1400 Cross Street LLCPage 11of 14 <br />Zone Change <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 <br />no new streets are proposed. <br /> <br />Policies 9 and 10 apply because there are existing bike lanes along Railroad Boulevard and <br />there is an existing an LTD bus stop across from and in front of the site. Should bus shelters <br />be 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 <br />Railroad 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 <br />the South Sladden subarea do not refer directly to the subject property but do recognize the <br />st <br />mixed use nature of the existing land uses along Railroad Boulevard and West 1 Avenue. Policy <br />1 states: <br /> <br />Recognize the South Sladden area as appropriate for light-medium industrial, commercial, <br /> <br /> <br />Although the zoning sought (Whiteaker Special Area) is not specifically mentioned in this policy, <br />the policy does recognize the mixed-use nature of the area. One policy directly related to the <br />Whiteaker Special Area zone 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 <br />Special Area with the 2001 land use code update.) <br /> <br />This zone change proposal is consistent with this policy, provided the site review subdistrict is <br />applied to the property upon rezoning. <br /> <br />Therefore, the proposed Zoning Map amendment will be consistent with the above refinement plans. <br /> <br />(3) The uses and density that will be allowed by the proposed zoning in the location of the <br />proposed change can be served through the orderly extension of key urban facilities and <br />services. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />The Satre Group -www.satregroup.com <br /> <br />
