City of Eugene <br />Concurrent Conditional Use Permit & Adjustment Review Applications <br />January 27, 2026 <br />Page 35 of 43 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />B. Adjustment Review Requests <br /> <br />As allowed under EC 9.2170(12)(f) and EC 9.8030(2), the Applicant requests an adjustment to the <br />building entrance standard at EC 9.2170(4)(c)(6) to provide the main entrance on the west façade <br />oriented toward the covered patient pick-up/drop-off area and larger parking area to best serve the <br />proposed specialize satellite ED use and users. <br /> <br />EC 9.2170 Commercial Zone Development Standards – General <br />(4) Setbacks <br />(c) Maximum Front Yard Setbacks. <br />6. Buildings fronting on a street must provide a main entrance facing the street <br />on any facade of the building within the front yard setback. A main entrance <br />is a principal entrance through which people enter the building. A building <br />may have more than one main entrance. Buildings having frontage on more <br />than one street shall provide at least one main entrance oriented to a street, <br />or to the corner where two streets intersect. <br /> <br />Overview: The proposed building is located within the front yard setback at the corner of West 6th Avenue <br />and Grant Street. However, the main entrance is more than 15-feet from West 6th Avenue and is oriented <br />toward the internal drive aisle and parking area to best serve arriving patients. This main entrance is <br />covered with a pick-up/drop-off area for patients to arrive and enter the medical facility in a convenient <br />and timely manner. Unlike a commercial storefront in the C-2 zone that benefits from maximizing visibility <br />and access to the passersby on the adjacent street, the proposed satellite ED is oriented internally to <br />serve the employees, arriving patients, and emergency medical personnel for this specialized use. For <br />people walking and those arriving by transit there are pedestrian walkway connections from Grant Street, <br />West 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue to the main entrance. <br /> <br />(2) Setback Standards Adjustment. Where this land use code provides that the setback <br />standards applicable to specific zones may be adjusted, the standards may be adjusted <br />upon finding that the proposed setback is consistent with the following applicable <br />criteria: <br />(a) Minimum and Maximum Front Yard Setback Adjustment. The minimum or <br />maximum required front yard setback may be adjusted if the proposal achieves all <br />of the following: <br />1. Contributes to the continuity of building facades along the street. <br />2. Creates an attractive pedestrian environment along all adjacent streets <br />3. Is compatible with adjacent development. <br />Maximum front yard setbacks may be adjusted without any requirement for pedestrian <br />amenities if the location of the front yard is unsafe or intrinsically unsuitable for <br />pedestrians or to protect disruption to significant natural resources.
