Background/Application Materials

DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT LAND USE COMPONENTS CA 19-1, RA 19-1, Z 19-5, WG 19-3, ST 19-3, and SDR 19-2 April 19, 2019 through WR105.1 (Exhibit B.3 Water Resources Standards Review Plan Set) detail the proposed Riverfront Park improvements. The proposal amends the S-DR Zone (Exhibit A). The S-DR Zone was designed with the specific intent of compatibility with nearby uses including recreational lands. The S-DR Zone includes height standards that restrict the maximum height of buildings as development approaches cultural landscape and open space areas adjacent to the Willamette River, thus creating a step-down effect that limits the scale of buildings near recreational areas. The maximum height of buildings in the proposed S-DR/CL sub-district, the designation for cultural landscape and open space areas, is 30 feet consistent with maximum height standards in the NR and PRO Zones. The proposal is designed to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses. The above findings demonstrate the proposals compatibility with recreation lands, parks, and open space owned by the City. Based on these findings, this criterion is satisfied. (6) When site review approval is required, the proposed development will be consistent with the applicable site review criteria. The proposal does not involve or require Site Review. This criterion does not apply. (7) The proposal complies with all applicable standards explicitly addressed in the application. An approved adjustment to a standard pursuant to provisions beginning at EC 9.8015 of this land use code constitutes compliance with the standard. The above findings demonstrate compliance with applicable standards explicitly addressed in this application. No adjustment to standards is requested or needed. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. Based on the preceding findings, the request is consistent with applicable Willamette Greenway permit criteria of approval. s City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 59
