Policy 18 (III -B -6): Review local ordinances and revise them to promote greater flexibility for promoting appropriate commercial development in resi- dential neighborhoods. The Plan proposes the creation of a new zoning district to allow the development of residential /mixed use districts in areas where they do not currently exist. The intent is, in part, to review compatibility standards which might increase flexibility for siting and developing commercial uses in residential neighborhoods. The Plan also proposes amendments to the Eugene Code to ensure compatibility between uses, an effort that could also result in greater flexibility for appropriate commercial development in residential areas. Policy 26 (III -B -6): Encourage the expansion of redevelopment of existing neighborhood commercial facilities as surrounding residential densities in- crease or as the characteristics of the support population change. The Plan proposes the expansion of Neighborhood Commercial uses in the the Coburg- Crescent commercial area, in the Sheldon Plaza area, and in the County Farm Loop area. The Plan also anchors the Floating Nodes in the Metro Plan with Neighborhood Commercial designations in the Ayres Road and County Farm Loop areas. Policy 27 (III -B -6): The City of Eugene shall initiate refinement plans to determine the type and location of commercial and residential land uses in floating nodes prior to the update of the Metropolitan Plan. The Plan anchors the Floating Node identified in the Metro Plan with 5 acres of Neighborhood Commercial and 30 acres of Medium Density Residen- tial in the Opportunity Area A. Policy 20 (III -C -9): In order to improve water quality and quantity in met- ropolitan area, local governments shall consider developing reguilations or instituting programs to: a. increase public awareness of techniques and practices private individu- als can employ to help correct water quality and quantity problems; b. improve management of industrial and commercial operations to reduce negative water quality and quantity impacts; C. regulate site planning for new development and construction to better control drainage and erosion and to manage storm runoff; d. increase storage and retention of storm runoff to lower and delay peak storm flows; e. utilize natural and simple mechanical treatment systems to provide treatment for contaminated runoff waters; f. reduce street - related water quality and quantity problems; g. minimize use of toxic substances; . h. minimize the negative effects of chemical and petroleum spills. -5-
