The Plan promotes retention of natural drainage channels in the area to achieve multiple objectives. Policies in the plan encourage development practices and patterns that will result in improved water quality from storm water runoff, control erosion, provide numerous ecological and educational benefits, and reduced costs when constructing storm water management systems. Policy 31 (III- C -11): Site review criteria shall be applied to large vacant parcels on Gillespie Butte to protect vegetation and scenic values to the maximum extent practicable. The Plan includes a policy to insure that new development on Gillespie Butte will be reviewed under the new Gillespie Butte Site Development Standards, also included in the Plan. These standards are intended to afford increased protection to Gillespie Butte vegetation and scenic values. Policy 34 (III- C -11): Design and construction of new noise - sensitive devel- opment in the vicinity of existing and future streets and highways with po- tential to exceed general highway noise levels shall include consideration of mitigating measures, such as acoustical building modifications, noise barri- ers, and acoustical site planning. The application of these mitigating mea- sures must be balanced with other design considerations and housing costs. The Plan includes policies to require noise buffering and /or other noise attenuation features for all new residential development abutting I -105, Delta Highway, Beltline Road and I -5. The Plan also includes policies to ensure that noise attenuation features are provided along State high- ways when those facilities are improved. Policy 9 (III -D -5): The specific use management considerations and require- ments of statewide Goal 15, "Willamette River Greenway," shall be applied, where they are not specifically addressed in policy or land use designations elsewhere in this Plan, in local refinement plans and local implementing ordinances. The Plan creates specific Willamette River Greenway Management Standards for the area within the Greenway. These standards incorporate use man- agement criteria outlined in statewide Goal 15. Policy 11 (III -D -5): Eugene and Springfield shall continue to use the condi- tional use permit system to address the setback and vegetative fringe re- quirements of statewide Planning goal 15. Lane County shall address the setback and vegetative fringe requirements of Goal 15 in its Greenway imple- menting ordinance. The Willamette River Greenway Management Standards identified above will continue to be applied through the conditional use permit process. M
