Policy 16 (III -A -6): Encourage location of nonresidential uses, such as neighborhood commercial and small -scale light industry, within residentially designated areas when those auxiliary uses are compatible with refinement plans, zoning ordinances, and other local controls for allowed uses in resi- dential neighborhoods. The Plan provides for the addition of approximately 25 acres of neigh- borhood commercial development in scattered future residential develop- ment sites throughout the planning area. The Plan also provides for the addition of approximately 80 acres of Special Light Industrial land adjacent to a large, undeveloped area designated for residential uses. These actions should promote a reduction in vehicle -miles traveled and an increase in alternate modes use as these areas develop. Policy 17 (III -A -6): Encourage a variety of new residential development in and near the downtown area. The Plan provides for an amendment to the Metro Plan to change the land use designation from Light Medium Industrial to High Density Residential for an area of approximately 70 acres within one mile of the greater downtown area which includes the Riverfront Research Park, the Universi- ty of Oregon, and Sacred Heart General Hospital. Policy 23 (III -A -6): Encourage increased residential density at various locations within cities by implementing programs, policies, and code modifi- cations that both establish minimum densities and allow maximum densities permitted by local or Metropolitan Area General Plan density categories in designated areas, when consistent with other planning policies. The Plan establishes minimum density standards for all medium and high - density residential development in the planning area. The Plan sets a minimum level of 10 DU /Acre for medium - density development and 15 DU /Acre for high- density residential development. Policy 30 (III -A -7): Encourage higher density residential development near industrial and commercial centers throughout the metropolitan area. The Plan proposes Metro Plan amendments to increase density levels in the Chase Gardens area near future industrial and commercial develop- ment; in the Willagillespie Road and Goodpasture Island Road areas, both of which are near Valley River Center commercial area; and in the Sheldon Plaza commercial area. Policy 34 (III -A -7): In newly developing areas, techniques such as planned developments shall be employed to achieve density assumptions of the Metro- politan Plan. Planned Unit Development procedures are required in the two largest remaining undeveloped residential sites in the planning area. Both -3-
