Item 1: Ordinance on EWEB Downtown Riverfront Property

Home Browse Search

EWEB DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT LAND USE COMPONENTS subject site is served by two major public storm drainage systems, a 60-inch pipe and a 36-inch pipe, and a minor public storm drainage system, a 12-inch pipe, as illustrated on Sheets S1 and S2 Existing Conditions Plans, which are anticipated to supply sufficient capacity to accommodate future development. Compliance with City stormwater destination standards in EC 9.6791 are not expected to be problematic as the 2002 City of Eugene Stormwater Basin Master Plan does not identify any specific capacity-related concerns with the public systems and the subject site is 16 generally designated as not having any major flooding problems. The proposed amendments and zone change do not affect the City’s arrangement of public facilities and services. The findings demonstrate that the existing level of public facilities and services is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future development. However, specific design details related to public improvements such as water, stormwater, and wastewater connections will be resolved in the context of any future development proposal. Based on these findings, the proposed amendments and zone change are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Goal 12 – Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Goal 12 is implemented by the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) as defined by Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0060. This proposal amends the Metro Plan, an acknowledged regional comprehensive plan; the Eugene Downtown Plan and the Riverfront Research Park Study, adopted refinement plans; and Eugene Land Use Code Chapter 9, which is the city’s guiding framework for land use regulation. OAR 660-012-0060 (1) Where an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation would significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility, the local government shall put in place measures as provided in section (2) of this rule to assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards (e.g. level of service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it would: (a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility (exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan); (b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or (c) As measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted transportation system plan: A. Allow land uses or levels of development that would result in types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; 16 City of Eugene Stormwater Basin Master Plan .
