1. No Parking Resolution for County Streets: Lane County controls 76% of River Road Local Streets (S8% <br />of Santa Clara) and they have negligible capacity to enforce on -street parking standards. The reduc0on <br />in on-site parking requirements through the middle housing code amendments and other State <br />standards means that our experience with parking overflow near ECCO housing will just become more <br />intense. Many of the County Local streets in our neighborhoods aren't developed to urban standards <br />and have limited capacity to accommodate the overflow parking almost certain to occur with new <br />properMes lacking minimum on-site parking requirements. Without some way to regulate on -street <br />parking on a significant majority of our streets, further densificaDon will lead to more unsafe streets in <br />our neighborhoods. One potential resolution would be for the City Manager to include deliberation to <br />address the issue as part of the Climate Friendly and Equitable Community Parking Reform process. <br />2. Potential Loss of Commercial Proper0es: When we asked our neighbors to set goals for the <br />Neighborhood Plan, they placed strong emphasis on having more commercial opportunities, especially <br />restaurants, gathering spots & groceries. They also called for 20 Minute Neighborhoods-- businesses <br />they could easily walk or bike to. However, the staff decision to eliminate the proposed Corridor Mixed <br />Use zone leaves the majority of our current Commercial properties in the C-2 Community Commercial <br />Zone. This zone allows 100% of the properties in the zone to be residential with no commercial at all. <br />The eliminated Corridor Mixed Use zone would have required commercial use on the ground floor. <br />The economic study included in Sera Architect's River Road Corridor Study which showed that <br />economic demand for housing is high and commercial use is low. Without regulation requiring <br />it or some kind of incentive to encourage it, the commercial facilities we currently have may <br />well be replaced by multifamily housing that ironically will create an even greater need for the <br />commercial properties they replace. We encourage the City to conduct a feasibility study to determine <br />how to encourage more commercial services in the River Road/Santa Clara area. <br />3. Need for Neighborhood Specific Regulations for the River Road Corridor: We continue to believe <br />that we need neighborhood -specific regulations to guide the development of the River Road corridor. <br />We appreciate the C2 code changes proposed instead of a special area zone but recommend that you <br />reconsider a one -size -fits -all ordinance for all seven corridors, as proposed to be enacted in 2026. <br />I request that the following documents be added to the public record: <br />• Envision Eugene A Legacy of Livability Draft Proposal March 2, 2111 (posted on City <br />Website as Envison Eugene Draft Smaller file (attached) <br />• River Road Corridor Study December 2020 (attached) <br />• Euaene River Road Economic Studv 4/2019 by ECONorthwest <br />Notes from Envision Eugene A Legacy of Livability Draft Proposal <br />35 <br />
