Attachment A <br />Completeness Review of Conditional Use Permit Criteria: <br />Excerpt from City of Eugene Land Use Code, Chapter 9 <br />The application materials for New Cingular Wireless Crossfire Ministries (CU 14-3) are lacking <br />sufficient information to evaluate and determine compliance with the applicable Conditional Use <br />Permit approval criteria at Eugene Code (EC) 9.8090. The code standard is provided in bold with <br />staff concerns identified under each. <br />EC 9.8090(1): The proposal is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan and <br />applicable refinement plans. <br />The written statement does not identify the Metro Plan land use diagram designation, which is <br />low-density residential. As such, the Metro Plan Residential Land Use policies should be reviewed <br />with an explanation to determine applicability. More information also appears necessary to show <br />compliance with Policy E:4 of the Metro Plan, in light of recent case law established in Northgreen <br />Properties v. City of Eugene. Staff advises the applicant to closely review that recent case history <br />for the type of findings and evidence that is necessary to demonstrate that the facility is "designed <br />and located in a manner that preserves and enhances desirable features of the local and <br />neighborhood areas and promotes their sense of identity." <br />EC 9.8090(2): The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposal are <br />reasonably compatible with and have minimal impact on the livability or appropriate <br />development of surrounding property, as they relate to the following factors: <br />(a) The proposed building(s) mass and scale are physically suitable for the type and <br />density of use being proposed. <br />The written statement needs to better articulate compliance with this criterion with supporting <br />evidence. The conclusive statement without supporting evidence and findings are insufficient. The <br />statement says the monopine is designed to look like other evergreen trees in the immediate area, <br />but the photos show few evergreen trees in close proximity. The statement also concludes that <br />the ancillary equipment shed will look like an extension of the chapel. This needs to be illustrated <br />and better explained as to how it fits within the area in terms of mass and scale and impact on the <br />surroundings. The applicant should also consider the possibility that a variance may not be <br />granted to allow above ground ancillary facilities, and provide for alternative designs (e.g. <br />underground or fully enclosed with additional sound buffering) as a contingency or means to <br />better address the approval criteria. <br />(b) The proposed structures, parking lots, outdoor use areas or other site <br />improvements which could cause substantial off-site impacts such as noise, glare <br />and odors are oriented away from nearby residential uses and/or are adequately <br />mitigated through other design techniques, such as screening and increased <br />setbacks. <br />Completeness Review: New Cingular Wireless Crossfire Church (CU 14-3) Page 1 of 3 <br />
