UNIVERSITY OF OREGON <br />NORTH CAMPUS <br />CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION <br /> <br />other properties within the Riverfront Park Study area only at the <br />request of affected property owners. <br />This policy recognizes that the existing mix of zoning districts reflects existing land use patterns. <br />Changes in zoning will follow decisions by property owners regarding future use of their property. <br />Application of the Special District to properties not owned by the University of Oregon will be <br />evaluated on the ability of the subject site to meet the objectives and goals of the proposed use. <br />This proposal does involve or anticipate any changes or alterations to current zoning, as all <br />properties in question are currently owned by the University of Oregon. Therefore, this policy is <br />addressed. <br /> <br />3. For land zoned SD, Special Development, development <br />proposals shall be considered on a case-by-case basis through <br />the conditional use permit process. <br />This process provides a high degree of flexibility for development proposals and allows the city to <br />make development-related decisions on the basis of their conformance with predetermined <br />standards. This policy also recognizes that a large portion of the North Campus area lies within <br />the boundaries of the Willamette Greenway. Under the Conditional Use Permit process called for <br />in the Riverfront Research Park Special Area Zone (S-RP), new development located within the <br />Greenway boundaries must also comply with Willamette Greenway criteria specified in the Eugene <br />Code (EC 9.8815) and presented in Section 5.3. This proposal not only addresses S-RP and <br />Willamette Greenway approval criteria, but also includes compliance with additional development <br />regulations. By seeking a conditional use permit, this proposal in itself is in compliance with this <br />policy. <br />4. The following uses shall be permitted in the SD district for the <br />Riverfront Park area: <br />a) University programs and activities. <br />b) Uses related to the activities, research, and programs of <br />the University of Oregon, including light industrial, <br />research and development, and office. <br />c) A limited range of retail and non-retail uses permitted in <br />the C-I, Neighborhood Commercial District (see Appendix <br />B, Exhibit A). <br />d) Other retail and non-retail uses that complement <br />University activities. <br />e) Multiple-family dwellings. <br />The intent of this policy is to provide for a variety of uses within the subject property, and to <br />balance this development potential against its possible impact on other portions of the community. <br />This policy establishes direction to tie the development in this area to the primary distinguishing <br />feature, which is its proximity to the University of Oregon. This policy recognizes that the area's <br />proximity to the university is unique and it is this proximity which should ultimately determine the <br />Cameron McCarthy INITIAL SUBMITTAL | February 21, 2018 66 <br /> <br />
