(TDM) Plan which includes traffic control plans, and an event parking district was created that implements a residential parking permit program for the Fairmount Residential area during arena events. If mitigation is found to be insufficient, the agreement may be modified to address these issues. In this manner, adverse effects related to arena specific events can be addressed. Given the findings above, the proposal is consistent with this policy. Traffic Circulation Policy 9 (As added on Page 4 of Ordinance 20312 and renumbered as Traffic Circulation Policy 7 by Ordinance 20460) With the exception of alleys, vacations of streets within the state approved University East Campus boundary should not be permitted, unless the applicant, at his or her expense, provides to the City a local street connection study that demonstrates how the proposed street system remaining after such vacation meets the intent of the Eugene Code Street connectivity provisions and that such vacation will not increase traffic volumes on local residential streets. The applicant provided a local street connectivity study prepared by Branch Engineering. The study addresses Eugene Code street connectivity provisions found at EC 9.6815. The study concludes that after the street vacation, the street system will meet the intent of the street connectivity provisions. Additionally, the local street study notes that the vacation of Moss Street will not increase traffic volumes in the surrounding neighborhoods consistent with this policy. Parking Policy 1 (Page 45 Fairmount SAS) Steps shall be taken to gain better use of existing off-street parking areas and to discourage long-term storage of vehicles on the street. As proposed, the vacation will allow the University to create additional off-street parking areas as once under private ownership the spaces will not be considered on-street spaces. The creation of additional parking spaces will increase the overall availability of off-street parking in the area, consistent with this policy. Parking Policy 3 (Page 45 Fairmount SAS) The adverse effects of motor vehicle storage shall be mitigated as much as possible. As noted above, the vacation will allow the University to create additional off-street parking areas and combined with the parking district in the nearby residential areas will help to discourage long- term storage of vehicles, consistent with this policy. Parking Policy 4 (As amended on Page 4 of Ordinance 20312) Parking Systems adopted for any area within the Special Area Study should avoid creating parking problems for any other area or land use of the Fairmount Neighborhood by mitigating parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood as directed by the City. The request does not include the adoption of a parking system. To the extent this policy is Exhibit C: Findings Page 5
