrians, bicycles and limited vehicular access consistent with the Transportation Features map shown as Figure 9.3978(3 )(b) in the Walnut Station Special Area Zone. (q) In prioritizing the need for future park land within the Walnut Station ///Mixed Use Center, the City should consider the relative density of residential development, in addition to walking distance to parks, as a factor. (r) Due to the expected increase in residential density and lack of access to existing neighbor- hood parks, there is a goal of establishing a new neighborhood park for this area. Staff will work with landowners to find a suitable site of appropriate size and configuration for a new neighborhood park on the north side of Franklin Boulevard in the Walnut Station Specific Area Plan. (s) Due to the uncertainty surrounding the future of the water in the Millrace, the City should complete a comprehensive study of the Millrace prior to decisions being made regarding its use as a park or other amenity, or before regulations related to development along the millrace are adopted or amended. Chapter 2 describes the process through which information from the emerging Walnut Station vision was taken forward and refined into what became the final shared vision for the area. Chap- ter 3 provides details on how the development patterns and land use concerns were addressed r�� of
