p) EC 9.4815 /WB Wetland Buffer Overlay Zone Siting Requirements. <br />q) EC 9.4915 /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Siting Requirements <br />r) An uncodified ordinance establishing a specific S -H Historic Special Area Zone, a copy <br />of which is maintained at the city's planning and development department. <br />While subsection (a) EC 9.2735 Residential Zone Siting Requirements includes requirements for R 1.5 <br />zoning there are no specific siting standards for R -2 Medium Density Residential zoned property; <br />therefore this criterion is not applicable. <br />EC 9.8865(5) In cases where the NR zone is applied based on EC 9.2510(3), the property <br />owner shall enter into a contractual arrangement with the City to ensure the area is maintained <br />as a natural resource area for a minimum of 50 years. <br />EC 9.8865(5) is inapplicable in this instance, as the proposed zone change does not include application of <br />the NR zone. <br />Transportation Planning Rule: <br />The Transportation Planning Rule (TPR)(OAR 660 - 012 - 0060(1)) requires compliance if a change to a <br />functional plan, acknowledged comprehensive plan, or land use regulation would significantly affect <br />an existing or planned transportation facility. The Hearings Official in the zone change decision for <br />Hahn, et al (City file Z 08 -9) concluded that City of Eugene's zoning map changes are not categorically <br />excluded from the Transportation Planning Rule (Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 660 - 012 - 0060). <br />Public Works staff has reviewed the proposal and notes that no significant affect to the transportation <br />system will occur from the proposed zone change. It is expected that under the existing zoning of R -1 <br />and I -3, 26 PM peak hour trips could be expected. This is based on the 1.5 acres of currently R -1 zoned <br />property developing to the R -1 maximum of 14 dwelling units per acre at 1.1 trips per single family <br />dwelling unit (Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE): SFD 210) resulting in 23 PM peak hour trips <br />and the 0.25 acre portion zoned for I -3 heavy industrial generating 3 PM peak hour trips. (Peak trip <br />rate for industrial uses: 0.95 per thousand square feet of lease area ( TSFLA) Average industrial <br />coverage is 30% of lot, which in this case 3,267 SF; the TSFLA would be 3.27. 3.27 x 0.95 = 3 peak <br />trips). <br />Based on the reasonable worst case development scenario, the proposed medium density zoning is <br />expected to generate 28 PM peak hour trips. This PM peak hour number is based on the total acreage (1.75 <br />acres) being developed with 49 multi - family apartments to the maximum density for R -2 (28 dwelling units <br />per acres) each generating 0.58 peak hour trips (ITE Code Apartments 200). The greatest increase due to <br />the zone change would be 2 additional trips entering the site in the PM peak hour. Based on the <br />anticipated trip generation, the proposed change from R -1 and 1 -3 to R -2 will result in a minor contribution <br />of trips. Further, given the current operating levels at adjacent streets, Public Works staff confirmed that <br />the contribution of trips will not exacerbate existing traffic problems in the area, nor would the proposal <br />change the functional classification of adjacent streets. Therefore, the proposed change in zone results in <br />no significant effect on any planned or existing facilities under OAR 660 - 012- 0060(1)(a), (b) or (c) and, <br />therefore, OAR 660- 012 - 0060(2) is inapplicable in this instance. The Oregon Department of Transportation <br />ODOT) reviewed the land use application and had no comment on the proposal. <br />Staff Report (Z 10 -3) July 2010 6 <br />HO Agenda -Page6 <br />441
