EWEB DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT LAND USE COMPONENTS 5.0 APPROVAL CRITERIA AND STANDARDS The purpose of the proposal is to enable redevelopment of the Downtown Riverfront site consistent with the Master Plan vision, to create development standards and urban design guidelines that shape redevelopment, and to facilitate the transformation of the area into a “people place” that is active, vibrant, accessible and multi-use. The following actions are necessary to implement the land use components for the Downtown Riverfront. ▪ Amendments to the Metro Plan land use diagram to re-designate three (3) properties to Mixed Use Area designation and apply the Nodal Development Area Overlay designation to five (5) properties. ▪ Adoption of the Downtown Riverfront Specific Area Plan as a refinement plan, including a land use diagram and policies to establish the redevelopment vision. ▪ Amendments to the Eugene Downtown Plan text to remove Downtown Riverfront Policies 2 and 3 as the policies have been enacted and are now obsolete. ▪ Amendments to the Riverfront Park Study to EWEB Policies II.E.1, II.E.2, and II.E.3 as the policies are obsolete. ▪ Amendments to the land use code to establish the S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone, add the Downtown Riverfront Specific Area Plan as an adopted plan, and revise other development standards and criteria for consistency with the S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone. ▪ Re-zoning of sixteen (16) properties within the Downtown Riverfront site to S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone.
