Attachment 1 <br />urban lands located within the City limits of Eugene, the tree regulations included in the Willamette River <br />Greenway Code Amendments will balance Goal 15's expectation of development within the Greenway <br />boundaries with maintenance and restoration of the natural scenic qualities of the Greenway. <br />Aggregate extraction Extraction of known aggregate deposits may be permitted when <br />compatible with the purposes of the Willamette River Greenway and when economically feasible, <br />subject to compliance with ORS 541.605 to 541.695, ORS 517.750 to 517.900 and subject to <br />compliance with local regulations designed to minimize adverse effects on water quality, fish and <br />wildlife, vegetation, bank stabilization, streamflow, visual quality, noise, safety and to guarantee <br />necessary reclamation; <br />The Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments do not include any lands designated for uses related to <br />extraction of aggregate deposits. According to the Metro Plan, the only lands specifically designated for the <br />extraction of sand and gravel along the Willamette River exist beyond the City's Urban Growth Boundary, <br />outside of the area affected by these amendments. <br />j. Development away from river Developments shall be directed away from the river to the <br />greatest possible degree; provided, however, lands committed to urban uses within the Greenway <br />shall be permitted to continue as urban uses, including port, industrial, commercial and residential <br />uses, uses pertaining to navigational requirements, water and land access needs and related <br />facilities; <br />As discussed under the Greenway compatibility review requirements of Goal 15 below, the City Council finds <br />that the combination of Greenway Setbacks, and standards for tree preservation, native landscaping and access <br />to the river included in the Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments will direct development away from <br />the river to the greatest possible degree while also appropriately balancing the allowance for development of <br />properties within the Greenway according to existing zoning and plan designations. Lands committed to urban <br />uses according to existing zoning and plan designations will continue to be permitted, subject to Willamette <br />Greenway Permit approval, consistent with this requirement. <br />k. Greenway setback --A setback line will be established to keep structures separated from the river in <br />order to protect, maintain preserve and enhance the natural, scenic, historic and recreational <br />qualities of the Willamette River Greenway, as identified in the Greenway Inventories. The setback <br />line shall not apply to water-related or water-dependent uses. <br />As discussed under the Greenway compatibility review requirements of Goal 15 below, the City Council finds <br />that the establishment of Greenway Setbacks included in these Code Amendments will keep structures <br />separated from the river as required to protect, maintain preserve and enhance the natural, scenic, historic and <br />recreational qualities of the Willamette River Greenway. More specifically, the clear and objective track approval <br />standards for proposed housing within the Greenway include a prohibition on the development of new <br />structures within the Greenway setback except for pedestrian pathways and public accessways as necessary in <br />support of water-related uses and enjoyment of the river. Willamette Greenway Permit applications for <br />development of non-residential uses, such as recreational facilities that qualify as water-related or water- <br />dependent uses adjacent to the river, will continue to require approval under the City's discretionary track <br />approval criteria. <br />OAR 660-015-0005 F.3. sets out the Greenway compatibility review requirements to be implemented under <br />Goal 15, which are further addressed below: <br />Page 21 of 125 16 <br />
