DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT <br />LAND USE COMPONENTS <br />CA 19-1, RA 19-1, Z 19-5, WG 19-3, ST 19-3, and SDR 19-2 <br />19,2019 <br />B. Add text to the Land Use Element Policy 2 under the "Skinner Butte Mixed Use Area -Subarea <br />11" heading as shown: <br />Change the zoning in the Skinner Butte Mixed Use Area to apply the MU-W Whitaker Mixed Use <br />District to properties designated for Mixed Use on the Whiteaker Plan Land Use Diagram except <br />for parcels that are zoned SD Special Development District. Apply R-3 Multiple-Family <br />Residential zoning to properties designated Limited High-Density Residential. Allow future <br />rezoning of parcels zoned SD as initiated by the property owner. Apply SR Site Review subdistrict <br />zoning to all property zoned MU-W Whitaker Mixed Use. except for property in the S-DR <br />Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone. <br />As noted previously, the proposal changes the zoning designation of six properties from S-W to S-DR <br />and removes the SR overlay zone designation from those properties. All of the properties are adjacent, <br />across an alley, or across a street from land within a historic district, which appears to be the basis for <br />Site Review being applied according to the existing language in Policy 2. Two historic districts overlap <br />in the East Skinner Butte Neighborhood, one National Register (NR) and the other City Landmark (CL), <br />which cover approximately the same geography. The NR and CL historic district boundaries are <br />shown on Exhibit D: East Skinner Butte Historic District Map. <br />The proposed text amendments provide an exception from the requirement to apply Site Review to <br />properties that are across adjacent, across an alley, or across a street from land within a historic <br />district if they are zoned S-DR. <br />EC 9.8424 Refinement Plan Amendment Approval Criteria. The planning commission shall <br />evaluate proposed refinement plan amendments based on the criteria set forth <br />below, and forward a recommendation to the city council. The city council shall <br />decide whether to act on the application.

Implementation of the proposal will generally <br />further the goals and policies of the Whiteaker Plan, by retaining the existing mixed-use designation <br />City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 40 <br />
