UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION (a) Required parking shall be provided at the following ratios, rounded up to the nearest whole number: 1. Industrial uses - 1 for each 500 square feet of gross floor area. 2. Retail uses - 1 for each 300 square feet of gross floor area. 3. Office uses - 1 for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. 4. University uses - 1 for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. 5. Multiple-family dwellings - 1 for each dwelling unit, plus 1 guest parking space for each 3 units. The proposal involves University uses and includes 1,343,300 gross square feet of new buildings, as shown in Table L02-2 Proposed Building Coverage (Exhibit A). Based on the proposed gross floor area, and the ratio provided for University uses above, 3,424 parking spaces would be required to serve the full North Campus build-out. In July 1997, the City of Eugene accepted a study that concluded the university was in compliance with applicable city codes regulating the supply of automobile and bicycle parking. This study included justification for a 50% reduction in the required automobile parking, as described in the EC 9.8030(10). Based on the application of the 50% reduction to the number of parking spaces required by EC 9.3715(1)(a), 1,712 parking spaces are required to serve the complete North Campus build-out, for most of which there are no definitive development plans or dedicated funding to construct improvements. Exhibit G City of Eugene Parking Code Compliance Report contains the annual analysis of student enrollment and automobile parking spaces on campus during calendar year 2016 with the intent of measuring continued compliance with City codes regulating required parking. One of the provisions of the study is that the university compare enrollment from the previous year with the amount of parking supply to ensure continued compliance. Following is the analysis: Average full-time enrollment, 2016: 20,079 Parking spaces required: (20,079 / 3.5) x .5 = 2,869 spaces Parking spaces supplied on the Eugene campus: 3,607 spaces The analysis shows that the campus currently contains a surplus of 738 parking spaces. Sheet L02 Site Plan (Exhibit A) identifies two future parking structures planned for construction in the North Campus area. The proposed structures are located in Area 2, east of Riverfront Parkway and north of Millrace Drive, and are planned to have a combined capacity of 1,110 parking 40 spaces. Some of the planned parking supply in North Campus is intended to address Knight Campus requirements per the Walnut Station Special Area Zone (S-WS) requirements, and other parking supply is intended to replace existing surface parking displaced by future Knight Campus and North Campus development and provide additional capacity for future parking removal. 40 University of Oregon Campus Physical Framework Vision.
