EC 9.8865(1): The proposed zone change is consistent with applicable provisions of <br />the Metro Plan. The written text of the Metro Plan shall take precedence over the <br />Metro Plan diagram where apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. <br />Findings <br />The Metro Plan land use diagram designates the subject property for medium density <br />residential use. A change in zone to R -2 Medium Density Residential is consistent with this <br />designation. The Metro Plan generally supports the rezoning of land in order to be consistent <br />with the plan designation, and the Eugene Code implements the Metro Plan by providing <br />residential zoning for these uses. <br />The current R -1 Low- Density Residential and 1 -3 Heavy Industrial zoning are not consistent with <br />the Metro Plan diagram. <br />Conclusion <br />The proposed zone change request is consistent with the Metro Plan. The application complies <br />with this criterion. <br />EC 9.8865(2) : The proposed change is consistent with applicable adopted refinement <br />plans. In the event of inconsistencies between these plans and the Metro Plan, the <br />Metro Plan controls. <br />Findings <br />The applicable adopted refinement plan for the area of the proposed zone change is the River <br />Road Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RRSC). The Land Use Diagram (p. 2 -3) in the RRSC <br />indicates that the subject property is appropriate for medium density residential use, consistent <br />with the Metro Plan and the proposed R -2 Medium Density Residential zoning. The following <br />plan policies are also applicable to this request: <br />General Land Use Policy 2.0 (page 2 -7) states: <br />Adopt zoning that is consistent with the land use diagram and policies contained in the <br />land use element of the Urban Facilities Plan. <br />The RRSC land use diagram designates the area of the request, the northeast corner of the <br />Maxwell Road /Northwest Expressway for Medium Density Residential. The requested R -2 <br />Medium Density Residential zoning is consistent with this designation and as noted below, <br />consistent with the applicable policies. <br />General Land Use Policy 5.0 (page 2 -15) states: <br />Hearings Official Decision (Z 10 -3)430
