EXHIBITS Page 104 <br />The following permits are required by Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County to <br />implement Statewide Planning Goal 15 within their respective areas of jurisdiction as <br />defined in Chapter II-D: <br />a. The City of Eugene requires Greenway Permits for any activity in the <br />Willamette Greenway involving intensification of use, change in use, or <br />development. <br />b. The City of Springfield requires a Discretionary Use Permit for any <br />change or intensification of use, or construction that has a significant <br />visual impact in the Willamette Greenway Overlay District, which is <br />combined with a "Greenway Setback Line." <br />C. Lane County requires a Greenway Development Permit for intensification <br />or change of use or development allowed in applicable zones, including <br />public improvements and including partitions and subdivisions as defined <br />in LC 13.020 for lands within the boundaries of the Willamette River <br />Greenway. <br />9. Local jurisdictions retain the primary responsibility for implementation of the Willamette <br />River Greenway goal. <br />10. The metropolitan area's river and waterway corridors require protection to maintain and <br />enhance natural, scenic, environmental, and economic qualities of these waterways. <br />11. The three jurisdictions have cooperatively developed a public park system and bicycle- <br />pedestrian trails along the Willamette River Greenway. <br />12. Residential and commercial development along the Willamette River Greenway provides <br />greater opportunity for public access and enjoyment of the river area than does industrial <br />development. <br />13. Rural agricultural areas along river and waterway corridors can be damaged by isolated <br />public access points because of vandalism and/or trespass on private lands. <br />14. Experience in other communities indicates that carefully planned and designed residential <br />and commercial development at designated locations along inland water corridors can be <br />compatible with adjacent areas and the corridors themselves. <br />15. The current unpleasant and unsightly condition of many inland waterway systems results <br />from neglect and uncoordinated waterway planning. <br />Objectives <br />Encourage use of river and waterway corridors to fulfill open space, recreation, and <br />resource protection needs. <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 667 <br />
