REVISIONS TO THE DRAFT WILLAKENZIE AREA PLAN
The revisions listed below include those recommended and approved by the
Eugene City Council on June 8, 1992. Additions to the plan are shown with
underlines; deletions are shown with <brackets >.
Land Use Element
1. (Willakenzie Land Use Diagram) Amend the Final Draft version of the
Willakenzie Land Use Diagram adding a line to the map to indicate the
location of the Willamette River Greenway. This would allow the user to
see the location of the Greenway relative to the underlying land use
designation.
2. (Page 16, General Residential Policies and Proposed Actions) Add the
following policy and proposed action; renumber subsequent policies and
proposed actions as necessary:
2. Require new medium density residential development in the
Willakenzie area to achieve a minimum density level of 10
dwelling units per acre and new high density residential de-
velopment to achieve a minimum density level of 15 dwelling
units per acre. If a future citywide code amendment estab-
lishes different minimum density levels than are established
in this plan, the levels established in the code will take
precedence, except in the Chase Gardens High Density Residen-
tial area. Development in this area shall achieve a minimum
density level of no less than 15 dwelling units per acre.
2.1 Amend the Eugene code to establish minimum density re-
quirements for medium and high density residential devel-
opment within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. The
suggested minimum density requirements are 10 DU /Acre for
areas designated Medium Density Residential and 15
DU /Acre for areas desiqnated Hiqh Density Residential.

4.
(Page 17, General Commercial and Industrial Policies) Delete Policy #4,
as follows:
<4. Neighborhood Commercial zoning shall be restricted to only those
areas specifically designated for Neighborhood Commercial uses in
the plan's policies or land use diagram.>
(Page 21 - Gilham Subarea) Insert the word "vehicular" in the second
sentence of Policy 1 so that the sentence reads,
"1. In the event that redevelopment of the site occurs, vehicular
access to the medium- density development shall be limited to the
northeastern end of the site, across Goodpasture Island Road from
Ridgeway Drive."
5
(Page 23 - Gilham Subarea) Insert the words "pedestrian and bicycle" in
proposed action 1.3 so that the sentence reads:
"1.3 Provide for public pedestrian and bicycle access between
future medium - density residential uses and Bond Lane Park.
RE
(Page 23 - Gilham Subarea) Add the following to Policy 3:
3. The City shall recognize the Meadowlark School site (Tax Lot 2200 --
Assessor's Map 17- 03- 20 -1 -0) as depicted on the Willakenzie Land
Use Diagram, as being appropriate for low- density residential land
use. The change does not imply that the property is available for
low density residential development but is intended to control the
use of the property in the event that it is no longer used as a
school site.
7. (Page 25 - Sheldon Subarea Map) The first four parcels on the north
side of the street at the intersection of Adkins and Coburg Road
(Map # 17- 03- 21 -20, Tax Lots 1906, 1907, 1908, and 1909) are mistakenly
shown as low density residential. The Willakenzie Land Use Diagram
indicates that two of the parcels are medium density residential and
that two are low density residential - in fact, all four are zoned R -2.
Correct the Willakenzie Land Use Diagram and Sheldon Subarea map to show
a medium density residential designation on Map 17- 03- 20 -20, Tax Lots
1906, 1907, 1908 and 1909. (See Attachment A)
8. (Page 25 - Sheldon Subarea Map) Amend the Willakenzie Land Use Diagram
and Sheldon Subarea Map to show a commercial designation on Tax Lots
2800, Assessors Map 17- 03 -20 -1 0. (See Attachment B)
-2-
9. (Page 27 - Sheldon Subarea) Policy # 9 is missing the phrase that pro-
vides for recognition of the area as appropriate for commercial develop-
ment. The policy is also missing the proposed action that would trigger
a Metro Plan amendment. Change the policy, and add a corresponding
Proposed Action, as indicated below:
"9. The City shall recognize the area on the north side of Cal
Young Road, west of Sheldon Plaza (tax lots 4412 and 4413 and
the easterly portion of 4409 -- Assessors Map 17- 03- 20 -10) as
depicted on the Willakenzie Land use Diagram, and as refined
by Inset Map A, <is> as being appropriate for commercial de-
velopment and shall further recognize that those parcels be
limited to General Office zoning.
9.1 Amend the Metro Plan Diagram from a medium density resi-
dential to a commercial designation for the above- refer-
enced area."
10. (Page 27 - Sheldon Subarea) Policy # 10 is missing the same phrase and
proposed action which would recognize the subject lots as commercial and
trigger a Metro Plan amendment to a commercial designation. Change the
policy, and add the corresponding Proposed Action, as indicated below:
"10. The City shall recognize the area on the south side of
Willakenzie Road, west of Sheldon Plaza (tax lots 4400 and
4411 -- Assessor's Map 17- 03- 20 -10) as depicted on the
Willakenzie Land Use Diagram, and as refined by Inset Map A,
<is> as being appropriate for commercial development and shall
further recognize that those parcels be limited to Neighbor-
rciai zoning.
10.1 Amend the Metro Plan from a medium density residential to
a commercial designation in the above - referenced area."
11. (Page 30 - Harlow Subarea) Delete the reference to the tax lots in
Policy #3 so that the policy reads as follows:
"3. The City shall recognize that the area on the east side of
Coburg Road and east of the Chambers Communication commercial
parcels <tax lots 11900, 12000, 12100, and 12200 -- Assessor's
Map 17- 03- 16 -33> shall be considered appropriate for low -den-
sity residential development."
12. (Page 31 - Oakway Subarea) Delete the phrase "The City should" from
Proposed Action 3.1.
"3.1 <The City should> Apply the SR Site Review suffix to all
parcels having frontage on Oakway Road between Eastwood Lane
and Fairway Loop to address compatibility and access con-
cerns."
-3-
13. (Page 37, Willagillespie Subarea Map and Page 39, Inset map B) change
the maps to show a medium - density residential designation on Tax Lots
1001 and 1100, Assessor's Map 17- 03- 19 -30. (See Attachment C)
14. (Page 39, Willagilespie Subarea) Delete Policy #7 and Proposed Action
7.1 as follows:
<7. The City shall recognize the area along the west side of
Willagillespie Road, between Robin Hood Avenue and the Delta High-
way interchange as depicted on the Willakenzie Land Use Diagram
(and as refined by Inset map B,) as being appropriate for commer-
cial development. Tax Lots 1001 and 1100 -- Assessor's Map
17- 03 -19 -3 0 shall be limited to Neighborhood Commercial zoning.
The ARea extending 150 feet in a westerly direction from
Willagillespie Raod shall be limited to General Office zoning.
Site review procedures shall be attached to the area limited to
General Office zoning in order to address access and compatibility
concerns.>
<7.1 Amend the Metro Plan Diagram from a low density residential to
a commercial land use designation for the above - referenced
area, as depicted on the Willakenzie Land Use Diagram (and as
refined by Inset Map B.)>
15. (Page 40 - Willagillespie Subarea) Add the following to policy 10:
10. The City shall recognize the Willagillespie School site (Tax Lot
2900 -- Assessor's Map 17- 03- 19 -3 -0), as depicted on the
Willakenzie Land Use Diagram, as being appropriate for medium -den-
sity residential land use. The change does not imply that the
property is available for medium density residential development
but is intended to control the use of the property in the event
that it is no lonqer used as a school site.
16. (Page 40 - Willagillespie Subarea) Add the following policy to those
for the Willagillespie Subarea:

11. The City shall consider the Marist High School site (Tax Lot 1801,
1803, and 1702 -- Assessor's Map 17- 04 -13 -0 0) as being appropriate
for medium - density residential development. The change does not
imply that the property is available for medium density residential
development but is intended to control the use of the property in
the event that it is no longer used as a school site.
18. (Page 49 and 51- Delta Subarea) The eastern boundary of the Delta Sub-
area south of Green Acres Road is incorrect. The boundary was created
to show the division between residential parcels and commercial parcels.
In fact, the four parcels on the west side of Tabor Street should be
designated Commercial as they are zoned GO. Change the subarea boundary
to incorporate these four tax lots in the Delta Subarea Map and to re-
move the same four tax lots from the North Central Subarea Map.
Attachment D)
19. (Page 50 - North Central Subarea) Amend Proposed Action 1.1 to reflect
a change in the size of the proposed Medium Density Residential designa-

tional 10 acres designated for Medium Density Residential land use in
the area south of Ayres Road and west of Gilham Road. (See Attachment
E)
21. (Page 53 - Unincorporated Subarea map) Change the map to show an addi-
tional 20 acres designated for Medium Density Residential land use. The
map change should allocate 5 acres to the Medium Density Residential
area in Opportunity Area "A" north of Ayres Road at the North Delta
Highway intersection, 5 acres to the Medium Density Residential area in
Opportunity Area "B ", and 10 acres to the proposed Medium Density Resi-
dential area west of County Farm Loop and east of Gilham School. (See

EXHIBIT C
WILLAKENZIE AREA PLAN CONSISTENCY WITH
EUGENE - SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN AREA GENERAL PLAN
Fundamental Principles:
Fundamental Principle 1 provides for a comprehensive metropolitan -scale plan-
ning framework within which more detailed refinement plans are prepared. The
Willakenzie Area Plan is a refinement plan that provides more detailed analy-
sis and direction than is provided in the Metro Plan.
Fundamental Principle 2 provides for cooperative planning by all governmental
jurisdictions within the larger community. Many agencies and governmental
jurisdictions were directly involved in the preparation and review of the
Willakenzie Area Plan. Among the jurisdictions involved were: the Eugene
Water and Electric Board, School District 4 -J, Lane County, the City of
Springfield, Lane Council of Governments, the State of Oregon Department of
Transportation, the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority, and the Lane Tran-
sit District.
Fundamental Principle 3 requires urban development to occur in a compact
configuration within the UGB. The Willakenzie Area Plan promotes a compact
urban growth form with the inclusion of a policy to require minimum density
levels for medium and high density residential development, proposals for
residential / mixed use development in several areas, limited expansion of
commercial development in the area, recognition of the infill potential on
the many large developed lots in.the area, proposals and project to increase
the utilization of transit facilities in the area, and other concepts consis-
tent with a compact growth scenario.
Fundamental Principle 6 indicates that Eugene and Springfield are the logical
providers of services within the UGB. The Willakenzie Area Plan addresses
the provision of urban services to underdeveloped areas within the city lim-
its as well as to the nearly 1000 acres of urbanizable land lying between the
city limits and the UGB. The Plan provides for the extension of storm water
and sanitary sewers; transportation facilities; fire, police and emergency
medical services; park and recreation facilities; and other key urban servic-
es to all areas within Eugene's portion of the UGB.
Fundamental Principle 7 indicates that the Metro Plan was developed to serve
a projected population of nearly 300,000 people. The projected population of
the Willakenzie planning area is more than 50,000. The Plan provides for a
land use pattern, transportation system, and public infrastructure to accom-
modate that portion of the population that lives and works in the Willakenzie
area.
-1-
Policies:
Policy 1 (III -A -4): Coordinate new residential development with the provi-
sion of an adequate level of services and facilities, such as sewers, water,
transportation facilities, schools and parks.
The Willakenzie Plan considered the projected increases in population
and development in the area. Detailed analysis was conducted on storm
and sanitary sewer capacities in the area to determine the adequacy of
those systems; transportation systems improvements are based on the
projected population increases as well as planned increases to the sup-
ply and changes to the location of commercial, industrial and higher -
density residential development; school and park system improvements are
also based on increased demand on those systems.
Policy 3 (III -A -4): Increase the supply of land zoned for low -, medium -, and
high- density residential uses correlating the amount zoned with the projec-
tions of demand.
Supplies of medium density residential land had declined in the area in
the years preceding the development of this plan. A careful analysis
was conducted on the causes and extent of the decline leading to propos-
als to increase the supply of medium and high density residential land
to levels anticipated in the Metro Plan.
Policy 12 (III -A -5): Promote compatibility between residentially zoned land
and adjacent areas.
The Plan contains proposals to: 1) require Planned Unit Development
approval on two of the largest remaining undeveloped residential sites
in the planning area; 2) require Site Review on a large undeveloped site
near the city center, in part, to promote compatibility between existing
and proposed uses; 3) promote compatibility between low- density and
higher- density uses and to apply Site Review to parcels designated medi-
um or high- density residential land when those parcels abut low- density
uses; and 4) to retain existing vegetation, to the greatest extent pos-
sible, to provide buffering between residential and non - residential
uses, and between low and higher- density residential uses.
Policy 15 ( III,A -6): Investigate and when advisable, implement mixed use
zoning, particularly in established neighborhoods where compatible and func-
tional mixes already exist.
The Plan contains policies to encourage residential -mixed use develop-
ment in three portions of the planning area. The residential -mixed use
proposals are intended to result in the creation of new, more functional
living /working /shopping patterns and relationships in undeveloped por-
tions of the planning area.
-2-
Policy 16 (III -A -6): Encourage location of nonresidential uses, such as
neighborhood commercial and small -scale light industry, within residentially
designated areas when those auxiliary uses are compatible with refinement
plans, zoning ordinances, and other local controls for allowed uses in resi-
dential neighborhoods.
The Plan provides for the addition of approximately 25 acres of neigh-
borhood commercial development in scattered future residential develop-
ment sites throughout the planning area. The Plan also provides for the
addition of approximately 80 acres of Special Light Industrial land
adjacent to a large, undeveloped area designated for residential uses.
These actions should promote a reduction in vehicle -miles traveled and
an increase in alternate modes use as these areas develop.
Policy 17 (III -A -6): Encourage a variety of new residential development in
and near the downtown area.
The Plan provides for an amendment to the Metro Plan to change the land
use designation from Light Medium Industrial to High Density Residential
for an area of approximately 70 acres within one mile of the greater
downtown area which includes the Riverfront Research Park, the Universi-
ty of Oregon, and Sacred Heart General Hospital.
Policy 23 (III -A -6): Encourage increased residential density at various
locations within cities by implementing programs, policies, and code modifi-
cations that both establish minimum densities and allow maximum densities
permitted by local or Metropolitan Area General Plan density categories in
designated areas, when consistent with other planning policies.
The Plan establishes minimum density standards for all medium and high -
density residential development in the planning area. The Plan sets a
minimum level of 10 DU /Acre for medium - density development and 15
DU /Acre for high- density residential development.
Policy 30 (III -A -7): Encourage higher density residential development near
industrial and commercial centers throughout the metropolitan area.
The Plan proposes Metro Plan amendments to increase density levels in
the Chase Gardens area near future industrial and commercial develop-
ment; in the Willagillespie Road and Goodpasture Island Road areas, both
of which are near Valley River Center commercial area; and in the
Sheldon Plaza commercial area.
Policy 34 (III -A -7): In newly developing areas, techniques such as planned
developments shall be employed to achieve density assumptions of the Metro-
politan Plan.
Planned Unit Development procedures are required in the two largest
remaining undeveloped residential sites in the planning area. Both
-3-
areas contain significant amounts of proposed low and medium - density
residential development.
Policy 6 (III -B -5): Increase the amount of undeveloped land zoned for light
industrial and commercial uses correlating the effective supply in terms of
suitability and availability with the projections of demand.
The Plan proposes to expand the existing Coburg- Crescent Special Light
Industrial area by approximately 80 acres and to reduce the amount of
light- medium industrial in the Chase Gardens area by approximately 70
acres. The Plan also proposes increasing the supply of land designated
for General Commercial purposes by approximately 30 acres in recognition
of existing uses on the land, and by increasing the supply of land des-
ignated for Neighborhood Commercial uses by approximately 35 acres.
Policy 8 (III -B -5): Encourage the improvement of the appearance of existing
industrial areas, as well as their ability to serve the needs of existing and
potential light industrial development.
The Plan contains policies to require industrial development in the
Coburg- Crescent Special Light Industrial area to comply with Industrial
Development Standards adopted for that area.
Policy 13 (IIi -B -5): Encourage compatibility between industrially zoned
lands and adjacent areas in local planning programs.
See explanation immediately above for Policy 8, (iii -B -5).
Policy 15 (III -B -5): Encourage the development of transportation facilities
which would improve access to industrial and commercial areas and improve
freight movement capabilities by implementing the policies and projects in
the ... TransPlan...
The Plan proposes improvements to the street system in the Coburg -Cres-
cent area and in the North Delta Highway area which should improve ac-
cess to existing and future industrial and commercial developments in
those areas.
Policy 17 (III -B -6): Reserve several areas within the urban growth boundary
for large - scale, campus -type, light manufacturing uses.
The Plan proposes expansion of one of those areas (Coburg- Crescent Spe-
cial Light Industrial Area) by approximately 80 acres.
-4-
Policy 18 (III -B -6): Review local ordinances and revise them to promote
greater flexibility for promoting appropriate commercial development in resi-
dential neighborhoods.
The Plan proposes the creation of a new zoning district to allow the
development of residential /mixed use districts in areas where they do
not currently exist. The intent is, in part, to review compatibility
standards which might increase flexibility for siting and developing
commercial uses in residential neighborhoods. The Plan also proposes
amendments to the Eugene Code to ensure compatibility between uses, an
effort that could also result in greater flexibility for appropriate
commercial development in residential areas.
Policy 26 (III -B -6): Encourage the expansion of redevelopment of existing
neighborhood commercial facilities as surrounding residential densities in-
crease or as the characteristics of the support population change.
The Plan proposes the expansion of Neighborhood Commercial uses in the
the Coburg- Crescent commercial area, in the Sheldon Plaza area, and in
the County Farm Loop area. The Plan also anchors the Floating Nodes in
the Metro Plan with Neighborhood Commercial designations in the Ayres
Road and County Farm Loop areas.
Policy 27 (III -B -6): The City of Eugene shall initiate refinement plans to
determine the type and location of commercial and residential land uses in
floating nodes prior to the update of the Metropolitan Plan.
The Plan anchors the Floating Node identified in the Metro Plan with 5
acres of Neighborhood Commercial and 30 acres of Medium Density Residen-
tial in the Opportunity Area A.
Policy 20 (III -C -9): In order to improve water quality and quantity in met-
ropolitan area, local governments shall consider developing reguilations or
instituting programs to:
a. increase public awareness of techniques and practices private individu-
als can employ to help correct water quality and quantity problems;
b. improve management of industrial and commercial operations to reduce
negative water quality and quantity impacts;
C. regulate site planning for new development and construction to better
control drainage and erosion and to manage storm runoff;
d. increase storage and retention of storm runoff to lower and delay peak
storm flows;
e. utilize natural and simple mechanical treatment systems to provide
treatment for contaminated runoff waters;
f. reduce street - related water quality and quantity problems;
g. minimize use of toxic substances; .
h. minimize the negative effects of chemical and petroleum spills.
-5-
The Plan promotes retention of natural drainage channels in the area to
achieve multiple objectives. Policies in the plan encourage development
practices and patterns that will result in improved water quality from
storm water runoff, control erosion, provide numerous ecological and
educational benefits, and reduced costs when constructing storm water
management systems.
Policy 31 (III- C -11): Site review criteria shall be applied to large vacant
parcels on Gillespie Butte to protect vegetation and scenic values to the
maximum extent practicable.
The Plan includes a policy to insure that new development on Gillespie
Butte will be reviewed under the new Gillespie Butte Site Development
Standards, also included in the Plan. These standards are intended to
afford increased protection to Gillespie Butte vegetation and scenic
values.
Policy 34 (III- C -11): Design and construction of new noise - sensitive devel-
opment in the vicinity of existing and future streets and highways with po-
tential to exceed general highway noise levels shall include consideration of
mitigating measures, such as acoustical building modifications, noise barri-
ers, and acoustical site planning. The application of these mitigating mea-
sures must be balanced with other design considerations and housing costs.
The Plan includes policies to require noise buffering and /or other noise
attenuation features for all new residential development abutting I -105,
Delta Highway, Beltline Road and I -5. The Plan also includes policies
to ensure that noise attenuation features are provided along State high-
ways when those facilities are improved.
Policy 9 (III -D -5): The specific use management considerations and require-
ments of statewide Goal 15, "Willamette River Greenway," shall be applied,
where they are not specifically addressed in policy or land use designations
elsewhere in this Plan, in local refinement plans and local implementing
ordinances.
The Plan creates specific Willamette River Greenway Management Standards
for the area within the Greenway. These standards incorporate use man-
agement criteria outlined in statewide Goal 15.
Policy 11 (III -D -5): Eugene and Springfield shall continue to use the condi-
tional use permit system to address the setback and vegetative fringe re-
quirements of statewide Planning goal 15. Lane County shall address the
setback and vegetative fringe requirements of Goal 15 in its Greenway imple-
menting ordinance.
The Willamette River Greenway Management Standards identified above will
continue to be applied through the conditional use permit process.
M
Policy 2 (III -E -3): Natural vegetation, natural water features, and
drainageways shall be protected and retained to the maximum extent practica-
ble, considering the economic, social, environmental, and energy consequences
in the design and construction of urban developments and landscaping shall be
utilized to enhance those natural features.
The Plan contains numerous policies that encourage the retention of
natural vegetation, natural water features and drainageways throughout
the planning area. The application of Site Review criteria, and Planned
Unit Development procedures are primary tools for insuring the protec-
tion of these values. Plan policies also call for the protection of
significant wetland, riparian, waterway,and upland sites in the area.
Policy 3 (III -E -3): The planting of street trees shall be strongly encour-
aged, especially for all new developments and redeveloping areas (where fea-
sible) and new streets and reconstruction of major arterials within the urban
growth boundary.
The Plan contains suggestions for projects along new streets and street
improvement projects which would include street tree plantings.
Policy 5 (III -E -3): Carefully develop sites that provide visual diversity to
the urban area and optimize their visual and personal accessibility to resi-
dents.
The Plan identifies "neighborhood gateways" and entrance corridors that
have significant value as identifying features, both for the neighbor-
hood and for the city as a whole. Numerous policies in the plan, and
specific projects outlined in the Neighborhood Design Element and Trans-
portation Element address the need for careful urban design in these
areas.
Policy 7 (III -E -3): The development of urban design elements as part of
local and refinement plans shall be encouraged.
The Plan includes a Neighborhood Design element that includes policies
and proposed actions to implement urban design projects in the area.
Policy 5 (III -F -5): New developments shall include consideration of improve-
ments which would accommodate urban public transit and other alternative
modes.
The Plan includes several policies and implementation strategies to
increase the use of transit and other alternative modes in the area.
Proposals in the plan would: 1) amend the code to require better tran-
sit access for new commercial and higher density residential development
occurring along a transit route; 2).require sidewalks in all newly de-
veloped areas and in all high- activity areas of the city; 3) encourage
transit and pedestrian amenities along arterial streets, high- activity
areas and streets with high pedestrian counts; 4) encourage new develop-
-7-
ments to be designed to consider walking distance to transit; and 5)
support the creation of a park and ride shuttle between Autzen Stadium
and the University of Oregon.
Policy 9 (III -G -6): Major institutions, such as universities and hospitals,
shall continue joint planning coordination with local planning agencies.
Sacred Heart General Hospital was an active participant in the
Willakenzie planning process regarding the proposed development of a
second hospital campus in the planning area. The University of Oregon
was notified of all planning team meetings and was consulted about vari-
ous issues affecting university property or university functions within
the planning area.
Policy 19 (III -G -7): Additions to or deletions from the project list or
significant change to project location requires amending the Public Facili-
ties Plan.
Proposed Public Facilities Plan amendments are included in the
Willakenzie Area Plan adoption process.
Policy 1 (111 -1 -2): Adopt and implement historic preservation policies,
regulations, and incentive programs that encourage the inventory, preserva-
tion, and restoration of structures; landmarks; sites; and areas of cultural,
historic, or archaeological significance for the enjoyment and knowledge of
present and future generations.
The Plan addresses historic preservation in the Neighborhood Design
Element and includes policies and implementation strategies to identify
and encourage preservation of significant historic and potentially his-
toric landmarks, trees or other landscape elements and other special
features. The Plan also establishes a timeframe for completing cultural
and historic resource inventories for the planning area.
Policy 7 (III -J -5): Encourage medium and high density residential uses when
balanced with other planning policies in order to maximize the efficient
utilization of all forms of energy.
See discussion under Policy 3 (III -A -4) above. The Plan increases the
supply of land designated for medium- and high- density residential use
to levels anticipated in the Metro Plan.
Policy 8 (III -J -5): Commercial, residential, and recreational land uses
shall be integrated to the greatest extent possible, balanced with all plan-
ning policies to reduce travel distances, optimize reuse of waste heat, and
optimize potential on -site energy generation.
The Plan contains proposals for residential /mixed use development in the
area that would encourage development of a mix of uses which would re-
sult in reduced vehicle travel and would result in potential energy
savings.

EXHIBIT D
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS ON WILLAKENZIE PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES
The Eugene Planning Commission has recommended a slightly revised list of
Implementation Priorities than are listed in the draft Willakenzie Area Plan.
The Planning Commission Implementation Priorities are as follows:
PUBLIC SAFETY
* The City shall design and construct a new community- oriented public
safety station in the Willakenzie are. This station should provide the
following components:
- maximum four - minute response time for fire /emergency medical
service to all areas of Willakenzie;
- station should be staffed by community- oriented Public Safety
Department personnel (including police officers); and
- contain expansion capabilities for prevention programs and
citizen /juvenile meeting rooms to deal with future growth and
demand.
* The City shall implement proactive prevention programs in the
Willakenzie area. These programs could include further expansion of one
or more of the following programs which will eventually lead to a commu-
nity -based policing model:
- block homes;
- neighborhood and business watch;
- park watch;
- expansion of the number of officers assigned to the
Willakenzie area; and
- other community- oriented public safety programs.
* The City shall institute the practice of "posting" whereby ambulances
can be parked in key locations in the Willakenzie area to allow the
vehicles to respond to incidents in a more timely manner, until such
time as the above two actions are achieved.
RESIDENTIAL LAND USE
* Amend the Eugene code to establish minimum density requirements for
medium and high density residential development within the Eugene Urban
Growth Boundary. The suggested minimum density requirements are 10
DU /Acre for areas designated Medium Density Residential and 15 DU /Acre
for areas designated High Density Residential.
-1-
QUALITY OF LIFE /CHARACTER OF THE AREA
* Amend the Eugene Code to ensure that commercial developments are attrac-
tive, compatible with surrounding land uses, and reflect recommendations
in the Willakenzie Plan, the Commercial lands Study, and other design
studies.
* Amend the Site Review provisions for the Gillespie Butte area to address
the development criteria set forth in the Gillespie Butte Site Develop-
ment Standards located in the Neighborhood Design Element.
* Design maintenance and improvement programs that support natural re-
sources and minimize damage to natural vegetation and critical wildlife
habitats.
* Seek funding to complete a cultural and historic resource inventory for
the Willakenzie area including a description of historic and potentially
historic landmarks, significant trees or other landscape elements, and
other special features. The cultural and historic resource inventory
for the planning area shall be completed within 5 years of plan adop-
tion.
* Priority should be placed on completing survey work for those areas
subject to development pressures which have potentially significant
historic resources (such as'the Chase Gardens area and the Old Coburg
Road area). A cultural and historic resource inventory for the Chase
Gardens and Old Coburg Road area shall be completed within one year of
plan adoption.
* City of Eugene and Lane County should initiate a study to examine juris-
dictional responsibilities, funding options, the role of City and County
Historic Review boards, and legal issues surrounding the management of
historic resources in the urban transition area.

{J
TRAFFIC /TRANSPORTATION
Amend the Eugene Planned Street and Highway Right -of -Way Plan to reflect
the street classifications indicated on the Willakenzie Area Functional
Classification of Streets Map.
Seek and amendment to TransPlan for the addition of new street improve-
ment projects listed in Table T -1 and for the inclusion of the following
collector streets to the Street and Highway Project List:
- provide for the construction of a new collector street, to be
located south of Gilham Elementary School, in the location
depicted on the Willakenzie Area Functional Classification of
Streets Map;
- connect Gilham Road to County Farm Road and Coburg Road
through the construction of a new street to be located north
of the extension of Ayres Road in the location depicted on the
Willakenzie Area Functional Classification of Streets Map.
