purpose in EC 9.3700, and the permitted uses, the siting requirements and review procedures for <br />the S-RP zone, all envision a long-range planning document to guide the future development of <br />this specific zone. Also significantly, while opponents overwhelmingly oppose the duration of <br />the Master Plan, they also overwhelmingly support some components of it. In particular, nearly <br />all opponents testified that they supported the 200-foot setback along the Willamette River. <br />Many also expressed support for other open space requirements, and other components of the <br />Regulatory Plan that greatly exceed the restrictions otherwise required under the land use code. <br />However, a “Master Plan” that requires these environmental protections for only 18 months <br />would render those protections meaningless. The duration of the environmental protections <br />included in the Master Plan is directly and necessarily dependent on the duration of the Master <br />Plan. <br />The Master Plan proposes how uses allowed in the S-RP zone may be implemented over time, in <br />accordance with the S-RP Master Plan criteria. It is a long-range planning tool. As noted above, <br />as development is proposed, it must be evaluated against the development standards and other <br />siting requirements then in effect, but within the constraints established by the Master Plan and, <br />significantly, the Regulatory Plan that greatly constrains the UO’s use of the property beyond <br />that would otherwise be permitted in the code. A 30-year duration will both ensure long-term <br />compliance with the purpose of the S-RP zone and that additional protections remain in place for <br />the entire North Campus area, and particularly that portion of the property along Willamette <br />River. <br />The requested 30-year expiration for the requested Master Plan is approved. <br />DECISION <br />Based on the analysis and findings in the staff report, which establish compliance with each of the <br />APPROVES <br />applicable approval criteria, the hearings official the Conditional Use and Willamette <br />Greenway Permit request, subject to the conditions listed above. <br />Virginia Gustafson Lucker <br />Hearings Official <br />Dated this 31st day October, 2018. <br />Mailed this _____ day of _______, 2018. <br />SEE NOTICE OF HEARINGS OFFICIAL DECISION FOR STATEMENT OF APPEAL <br />RIGHTS <br />Hearings Official Decision (CU 18-1; WG 18-2) 22 <br />
