Tax Lot 3200 (0.7 acre) is split-zoned with Community Commercial (C-2) zoning on the western <br />side of the property, and General Office (GO) zoning on the eastern side of the property. Tax Lot 3300 <br />(0.1 acre) is zoned GO. The site is currently developed with the "South Eugene Professional Plaza," which <br />supports a variety of uses such as medical offices and therapy centers. <br />The immediate vicinity to the north, east, and west is dominated by commercial and office uses (e.g. <br />Safeway and The Meridian commercial center). Limited High-Density Residential (R-3) zoning exists south <br />of the site, and currently supports a mix of townhomes, apartments, and single-family residences. <br />The present request is for zone change approval from the current GO zone (that encompasses the <br />majority of the subject site) to the C-2 zone. If approved, both subject tax lots would be zoned C-2. As <br />discussed in the following evaluation, the Metro Plan designates the subject property as "Commercial"; <br />Vance, Eric & Cork, Dona (Z 15-9) October 2015 1 <br />HO Agenda - Page 1 <br />
