Per the report findings, the site contains the appropriate aquatic, upland, and riparian habitat <br />to support all eight of the rare species listed above. However, significant on-site habitat for <br />riverbank species is limited to the riparian corridor and is shown on Sheets L02 Site Plan and S01 <br />Existing Conditions (Exhibit A). Additional measures that can improve the habitat and subsequent <br />proliferation of historically-present species, as well as generally improve the river corridor include <br />the aforementioned restoration techniques in C.31. There has not been any other subsequent <br />determinations of significant sites on the subject property. Based on these findings, this criterion <br />is satisfied. <br />(c) Protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along <br />the Willamette River to the maximum extent practicable. <br />Outside of aforementioned development regulations imposed by the Applicant, the siteÈs <br />preservation is supplemented by state regulations. The Willamette River adjacent to the <br />development site is identified as a Goal 5 Water Resource. The Willamette River is a Category A <br />resource, meaning it is designated for protection with a required 100-foot setback. In addition, the <br />development site contains a Category A Wetland, labeled site WR-4 on the Goal 5 Inventory. This <br />Riverfront Park/Millrace wetland requires a setback of 50 feet. Both of these setbacks have been <br />incorporated by the Applicant on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A) which protects natural <br />vegetative fringe, and the Applicant proposes an additional 200-foot riparian setback for buildings <br />and recreational fields to allow for expanded riparian restoration. When this 200-foot setback is <br />measured from the waterÈs edge, thesetback equates to 250-300 feet. In addition, protection of <br />significant riparian vegetation is ensured through existing established /WR protection provisions in <br />EC 9.4900-9.4980, which are not affected by the proposal. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. <br />(d) Preservation of scenic qualities and viewpoints as identified in the <br />Metropolitan Plan Natural Assets and Constraints Working Paper. <br />Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | Revised August 13, 2018 85 <br /> <br />
