UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Code 760), the student population suggested a daily total of 10,350-15,550 trips, and the gross floor area suggested a daily total of 6,445-9,285 trips. Under the current proposal, the UOÈs current student population of approximately 21,300 students is accommodated within approximately 6.642 million gross square feet of development, or a ratio of 3.207 students per 1,000 gross square feet. Applying this ratio to the long-range development plan suggests 3,600 more students could be accommodated, and ultimately suggests 7,035 daily trips could be expected. After the previous CUP was approved in 1989, the North Campus area was the subject of extensive transportation analysis. Several improvement projects were required or recommended as a result of proposed development, all of which have been implemented: Franklin Boulevard and Onyx Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; Franklin Boulevard at Agate Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; Downtown/Franklin Boulevard signal systems: Implementation of optimal signal timings; ththth including 18 Avenue and 19 Avenue in the system; and, new controllers at 18 Avenue and University Street at Alder Street; th Agate Street at 18 Street: Reconstruction of the intersection; th Agate Street at 15 Street: Reconstruction of the intersection; th 11 Street and Kincaid Street: Construction of new signal. The City and Lane Transit District have coordinated extensively to plan and construct the bus rapid transit system, EmX. Franklin Boulevard is currently served by an EmX line extending from Downtown Eugene to Springfield Station and the project area is adjacent to a primary transit station at Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street. Additional improvements to improve the capacity and function of Franklin Boulevard were conditioned and required as part of the approved Conditional Use Permit for Matthew Knight Arena and have also been implemented. Based on the above findings, the trip generation resulting from the current proposal is less than was approved in CU 88-16, and the trip generation is further offset by improvements to facilities that have occurred since the approval of the last Conditional Use Permit. Along with implementation of planned improvements to accommodate proposed development of the North Campus area, planned public facilities will accommodate the requirements of the proposed development. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. (c) The proposed development shall protect visual access from main entry points from Franklin Boulevard to the river/riparian vegetation. The proposal does not involve changes to the project area that negatively affect visual access from main entry points from Franklin Boulevard such as Riverfront Parkway. The Applicant has established a Regulatory Plan, Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan Exhibit A, that applies more self-imposed, stringent development regulations than is required by code in order to facilitate riparian restoration, open space improvements, and for viewsheds to be protected. For example, the Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage. North of the tracks, the Applicant is proposing maximum building coverages well below what is allowed by the code. The applicable S-RP zone states that at least 40% of the portion of the development site shall be shall be landscaped with living plant materials, requiring the building coverage and site elements to be contained within 60% of the development site (implying an allowed building Cameron McCarthy INITIAL SUBMITTAL | February 21, 2018 74
