UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION ÅUnless the hearings official designates otherwise, a conditional use permit approval shall expire 18 months after the effective date of approval unless actual construction or alteration has begun under a required permit, or in the case of a permit not involving construction or alteration, actual commencement of the authorized activity has begun. However, the applicant may submit a modification application at any time before the 18-month period has expired, requesting an extension of the approval period. The applicant may request more than one extension. Under no circumstances, however, can the total combined extension periods exceed 36 months from the original expiration date.Æ (emphasis added) EC 9.7340(4) contains the following provision concerning the duration of a Willamette Greenway permit approval: ÅUnless the decision specifies otherwise, a Willamette Greenway permit approval shall expire 18 months after the effective date of approval unless actual construction or alteration has begun under a required permit, or in the case of a permit not involving construction or alteration, actual commencement of the authorized activity has begun. However, the applicant may submit a modification application at any time before the 18-month period has expired, requesting an extension of the approval period. The applicant may request more than one extension. Under no circumstances, however, can the total combined extension periods exceed 36 months from the original expiration date. * * *.Æ (emphasis added) When CU 88-16 was approved, the hearings official designated a 20-year completion timeline. The ApplicantÈs best estimate at this time is that development of the North Campus area will be complete in 50 to 100 years. Given the precedent from the prior approval and duration of estimated timeline for completion, the Applicant requests that the hearings recognize this unique aspect of the proposal and prevent the need for repeated extension requests in the future by granting a 30 year completion timeline. CU 88-16 did not involve a request for a Willamette Greenway permit, as those provisions did not exist in the EC at the time of application. Therefore, the Applicant request that the planning director specify a 30 year completion timeline in the decision in order to align with the completion timeline requested of the hearings official for the Conditional Use Permit. 8.7 Conclusion Based on the preceding findings and criteria, and the evidence incorporated herein, this request for concurrent Conditional Use and Willamette Greenway permit approval for a project permitted under the purview of the S-RP Zone demonstrates compliance with all applicable approval criteria and standards.
