1400 Cross Street LLCPage 4of 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 />(including the adopted Buildable Lands Inventory). The study <br />for large parcels the city will meet the need for <br />industrial land from 2012-2032. The <br />Study recommends that many small parcels be expanded for redevelopment purposes if possible. This <br />parcel cannot be expanded due to existing physical constraints (the property is surrounded by streets). <br />The need is for large industrial parcels. There is ample supply of small industrial parcels. With the <br />Eugene area amply supplied with small industrial parcels, this site has lain largely fallow and underutilized <br />for a number of years. There is simply no demand for this particular small industrial site. <br /> <br />Yet, the parcels to the southeast of the subject property are currently designated as Mixed-Use in the <br />Metro Plan and neighborhood refinement plan and zoned Whiteaker Special Area, as are additional <br />properties further to the east and south, so the proposed rezoning would be compatible and contiguous <br />with existing zoning. This mixed-use area is thriving. There is demand for the uses permitted in the <br />mixed-use zone. Moreover, investment along a major street would lead to a more attractive environment <br />for residents and businesses, as well as an aesthetically pleasing streetscape for pedestrians, transit <br />riders, and bicyclists. <br /> <br />EC 9.8855 Applicability. Changes in zoning, including the application of or change of an overlay <br />zone or special area zone shall be processed as a Type III application as provided in EC 9.7300 <br />through EC 9.7340 Type III Application Procedures, with the following <br />(3) The proposed zone change involves a concurrent amendment to a refinement plan, the <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan or the adoption of a new refinement plan, in which case <br />the zone change shall be processed as a Type IV or Type V application as provided in EC <br />9.7400 through EC 9.7455 Type IV Application Procedures and EC 9.7500 through 9.7560 Type <br />V Application Procedures. <br />(4) The proposed zone change involves a concurrent amendment of the Metro Plan, in which case <br />the zone change shall be processed consistent with the Metro Plan Amendment Procedures <br />as provided in EC 9.7700 through 9.7730. <br /> <br />Response to EC 9.8850(3) and (4): The proposed Zoning Map amendment will comply with the <br />application process requirements in EC 9.8855(3) and (4). The amendment is quasi-judicial in nature and <br />includes a specific site with a concurrent Metro Plan diagram and Refinement Plan amendment. Due to <br />the concurrent nature of the plan amendments and this zone change, the three applications will be <br />processed as a Type I Metro Plan amendment. <br /> <br />EC 9.8860 General Requirements. <br />(1) Concurrent Review. Zone Change applications may be reviewed concurrently with certain <br />other land use applications, but only as provided in EC 9.8005 Applicability and Effect of <br />Application Requirements, Criteria, and Concurrent Review and in EC 9.8855 Applicability. <br /> <br />Response to EC 9.8860(1): Per EC 9.8005 if an initial proposal also requires a zone change the <br />applicant may elect to have the applications reviewed concurrently according to the highest <br />application type. The applicant is requesting that the zone change be processed concurrently with the <br />Metro Plan Amendment and Refinement Plan Amendment. Thus, the three applications will be <br />processed as a Type I Metro Plan Amendment. <br /> <br />(2) Overlay Zones. EC 9.1040 Establishment and List of Overlay Zones establishes overlay zones <br />that supplement the base zone regulations. Changes in zoning can include the designation of <br />an overlay zone in addition to the base zone. While some of these overlay zones have been <br />applied to a specific geographic area through a land use code amendment, other overlay <br />zones are applied on a case by case basis. In these cases, the overlay zone can be applied in <br />response to adopted plan policies or where the use of the overlay zone is necessary to <br />address future development considerations. <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />The Satre Group -www.satregroup.com <br /> <br />
