ORDINANCE NO. 20628
AN ORDINANCE CLARIFYING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
APPROVED RIVERFRONT PARK PERMIT AND S-DR DOWNTOWN
RIVERFRONT CODE; AMENDING SECTION 9.3155 OF THE EUGENE
CODE, 1971; AND PROVIDING FOR AN IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE
DATE.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. On July 22, 2019, the Eugene City Council approved Ordinance No. 20619.
Section 3 of that Ordinance approved amendments to EC 9.3155(15), which regulates
development within view corridor areas of the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone.
Section 8 of that Ordinance approved /WR Water Resources Overlay Zone Standards
Review application No. SDR 19-2 for park areas within the Downtown Riverfront Special
Area Zone.
B. The City Council’s approval of SDR 19-2 as part of the same action that
approved the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone code amendments demonstrates
the City’s intent that the art pavilion described and depicted in the SDR 19-2 narrative
and site plans is permitted in the view corridor area extending from 5th Street as shown
in the approved plans without further need to demonstrate consistency with EC
9.3155(15).
C. The view corridor areas of the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone that
are within the /WR Water Resources Conservation Area are owned by the City of
Eugene for park purposes. Approval of a park building or structure within those areas
through the City’s standards review process as permitted by EC 9.4930(3) (“Uses
Subject to Standards Review within /WR Conservation Areas”) ensures that the building
or structure is consistent with the City’s protection measures for the Willamette River
and should also be a sufficient basis for allowing the building within a Downtown
Riverfront view corridor.
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subsection (15) of Section 9.3155 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is
amended to provide as follows:
9.3155S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone General Development
Standards (applicable to all property).
