UNIVERSITY OF OREGON <br />NORTH CAMPUS <br />CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION <br />ÅEC 9.8800 Purpose of Willamette Greenway Permits. Intensifications of uses, changes in <br />use, or development require special consideration before being permitted within the <br />boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. * * * Urban uses may be allowed but <br />conditions of approval may be imposed as are deemed necessary to carry out the purpose <br />and intent of the Willamette River Greenway, and to ensure that any intensifications of uses, <br />changes in use, or developments within the Willamette Greenway boundaries are <br />compatible with nearby uses within the Willamette Greenway.Æ <br />ÅEC 9.8805 Applicability. Willamette Greenway permit applications are required for <br />intensification of uses, changes in use, or developments within the boundaries of the <br />Willamette River Greenway * * * . <br />As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), approximately 74.2 acres of the subject site <br />are within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. As noted, the proposal requires <br />special consideration and approval of a Willamette Greenway permit to allow development to <br />proceed in accordance with the master plan vision and to ensure compatibility with nearby uses. <br />As used in this section, the words "the greatest possible degree" are drawn from Oregon <br />Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b.) and are intended to require a balancing of factors so that each <br />of the identified Willamette Greenway criteria is met to the greatest extent possible without <br />precluding the requested use. <br />EC 9.8815Willamette Greenway Permit Approval Criteria and Standards.
