1400 Cross Street LLCPage 15of 16 <br />Refinement Plan Amendment <br />Map 17-04-25-41, Tax Lot 7000; Map 17-04-25-42, Tax Lot 100 <br />October 23, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Some of the above policies are directed towards City of Eugene public street improvement <br />projects (and not to private developers). Policies 2 and 3 do not apply because no new <br />arterial/bridge is proposed with this application and because Railroad Boulevard is a major <br />collector. <br /> <br />Policy 4 is applicable because North Polk Street and Cross Street are non-arterial streets that <br />either dead end or disperse traffic back to Railroad Boulevard; therefore, they reduce through <br />traffic in the Whiteaker neighborhood. <br /> <br />Policies 5 and 7 do not apply because the street system adjacent to the site is existing and no <br />new streets are proposed. <br /> <br />Policies 9 and 10 apply because there are existing bike lanes along Railroad Boulevard and there <br />is an existing an LTD bus stop across from and in front of the site. Should bus shelters be <br />necessary as a condition of development this could be addressed at a later date. <br /> <br />Policies 13 and 14 apply because street crossing is accomplished at the existing light at Blair <br />Boulevard or River Road because there is only a sidewalk on the north side of Railroad <br />Boulevard and there is an existing ADA sidewalk ramp on each side of North Polk and Railroad <br />Boulevard and Cross Street and Railroad Boulevard. <br /> <br />Policies 15 and 16 do not apply as there are no alleys or pedestrian ways adjacent to the <br />property. <br /> <br />Policies 17 and 18 could apply at a later date when a development plan is identified. <br /> <br />The proposal is consistent with the remaining portions of the Whiteaker Refinement Plan: <br />As noted above, the property is located within the South Sladden subarea. Land use policies for the <br />South Sladden subarea do not refer directly to the subject property but do recognize the mixed use <br />st <br />nature of the existing land uses along Railroad Boulevard and West 1 Avenue. Policy 1 states: <br /> <br />Recognize the South Sladden area as appropriate for light-medium industrial, commercial, and <br /> <br /> <br />Although the designation sought (Mixed-Use) is not specifically mentioned in this policy, the policy <br />does recognize the mixed-use nature of the area. The only policy directly related to the Mixed Use <br />designation is policy 2, which reads: <br /> <br />In the South Sladden area, change the zoning of parcels designated on the Whiteaker Plan <br />Diagram as mixed use to Whiteaker Mixed Use MU-W. Apply the site review subdistrict to all <br />property zoned MU-W.(MU-W Whiteaker Mixed Use District became S-W Whiteaker Special <br />Area with the 2001 land use code update.) <br /> <br />This proposal is consistent with this policy, provided the site review subdistrict is applied to the <br />property upon rezoning (see separate zone change application, being processed concurrently with <br />this refinement plan application). <br /> <br />(2) The refinement plan amendment addresses one or more of the following: <br />(a) An error in the publication of the refinement plan. <br />(b) New inventory material which relates to a statewide planning goal. <br />(c) New or amended community policies. <br />(d) New or amended provisions in a federal law or regulation, state statute, state <br />regulation, statewide planning goal, or state agency land use plan. <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />The Satre Group -www.satregroup.com <br /> <br />
