Commercial: This designation on the Plan diagram i nc l udes only the first four categories: a. Major Retail Centers. Such centers normally have at least 25 retail stores, one or more of which is a major anchor department store, having at least 100,000 square feet of total floor space. They sometimes also include complimen- tary uses such as general offices and medium and high den- sity housing. Presently there are two such developed centers in the metropolitan area, the Eugene centea business district and Valley River Center. In Springfield, the developed Mohawk commercial area combined with the farmer al rport site constitutes a future major retail center. The undeveloped Springfield Airport site requires protection for this special- ized retail use because other opportunities within the metro- politan area are limited. b. community commercial Centers. This category i nc l udes more commercial a c t i v i t i e s than neighborhood commercial but less than major retail centers. Such areas usually develop around a small department store and supermarket. The development occupies' at least five acres and normal l_y not more than 44 acres. This category contains such general-activities as retail stores, personal services, f inanci -al , insurance, and real estate offices, private recreational facilities such as movie theaters, and tourist-related facilities such as motels., When this category is shown next to medium or high density residential, the two can be integrated into a single overall complex, local regulations permitting. c. Floating Node. An integrated medi.um-density residential and communit commercial scale dev.e l o.pment having good transpor- tation access. Where floating nodes are designated in other- wise low density residential neighborhoods , they reflect the energy and transportation. poli intent of the Plan for placing job and shopping opportunities in proximity to residence and where floating nodes are designated within low density resi- dential designations the intent of the floating node may be met in several, dispersed, neighborhood scale developments rather than one community commercial scale development. Exact location of floating-nodes should be determined by local decisions or a refinement planning process. II -E -4
