EXHIBITS Page 51 <br />Commercinl <br />This designation on the Metro Plan Diagram includes only the first two categories: <br />Major Retail Centers <br />Such centers normally have at least 25 retail stores, one or more of which is a major anchor <br />department store, having at least 100,000 square feet of total floor space. They sometimes also <br />include complimentary uses, such as general offices and medium and high density housing. <br />Presently there are two such developed centers in the metropolitan area: the Eugene central <br />business district and Valley River Center. <br />Community Commercial Centers <br />This category includes more commercial activities than neighborhood commercial but less than <br />major retail centers. Such areas usually develop around a small department store and <br />supermarket. The development occupies at least five acres and normally not more than 40 acres. <br />This category contains such general activities as retail stores; personal services; financial, <br />insurance, and real estate offices; private recreational facilities, such as movie theaters; and <br />tourist-related facilities, such as motels. When this category is shown next to medium- or high- <br />density residential, the two can be integrated into a single overall complex, local regulations <br />permitting. <br />Existing strip commercial is in the Community Commercial Centers plan designation when it is <br />of sufficient size to be of more than local significance. Development and location standards for <br />(additional) strip commercial, as well as neighborhood commercial uses, are discussed below. <br />Neighborhood Commercial Facilities (not shown on Metro Plan Diagram) <br />Oriented to the day-to-day needs of the neighborhood served, these facilities are usually centered <br />on a supermarket as the principal tenant. They are also characterized by convenience goods <br />outlets (small grocery, variety, and hardware stores); personal services (medical and dental <br />offices, barber shops); laundromats; dry cleaners (not plants); and taverns and small restaurants. <br />The determination of the appropriateness of specific sites and uses or additional standards is left <br />to the local jurisdiction. Minimum location standards and site criteria include: <br />Within convenient walking or bicycling distance of an adequate support population. For <br />a full-service neighborhood commercial center at the high end of the size criteria, an <br />adequate support population would be about 4,000 persons (existing or anticipated) <br />within an area conveniently accessible to the site. For smaller sites or more limited <br />services, a smaller support population or service area may be sufficient. <br />2. Adequate area to accommodate off-street parking and loading needs and landscaping, <br />particularly between the center and adjacent residential property, as well as along street <br />frontages next door to outdoor parking areas. <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 614 <br />
