Slocum Orthopedics Page 4 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 (4) The site plan and application shall be signed by each of the professionals preparing the application, certifying that the application is true and correct to the best of his or her professional ability, and that, if applicable, the professional standards of his or her profession have been met therein. Finding: The site plan and application materials have been signed by the professionals responsible for their preparation. Accordingly, the application complies with the requirements of EC 9.8475(4), and this criterion is met. 9.4778 /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone – WQ Management Area. (1) Except as provided in subsections (2), (3) or (4) the /WQ Management Area is that area depicted on the city’s adopted Water Quality Waterways Map, including any amendments made to it. (b) For a waterway identified on the Water Quality Waterways Map as a waterway identified pursuant to section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act, or a tributary to such a waterway, the applicable setback is 25 feet from top of high bank (THB). For purposes of EC 9.4770 through 9.4790 and 9.8030(25), THB is the highest point at which the vertical rise of the waterway bank meets the horizontal grade of the adjoining topography. Finding: The stormwater conveyance channel located on the subject property is identified on the Water Quality Waterways Map as a tributary to a waterway listed pursuant to Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act. Therefore, pursuant to EC 9.4775(b), the applicable setback is 25 feet from the top of high bank (THB), defined as the highest point at which the vertical rise of the waterway bank meets the horizontal grade of the adjoining topography. As shown on the submitted site plans, a portion of the proposed stormwater pipe conveyance, storm pipe end section and rock energy dissipation outfall, will be located within the 25-foot setback area, and associated storm conveyance improvements will require temporary trenching excavation within the setback and bank area, but not within the channel. These activities are subject to Standards Review under the applicable provisions of EC 9.4780. The extent of the proposed impacts and the measures implemented to avoid, minimize, and restore disturbance within the setback area are described in these findings. Accordingly, the proposal has been evaluated based on the applicable 25-foot setback standard. (3) As part of the city’s consideration of an application for a development permit or land use approval, the city shall exclude from the /WQ Management Area: Fences and landscaping do not cause an area to be “developed” to warrant exclusion from the /WQ Management Area. All other uses and structures that were legally established prior to June 10, 2009 but that do not comply with the allowed uses and standards of the /WQ Overlay Zone are subject to EC 9.1200 through EC 9.1240 Legal Nonconforming Situations; Finding: The existing chain-link fence is located along the 25-foot THB setback and does not constitute development that would warrant exclusion from the WQ Management Area. The development project landscape plans included irrigation equipment within the setback; however, the applicant is removing the equipment from the setback and relocating it to a parking island outside the WQ Management Area as part of the building permit. No other structures or legally nonconforming uses are present within the setback. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with the applicable standards. 9.4780 /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone – Permitted and Prohibited Uses. Uses are permitted or prohibited within the /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone based on whether they occur outside or within the /WQ Management Area as follows: (1) Uses Permitted Outside /WQ Management Area. (a) The uses permitted on portions of a lot located outside of the /WQ Management Area are the same as those otherwise permitted on that lot without consideration of the /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone; and (b) Prior to issuance of a development permit, the city shall verify that the /WQ Management Area setback has been accurately demarcated by a prominent and continuous protective feature indicating a “No
