within the Willamette River and, therefore, no significant impacts to fish in the area are <br />anticipated. <br />(c)Protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along the <br />Willamette River to the maximum extent practicable. <br />The proposed a 200-foot riparian setback for buildings and recreational fields will facilitate <br />protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along the river. In addition, the <br />proposed removal of invasive vegetation and reestablishment of native vegetation within the <br />entire setback area will further protect and enhance the natural vegetative fringe. <br />(d)Preservation of scenic qualities and viewpoints as identified in the <br />Metropolitan Plan Natural Assets and Constraints Working Paper. <br />TheMetropolitan Natural Assets and Constraints Working Paper does not identify any scenic <br />qualities or viewpoints on the subject site and, therefore, therefore this criterion does not apply. <br />(e)Maintenance of public safety and protection of public and private property, <br />especially from vandalism and trespass in both rural and urban areas to the <br />maximum extent practicable. <br />The UO owns all parcels within the North Campus site. All public improvements will be <br />constructed in accordance with standards specified in EC 9.6505 and EC 9.3715. S-RP Zone <br />development standards are consistent with those in the land use code and also contribute to <br />public safety and protection of public and private property. <br />(f)Compatibility of aggregate extraction with the purposes of the Willamette <br />River Greenway and when economically feasible, applicable sections of state <br />law pertaining to Reclamation of Mining Lands (ORS Chapter 517) and <br />Removal of Material; Filling (ORS Chapter 541) designed to minimize <br />adverse effects to water quality, fish and wildlife, vegetation, bank <br />stabilization, stream flow, visual quality, noise, safety, and to guarantee <br />necessary reclamation. <br />The proposal does not involve aggregate extraction nor will it have any impact on existing <br />aggregate resources and, therefore, this criterion does not apply. <br />(g)Compatibility with recreational lands currently devoted to metropolitan <br />recreational needs, used for parks or open space and owned and controlled <br />by a general purpose government and regulation of such lands so that their <br />use will not interfere with adjacent uses. <br />As used in this section, the words "the greatest possible degree" are drawn <br />from Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b.) and are intended to require <br />a balancing of factors so that each of the identified Willamette Greenway <br />Hearings Official Decision (CU 18-1; WG 18-2) 18 <br /> <br />
