Eugene Code <br />b. Proposed buildings, road, and other uses are designed and <br />sited to assure preservation of significant on-site vegetation, <br />topographic features, and other unique and worthwhile <br />natural features, and to prevent soil erosion or flood hazard. <br />(b) Tree Preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited to <br />preserve significant trees to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, <br />with trees having the following characteristics given the highest priority <br />for preservation: <br />1. Healthy trees that have a reasonable chance of survival <br />considering the base zone or special area zone designation and <br />other applicable approval criteria; <br />2. Trees located within vegetated corridors and stands rather than <br />individual isolated trees subject to windthrow; <br />3. Trees that fulfill a screening function, provide relief from glare, or <br />shade expansive areas of pavement; <br />4. Trees that provide a buffer between potentially incompatible land <br />uses; <br />5. Trees located along the perimeter of the lot(s) and within building <br />setback areas; <br />6. Trees and stands of trees located along ridgelines and within view <br />corridors; <br />7. Trees with significant habitat value; <br />8. Trees adjacent to public parks, open space and streets; <br />9. Trees located along a water feature; <br />10. Heritage trees. <br />(c) Restoration or Replacement. <br />1. For areas not included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 <br />inventory, the proposal mitigates, to the greatest degree attainable <br />or feasible, the loss of significant natural features described in <br />criteria (a) and (b) above, through the restoration or replacement <br />of natural features such as: <br />a. Planting of replacement trees within common areas; or <br />b. Re-vegetation of slopes, ridgelines, and stream corridors; or <br />c. Restoration of fish and wildlife habitat, native plant habitat, <br />wetland areas, and riparian vegetation. <br />To the extent applicable, restoration or replacement shall be in <br />compliance with the planting and replacement standards of EC <br />6.320. <br />2. For areas included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, <br />any loss of significant natural features described in criteria (a) and <br />(b) above shall be consistent with the acknowledged level of <br />protection for the features. <br />(d) Street Trees. If the proposal includes removal of any street tree(s), <br />removal of those street tree(s) has been approved, or approved with <br />conditions according to the process at EC 6.305. <br />(5) The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through <br />compliance with the following: <br />(a) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other <br />Public Ways (not subject to modifications set forth in subsection (10) <br />below). <br />9.8-53 9/16/2014 <br />
