The following completeness comments are from Scott Gillespie, PE Public Works, in response to <br />the information provided within the written narrative regarding the following approval criteria: <br />9.3725 S- Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Review Procedures. The master <br />site plan for developments proposed within the S- zone shall be reviewed <br />throe the conditional use permit process provided in this land use code. <br />For the purpose of this review, the following criteria shall be applied in lieu <br />of the criteria provided in EC 9.3090 Conditional Use Permit Approval <br />Criteria - General: <br />(1) Criteria for all Development. <br />(a) The proposed development shall be consistent with the <br />Metropolitan Area General Plan, Riverfront Park Study, and other <br />applicable policy documents or functional plans. <br />Based on technical analysis (particularly with respect to <br />transportation facilities), planned public facilities shall be shown <br />to accommodate the requirements of the proposed development. <br />(c) The proposed development shall protect visual access from main <br />entry points from Franklin Boulevard to the river/riparian <br />vegetation. <br />The applicant has provided a trip generation report that uses ITE code 550. The <br />University of Oregon has long been opposed to using enrollment of students as the <br />independent variable for estimating vehicular trip impacts. The University has been <br />insistent that trip generation impacts should use the ITE land use code that describes the <br />characteristics of the proposed development. That should be the practice used to <br />estimate trip generation impacts from proposed land uses in this CUP. The parking <br />garages for the Knight Center Campus are also located in this CUP. All vehicular trips <br />from the Knight Campus are planned to use the parking garages so the planned public <br />facilities should also include trip generation from that project. Will there be any special <br />events at the sports fields? <br />Also, the written statement and trip generation report provide no technical engineering <br />analyses of the existing or proposed transportation system. The analyses in Exhibit D <br />should be stamped since it is prepared by a licensed engineer. The engineer should also <br />provide analyses, discussion and affirming statements regarding safety and operations of <br />the existing transportation system's adequacy and ability to accommodate all modes. <br />The density projections in the written statement are also inconsistent with ITE practice. <br />The written statement provides a bulleted list of projects but no information or analyses <br />to determine if those improvements solely provide the adequate planned facilities and <br />capacity to accommodate the requirements of the proposed development. A number of <br />the listed improvements are not within the project boundary or close proximity to the <br />21 Page <br />
