Slocum Orthopedics Page 5 of 9 Standards Review – Written Statement July 2,2026 The Satre Group • 375 West 4th Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 • www.satregroup.com Disturbance Area.” No site preparation, including but not limited to vegetation removal, may take place within 50 feet of the /WQ Management Area, until such verification has been provided. Finding: Prior to the issuance of any development permit, the /WQ Management Area setback will be accurately demarcated in the field by a prominent and continuous protective feature identifying the area as a "No Disturbance Area," as required by this criterion. The applicant has acknowledged the applicability of the Standards Review process and has established protective demarcation of the Water Quality Management Area. No site preparation activities, including vegetation removal or other disturbance, are being conducted within the Water Quality Management Area or within 50 feet thereof pending completion of the Standards Review process and verification by the City. Compliance with this requirement will be maintained prior to issuance of any development permit. Therefore, this criterion is met. (2) Uses Permitted Within /WQ Management Areas. Subject to any applicable development permits, the following uses are the only uses permitted outright within the /WQ Management Area: (a) Vegetation Planting and Management. (b) Removal of Plants and Vegetation. (c) Maintenance, Repair and Reconstruction Activities. (d) Emergency Activities. (e) Construction and Maintenance of Vegetated Stormwater Management Facilities. Swales, filter strips, constructed wetlands, and other vegetated stormwater management facilities for stormwater quality or flow control are permitted if otherwise approved through the provisions of EC 9.6791 through 9.6797 in accordance with the Stormwater Management Manual adopted by administrative order of the city manager; Finding: Pursuant to EC 9.4780(2)(e), vegetated stormwater management facilities, including swales, filter strips, constructed wetlands, and other stormwater quality and flow control facilities, are permitted within the Water Quality Management Area when approved in accordance with EC 9.6791 through 9.6797 and the City of Eugene Stormwater Management Manual. The proposed development consists of a medical facility located outside the Water Quality Management Area. The project's stormwater management system has been designed in accordance with applicable City stormwater standards, with the majority of stormwater treatment and detention facilities located outside the Water Quality Management Area. Stormwater is conveyed via an underground piped system to a flow-control facility located within the bank area of the stormwater conveyance channel. As a vegetated stormwater management facility, this use is expressly permitted under EC 9.4780(2)(e). The need for this Standards Review arises not from the stormwater facility itself and the associated outfall, but from the temporary disturbance of vegetation and associated restoration activities within the Water Quality Management Area required to construct the facility and conveyance improvements. Therefore, the proposed use is permitted under EC 9.4780(2)(e), and this criterion is met. (3) Uses Subject to Standards Review Within the /WQ Management Area. Unless prohibited by subsection (4), or permitted outright in subsection (2), the following uses are permitted, subject to the standards review process beginning with EC 9.8460. Consistency with the specific standards provided or referenced for each use below shall be used as the criteria for approval. These uses may require additional development permits pursuant to other provisions of this code. (a) Construction of private water quality improvements, including stabilization or reconfiguration of channels and pond banks to improve stability and installation of aeration features. Subject to EC 9.4790 /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone Development Standards (1) through (3) and (7) through (11); Finding: Pursuant to EC 9.4780(3)(a), the construction of private water quality improvements and similar improvements, is permitted subject to Standards Review and compliance with the applicable development standards of EC 9.4790(1) through (3) and (7) through (11). The proposed development includes stormwater management improvements designed to collect, convey, and control stormwater runoff generated by the medical facility development. While the primary stormwater facility is located outside the Water Quality Management Area, portions of the associated conveyance and flow-control infrastructure
