From:Janet Morrison <br />To:*Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager <br />Subject:River Road vision <br />Date:Monday, March 11, 2024 4:13:08 PM <br />[EXTERNAL ] <br />Dear City Council, Manager and Mayor, <br />Thank you for your hard work and leadership in our fair city. <br />My name is Janet Morrison and I live with my spouse in the River Road neighborhood. We <br />have lived in River Road residences since we moved here in 1987. We both love our part of <br />town and feel honored to have such easy access to bike paths and Rasor Park. <br />We support the Neighborhood Plan proposal and urge the City Council to approve the <br />recommended code changes. <br />For many reasons, it is appropriate to reduce maximum building heights from 120 feet to 65 <br />feet for C-2 properties that are within the Willamette Greenway and adjacent to R-1 <br />residences. I recommend adding code changes to C-2 properties that include ground level <br />commercial development with mixed use type property development.In addition, I support <br />restrictions on further auto related businesses. We need other types of services in River <br />Road, not more used car lots and auto repair facilities. <br />River Road is no longer the highway it was of yesteryear. These code changes will help to <br />support redevelopment that creates a thriving, more climate friendly community with <br />increased pedestrian friendly walkable environments and access to necessary services. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet Morrison <br />203 Hawthorne Ave, Eugene, OR 97404 <br />"It never hurts to see the good in someone they often act the better because of it." <br />Nelson Mandela <br />5
