UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION habitat on the Goal 5 inventory. However, the subject site is inside the UGB and not between the UGB and Metro Plan boundary. Therefore, this standard does not apply. C.17. The map titled Goal 5 Significant Riparian Corridors for the area inside the Metro Plan Boundary and outside the UGB, dated January 2004, adopted and incorporated here, shall be used to identify significant riparian corridors for purposes of applying Goal 5 riparian protection provisions in Lane Code Chapter 16 for areas outside the UGB and inside the Plan Boundary. The map is on file at the Lane County Land Management Division. The map titled was consulted to identify Goal 5 Significant Riparian Corridors significant riparian . However, the subject site is inside the UGB and not between the UGB and Metro Plan corridors boundary. Therefore, this standard does not apply. Open Space (Goal 5) C.21. When planning for and regulating development, local governments shall consider the need for protection of open spaces, including those characterized by significant vegetation and wildlife. Means of protecting open space include but are not limited to outright acquisition, conservation easements, planned unit development ordinances, streamside protection ordinances, open space tax deferrals, donations to the public, and performance zoning. The Willamette River and its associated bank are key habitat for vegetation and wildlife, and must be preserved accordingly. To align with these values, the proposal seeks to incorporate as much conservation area and open space as practicable, and support existing wildlife and vegetation habitat along the river through targeted development and restoration and enhancement recommendations. The subject site is 77 acres, and includes 5,125 lineal feet of frontage along the Willamette River. Of these 77 acres, 31 acres, or 40% of the site acreage, is proposed for conservation and riparian restoration. Of the 42 acres between the railroad tracks and river, 25 acres, or 60% of the site acreage, is proposed for conservation and riparian restoration. More explicitly, this includes the required conservation area setback along the Willamette River within the site of 100 feet from top of bank. In addition, the Applicant proposes a conservation setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A). This 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank; when measure from the waterÈs edge, this setback equates to 250-300 feet. This would increase the size of the total area dedicated to conservation to approximately 31 acres, which the university would restore as funds are available and for which it would implement best maintenance practices for managing riparian areas, consistent with the universityÈs existing Integrated Pest Management Plan. 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 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. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 56
