areas and allow flexibility to meet the parking requirements (e.g. count on-street <br />parking, allow long-term leases, allow shared parking); and <br /> (E) Located in one or more of the categories below: <br />(i) At least one-quarter mile from any ramp terminal intersection of existing or <br />planned interchanges; <br />(ii) Within the area of an adopted Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP) and <br />consistent with the IAMP; or <br />(iii) Within one-quarter mile of a ramp terminal intersection of an existing or <br />planned interchange if the mainline facility provider has provided written <br />concurrence with the MMA designation as provided in subsection (c) of this <br />section. <br />(c) When a mainline facility provider reviews an MMA designation as provided in <br />subparagraph (b)(E)(iii) of this section, the provider must consider the factors listed in <br />paragraph (A) of this subsection. . . . . <br />(d) A local government may designate an MMA by adopting an amendment to the <br />comprehensive plan or land use regulations to delineate the boundary following an <br />existing zone, multiple existing zones, an urban renewal area, other existing boundary, <br />or establishing a new boundary. The designation must be accompanied by findings <br />showing how the area meets the definition of an MMA. Designation of an MMA is not <br />subject to the requirements in sections (1) and (2) of this rule. <br />(e) A local government may designate an MMA on an area where comprehensive plan <br />map designations or land use regulations do not meet the definition, if all of the other <br />elements meet the definition, by concurrently adopting comprehensive plan or land use <br />regulation amendments necessary to meet the definition. Such amendments are not <br />subject to performance standards related to motor vehicle traffic congestion, delay or <br />travel time. <br />Multi-Modal Mixed-Use Area (MMA) Designation <br />The area of the proposed amendments, indicated as the S-SW Special Area Zone boundary, is <br />coterminous with the MMA boundary; thus the area within the S-SW zone will be entirely within the <br />boundary of the MMA. As outlined below, the amendment is consistent with the definition and <br />function of an MMA. <br />As part of the S-SW zone adoption process, the City proposes adoption of the MMA designation as <br />noted above. The boundary of the MMA and the boundary of the S-SW Special Area Zone will be <br />identical and will be adopted as part of the Eugene Code Chapter 9 amendments. As indicated on <br />maps included with these findings as Attachment A, and proposed EC Figure 9.3832 S-SW Zone <br />Regulating Plan – Subdistricts and Overlay Subdistricts, the entire MMA is within the UGB. <br /> <br />The proposed code provisions, zone changes, and plan designations allow for the mix of uses required <br />of a MMA. The S-SW Zone Regulating Plan – Subdistricts and Overlay Subdistricts indicates a “weave” <br />of subdistricts throughout the subject area that concentrates intensity along the primary corridors <br />and the zoning specifically allows medium and high density residential, office uses, retail stores and <br />services, restaurants and public open space (EC 9.3840(3)(a); (2); (1); (1)(c)1.e.; and (8) respectively). <br />The S-SW Special Area Zone also allows civic or cultural uses under the allowance for Institutional <br />Uses (EC 9.3840(4)). <br />Findings - 9 <br />
