Section 19.
Section 9.2400of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows:
9.2400Purpose ofE-1Campus Employment Zone.
The purpose of theE-1Campus
Employment zone is to implement the Campus Industrial designation of the Metro
Planby providing large areas fora variety of light industrial and office-based
scientific, medical, research and development, or other professional firms to locate
in a campus-like setting. In general, this zone is designed for firms that will help
Ordinance -Page 12of 48
achieve economic diversification objectives and that typically have a large number
of employees per acre. The activities of such firms do not generate offensive
external impacts and usually do not tolerate substantial noise, pollution, or vibration
from surrounding uses. The “campus” setting is characterized by enhanced
landscaping, pedestrian amenities, and unique architectural design. Provision is
also made for small-scalecomplementary commercial uses that primarily serve
employees in the areaand arepreferably part of a mixed-use development.
Section 20.
Section 9.2405of the Eugene Code, 1971, is added to provide as follows:
9.2405Purpose of E-2 Mixed Use Employment Zone.
The purpose of the E-2 Mixed Use
Employment zone is to implement the Light-Medium Industrial designation of Metro
Plan by providing areas for a mixture of compatible employment opportunities –both
industrial, office, and commercial –that benefit from multi-modal transportation
access. The zone is generally sited along key transit corridors with existing
commercial and industrial businesses. It is intended to provide a wide range of
permitted uses, while creating a transit-supportive, pedestrian friendly corridor.
Section 21.
Section 9.2410of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows:
9.2410Purpose of I-2 Light-Medium Industrial Zone.
The purpose of the I-2 Light-
Medium Industrial zone is to implement the Light-Medium Industrial designation of
theMetro Planby providing areas to serve a wide variety of manufacturing and
other industrial activities with controlled external impacts in locations designated for
Light-Medium Industry in the Metro Plan. These types of industries are often
involved in the secondary processing of materials into components, the assembly of
components into finished products, transportation, communication and utilities,
wholesaling, and warehousing. The external impact from these uses is generally
less than Heavy Industrial, and transportation needs are often met by truck.
Activities are generally located indoors, although there may be some outdoor
storage. Supporting offices and small-scalecommercial usesthat serve employees
in the immediate area are permitted.
Section 22.
Section 9.2430of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows:
9.2430Employment andIndustrial Zone Siting Requirements.

Section 9.3900 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows:
9.3900Purpose of S-W Whiteaker Special Area Zone.
The purpose of the S-W
Whiteaker Special Area Zone is to encourage the economic vitality of the area for
employment andindustrial, institutional, and commercial uses while also allowing a
mix ofresidential dwellings. This zone has a broad range of permitted uses. No
single use is mandated or required within the area and the zone encourages both a
mixture of uses within a building as well as within a block. The mix of land uses and
increase in residential density and employment opportunities is designed to provide
a place for people to live and work in the same area. It is intended that the
character of the zone develop so that the diversity of uses are enhanced and tied
together with various forms of usable public and private open space where there is
pedestrian-oriented activity. Appropriate intermingling of structures, street
amenities, and major landscape features will be necessary in order to integrate
older development with newer development. Development within the zone will occur
incrementally over time and this zoning will help ensure a coordinated effort is
undertaken to improve the area by the public and private sectors. The S-W zone
is also designed to:
(1)
Encourage the continued economic vitality of existing and redeveloped
commercial and employment andindustrial uses with recognition of their role
in providing a needed diversity of land uses and job opportunities.
(2)
Encourage an increase in residential density to create additional opportunities
for people to live close to major employment areas.
(3)
Encourage actions that will enhance the attractiveness of the area and
increase the use of major landscape features that can help tie the public and
private open spaces together.
(4)
Encourage the preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration of significant
historic structures and retention of older, mature street trees.

Section 66.
Due to theCode amendmentsadopted by this Ordinance, it is necessary to
repeal Resolution No. 3862 and Resolution No. 3885.Therefore, Resolution No. 3862 and

Ordinance.
Section 67.
Based on the findings set forth in Exhibit C (attached hereto and adopted as
findings in support of this Ordinance), the following limitation on the use of the land referenced
in Section 1, above, is hereby imposed:
Development on individual lots within the E-1 Campus Employment zone and the West
Eugene study area, including E-2 Mixed Use Employment and C-2 Community
Commercial zones, is limited in intensity to that which results in an equivalent or lesser
number of maximum peak hour vehicle trips as that allowed bythe zoning designation
that preceded the zone changes adopted by this Ordinance. The maximum peak hour
vehicle trips are based on the Trip Generation Manual from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE).
The trip cap numbers are aggregate for all the affected lots; each individual lot is limited
at the time of development to the maximum peak hour vehicle trips allowedby the prior
zone designation of that lot. The aggregate vehicular trip cap within the West Eugene
study area is 4,960 trips. The aggregate vehicular trip cap for the three discrete E-1
