b. All documented habitat for all rare animal species (those that are proposed for <br />listing or are listed under State or Federal law). <br />c. Prominent topographic features, such as ridgelines and rock outcrops. <br />d. Wetlands, intermittent and perennial stream corridors, and riparian areas. <br />e. Natural resource areas designated in the Metro Plan diagram as "Natural <br />Resource" and areas identified in any city-adopted natural resource inventory. <br />2. For areas included on the City's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory the applicant shall <br />show that it has given due consideration to the preservation of attractive and <br />distinctive historical and natural features. <br />The subjects ite has been included as part of the City of Eugene's acknowledged Goal 5 <br />inventory, with application of the Water Resources Overlay to the southern portion of the site as <br />a result. The applicant proposes to restore the native vegetation within the Overlay area in <br />order to enhance the appearance and function of the Willamette River's riparian corridor, as <br />described above. No other distinctive historical or natural features are located elsewhere on the <br />site. Please see below for additional findings related to tree preservation. <br />(b) Tree Preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited to preserve <br />significant trees to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, with trees having the <br />following characteristics given the highest priority for preservation: <br />1. Healthy trees that have a reasonable chance of survival considering the base zone <br />or special area zone designation and other applicable approval criteria; <br />2. Trees located within vegetated corridors and stands rather than individual isolated <br />trees subject to windthrow; <br />3. Trees that fulfill a screening function, provide relief from glare, or shade expansive <br />areas of pavement; <br />4. Trees that provide a buffer between potentially incompatible land uses; <br />5. Trees located along the perimeter of the lot(s) and within building setback areas; <br />6. Trees and stands of trees located along ridgelines and within view corridors; <br />7. Trees with significant habitat value; <br />8. Trees adjacent to public parks, open space and streets. <br />9. Trees along water features. <br />10. Heritage trees. <br />As described above and shown on Attachments Vand and `C , a total of 31 deciduous and <br />evergreen trees are located within the boundaries of the site. This includes three deciduous trees <br />within the Water Resources Overlay area. A total of 25 trees located elsewhere throughout the <br />site are proposed for removal, primarily due to limited opportunities for placing the hotel, <br />parking, and drive aisles in a mariner that would preserve a greater number of trees.
