Additionally, the proposed orientation of <br />the buildings allow for future solar energy harvesting arrays to be <br />constructed at rooftop locations, increasing the economic potential for <br />renewable energy systems. For further evidence and analysis showing <br />compliance with this criterion, please refer to application file #PDT 13-0001. <br />METRO PLAN - SPECIFIC ELEMENTS: (K) CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT ELEMENT <br />(Goal) Continue to develop, maintain, and refine programs and procedures <br />that maximize the opportunity for meaningful, ongoing citizen involvement in <br />the community's planning and planning implementation processes consistent <br />with mandatory statewide planning standards, <br />(Policy K.3) Improve and maintain local mechanisms that provide the <br />opportunity for residents and property owners in existing residential areas to <br />participate in the implementation of policies in the Metro Plan that may <br />affect the character of those areas. <br />Findings: The City of Eugene's acknowledged program for citizen <br />involvement provides citizens the opportunity to review and make <br />recommendations in written and oral testimony on the proposed <br />development consistent with this Goal and does not amend the citizen <br />involvement element of the Metro Plan. <br />A public neighborhood meeting and public notifications, as required bythe <br />City of Eugene Type III Application process, occurred in the area within <br />walking distance of the development site. Oakleigh Meadow LLC has been <br />very active in the neighborhood, including residents and property owners in <br />the process. Community members have been invited to regular on-site <br />meetings, as well as public meetings and displays at the River Road Annex <br />community center. The development has also been recognized and is <br />supported by the River Road Community Organization. <br />(4) in areas subject to the Willakenzie Area Plan, the intensification, change of use, <br />or development will conform with that plan's use management considerations. <br />Willamette Greenway -June 14, 2013 Page 15 of 20 Oakleigh Cohousing WG 13-0001 <br />1350 <br />
