Attachment 1 <br />F.3. Greenway Compatibility Review: Cities and counties shall establish provisions by ordinance for the <br />review of intensifications, changes of use or developments to insure their compatibility with the Willamette <br />River Greenway. Such ordinances shall include the matters in a through a below: <br />a. The establishment of Greenway compatibility review boundaries adjacent to the river within which <br />review of developments shall take place. Such boundaries in urban areas shall be not less than 150 feet <br />from the ordinary low water line of the Willamette River, in rural areas such boundaries shall include all <br />lands within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway; <br />The City of Eugene's Greenway compatibility review boundaries include all lands within the boundaries of the <br />Willamette River Greenway. EC 9.8805 provides that Willamette River Greenway compatibility review, in the form <br />of review of a Willamette River Greenway Permit application, is required for all intensifications of use, changes in <br />use and development that occurs within the boundaries of the Greenway. The Code Amendments do not alter or <br />amend the City's Willamette River Greenway compatibility review boundaries. The City Council therefore finds <br />that Willamette Greenway Code Amendments are consistent with this implementation measure. <br />b. The review of intensification, changes of use and developments as authorized by the Comprehensive <br />Plan and zoning ordinance to insure their compatibility with the Greenway statutes and to insure that <br />the best possible appearance, landscaping and public access are provided. Such review shall include the <br />following findings, that to the greatest possible degree: <br />(1) The intensification, change of use or development will provide the maximum possible landscaped <br />area, open space or vegetation between the activity and the river; <br />The City Council finds that the clear and objective approval criteria included in the Willamette Greenway Code <br />Amendments will ensure that, to the greatest possible degree, the intensification, change of use, or <br />development proposed by a Willamette Greenway Permit applicant that proceeds under the clear and <br />objective track in EC 9.8812 will provide the maximum possible landscaped area, open space or vegetation <br />between the activity and the river. <br />The Willamette River Greenway Setback: <br />The Willamette River Greenway Setback established by Willamette River Greenway Setback Map, adopted as <br />Exhibit to the Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments will prevent an applicant who chooses to <br />proceed under the clear and objective track from building any structures within the setback area except <br />pedestrian paths and public accessways proposed or required for compliance with clear and objective approval <br />criteria regarding access to and along the river. The prohibition on structures within the setback includes <br />fences and solid or masonry walls. The setback therefore ensures an area of open space and vegetation <br />between the activity and the river. <br />Prior to adoption of the Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments, the City Council adopted, and the <br />Land Conservation Development Commission acknowledged, Willamette River Greenway Setbacks in three <br />areas of the Greenway: the area included in the boundary of the Willakenzie Area Plan; the area included <br />within the setback established by EC 9.3147, S-DR Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone Willamette <br />Greenway Setback; and the areas within the setbacks established by EC 9.3715(2), S-RP Riverfront Park Special <br />Area Zone - Development Standards, Setback Requirements and related Policy C.1 from the Riverfront Park <br />Study. The Willamette River Greenway Setback Map, adopted as Exhibit to the Willamette River <br />Greenway Code Amendments, establishes the Willamette River Greenway Setback that applies to applicants <br />that choose to proceed under the clear and objective Willamette River Greenway Permit approval criteria. The <br />Willamette River Greenway Setback incorporates the adopted and acknowledged Willamette River Greenway <br />setbacks included in the Willakenzie Area Plan, EC 9.3147, and EC 9.3715(2) and establishes the clear and <br />Page 22 of 125 17 <br />
