This setback requirement <br />preserves the riparian fringe and maximizes riparian restoration opportunities to the greatest extent <br />possible. <br />(e) To the greatest possible degree, necessary and adequate public <br />access will be provided to and along the river by appropriate legal <br />means. <br />As used in this section, the words Ågreatest possible degreeÆ are <br />drawn from Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b.) and are intended to <br />require a balancing of factors so that each of the identified <br />Greenway criteria is protected to the greatest extent possible <br />without precluding the requested use. Goal 15 (C.3.j.) provides that <br />Ålands committed to urban uses within the Greenway shall be <br />permitted to continue as urban uses.Æ <br />This policy recognizes that development should occur in concert with continued public access to <br />the river. It directs that, where possible, development plans should maintain and improve physical <br />access by the public to the river and its edge to the greatest possible degree. Physical access <br />includes pedestrian and bicycle access along the river, pedestrian access to the river bank, and <br />access to the riverbanks for swimming, fishing, and launching small paddle craft. Protection of the <br />conservation area along the river will be balanced with the need for public access to the river. <br />Through extensive feedback through public involvement, the proposal seeks to enhance the <br />publicÈs physical access to the river by improving the ecological quality of the site, public safety, <br />ease of access of public facilities, and views, and by developing a cohesive bike path along the <br />river. By including these aspects as key components of the proposal, this policy is sufficiently <br />addressed. <br /> <br />(3) Interpretation. In the event any of the terms used in these S-RP zone <br />provisions require interpretation, the planning and development director <br />shall be responsible for such interpretation. <br />The Applicant acknowledges this criterion and accepts the planning and development directorÈs <br />interpretation should any provisions require interpretation. <br />8.2 Willamette Greenway Permit (EC 9.8815) <br />Statewide Planning Goal 15, Willamette River Greenway, provides that: <br />ÅThe qualities of the Willamette River shall be protected, conserved, enhanced and <br />maintained consistent with lawful uses present on December 6, 1974. Intensifications of <br />uses, changes of use or developments may be permitted after this date only when they are <br /> \[other standards\] <br />consistent with the Willamette Greenway Statute, this Goal and.Æ <br />Regarding Åother standards,Æ EC 9.8800-9.8825 provides that: <br />Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | Revised August 13, 2018 82 <br /> <br />
