1400 Cross Street LLC Page 2 of 12 <br />Metro Plan Amendment <br />Map 17-04-25-41, Tax Lot 7000; Map 17-04-25-42, Tax Lot 100 <br />October 23, 2020 <br />designated the area surrounded by Cross Street, Polk Street and the Southern Pacific Railroad as being <br />appropriate for light industrial uses. The remainder of the area of request was designated as appropriate <br />for mixed use." <br />In 1987, Chef Francisco requested an amendment to the 1978 Whiteaker Refinement Plan to allow for an <br />expansion of its manufacturing plant on Railroad Avenue. The expansion added between 10,000 to <br />12,000 square feet of plant space to their existing facility at 1400 Cross Street but required additional <br />employee parking. Chef Francisco requested that three of the tax lots they owned across the street (map <br />and tax lots 17-04-25-41, 5900, 6000, and 6100) that were designated Medium-Density Residential in the <br />Whiteaker Plan and zoned R-2 Limited Multiple-Family Residential, be rezoned to Mixed Use so that <br />parking could be put on the lots. Parking lots were prohibited in R-2. The refinement plan amendment <br />was approved so Chef Francisco could add 100 employees to the Eugene facility instead of closing the <br />Eugene plant. Emerald Village now sits on those tax lots and benefited from the rezoning of these <br />properties to mixed-use. <br />By 1993, the City was in the process of adopting the current Whiteaker Refinement Plan. Staff Notes from <br />the Eugene Planning Commission Public Hearing for the South Sladden Zone Change Request (Z-93-25 <br />and Z-93-26) note that the zone changes to redesignate the 1400 Cross Street site from 1-2 to 1-2/SR was <br />consistent with the Metro Plan.
