1400 Cross Street LLCPage 3of 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 /> <br />determined by refinement plans on a local level. (For example, the Whiteaker Refinement Plan <br />includes several areas where a mix of compatible uses, based in part on existing development, <br />are designated.) In the absence of a refinement plan, the underlying plan designation shall <br />e II-E- <br /> <br />The Whiteaker Refinement Plan noted a <br />portion of the South Sladden Area as <br />appropriate for a mix of uses including light- <br />medium industrial, commercial, and residential <br />uses. The 1400 Cross Street property <br />remained designated for industrial use at the <br />time of the 1994 Whiteaker Refinement Plan <br />update because Chef Francisco was still in <br />business at the facility. However, by 1995, <br />Chef Francisco pulled out of Eugene and <br />moved its production to Pennsylvania. Since <br />then, other industrial businesses have tried to <br />make a go of it at this facility, including the <br />current owners, and found that the site was too <br />small for their operating needs. The 1400 <br />Cross Street site is also in a transition area; an <br />area of the Whiteaker neighborhood that has <br />been the focus of previous land use decisions <br />and business revitalizations. The proposed <br />amendment, if approved, would expand the <br /> South Sladden Area of Whiteaker <br /> 2020 <br />mixed-used area to encourage a diversity of <br />land uses and may result in fostering new <br />employment and medium density residential <br />opportunities in the area. <br /> <br />Physical Setting <br />The site is located east of North Polk Street, southwest of Railroad Boulevard, and south of Cross Street. <br />The site is comprised of two tax lots (Map 17-04-25-41, Tax Lot 7000 and Map 17-04-25-42, Tax Lot 100) <br />and is approximately 4.62 acres in size. There are industrial businesses located on lot 100 and one retail <br />business located on lot 7000. <br /> <br />Development Objective <br />The development objective is to adjust the Metro Plan and Whiteaker Plan designation of the two tax lots <br />from Light Medium Industrial (LMI) to Mixed-Use (MU). The objective also includes changing the base <br />zoning from Light Medium Industrial (LMI) to Whiteaker Special Area (S-W). The overlay zoning of Site <br />Review (/SR) currently on a portion of the site would be expanded to include the entire site. The applicant <br />is submitting concurrent Metro Plan Amendment, Refinement Plan Amendment, and Zone Change <br />applications for the subject property. No development or use is identified at this time. <br /> <br />COMPLIANCE WITH REFINEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS <br />Applicable requirements regarding refinement plan amendments can be found in Sections 9.8421 through <br />9.8424 of the Eugene Code.
