optimize the visual personal accessibility of new development in C-2 to neighborhood residents, <br />consistent with this Metro Plan policy. <br />E.6 Local jurisdictions shall carefully evaluate their development regulations to ensure that they address <br />environmental design considerations, such as, but not limited to, safety, crime prevention, aesthetics, <br />and compatibility with existing and anticipated adjacent uses (particularly considering high and medium <br />density development locating adjacent to low density residential). <br />These Code Amendments would add additional design standards for development on C-2 zoned <br />properties located within the city limits and the Neighborhood Plan Boundary, including transition <br />standards for properties abutting R-1 zoned land. These transition standards consider the compatibility <br />between higher density development adjacent to low density residential, consistent with this Metro <br />Plan policy. The additional design standards referenced under E.5 are also consistent with this Metro <br />Plan policy, as they contribute to environmental design, such as safety and aesthetics. <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan Policies <br />The currently adopted chapters of the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan include Economic <br />Development, Transportation, Administration & Implementation, and Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. <br />Economic Development <br />3.6 Responsible economic development. Support economic development initiatives that reflect long- <br />term priorities, improve community resilience to climate change and natural hazards, improve energy <br />efficiency or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance opportunities to borrow, rent, or otherwise <br />make better use of underutilized public and private assets. <br />The Code Amendments, particularly the list of prohibited uses on C-2 zoned properties located within <br />both the city limits and within the River Road -Santa Clara Prohibited Uses Area [see Map 9.2161(11)], <br />reflect long-term priorities for both the River Road and Santa Clara Neighborhood Organizations as well <br />as the City. The prohibited uses are mostly auto -oriented uses and removing them will help work <br />towards the City's transportation and climate goals, consistent with this comprehensive plan policy. <br />3.7 Home-based and microenterprises. Promote the development of small, locally -owned businesses <br />that have minimal adverse impacts on their surrounding neighborhoods. <br />The Code Amendments allow for the display and sale of agricultural products grown offsite as a <br />permitted use on R-1 zoned land located within the city limits and within the Neighborhood Plan <br />Boundary. This is an opportunity that could lead to the development of more locally -owned businesses, <br />or minimally, economic activity that has minimal adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods, <br />consistent with this comprehensive plan policy. <br />3.15 Adequate Land Supply. Designate an adequate number of sites within the urban growth boundary <br />to accommodate growing local businesses and new targeted industries, especially a diversified <br />manufacturing base that includes advanced manufacturing, food and beverages, wood products <br />manufacturing, regional distribution, trade, and services such as offices, software developers, <br />educational technology, corporate headquarters, and other employment uses. <br />12 <br />
