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 April 19, 2019 <br />existing and anticipated adjacent uses (particularly considering high and <br />medium density development locating adjacent to low density residential). <br />E.7 The development of urban design elements as part of local and refinement <br />plans shall be encouraged. <br />E.8 Site planning standards developed by local jurisdictions shall allow for <br />flexibility in design that will achieve site planning objectives while allowing <br />for creative solutions to design problems. <br />E.9 Refinement plans shall be developed to address compatibility of land uses, <br />safety, crime prevention, and visual impact along arterial and collector <br />streets, within mixed-use areas. During the interim period before the adoption <br />of a refinement plan, these considerations shall be addressed by cities in <br />approving land use applications in mixed use areas by requiring conditions of <br />approval where necessary. <br />The proposal is designed to facilitate mixed-use, pedestrian friendly redevelopment, including <br />residential lands and the findings herein demonstrate consistency with other applicable planning <br />policies. The proposal does not change or affect existing /WR overlay zone protections established in <br />EC 9.4900-9.4980and other applicable protection measures and development standards. <br />Development standards in the S-DR Zone (Exhibit A), as amended, are site specific and designed to be <br />compatible with surrounding areas. The S-DR Zone includes development standards that regulate <br />building height and form as well as circulation patterns and view corridors, which are designed to <br />ensure compatibility with adjacent properties. The design elements of the S-DR Zone adhere to form- <br />based code principles and are intended to facilitate the redevelopment vision of the Downtown <br />Riverfront Concept Plan. The S-DR Zone includes a Design Review process, which provides flexibility <br />to employ creative solutions to design problems. Therefore, the proposed amendments.and zone <br />change are consistent with Metro Plan Policies E.1 through E.9. <br />Transportation Element <br />Land Use <br />F.1 Apply the nodal development strategy in areas selected by each jurisdiction <br />that have identified potential for this type of transportation-efficient land use <br />pattern. <br />F.2 Support application of the nodal development strategy in designated areas <br />through information, technical assistance, or incentives. <br />F.3 Provide for transit-supportive land use patterns and development, including <br />higher intensity, transit-oriented development along major transit corridors <br />and near transit stations; medium- and high-density residential development <br />within Y4 mile of transit stations, major transit corridors, employment centers, <br />and downtown areas, and development and redevelopment in designated <br />areas that are or could be well served by existing or planned transit <br />F.4 Require improvements that encourage transit, bicycles, and pedestrians in <br />new commercial, public, mixed use, and multi-unit residential development. <br />City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 34 <br />
