City of Eugene Final Plat Partition February 2, 2026 Page 7 of 10 As noted on the attached updated Site Plan, the public pedestrian and bicycle accessway will occur as part of the first parcel to be developed and shall be completed prior to issuance of final Certificate of Occupancy for this first parcel. Per the condition, in lieu of designing the proposed public “Pedestrian and Bicycle Accessway” in accordance with the City’s currently adopted Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways, and Accessways with the noted exceptions in this condition of approval, the Applicant may elect to pursue a discretionary design alternative, subject to approval by the Public Works Director. Any discretionary design shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width, located within the public accessway easement shown on the attached Land Partition Plat plan, and consistent with Condition 1 and Final Plat Partition approval. The updated Site Plan is provided for reference purposes only to demonstrate that the conditions of approval can be met as required for the Final Plat Partition application. Per this condition of approval and outlined above, the conditions of approval allow for design flexibility, so the required public pedestrian and bicycle accessway and signage location and design may be modified at the time of the required PEPI permit process as long as in compliance with the applicable Tentative Partition conditions of approval and Final Plat Partition decision. This condition is met. 3. Prior to final plat approval, the applicant shall submit an updated site plan the depicts the construction of a 10-foot-wide curbside sidewalk within the East 13th Avenue right-of-way to a minimum of 10 feet in width, incorporating tree wells instead of landscaped planter strips. The updated site plan shall include the following note, “Prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for Parcel 1, a 10-foot-wide curbside sidewalk within the East 13th Avenue right- of-way, incorporating tree wells instead of landscaped planter strips”. In follow-up coordination with City planning staff after the issuance of the Tentative Partition decision, staff explained that a minimum 10-foot-wide curbside sidewalk with tree wells is clearly required by code and the City’s currently adopted Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways, and Accessways, as provided in the findings for the decision by Eugene Code. While the requirement is clear, City planning, public works and urban forestry staff recognize that the curbside sidewalk may not represent the best-case scenario design outcome. For instance, as reflected in the draft street design guide (not yet adopted), a planter strip adjacent to the street provides better separation for pedestrians and long-term health for street trees (as opposed to tree wells or pits). In summary after coordination with City planning staff, there are two ways to meet the condition of approval: • Option 1: Provide a minimum 10-foot-wide curbside sidewalk with tree wells. • Option 2: The Applicant may propose an alternative design for review and approval as part of the Final Plat Partition application process to provide a public sidewalk beginning at the property line, with a minimum width adequate to accommodate higher pedestrian volumes in the commercially zoned West University area. A curbside planter strip shall be provided, with its width determined by the remaining space between the public sidewalk and the curb.
