UNIVERSITY OF OREGON <br />NORTH CAMPUS <br />CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION <br />will be developed to work toward the goal of accommodating a <br />substantial number of the trips made to new development within <br />the Riverfront Park Study area through modes other than the <br />single-occupancy automobile. <br />Eugene has been successful in encouraging the use of alternate transportation modes. A <br />significant level of alternate mode usage reduces potential impacts on the already limited area- <br />wide parking; reduces the requirements for public expenditures on street improvements; and <br />provides opportunity for more intense development within the subject site, south of the railroad <br />tracks and adjacent to Franklin Boulevard. This policy recognizes that the proximity of potential <br />development to the University of Oregon and downtown Eugene increases the ability to rely on <br />alternative transportation modes for all types of trips. The policy also recognizes that aggressive <br />action by the City, Lane Transit District, and the University of Oregon will be required to achieve <br />the alternate mode objectives. For instance, University of Oregon has a robust transportation <br />demand management program that relies heavily on public transportation, walking, and bicycling, <br />consistently resulting annually in more than 80% of the students and more than 40% of faculty and <br />staff using alternate modes as their primary mode of commuting. Proposing university uses in the <br />North Campus area will continue the same pattern of commuting as for the rest of campus. <br />Therefore, this policy is satisfied. <br /> <br />3. The City shall use its Capital Improvement Programming process <br />to identify projects, their implementation schedules, and <br />anticipated funding sources needed to provide transportation <br />facilities to service development in the Riverfront Study Area. <br />Special efforts shall be made to secure non-City funding for <br />capital improvements whenever possible. <br />This policy acknowledges the CityÈs process of capital improvement programming as the <br />appropriate mechanism to identify timing and funding sources for publicly constructed projects <br />aimed at accommodating transportation demand from future development. This policy also <br />recognizes that funding of any particular project identified in the Capital Improvement Program can <br />come from a variety of sources, and that, in any case, the City should make strong efforts to find <br />outside funding sources for transportation projects involved in development of the North Campus <br />area. The Applicant will continue to coordinate with the city regarding public capital <br />improvements, however the future development projects within the project site will be funded by <br />the Applicant. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. <br />4. The City shall pursue construction of projects intended, by <br />design and timing, to avoid Level of Service "E" in the Franklin <br />Boulevard corridor. <br />Following approval of CU 88-16 in 1989, the North Campus area was the subject of extensive <br />transportation analysis. The area was included in the analysis conducted for the <br />Central Area <br />. Several improvement projects were required or recommended as a <br />Transportation Study (CATS) <br />result of proposed development, all of which have been implemented: <br />Franklin Boulevard and Onyx Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; <br />Franklin Boulevard at Agate Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; <br />Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 73 <br /> <br />
