residential use based on the current zoning. This proposal balances the recommendations to maintain medium - density lands with Metro Plan and refinement plan policy to protect historic resources by separating the historic building from the surrounding land, preserving the resource while allowing the remainder of the land to develop as medium density. ( The uses and density that will be allowed by the proposed zoning in the location of the proposed change can be served through the orderly extension of key urban facilities and services. The minimum level of key urban facilities and services are defined in the Metro Plan and include wastewater service, stormwater service, transportation, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, City -wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and public schools on a district wide basis (Metro Plan page V -3). The findings related to this criterion on pages 8 -11 of the applicant's narrative describe the availability of each of these services and are incorporated herein by reference. Public Works referral comments confirm the availability of wastewater services, stormwater services and transportation facilities below. Wastewater service is provided to the existing structure on the subject property via an eight -inch public wastewater system located within the abutting River Road. The public system has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed uses. stormwater service could be provided for any future impervious surface area by a variety of on- site management techniques. As part of the previous land division (City file PT 09 -12 ), a conceptual development plan demonstrated the ability to comply with the City's stormwater development standards as follows: pollution- reduction of stormwater runoff by a manufactured treatment facility; detention of stormwater runoff via a flow- control mechanical structure; and overflow from these on --site facilities to the 48-;inch stormwater system located within the abutting River Road. Documentation from Lane County (June 4, 2008, Brad Lemhouse letter) regarding expectations and limitations of the River Road stormwater system,, located within their operating jurisdiction, confirms that controlled discharge to their specifications would be permissible. Transportation is provided by the property's frontage and driveway access on River Road. The segment of River Road adjacent to the subject property is classified as a major arterial and currently has 70 feet of paving within 100 feet of right -of -way abutting the subject property. The roadway is fully improved to urban standards, with two travel lanes in each direction, a center turn lane, bike lanes, setback sidewalks, street trees, and street lights. As an informational item, this segment of River Road is currently in Lane County's operational jurisdiction. As such, Lane county access management standards may apply to future development of the property. As part of the previous land partition, a deed restriction was established to provide an orderly extension of streets from the west (Hatton and Harvey Avenues) through adjacent lands (Parcel 1) and to the subject property (Parcel 2 ). The future extension of Hatton Avenue will provide street frontage to the subject property in the event that County access management guidelines require the closure of the existing driveway. In the interim, the existing driveway to the structure on the property may remain. Findings — Brunner Schmitz House (Z 10 -12) Page 6
