The proposed historic zoning modestly expands the range of uses permitted under the existing zoning designation on this large city lot. No extension of key public facilities or services is proposed at this time. Any future improvements or extensions, if required, can be provided in an orderly and efficient manner consistent with applicable standards. Therefore, EC 9.8865(3) is met. (4) The proposed zone change is consistent with the applicable siting requirements set out for the specific zone in: (f) EC 9.2735 Residential Zone Siting Requirements. Response: This zone change application includes proposed Siting Requirements , setbacks and lot coverages, that establish the subject property as the specific site for the requested S -Area Tree Top House Historic Zone. Refer to Exhibit A - S-Area Historic Tree Top House Zone. This criterion is met. (5) In cases where the NR zone is applied based on EC 9.2519(1)(b), the property owner shall enter into a contractual arrangement with the city to ensure the area is maintained as a natural area resource for a minimum of 50 years. Response: There is no NR zone involved in this zone change application. Therefore, this criterion does not apply. Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-012-0060(1)): Goal 12 Transportation of the Statewide Planning Goals, adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), must be specifically addressed as part of the requested zone change and in the context of Oregon Administrative Rules, as follows. If an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation (including a zoning map) would significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures as provided in section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section (3), (9) or (10) of this rule. (9) Notwithstanding section (1) of this rule, a local government may find that an amendment to a zoning map does not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility if all of the following requirements are met. (a) The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing comprehensive plan map designation and the amendment does not change the comprehensive plan map (b) The local government has an acknowledged TSP and the proposed zoning is consistent with the TSP; and (c) The area subject to the zoning map amendment was not exempted from this rule at the time of an urban growth boundary amendment as permitted in OAR 660-024-0020(1)(d), or the area was exempted from this rule, but the local government has a subsequently ack nowledged TSP amendment that accounted for urbanization of the area. Response: The City of Eugene's adopted Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan (2035 TSP) serves as the City's acknowledged local transportation system plan. "Chapter 3: Needs Assessment and Evaluation," of the 2035 TSP provides: “The needs assessment and resulting projects... that establish a transportation system adequate to meet the identified local transportation needs are based upon the land use designations established by the Metro Plan. Because the 2035 TSP is based on the Metro Plan land use designations, any zone allowed within the land use designation is consistent with both the Metro Plan and this 2035 TSP."
