DRAFT WILLAMETTE RIVER GREENWAY DESIGN PLAN
<br />points between buildings. In the middle portion of the subject site, the setback aligns with the eastern
<br />edge of the proposed relocated Riverfront Trail, is approximately 120 feet in width, and includes all areas
<br />designated for Riverfront Park use between the trail and the river. Further south, the setback aligns with
<br />the eastern perimeters of the Steam Plant and Willamette Substation and includes all areas between those
<br />properties and the river. In the southern extent of the project site, the setback is approximately 50 feet and
<br />encompasses additional areas designated for park or cultural landscape and open space uses and riparian/
<br />bank enhancement.
<br />In total the Willamette Greenway Setback protects 3.67 acres of the subject site. Adoption of the setback
<br />ensures that no new buildings will be constructed within the setback, that adequate public access is
<br />provided along the river frontage, that limited existing habitat is preserved, and that the remaining natural
<br />vegetative fringe is protected. The setback for the downtown riverfront site is codified at EC 9.3147 and
<br />applies to properties zoned S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone.

<br />WG 18-2, University of Oregon, North Campus
<br />The University of Oregon North Campus area consists of all University-owned land between Franklin
<br />Boulevard and the Willamette River and bisected by the Union Pacific railroad tracks. As part of obtaining
<br />a new Conditional Use Permit for the area, the University of Oregon established a Master Site Plan to
<br />connect people to the Willamette River and to accommodate essential future development. Of the 77 total
<br />acres within the North Campus area, the Master Site Plan allocates land for conservation (41 open space
<br />(37%), recreation fields (9%), and new and existing buildings (13%). The University of Oregon established
<br />a Willamette Greenway setback line for the North Campus area in order to keep structures separated from
<br />the river and to protect, maintain, preserve, and enhance the natural, scenic, historic, and recreational
<br />qualities of the Willamette Greenway. As illustrated on the Regulatory Plan, the setback line is coterminous
<br />with the required 100-foot conservation area setback from the top of bank of the Willamette River as
<br />established by the Water Resources (/WR) Conservation Overlay Zone.

<br />In addition, EC 9.3715 provides for a setback of at least 35 feet from the top of bank of the Willamette River.
<br />The setback applies to all properties zoned S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone.
