City of Eugene <br />Concurrent Conditional Use Permit & Adjustment Review Applications <br />January 27, 2026 <br />Page 12 of 43 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3.32 Priority development areas. Promote redevelopment and reuse in prioritized areas <br />including downtown, key corridors, and core commercial areas. <br /> <br />Based on the above findings, the proposed CUP and use are consistent with the Metro Plan and the <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan, as applicable. This criterion is met. <br /> <br />(2) The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposal are reasonably <br />compatible with and have minimal impact on the livability or appropriate development <br />of surrounding property, as they relate to the following factors: <br />(a) The proposed building(s) mass and scale are physically suitable for the type and <br />density of use being proposed. <br /> <br />Findings: The proposed building mass and scale are physically suitable for the type of use proposed. The <br />CUP includes one building for the proposed emergency department use and covered site structures for <br />long-term bike parking, an emergency generator, trash enclosure and other building/site utilities needed. <br />See the attached Site Plan and Exterior Elevations for more information. <br /> <br />The proposed building has a height of approximately 30 feet as measured from the adjacent grade to the <br />highest parapet on the building. The maximum height allowed in the C-2 zone is 120 feet. The proposed <br />building height is well below the objective, codified standard. <br /> <br />The proposed building accommodates the proposed emergency department within a single-story <br />building. The proposed single-story building is similar to the prevailing development pattern in the <br />surrounding area. The building mass and scale is suitable for the use, as well as the urban setting. The <br />proposed building is located close to the public sidewalk on West 6th Avenue and Grant Street, <br />consistent with code requirements and appropriate for its urban context. The project incorporates design <br />elements such as awnings or canopies, changes in building materials, columns, large windows, and <br />landscaping that reduce the perceived mass and scale of the building along the west, south, and east <br />elevations, while also creating a more pedestrian-friendly environment. Therefore, this criterion is met. <br /> <br />(b) The proposed structures, parking lots, outdoor use areas or other site <br />improvements which could cause substantial off-site impacts such as noise, glare <br />and odors are oriented away from nearby residential uses and/or are adequately <br />mitigated through other design techniques, such as screening and increased <br />setbacks. <br /> <br />Findings: The proposed buildings and site characteristics that potentially could create off-site impacts are <br />adequately mitigated through design, operational elements, and site context. The site is located in an <br />area that is predominantly commercial, industrial, and other non-residential uses. The areas to the west <br />and northwest are zoned commercial or industrial, and the majority of uses are consistent with that
