Attachment B WG Code Amendments (CA 22-1) Greenway Setback Comparison July 25, 2022 entirely clear and objective and for the purpose of reviewing housing development within the Greenway Boundary. Review Boundary Salem, Corvallis. and Milwaukie have a Greenway boundary that is defined on their zoning map, similar to Eugene (except Eugene's is shown on the Metro Plan diagram). Springfield, Salem, and Lake Oswego have a Greenway compatibility review boundary that extend 150 ft. from the ordinary low water line. Setbacks • Springfield requires a setback line be established in conjunction with development, and sets out criteria for its establishment, but does not prescribe a distance. • Corvallis applies a setback from top-of-bank based on districts that can be 20 ft., 50 ft., 100 ft., or a landscape strip consistent with their Riverfront Park Master Plan. • Salem requires the establishment of a riparian buffer that is typically 50 ft. to 75 ft. in width from the ordinary high-water line. However, the buffer can measure from 100 ft. to 125 ft. depending on bank slope. In those cases, the development receives a credit toward meeting water quality standards. • Milwaukie requires a vegetative buffer 25 ft. upland from the ordinary high-water line. • Lake Oswego requires that all structures be no closer than 25 ft. to specific geographic features along the river in three different areas. Review Procedures All cities review development within the Greenway Boundary or compatibility review boundary using a Type III process, with the exception of Salem, which reviews development outside of the compatibility review boundary (150 ft.) using a Type II process. Water- dependent or water-related uses are either allowed within the Greenway boundary, compatibility review boundary, and applicable setback (or buffer) or reviewed using a lesser process (Type I or Type II). 4 CAMERON MCCARTHY
