Exhibit E <br />Eugene Downtown Plan (2004) <br />The Downtown Plan contains numerous policies supporting mixed use and density in downtown. The <br />Downtown Plan states that, "[w]ith the exception of Policy IV 3, relating to EWEB's riverfront <br />property, the policies in the Downtown Plan are aspirational, and cannot be the basis for denial of <br />public or private proposals regarding change in the downtown." Even though the policies are not <br />mandatory, it is worth noting that the proposal is consistent with the following policies: <br />1.2. Downtown development shall support the urban qualities of density, vitality, livability and <br />diversity to create a downtown, urban environment. <br />11.2. Use downtown development tools and incentives to encourage development that provides <br />character and density downtown. <br />V.1. Stimulate multi -unit housing in the downtown core and on the edges of downtown for a <br />variety of income levels and ownership opportunities. <br />The intent of the code amendments is to facilitate desired dense, mixed -use downtown development <br />by better aligning the land use code with desired outcomes. The code amendments address these <br />policies by providing additional flexibility for housing and downtown projects while still achieving an <br />equivalent or higher quality urban environment. <br />Jefferson Far West Refinement Plan (1983) <br />Although there are no policies in this refinement plan that directly address the amendments or <br />constitute mandatory approval criteria, the following policy in the Neighborhood Economic <br />Development Element of the plan lends general support for the amendments: <br />3.0 Take actions to continue to attract investment by the private sector in the central city. <br />Additionally, the following policies in the Commercial /Industrial Element lend general support for the <br />amendments: <br />1.0 Promote a mix of mutually supportive land uses which will help stimulate neighborhood- <br />based economics. <br />2.0 Encourage both public and private actions which will improve the overall appearance of <br />commercial areas and the condition of non - residential structures. <br />TransPlan (2002) <br />The applicable policies from TransPlan are addressed above, under the Metro Plan, as these plans <br />contain identical transportation policies.
