These permits are necessary because they are required by the City of Eugene S-RP Zone and Willamette Greenway designation, in which the property is located. The Applicant proposes to use this land for university uses (programs and activities carried out by the University of Oregon) and research that complements the university. The Applicant obtained prior Conditional Use 2 Permit approval for development on the subject property in 1988 primarily for the purposes of a research park (research that complements the university), also known as the Riverfront Research Park. Following Conditional Use Permit approval, the Applicant and City executed a Conditional Use Permit Agreement that, among other things, established a time schedule for completion of construction extending to October 10, 2012. The Conditional Use Permit expired on that date; therefore, a new Conditional Use Permit is necessary for any new development to be possible. The subject property is designated University Research by the Metro Plan and zoned S-RP by the Eugene Zoning Ordinance. Future development envisioned entails uses consistent with applicable adopted plans, policies, and standards, as described in this application. 1.2 Land Use and Development Requirements Within the City of EugeneÈs policy framework, this proposal is subject to zone specific approval criteria and standards at EC 9.3725 Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Approval Criteria and EC 9.8815 Willamette Greenway Permit Approval Criteria and Standards. This is a Type III request for review and approval of a concurrent Conditional Use Permit and Willamette Greenway Permit application to be held against the applicable criteria of approval in the Eugene Code. Findings demonstrating consistency with applicable approval criteria, policies, and standards are provided in Section 6 Approval Criteria and Standards. The attached materials and enclosed findings 1 The pre-application conference was scheduled and conducted as a project consultation meeting per instructions from City staff and occurred on Friday, January 5, 2018. 2 Conditional Use Permit CU 88-16 approved October 10, 1989; Execution of Conditional Use Agreement approved April 27, 1192; Approval of Modification to Final Conditional Use Permit MDA 09-05 approved December 11, 2009.

Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 10 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION 2.0INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE 2.1 Site Description The area of campus within the City of Eugene Riverfront Park Special Area Zone (S-RP) is comprised of about 77 acres of land owned by the University of Oregon, making up approximately 25% of the universityÈs nearly 300-acre campus. Called ÅNorth CampusÆ for the purposes of this land use application, this area of campus is north of Franklin Boulevard and uniquely situated. First and foremost, it features two water bodies, the Willamette River and the Millrace. In addition, the Union Pacific Railroad runs through the entire length of the property, dividing the land into ÅnorthÆ and ÅsouthÆ of the railroad tracks. The area north of the tracks contains remnants of a riparian river edge, large open grassyareas, a bike path, two physical education and recreation fields, and access to the Frohnmayer Bridge. This land was previously industrial and contains up to 20-feet of fill, causing the river bank to be steep. The area south of the tracks contains a mix of university and research park uses, including the universityÈs central power station and other buildings related to the operations of the university, fine art studios, the Urban Farm, university research, buildings that were developed as part of the Riverfront Research Park, surface parking lots, and a bike path along the Millrace. Franklin Boulevard (a state highway) lies just south of the property. The property is an important connector to Downtown Eugene and future EWEB property development. Figure 2-1.

Campus Context Map Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 12 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION 2.2Introduction/Master Site Plan The key component of this Conditional Use Permit request, as required by the City of Eugene Riverfront Park Special Area Zone (S-RP), is a for all land in the zone. EC 9.3725 Master Site Plan states: ÅThe master site plan for developments proposed within the S-RP zone shall be reviewed through the conditional use permit process provided in this land use code.Æ The purpose of the Master Site Planfor this Conditional Use Permit request is to connect people to the Willamette River and accommodate essential future development, allowing the University of 3 Oregon to meet its mission of teaching, discovery, and service. The universityÈs mission and purpose of the Master Site Plan align with the fundamental purpose of the S-RP zone to Åprovide for activities and uses that complement the research and educational functions of the Oregon 4 State System of Higher Education in general and the University of Oregon in particularÆand meets the objective to Årecognize the natural amenities of the site, balancing the opportunity for development to use those amenities with the publicÈs interest in proper protection and, where appropriate,use of them.Æ Being able to provide the necessary facilities and environments for current needs, growth and unforeseen change is critical to the success of faculty, students, and the operations of the university. Accommodating facilities that support the full breadth of student success aligns with the universityÈs purpose, which is devoted to Åeducating the whole person, and to fostering the next generation of transformational leaders and informed participants in the global community.Æ Through these pursuits, the university enhances the social, cultural, physical, and economic wellbeing of our students, Oregon, the nation, and the world. Planning for the full breadth of essential facilities in a way that facilitates the restoration of the riverfront, connects campus to the river, and makes use of land that the university owns is consistent with the universityÈs values, in particular with regard to: The success of the students, faculty, and staff who work and learn here. The unique geography, history and culture of Oregon that shapes our identity and spirit. Our shared charge to steward resources sustainably and responsibly. The Master Site Plan (further described in Section 5 and included in Exhibit A) commits the area between the railroad tracks and Willamette River primarily to conservation and open space opportunities and concentrates most of the potential building development south of the railroad tracks. It carefully balances the long-term needs of the university and desires of the community as a whole, addressing key interests in bicycle and pedestrian connectivity, river access, riparian restoration, safety, and active uses. Specifically, the Master Site Plan: 3 UO Mission: The University of Oregon is a comprehensive public research university committed to exceptional teaching, discovery, and service. We work at a human scale to generate big ideas. As a community of scholars, we help individuals question critically, think logically, reason effectively, communicate clearly, act creatively, and live ethically. 4 As discussed in Section 8.1, all references to the Oregon State System of Higher Education shall be considered references to the University of Oregon. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 13 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Strictly limits potential development north of the railroad tracks by establishing a 200-foot development setback from top of bank. Dedicates 31acres of 77 acres to conservation in addition to other open space. North of the railroad tracks, dedicates 25 of 42 acres to conservation along the entire length of the universityÈs riverfront. Restricts building coverage and heights well beyond the code allowances. Limits vehicular access and parking primarily to south of the tracks, and contains no new through-roads. Limits recreation field coverage to three fields (a net increase of one field) and commits to treating stormwater and mitigating lighting impacts if they are built. Of the 42 acres between the railroad tracks and Willamette River, the Master Site Plan proposes: 60% for conservation 20% for other open space 16% (maximum) for recreation fields 4% (maximum) for buildings The Master Site Plan is a set of drawings that establishes a regulatory framework well beyond code requirements that the university chooses to impose on itself. It contains a regulatory plan, a conceptual site plan showing a scenario of potential development over the course of decades, and conceptual plans for pedestrian and bicycle, vehicle, and service vehicle primary circulation. It is based on the Framework Vision Project (an 18-month-long planning study that was landscape- focused and explored how the university could accommodate growth on campus, further described in Section 3), a Conceptual Study of the universityÈs land between the railroad tracks and the Willamette River (further described in Section 3), and the land use code requirements for the Conditional Use Permit. It has been informed by feedback from university and community stakeholders gathered through public outreach (further described in Section 4). 2.3 Purpose (Why the University Needs a Conditional Use Permit) Unlike the majority of campus, which is in the Public Land Zone, the entire North Campus (delineated by the S-RP zone) needs a Conditional Use Permit in order for any development to occur. This is not a typical Conditional Use Permit application. It is not for a site-specific known development; rather, it is for a vast area of land for most of which the university has no definitive plans and/or funding to improve yet. However, a Conditional Use Permit is required for this area because of its unique and special location along the Willamette River. The university knows that it needs some of the land in North Campus for future buildings and year- round recreation fields, as found in the Framework Vision Project. It has limited land holdings and limited development opportunities and, as the university grows, it wants to do it in a way that preserves and improves upon the quality of campus that people enjoy today, with its beautiful interconnected open spaces, thoughtfully-designed buildings, and high-quality pedestrian environment. The university would be able to achieve this if it can accommodate growth and change in this part of campus. This Conditional Use Permit would be a first step in allowing the University of Oregon to plan for the future and improve the area. If the university does not receive a new Conditional Use Permit for North Campus, its ability to accommodate growth and change will be extremely limited, forcing the university to be unable to respond effectively to needs and opportunities. Consequences include but are not limited to: Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 14 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Locating new buildings in places that are inappropriate for those building types (such as an administrative building in areas of campus that are reserved for classrooms or student services). Building in designated open spaces. Having to purchase adjacent land and build in neighboring areas with potential negative impacts to neighbors. Further spreading university uses off-campus. Having limited or no options for surge or replacement space, which will become all the more necessary as the university builds and improves research facilities and offices for current and new tenure-track faculty. Not being able to attract new faculty and students due to the inability to provide essential facilities; KeepingNorth Campus in a situation where areas continue to be unsafe and an eyesore. Remaining isolated from the Willamette River, UOÈs most underappreciated natural asset. Connecting to the river will open opportunities for research, teaching outdoors, recreation, improving the ecology of the riverÈs edge, and improving pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. At the time the previous Conditional Use Permit was in place, the subject property was reserved primarily for the purposes of a research park, controlled by a university entity separate from the general university campus. Unlike the previous Conditional Use Permit, this permit would be primarily for the purpose of university uses, extending the general university campus across Franklin Boulevard. It would include a mix of university uses and university-related uses, such as but not limited to research, academic, administrative, outdoor recreation, outdoor research and education, conservation, and university housing. All of these uses are permitted in the zone. In addition, the proposed Master Site Plan for this Conditional Use Permit request is physically very different from that of the previous Conditional Use Permit (see Exhibit J, Attachment 4). The previous Master Site Plan proposed building development throughout the site and very close to the riverÈs edge and included public through-roads north and south of the tracks. The current proposed Master Site Plan (described throughout this document and in detail in Section 5) concentrates most of the building development south of the tracks, places strict limitations on development north of the tracks (including a 200-foot setback) to maximize conservation and open space opportunities, contains no new through-roads, and restricts vehicle circulation and parking primarily to south of the tracks.

Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 16 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION 3.0 PLANNING PROCESS 3.1 Planning Context The Master Site Plan for this Conditional Use Permit request is based on: The Campus Physical Framework Vision Project (Framework Vision Project); The Conceptual Study for the land between the railroad tracks and Willamette River; and The requirements of the Eugene Code (in particular, the approval criteria for the Conditional Use Permit and Willamette Greenway Permit). This Conditional Use Permit request is part of a four-step planning process for North Campus. The four steps include: 1.The Campus Physical Framework Vision Project (University of Oregon process - completed); 2.The North Campus Conditional Use Permit (City of Eugene process - underway); 3.The North Campus Amendment to the (University of Oregon process - Campus Plan forthcoming); and 4.The Campus Planning Process (University of Oregon process for any future projects Ã as needed). Figure 3-1. North Campus Planning Process (see Exhibit J, Attachment 5 for full size) 3.2 Framework Vision Project Commissioned by the university in 2014, the Campus Physical Framework Vision Project (Framework Vision Project) was an 18-month-long study by a team of nationally-regarded landscape architects and campus planners that was landscape-focused and explored how the university could accommodate growth and change on campus. Because the Framework Vision Project is not an adopted plan, but a tool for informing the universityÈs , amendments Campus Plan to the will also be necessary to implement its recommendations. The Campus PlanCampus Plan amendment for North Campus, which is part of the universityÈs internal planning process, will be undertaken and adopted after the CityÈs Conditional Use Permit review and approval process. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 17 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Completed in 2016 by Robert Sabbatini with PLACE Studio and Perkins + Will, the purpose of the Framework Vision Project was to create a comprehensive physical framework vision of open spaces and buildings, which would bring greater specificity to the and better inform Campus Plan decisions on how to accommodate growth and change, and preserve the beauty and functionality of the campus. While the Framework Vision Project did not establish whether or not (and how much) the university would grow, it assessed a series of different enrollment growth scenarios to help prepare the university to address potential growth in an informed and thoughtful way. The study looked at enrollment scenarios of 24,500 students (the enrollment at the time), 28,000 students, 31,000 students, and 34,000 students. Overall, the Framework Vision Project found that the current campus, which includes the North Campus area, has the capacity to accommodate growth to 34,000 students and beyond. It found that the campus can meet expansion needs by building upon the established and well-functioning framework of open spaces and pedestrian connectors. It also noted the universityÈs location along the Willamette River as an incredible opportunity that was underappreciated, and recommended ways to better connect campus to the river and improve the ecology of the riverÈs edge. Pertaining to North Campus, the Framework Vision Project found that the university needs some of this land to meet future growth. It found that the land north of the railroad tracks would be needed for three year-round physical recreation fields in addition to the two current fields (referred to as 5 outdoor classrooms) in alignment with the Campus Plan because they are an essential element of the universityÈs mission. The Framework Vision Project conducted extensive outreach to inform ideas and recommended actions. Throughout the study, the project team solicited feedback from a project advisory group, the Space Advisory Group, and the Campus Planning Committee, and from the wider community at five open houses and two public lectures. The project team also developed the interactive MyCampus survey and received feedback from nearly 1,400 students, faculty, staff, alumni and neighbors. Numerous siting options were tested to determine how best to accommodate the diverse mix of anticipated university uses (buildings, outdoor classrooms, and open spaces) within the context of preserving and enhancing the special and unique features of the campus environment. 3.3 Conceptual Study for the Land between the Railroad Tracks and the River In the summer of 2017, the university hired Cameron McCarthy Landscape Architecture and Planning to assist with the North Campus Conditional Use Permit project, including a Conceptual Study for the land between the railroad tracks and the Willamette River to further inform the development of the City-required Master Site Plan. The purpose of the Conceptual Study was to 5 ÅOutdoor classroomsÆ is the term used in the for open spaces that serve as vital classrooms Campus Plan rd (, 3 Edition, 2014, page 42). Outdoor classrooms used for curricular offerings include Campus Plan Gerlinger Green, all existing recreational fields, tennis courts, and the Urban Farm. Other open spaces may also serve informally (i.e., unscheduled) as outdoor classrooms. Many of these are designated open spaces in the . Designated open spaces are significant open spaces on campus, which are Campus Plan rd the fundamental and historic open spaces within the universityÈs open-space framework (, 3 Campus Plan . Edition, 2014, page 27 No buildings are allowed in these open spaces, and building projects must contribute toward their enhancement. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 18 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION 6 develop conceptual site plan options exploring how physical education and recreation fields (also known as outdoor classrooms), support facilities, restoration, river access, a reconfigured bike 7 path, areas for outdoor teaching, and other university uses could work together on the site. Because of the unique location along the river and strong interest in this area from members of the university and wider community, the university decided to do further study to test the ideas of the Framework Vision Project and understand what was feasible. The Conceptual Study included a Riparian Assessment and Management Report (by Mason, Bruce & Girard, Exhibit B), which provided a functional assessment of the riparian corridor along the 8 Willamette River and Millrace Outfall and upland habitat in the eastern portion of the study area. Riparian restoration goals for the Conceptual Study were informed by the report and confirmed by community feedback. The Conceptual Study went through multiple iterations to develop conceptual site plan options. As described in the Public Outreach section (Section 4), the Conceptual Study engaged in extensive outreach to inform the study. The Conceptual Study resulted in two final options that show how the universityÈs needs and community desires could work together (included in Exhibit J, Attachments 7A and 7B). The Conceptual Study found that: Only four fields would be feasible (two new fields and two replacement fields), considering site limitations, operational considerations, and riparian restoration goals. Therefore, one field could not be accommodated in North Campus; There would be enough room to lay back (re-grade) the bank to a more natural slope and provide riparian restoration areas at a width of at least 200 feet from the top of bankin many locations; It would be possible to align the bike path closer to the river (in the required 100-foot conservation setback) as well as align it further away outside the 100-foot setback; and The need to accommodate future development in North Campus is greater than the 9 Framework Vision Project suggests; therefore, limited building development north of the tracks could be proposed. 6 The Framework Vision Project identified a need for three year-round recreational fields in addition to the two existing grass recreational fields, totaling five fields in North Campus. Through further study and work with the focus group during the Conceptual Study, the project team found a need to replace the two existing grass fields with year-round fields. The existing fields are not playable year-round due to poor drainage, recovery time after use, and other maintenance considerations. 7 Several disciplines use the riverfront as an outdoor classroom, including courses in Anthropology, Art, Biology, Environmental Studies, Geology, Earth Sciences, History, Landscape Architecture, the Library, and through the Museum of Natural and Cultural History. (Information provided by Bitty Roy, UO Professor of Biology, Institute of Ecology and Evolution.) 8 Overall. the Riparian Assessment found that the study area provides many of the necessary functions and values necessary for healthy local aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but that the previous land uses have degraded or removed the historic, native vegetation composition in many locations. The report provides recommendations for riparian management, addressing protection of water quality, revegetation and habitat enhancement, erosion control, promoting biodiversity, and recreation, 9 While the Framework Vision Project noted that the land north of the tracks would not be needed for buildings, it did not take into account all of the space that the university currently leases off-campus, some of which the university may consider consolidating on campus one day. Also, the Framework Vision Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 19 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Through consideration of the reduction in the number of fields, community feedback, and further analysis of potential university needs, the university determined it would propose a limited number of buildings north of the railroad tracks in the areas closest to existing and planned public infrastructure. While none of the potential buildings have been assigned specific uses, potential building types (that came up as ideas and potential needs during the Conceptual Study) include a 10 field house to support the recreation fields, a facility for the Outdoor Program, research greenhouses, an academic and/or research building focused on ecology, and other potential academic/and or research buildings. The conceptual study confirmed that the scale of these buildings could be accommodated in the limited areas. During the Conceptual Study, some members of the university and wider community questioned the universityÈs need to locate physical education and recreation fields north of the tracks due to their concern about the impact of year-round fields (if artificial turf with field lights) on the river environment and wildlife. When the Framework Vision Project assessed locations for fields, it found that they could not be accommodated on existing campus open spaces due to their required dimensions. Amongst many other considerations, siting the fields elsewhere on campus would displace other uses that needed to be in those locations (in addition, a field would not necessarily fit in these locations). It is also not possible to locate recreational fields on top of buildings or parking structures because the required field footprint greatly exceeds possible building footprints. Possible locations for recreational fields on campus lands were reassessed as part of the Conceptual Study and confirmed the results of the Framework Vision Project. The decision to allow physical education and recreation fields (outdoor classrooms) in North Campus is based on the need for physical education and recreational classes and activities to be in proximity to the students and other classroom facilities. The universityÈs current recreational fields (four artificial turf fields and two grass fields) accommodate thousands of students in physical education, club sports, and intramural sports annually. In addition, they accommodate open recreation for students and the community, university and community events, marching band practice, and summer camps. Specific timing for when the university will need additional recreation field capacity is not known. At the time the need is identified, the university would follow the process in the and Campus Plan conduct a site selection study. If the university decides to build new fields in North Campus (which would include a replacement of the existing two fields), the university would carefully consider field surface materials and implement design strategies to mitigate the impact of fields and potential lighting on the environment and wildlife. In addition, the fields would be configured to maximize their distance from the riverÈs edge, as shown in the Conceptual Study and further refined in the Master Site Plan (which further reduces the number of allowable recreation fields to Project suggested building sites in other areas of campus that may not be feasible. Therefore, the need to accommodate future development in North Campus is greater than the study suggests. As mentioned, the Framework Vision Project is not an adopted plan, but a study which serves as a tool for informing changes to the Campus Plan and decisions related to campus development. 10th The Framework Vision Project identifies its current Outdoor Program location on 18 Avenue and University Street as a potential site for a future academic building, which if developed, would displace the current Outdoor Program facility. The project team explored the idea of locating a replacement facility near the river because of the programÈs relationship to the river and outdoors. Being located near the river would be beneficial to its aquatic programs and nature courses.

This would allow for riparian restoration areas to be much wider than the 100-foot conservation setback required by the code. Through careful analysis of the site (including the Riparian Assessment and Management Report), and confirmed through engagement with UO faculty in the Ecology Focus Group, the project team determinedthat the edge of the river and riparian buffer were most critical in terms of restoration priorities because of the need to protect water quality and provide beneficial shade to aquatic 11 species dependent on cooler water. In addition, most ecological functions need at least a 100- 12 to 200-foot riparian buffer, with 200 feet accommodating the functions more optimally. It should be noted that the proposed 200-footsetback is from the top of high bank. When factoring the distance from the riverÈs edge to top of high bank, the proposed setback is about 250 to 300 feet and further from the riverÈs edge in most areas. The proposed setback allows more area for: Providing shade and cover that is beneficial to fish, birds, and animals (and not good for most 13 invasive plants); Removing the existing fill and re-grading the river bank to a more natural slope, allowing trees 14 to better access water, improving groundwater recharge, and improving views and access to the river; Improving flood storage function, removing sediment and contaminants, improving erosion 15 control, and increasing channel stability; Providing habitat for sensitive species; Passive recreation, such as soft trails; 16 Outdoor teaching related to ecology; and Creating a buffer from other potential uses, such as recreational fields and the bike path. After the Conceptual Study, in response to stakeholder and wider community feedbackgathered throughout the process, the university revised and clarified the Master Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit application in the following ways for the area north of the railroad tracks. All of these commitments are well beyond what the code would require (as further described in the description of the Master Site Plan (Section 5). Established a development setback of 200 feet from the top of bank (of the Willamette River and Millrace Outfall) for buildings and recreational fields, expanding opportunity for riparian and upland habitat restoration (required setback is 100 feet); Furtherreduced the proposed coverage (maximum footprint) of potential buildings (from 18% to 15% in Area 4, from 2% to 0.5% in Area 5, and from 25% to 16% in Area 6). This reduces the potential scale and quantity of buildings; Furtherreduced the proposed height of potential buildings proposed east of the Frohnmayer Bridge from 45 feet to 37 feet. This also helps to reduce the scale of buildings; 11 Riparian Assessment and Management Report by Mason, Bruce & Girard, 2018, pg. 10. 12 UO Riverfront Botanical Survey Presentation, 2012, Professor Bitty Roy, Institute of Evolution and Ecology and Biology Department. 13 UO Riverfront Botanical Survey Presentation, 2012, Professor Bitty Roy, Institute of Evolution and Ecology and Biology Department. 14 Riparian Assessment and Management Report by Mason, 2018, Bruce & Girard, pg. 11. 15 Riparian Assessment and Management Report by Mason, 2018, Bruce & Girard, pg. 10-11.

This would still accommodate the necessary types of physical education classes and field sports, and would likely accommodate the anticipated demand if the fields were designed to be year-round. This greatly increases the distance of the fields and potential field lights from the riverÈs edge and 100-foot required conservation area; Added an additional bike path optionfurther from the riverÈs edge, outside the 100-foot required conservation setback; Committed to mitigating impacts on stormwater runoff from potential fields; In addition to meeting code requirements, committed to implementing further strategies to mitigate adverse impacts of field lighting and bike path lighting toward the river; and Committed to restoring the riverÈs edge and Millrace conservation area as funds are available, and implementing best maintenance practices for managing riparian areas, consistent with the universityÈs existing Integrated Pest Management Plan.

Stakeholder engagement included groups internal to the university and stakeholders external to the university. Internal efforts focused on faculty, staff, students, and administrators. External efforts focused on community leaders, business leaders, city and agency representatives, neighboring property owners, river and ecology advocates,neighborhood associations, and other interested parties. This section summarizes the outreach that occurred in formally scheduled meetings. Many conversations, one-on-one meetings, information-sharing and phone calls also took place that were not formally scheduled. The public process started in July 2017. Outreach to-date has included: Eight focus group meetings (five internal, two external, and one combined internal/external); Two public open houses; Two neighborhood meetings; Information-sharing meetings with internal and external stakeholders and interested parties (ongoing); Individual interviews with community members representing key interests; Three Campus Planning Committee meetings; Five e-updates to an e-mail list of interested parties; Five e-updates to the community stakeholder focus group; Three updates in Around-the-O; and Sharing information on the project web page (ongoing), including open house materials and providing a function for public comment. It should be noted that the university also conducted outreach one year prior to the project, from May 2016 through October 2016, to understand areas of concern and interest. This effort included meetings with the Campus Planning Committee, faculty in the College of Design and Biology, PE&REC, Club Sports, Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, and representatives of neighborhood associations, adjacent community organizations, and local government (planning, transportation, parks and recreation).

It is required by the zoning code and serves as the framework for this Conditional Use Permit proposal. The Master Site Plan set contains a regulatory plan, a conceptual site plan showing a scenario of potential maximum or likely development, and conceptual plans for pedestrian and bicycle, vehicle, and service vehicle primary circulation. Supporting documents include an existing conditions plan and conceptual plans for utilities. The Master Site Plan documents are included in Exhibit A. Following is a description of the Master Site Plan drawings: Regulatory Plan (Sheet L01) The Regulatory Plan is the guiding component of the Master Site Plan. Its purpose is to establish restrictions that the university chooses to impose on itself beyond the code requirements. It delineates development sites and conservation areas, and describes the intent of each of these areas. It documents boundaries that have regulatory implications, including the Willamette River ordinary high water line, top of bank, and /WR conservation area setback (100 feet). It establishes a 200-foot riparian enhancement setback from the top of bank for any potential buildings and recreational fields west of Riverfront Parkway, facilitating riparian restoration beyond the code requirement. It identifies proposed public facilities such as bike path options, trails, viewpoints, and paddle craft launch sites. Unless noted, all uses are permitted as in the S-RP zone and /WR Overlay. The Regulatory Plan concentrates most of the potential building development south of the railroad tracks and commits the area between the railroad tracks and Willamette River primarily to riparian restoration and open space opportunities. It strictly limits potential development north of the railroad tracks by imposing a 200-foot setback and restrictions on building coverage, building heights, field coverage, and vehicular access and parking well beyond the code allowances. The Regulatory Plan results in 31 acres of 77 acres being dedicated to riparian restoration in addition to other open space that would be provided within development sites. The university will restore the riparian river edge and Millrace conservation area as funds are available.

Compliant with /WR Overlay. Maximum Building Coverage: Compliant with /WR Overlay. Maximum Building Height: Compliant with /WR Overlay. Setbacks: Compliant with /WR Overlay. Vehicular Access and Parking: Conceptual Site Plan (Sheet L02) The Conceptual Site Plan depicts a scenario of potential maximum or likely development over the course of decades and duration of the Conditional Use Permit. Proposed development is required to conform to the code standards and restrictions in the Regulatory Plan. The Conceptual Site Plan illustrates potential buildings and recreation fields within the development sites. The arrangement and location of buildings and fields is not intended to be precise, but the general location relative to regulatory boundaries established in the code and Regulatory Plan. North of the tracks, the building and field footprints represent the maximum footprint that might occur. South of the tracks, the building footprints represent a likely development pattern based on typical university development that complies with the allowances in the code. Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Sheet L03) The Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan illustrates primary circulation routes, access points, and crossings that the university proposes to maintain or provide. It depicts the general location of these elements and the direction of travel for the primary routes. It does not depict all paths that would be part of the circulation system, as those would be determined during the design process of a development project. This plan includes two proposed alignment options for the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Path, one that shows the path closer to the riverÈs edge and one that shows it further. This is not for the purpose of constructing two bike paths, but rather to allow for flexibility in the placement of the bike path at the time of an actual project. The features of each alignment could be interchangeable. Below is a description: The northern alignment proposes a new bridge crossing over the mouth of the Millrace Slough, which is intended to enable future removal of the existing culvert and crossing and more comprehensive restoration of the slough. The alignment extends under the south abutment of the Frohnmayer bridge and extends eastward in order enable a future extension to Knickerbocker bridge on the north side of the railroad tracks. The alignment allows for bank Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 29 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION layback and riparian restoration, but not to the extent proposed in the southern alignment. The alignment responds to desires for public access along the river, enhanced safety by activating the riverÈs edge and improving sightlines, and improved ecological function. The southern alignment utilizes the existing culvert crossing within the Millrace Slough to transverse this feature. The alignment does not extend east, and connects to Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive, which is the current eastward travel pattern for pedestrians and bicyclists. Shifting the bike path further from the river allows for more area devoted to bank layback and riparian restoration, and lessens the steepness of the proposed transition from the ordinary high water line to top of bank line. The alignment responds to desires to expand the riparian area, improve ecological function, and minimize conflicts between recreation and habitat uses. Primary circulation routes extend east-west through the area between the railroad tracks and Franklin Boulevard and along Millrace Drive; east-west along the Millrace; north-south from Onyx Street; north-south along the gallery walk connection to the Frohnmayer Bridge; north-south along Riverfront Parkway; and, east-west along the river via the aforementioned bike path alignment options. Two railroad crossings exist, one at Riverfront Parkway and one at Gallery Walk. The university proposes potential new railroad crossings at Alder Street and west of Gallery Walk. These crossings are intended to be underpasses. Two bridge crossings currently exist over the Millrace, at Onyx Street and at Gallery Walk. The university proposes two additional bridge crossings over the Millrace, one west of Onyx Street and one east of Riverfront Drive. Lastly, the university proposes an overpass crossing over Franklin Boulevard west of Onyx Street to better connect the historic campus core to the North Campus area. Private Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Sheet L04) The Private Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan illustrates primary circulation for private vehicles, managed access, and primary access points that the university proposes to maintain or provide. Private vehicle circulation is synonymous with unrestricted access. Managed access is synonymous with access for loading/unloading and ADA needs associated with buildings and uses in those areas. It does not depict all routes that would be part of the circulation system, as those would be determined during the design process of a development project. Private vehicle primary circulation is limited to Riverfront Parkway, Millrace Drive, and a proposed access drive serving Area 4 extending from City-owned property to the west. Managed access would be allowed north of Riverfront Parkway, north of the Onyx intersection, and west of Riverfront Parkway on Millrace Drive. Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Sheet L05) The Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan illustrates primary routes, access points, and crossings for service and delivery vehicles, police vehicles, and emergency vehicles that the university proposes to maintain or provide. It depicts the general location of these elements and the direction of travel for the primary routes. It does not depict all routes that would be part of the circulation system, as those would be determined during the design process of a development project. Primary service circulation routes extend east-west along Millrace Drive and through Area 1; east-west through Area 5 and 6 along the northern edge of the railroad right-of-way; north-south along Onyx Street; and north-south along Riverfront Parkway. A proposed new crossing occurs at the west extent of Area 1, connecting that area across the Millrace to property to the west that Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 30 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION would allow access to Franklin Boulevard. An additional crossing over the Millrace is proposed west of Onyx Street in the same general location of the proposed pedestrian crossing.

Riparian forests existed along the 17 Willamette River, extending inland an average of 300 yards. The river was subject to frequent 18 change and flooding, resulting in large deposits of silt, sand, and gravel. The Millrace was a couple of disconnected sloughs until 1851 to 1852, when Hilyard Shaw and Avery Smith linked 19 them together to use as a power source for industry. From 1900 to 1945, Eugene experienced 20 exponential growth. During this time, much of the riparian forest was cleared for orchards of walnut and filbert and sand and gravel mining (due to the rise of the automobile and demand for 21 material to build roads). The university began purchasing land near the Millrace in the late 1930s, and over the next thirty years it would continue to purchase the lands that make up the North Campus area today. This land is comprised of four large parcels: the Millrace Parcel and Silva Parcel, located south of the railroad tracks; and the Western Parcel and North of the Railroad Tracks Parcel, located north of the railroad tracks. 22 The university acquired the Millrace Parcel in 1938 and the Silva Parcel in the 1950Ès. Prior to the 23 universityÈs ownership of the lands, they were agricultural, using the Millrace for irrigation.The Anchorage Restaurant and a bathing and canoeing resort were also located on the Millrace Parcel near Franklin Boulevard beginning in the 1910Ès and into the 1930Ès to support the growing 24 recreational use of the Millrace. The Silva Parcel contained orchards and also used the Millrace 25 for the transportation of products. In 1940 to 1941, the railroad was moved from Franklin 26 Boulevard to its current location, north of these parcels. The university built its power plant on the Millrace Parcel in the early 1950Ès, along with 27 warehouses, shops, and an administration building for campus operations. Uses related to university research followed as did uses related to the School of Architecture and Allied Arts (now College of Design), including fine arts studios and the Urban Farm. These uses continue today. From the early 1970Ès to about 1990, the Silva Parcel contained university research uses, including 28 an herbarium and a facility for animal research. A Coca-Cola bottling plant was built just west of 17 Henry W. Lawrence and Ann P. Bettman, , (Eugene: Henry The Green Guide: EugeneÈs Natural Landscape Lawrence and Ann P.

From the 1930Ès to 1968, Eugene Sand and Gravel Company occupied both parcels, using the land for sand and gravel mining. During that time period, the company operated sand and gravel 32 quarries on both sides of the river. The Western Parcel contained a gravel screening plant and concrete plant and two settlement ponds for settling fine sediments before discharge into the 33 Willamette River. The North of the Railroad Tracks parcel contained an asphalt plant. 29 L.R. Squier Associates, ÅEnvironmental Site Assessment, Silva Area,Æ 5, 7. NOTE: source used 1974 aerial photo. 30 L.R.

Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 35 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION From 1975 to 1990, the university leased the Western Parcel to EWEB for use as outdoor storage of power poles, water pipe, cable reels, transformers, and trailers. The property became known as 34 the Åpole yard property.Æ By 1987, all Eugene Sand and Gravel buildings had been demolished. In the early 1970Ès, the university removed the asphalt plant on the North of Railroad Tracks Parcel. Fill materials began to appear on the property with some vegetative regrowth, and the 35 footbridge across the river was also built by this time. In 1978, the university developed a plan to 36 use most of the land north of the tracks for recreational fields. Shortly after, the Riverfront Fields were constructed using student funds. By the mid-1980Ès, the land was covered with vegetation 37 and the university had built the bike path. In 1983, the university and City of Eugene identified the current North Campus area as a potential site for a possible private/public joint venture development, emphasizing research facilities, which may be complemented by University programs. This led to joint City-University planning efforts for a research park (called the Riverfront Research Park) that included: the CityÈs adoption ofthe Riverfront Park Study (1985); the CityÈs adoption of a special zoning district to guide development of the research park, the Riverfront Park Special Area (S-RP) Zone (1987); and the CityÈs approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the entire zone, establishing a 20-year timeline for the proposed development. The planning process for the Riverfront Research Park was contentious, and all of the previously described efforts were appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). 38 While LUBA ruled in favor of the City of Eugene in each case (in 1986, 1987, and 1989, respectively), implementation of the Riverfront Research Park continued to be met with resistance by community members. This includedan appeal to LUBA for a request to extend the Conditional Use Permit timeline for 3 years (to 2012), in which LUBA ruled in favor of the City, and an effort to stop the Oregon Research Institute building from being built north of the railroad tracks (on the Western Parcel). Under the now-expired Conditional Use Permit, the university built three buildings through public-private ventures that are part of the Riverfront Research Park today. These buildings are all located on the Silva Parcel. In 2013, the neighboring EWEB property (immediately to the west) was master planned and rezoned to the Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone(S-DR) to facilitate commercial and residential development and to enhance the connection between downtown and the Willamette River. In 2010, the City of Eugene rezoned much of the area immediately south of the North Campus area to the Walnut Station Special Area Zone (S-WS) for the purpose of facilitating compatible infill, higher density living opportunities, and mixed use development, implementing the vision of the Walnut Station Specific Area Plan. Today, the area south of the railroad tracks includes: the central power station and chiller plant; warehouses, storage areas and administrative buildings that are part of the operations of campus; university research facilities; fine arts studios; the Urban Farm; a public bike path along the Millrace; the developed portion of the Riverfront Research Park; and surface parking lots related to the uses and for general campus.

Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 36 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION path, two recreational fields, and the Frohnmayer Bridge. Pumping of the Millrace is currently maintained by the university. The site of the current Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact project is located along the north side of Franklin Boulevard between Onyx Street and Riverfront Parkway. It is not located in the S-RP zone (and not subject to the Conditional Use Permit requirement), but will serve as an important connection between the current main campus and the North Campus area. 6.3 Environment As part of the site analysis phase of the project, environmental consultants with Mason, Bruce & Girard (MB&G) conducted a riparian assessment of the project area to determine the extent of Goal 5 and Goal 15 conservation areas and to assess the functional quality of the riparian corridor. Riparian areas are typically defined as vegetated areas located adjacent to water that form an interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments. These areas protect water quality, remove contaminants, recharge groundwater, provide habitat for wildlife species, and provide flood storage and channel stability. The City of Eugene code (EC) states that the applicable Water Resources Conservation overlay zone, Ånot only conserves the physical resources but also protects the water quality within the resource areas as a fundamental and essential requirement for continued survival of these biological systemsÆ (EC 9.4900). The overlay zone establishes conservation setbacks that guide the planning, implementation, and management standards for multi-use development. These setbacks are established landward from a waterbodyÈs top-of- high-bank (TOHB) or a waterbodyÈs ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Riparian areas within the City are defined in the EC by a 100-foot setback from the TOHB and a 120-foot setback from the OHWM. Existing conditions within the project area have been altered in comparison to historical conditions due to various prior development, vegetation management, and soil compaction. Most notably, the project area contains a large amount of fill, which has altered physical and biological function of the riparian habitat. The use of riprap, introduction of invasive species, and impact of foot traffic has also degraded the bank of the Willamette River. However, the project area still functions as habitat for several terrestrial and aquatic species. The project area also includes approximately 33 acres of disturbed habitat in the form of maintained grassy fields. These fields are partially within the 100-year floodplain. The project area is divided into aquatic habitat, riparian habitat, and upland habitat for analysis, and further split into the Millrace Slough, and the Willamette River. The project area was analyzed for baseline functional conditions, which include temperature and shade, channel stability, flood storage, groundwater recharge, sediment and contaminant removal, and fish and wildlife habitat. Overall, the assessment documented riparian functions at 57 points throughout the Study area. The project area provides many of the necessary functions necessary for healthy aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, these ecosystems are also influenced by other factors that occur outside of the Study area. More explicitly, the streambank of the Willamette River is conducive to supporting native aquatic species, and the riparian vegetation along the Willamette River and Millrace Slough streambanks reduces erosion, supports groundwater recharge, and provides shade and habitat for wildlife species. The project area has a history of disturbances associated with multiple land uses that have degraded the native vegetation composition throughout the site. In addition, it is expected that areas with compacted soils may have reduced riparian/floodplain functions. Lastly, there are Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 37 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION areas of the site that are in need of large-scale invasive plant removal. Restoration actions should focus on immediate benefit to riparian function, such as the removal of concrete riprap along the shoreline of the Willamette River. Pristine areas along the riparian corridor should be protected and enhanced to maintain a well-functioning ecosystem. The complete Riparian Assessment and Management Report is included as Exhibit B. 6.4 Infrastructure The site analysis phase of the project included an evaluation of utility infrastructure within and surrounding the project area for the purposes of supporting proposed development, as prepared by consultants with BHE Group. The evaluation focused on stormwater, sanitary sewer, and water systems, with additional analysis of existing steam, power, communications, and natural gas utilities within the study area. Soils and Groundwater Relatively thick deposits of fill are present in the project area, between Riverfront Parkway (on the east) and the Millrace (on the west). Fill deposits range from 5È-15È deep, and are predominantly 9È deep. Fill material in this area consists of silt with some sand and gravel, and may have significantly lower infiltration rates than the native sand and gravel soils. Geotechnical investigation and infiltration testing is recommended for future development. Seasonal high groundwater depth ranges from 10È-15È within the project area. Oregon Water Resources Department well log data indicates a similar depth to groundwater within the project area. Stormwater Stormwater runoff from the project area predominantly drains via sheet flow, and enters the Willamette River. The land slope within the project area is generally flat, with localized depressions throughout. A significant amount of stormwater is expected to infiltrate into the underlying soil. In areas where infiltration rates are low, runoff likely ponds at the ground surface before migrating overland to the river. Per Sheet C01 Storm Drain Plan (Exhibit A), existing public storm drain mains are located along Riverfront Parkway flowing north and south, Millrace Drive flowing west, and Franklin Boulevard flowing west. Two additional public lines exist to the north of the tracks, one of which has an existing destination point in the Willamette River. Potential future destinations points or extensions connect to the two lines to the north of the tracks, and both flow east. An additional potential future destination points or extensions may occur along the Millrace leading to the outfall. Existing private storm drain mains are located south of the tracks, predominantly to the west of Riverfront Parkway. Sanitary sewer Existing gravity-fed public sanitary sewer infrastructure is readily available to areas north of the railroad tracks and east of the Millrace, however gravity-fed sanitary sewer is not readily available for the building sites west of the Millrace. Per Sheet C02 Sanitary Sewer Plan (Exhibit A), existing public sanitary sewer mains are located along Riverfront Parkway flowing south, Millrace Drive flowing west, and Franklin Boulevard flowing west. One additional public line exists to the north of the tracks, which flows south. Potential future destinations points or extensions connect to public lines to the west of Riverfront Parkway. Existing private sanitary sewer mains are located south of the tracks, predominantly to the west of Riverfront Parkway and flow south. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 38 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Water Public water mains are available within close proximity to the west and east ends of the project area. Per Sheet C03 Water Supply Plan (Exhibit A), existing public water mains and associated fire hydrants are located along Riverfront Parkway to the west, along Millrace Drive down to Garden Avenue and Moss Street, along Alder Street, and along Franklin Boulevard. One additional public line exists to the north of the tracks, which curves west. Potential future destination points or extensions connect to the public line north of the tracks. Existing private water mains and associated fire hydrants are located south of the tracks, to the west of Riverfront Parkway. Other Utilities Natural gas service does not currently extend to the project area. Two major existing underground public (EWEB) power lines extend through the Study area. A 12kV feeder extends from the EWEB old steam plant site to the south side of Frohnmayer Bridge, and then splits, and extends north across the bridge, and south across the railroad tracks. A 115 kV transmission line extends from the old EWEB steam plant, along the north edge of the railroad tracks point just north of the Central Power Station, where it turns south and crosses under the railroad tracks. Large vaults (9Èx13È) with access manholes are located intermittently along the underground power runs. Relocation of the underground EWEB power lines is not anticipated and vaults are expected to remain in place. A major EWEB fiber optic line runs parallel to the 115 kV transmission line north of the railroad tracks. The status and use of other communications lines north of the railroad tracks are unknown. An EWEB steam corridor extends through the site. The steam system is no longer active, but some of the pipes within the corridor are being utilized as conduits for other purposes. EWEB intends to maintain the easement for the steam corridor. 6.4 Transportation The North Campus Area is located north of Franklin Boulevard, classified as a major arterial and state highway. Vehicles access the property primarily from Onyx Street (a university-owned local street), Riverfront Parkway (a local street), and Millrace Drive (a local street), where university surface parking lots are located in proximity to these access points. Riverfront Parkway currently continues north of the tracks, where it ends in a stub; north of the tracks, vehicle access is limited to service and emergency vehicles. North of the tracks, the Ruth Bascom Bicycle Path goes east-west along the property until Riverfront Parkway. It provides access west by connecting to the former EWEB property, north via the Frohnmayer Bridge, and south via Gallery Walk (a university path) and Riverfront Parkway. An east-west public bicycle path exists along the Millrace, where it provides a connection east to the CityÈs bicycle route along Garden Avenue (and ultimately the Knickerbocker Bridge). Pedestrian circulation is accommodated on the bicycle (multi-use) paths and pathways within the universityÈs property. Pedestrian crossings on Franklin Boulevard are located at Onyx Street and Riverfront Parkway/Agate Street. The EmX bus rapid transit station is located at Agate Street and Franklin Boulevard. The site is also served by bus lines 91, 98, and the Diamond Express. This land use application is supported by a Transportation Assessment report, which is included as Exhibit D.

Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 52 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION 8.0 APPROVAL CRITERIA & STANDARDS Under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 352, the university has broad authority with respect to the property it owns and controls. As noted previously, this application is a request for City of Eugene Conditional Use and Willamette Greenway permit approval in accordance with the review procedures and approval criteria at EC 9.3725 and EC 9.8815. The approval criteria are provided in text with findings describingcompliance with each stated criteria in plain text. The findings bold demonstrate that the proposal conforms to all applicable criteria and standards. 8.1 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Approval Criteria (EC 9.3725) EC 9.3725 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Review Procedures. The master site plan for developments proposed within the S-RP zone shall be reviewed through the conditional use permit process provided in this land use code. For the purpose of this review, the following criteria shall be applied in lieu of the criteria provided in EC 9.8090 Conditional Use Permit Approval Criteria - General: (1) Criteria for all Development. (a) The proposed development shall be consistent with the Metropolitan Area General Plan, Riverfront Park Study, and other applicable policy documents or functional plans. Metropolitan Area General Plan The Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) was amended in 1985 through adoption of Ordinance No. 19348 which established the land use classification of as ÅUniversity/ResearchÆ follows: ÅThis category represents property which is located in proximity to the University of Oregon campus. It is primarily intended to accommodate light industrial, research and development, and office uses related to activities, research and programs of the University of Oregon. The designation also allows for mixed use development, including a limited range of retail and service uses and multiple-family dwellings. Commercial activities in this category are intended to serve the day-to-day needs of employees working in and near University/Research areas. Activities, such as general retail and office, will continue to be located in other appropriately designated areas.Æ Ordinance No. 19348 applied the classification to the subject property ÅUniversity/ResearchÆ included in this application. Following adoption of the Metro Plan amendment, the City of Eugene adopted Ordinance No. 19470 in 1987, which established the Riverfront Park Special Area Zone (S-RP), to guide development of the subject property. The primary uses permitted within the zone are programs and activities carried out by institutions of the Oregon State System of Higher Education and facilities for basic or applied research and development that complement the research and educational activities of the Oregon State System of Higher Education. The Oregon State System of Higher Education, also known as the Oregon University System (OUS), was disbanded in 2015 by Senate Bill 80. In July of 2013, the State Legislature passed Senate Bill 270, which allowed the University of Oregon to establish an independent governing board separate and distinct from the State Board of Higher Education. As provided for in Section 171 of Senate Bill Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 53 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION 270, all references to the Oregon State System of Higher Education shall be considered references to the University of Oregon. The application does not involve a Metro Plan amendment. The following findings address the consistency of the application with applicable policies of the Metro Plan to demonstrate that adoption of the Conditional Use Permit will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The findings only address policies that apply to the proposal, and do not discuss those portions of the Metro Planthat (1) apply to land uses other than the current designations for the subject property, or (2) clearly apply only to specific development applications (e.g., site plan review submittals or subdivisions). All Metro Plan policies were evaluated in consideration of their applicability to the Conditional Use Permit and the following policies were found to be applicable to the proposal. The findings demonstrate how the application is consistent with, and are in fact supported by the policy directions contained in the Metro Plan. Environmental Resources Element Riparian Corridors, Wetlands, and Wildlife Habitat (Goal 5) C.12. Property owners may pursue efforts to protect natural vegetation and wildlife habitat areas on their land to conserve these areas, e.g., through conservation easements, public acquisition, donation, land trusts, etc.; and local governments are encouraged to assist in these efforts. The property owner, University of Oregon, is a public institution. Therefore, conservation easements, public acquisition, donation, land trusts, etc. as specific tools are not necessary to protect natural vegetation and wildlife habitat. The Riparian Assessment and Management Report prepared by Mason, Bruce & Girard (Exhibit B) outlines key species of interest and mechanisms for conserving crucial habitat by incorporating ecological, riparian restoration, and conservation techniques along the riverbank. Other than the listed seven sensitive aquatic species and nine rare species in the report, there are no other documented occurrences of sensitive or rare wildlife species within the subject site. Per the report findings, the site contains the appropriate aquatic, upland, and riparian habitat to support all eight of the rare species listed. However, significant on- site habitat for riverbank species is limited to the riparian corridor and is shown on Sheets L02 and S01 Site Plan and Existing Conditions (Exhibit A). Additional measures that can improve the habitat and subsequent proliferation of historically-present species, as well as generally improve the river corridor include large-scale invasive plant removal, and removal of concrete riprap along the shoreline. The report found that vegetated riparian areas reduce the speed and intensity of floodwaters by providing resistance to flows, which in turn reduces downstream flooding and fosters riverbank habitat. However, areas that perform these functions within the development site were found to be historically reduced to narrow strips along the river, reducing flood storage function and habitat. In order to improve these functions, the Applicant seeks to incorporate as many applicable restoration techniques as possible as funding becomes available. In addition, all parcels within the subject site that abut the Willamette River have /WR Water Resource Conservation overlay zoning. Pursuant to EC 9.4920(1)(c)(1.), Category A streams with a distinguishable high bank have a 100 foot setback applied to top of bank (TOB) as part of the /WR overlay zoning. The proposal does not change protections established by the 100-foot /WR Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 54 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION conservation setback in EC 9.4920(1)(c)(1.) or affect inventoried Goal 5 Resources such as water or natural vegetation. According to the provisions at EC 9.3715(2)(a), the Applicant could propose development, including structures, parking areas, streets, and access drives, beginning at 35 feet from the top of bank of the river. However, as illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal includes a required 100-foot conservation setback extending from the Willamette River and Millrace top of bank lines. Further, the Applicant proposes a conservation setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan. It is important to note that since this 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank, the setback equates to 250-300 feet as measured from the waterÈs edge. Based on the above findings, this standard is satisfied. C.13. Wetland, riparian corridor, or wildlife habitat sites inside the UGB identified after adoption of the applicable Goal 5 inventory of significant sites, that have not been previously considered for inclusion in the inventory, shall be addressed in the following manner: a. The jurisdiction within which the natural resource is located shall study the site according to the requirements in the Goal 5 administrative rule. b. Upon the completion of the study, the affected jurisdiction shall determine whether the identified natural resource is significant according to the adopted significance criteria of the affected jurisdiction. c. If the newly identified site is determined significant, the affected jurisdiction shall complete the Goal 5 requirements for the site, which includes adoption of protection measures for sites identified for protection. d. The affected jurisdiction will notify affected property owners and interested parties throughout the process. In prepared by Mason, Bruce & Girard (Exhibit The Riparian Assessment and Management Report B), MB&G identified several wetlands and oak savannah not included in the inventory that are candidates for inclusion. C.16. The map titled Goal 5 Significant Wildlife Habitat for the area inside the Metro Plan Boundary and outside the UGB, dated January 2004, adopted and incorporated here, shall be used to identify significant wildlife habitat for purposes of notifying the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife concerning applications for development permits or other land use decisions affecting significant wildlife habitat on the Goal 5 inventory for areas outside the UGB and inside the Plan Boundary. The map is on file at the Lane County Land Management Division. The map titled Goal 5 Significant Wildlife Habitat was consulted to identify significant wildlife habitat. The city has the ability to notify Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife concerning applications for development permits or other land use decisions affecting significant wildlife Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 55 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION habitat on the Goal 5 inventory. However, the subject site is inside the UGB and not between the UGB and Metro Plan boundary. Therefore, this standard does not apply. C.17. The map titled Goal 5 Significant Riparian Corridors for the area inside the Metro Plan Boundary and outside the UGB, dated January 2004, adopted and incorporated here, shall be used to identify significant riparian corridors for purposes of applying Goal 5 riparian protection provisions in Lane Code Chapter 16 for areas outside the UGB and inside the Plan Boundary. The map is on file at the Lane County Land Management Division. The map titled was consulted to identify Goal 5 Significant Riparian Corridors significant riparian . However, the subject site is inside the UGB and not between the UGB and Metro Plan corridors boundary. Therefore, this standard does not apply. Open Space (Goal 5) C.21. When planning for and regulating development, local governments shall consider the need for protection of open spaces, including those characterized by significant vegetation and wildlife. Means of protecting open space include but are not limited to outright acquisition, conservation easements, planned unit development ordinances, streamside protection ordinances, open space tax deferrals, donations to the public, and performance zoning. The Willamette River and its associated bank are key habitat for vegetation and wildlife, and must be preserved accordingly. To align with these values, the proposal seeks to incorporate as much conservation area and open space as practicable, and support existing wildlife and vegetation habitat along the river through targeted development and restoration and enhancement recommendations. The subject site is 77 acres, and includes 5,125 lineal feet of frontage along the Willamette River. Of these 77 acres, 31 acres, or 40% of the site acreage, is proposed for conservation and riparian restoration. Of the 42 acres between the railroad tracks and river, 25 acres, or 60% of the site acreage, is proposed for conservation and riparian restoration. More explicitly, this includes the required conservation area setback along the Willamette River within the site of 100 feet from top of bank. In addition, the Applicant proposes a conservation setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A). This 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank; when measure from the waterÈs edge, this setback equates to 250-300 feet. This would increase the size of the total area dedicated to conservation to approximately 31 acres, which the university would restore as funds are available and for which it would implement best maintenance practices for managing riparian areas, consistent with the universityÈs existing Integrated Pest Management Plan. The Applicant has established a Regulatory Plan, Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan Exhibit A, that applies more self-imposed, stringent development regulations than is required by code in order to facilitate restoration, open space improvements, and for viewsheds to be protected. For example, the Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage. North of the tracks, the Applicant is proposing maximum building coverages well below what is allowed by the code. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 56 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION The applicable S-RP zone states thatat least 40% of the portion of the development site shall be landscaped with living plant materials, requiring the building coverage and site elements to be contained within 60% of the development site (implying an allowed building coverage of 40% to 50%). To the west of the Millrace (Area 4), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 15%; to the east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 16%. Between the Millrace and the Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 0.5%, and maximum field coverage of 47%. The maximum building coverage south of the tracks is proposed to comply with existing S-RP coverage standards. Through complying with maximum building coverage significantly under that allowed by code, the Applicant demonstrates a clear commitment to preserving open space to the greatest extent practicable. In addition, the Applicant has established maximum building heights north of the tracks that are well below the code allowance. The applicable S-RP zone states that there is no height limitation for a structure outside 75 feet of the top of the south bank of the Willamette River. As the Applicant proposes that all development occur outside the 100-foot setback (and most buildings occur outside a 200-foot setback), theoretically no building height maximums are applicable by code. The applicant proposes a 45-foot maximum building height to the west of the Millrace (Area 4), and 37 feet east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6). In the land between the Millrace and Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the applicant is proposing a 15-foot height limit to allow for the potential construction of recreation and outdoor classroom support facilities. For areas south of the tracks, the Applicant has established a maximum building height of 85 feet, which would allow for a range of building heights similar to campus buildings across Franklin Boulevard. These regulations are a commitment to preserving the ecological integrity of the site. By imposing stringent limitations on building coverage and building height north of the tracks, the Applicant demonstrates a commitment to protecting open space and shifting more concentrated development south of the tracks, which was favored and confirmed through internal and external outreach. Outside of development regulations imposed by the Applicant, it is important to note that the siteÈs preservationis also supplemented by additional state regulations. The Willamette River adjacent to the development site is identified as a Goal 5 Water Resource. The Willamette River is a Category A resource, meaning it is designated for protection with a 100-foot conservation setback. In addition, the development site contains a Category A Wetland, labeled site WR-4 on the Goal 5 Inventory. This Riverfront Park/Millrace wetland requires a conservation setback of 50 feet. Both of these setbacks have been incorporated in the Master Site Plan by the Applicant on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A). In addition, protection of significant riparian vegetation is ensured through existing established /WR protection provisions in EC 9.4900-9.4980, which are not affected by the proposal. As shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the regulations dedicate significant acreage to conservation and riparian restoration, imposes stringent limitations on development north of the tracks to maximize riparian restoration and open space opportunities, which will result in a significant increase in the amount of accessible landscape and recreational open space areas within the subject site. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policy C.21. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 57 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Natural Hazards (Goal 7) C.31. When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to life and property. Within the UGB, development should result in in-filling of partially developed land. Outside the UGB, areas affected by the floodway and floodway fringe shall be protected for their agricultural and sand and gravel resource values, their open space and recreational potential, and their value to water resources. The subject property is located within the UGB. Portions of the subject property adjacent to the Willamette River are located within the FEMA regulated floodway and floodplain, as shown in Sheet S01 Existing Conditions (Exhibit A). The proposal does not advance development in ways that are inconsistent with current standards nor does it modify or exempt existing regulatory protection measures. By choosing to provide a riparian enhancement setback of 200 feet from the top of bank for buildings and fields where practicable, the proposal appropriately considers the impacts of potential flooding. In addition, by incorporating ecological and riparian restoration techniques along the riverbank, flooding impacts can be mitigated. More explicitly, the Riparian Assessment and Management prepared by Mason, Bruce & Girard found that vegetated riparian areas reduce the speed Report and intensity of floodwaters by providing resistance to flows, which in turn reduces downstream flooding and leads to effective flood storage. However, areas that perform these functions within the development site were found to be historically reduced to narrow strips along the river, reducing flood storage function. In order to improve these functions, the Applicant seeks to incorporate as many applicable restoration techniques as possible as funding becomes available. Two techniques proposed in the report include large-scale invasive plant removal, and removal of concrete riprap along the shoreline. Both of these techniques can aid flood storage capacity. The proposal also supports the need to infill partially developed land by providing the additional services needed by the University in a more cohesive and organized way on a site that is connected to public utilities. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policy C.31. Willamette River Greenway, River Corridors, and Waterways Element D.2. Land use regulations and acquisition programs along river corridors and waterways shall take into account all the concerns and needs of the community, including recreation, resource, and wildlife protection; enhancement of river corridor and waterway environments; potential for supporting non-automobile transportation; opportunities for residential development; and other compatible uses. Accounting for the needs and concerns of the community are at the foundation of the proposal and land use process. The ApplicantÈs proposal addresses recreation, resource, and wildlife protection; enhancement of river corridor and waterway environments; emphasis on supporting non-automobile transportation; opportunities for residential development; and other compatible uses. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 58 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Facilitating recreation, resource, and wildlife protection is at the forefront of this proposal. In addition to findings presented in C.21 and D.2, incorporated by reference herein, the Applicant takes considerable care to expand recreational opportunities for the general public, and increase support for wildlife habitat. More explicitly, the proposal includes two options for realigning the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path, which runs east-west through the subject site. In order to enable realignment of the path, the proposal provides options for locating the path along the river, spanning the Millrace Slough, extending under Frohnmayer Bridge, and enabling a future east extension; or, along the northern extents of the proposed development sites, utilizing the existing crossing over the Millrace Slough, and connecting to Riverfront Parkway, Millrace Drive, and Garden Avenue. Either option provides for improved public access to the riverfront, and enhanced outdoor recreation opportunities. Also, the proposal will increase the amount of recreation capacity within downtown and the riverfront area by providing recreational fields, and expanded access to the river for passive recreation, fishing, swimming, and launching personal paddle crafts. While the current proposal does not include specific plans for residential development, this does not preclude residential development for student housing from being included on the site at a future time. In order to support wildlife, the proposal draws from the findings of the Riparian Assessment and (Exhibit B), which found several key sensitive aquatic species, and rare Management Report species historically documented within one mile of the site: Sensitive Aquatic Species Chinook salmon () Ã federally threatened (Federal ESA) Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Chinook salmon () Ã federally threatened (Federal ESA) Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Steelhead () Oncorhynchus mykiss Steelhead () Oncorhynchus mykiss White sturgeon () Acipenser transmontanus Western brook lamprey () Lampetra richardsoni Pacific lamprey () Ã species of concern (Federal ESA) Lampetra tridentate Rare Species (ORBIC) Western pond turtle () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Actinemys marmorata Retrorse sedge () Carex retrorsa Painted turtle () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Chrysemys picta Townsend's big-eared bat () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Corynorhinus townsendii Bald eagle () Ã sensitive vulnerable (State ESA) Haliaeetus leucocephalus Bradshaw's lomatium () Ãendangered (State ESA) Lomatium bradshawii Oregon chub () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Oregonichthys crameri Bull trout (Coastal population) () Ã sensitive critical/vulnerable (State ESA) Salvelinus confluentus There are no other documented occurrences of sensitive or rare wildlife species within the subject site. Per the report findings, the site contains the appropriate aquatic, upland, and riparian habitat to support all eight of the rare species listed above. However, significant on-site habitat for riverbank species is limited to the riparian corridor and is shown on Sheets L02 and S01 Site Plan and Existing Conditions (Exhibit A). Additional measures that can improve the habitat and subsequent proliferation of historically-present species, as well as generally improve the river Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 59 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION corridor include the aforementioned restoration techniques as described in the findings for Policy C.31. In order to support non-automobile transportation, the ApplicantÈs proposal provides for the aforementioned realignment of the bike path, as well as several potential crossings of the railroad tracks, the Millrace, and Franklin Boulevard, to improve circulation on the site, as shown onSheet L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). These crossings serve to provide better access from Franklin Boulevard into the site, or across the railroad tracks. While the exact locations of these crossings are to be determined based on future development, adding crossings will foster a safer and more accessible pedestrian and cyclist environment. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policy D.2. D.3. Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County shall continue to cooperate in expanding water-related parks and other facilities, where appropriate, that allow access to and enjoyment of river and waterway corridors. This policy is aimed at intergovernmental cooperation between Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County to expand parks, other facilities, and public access opportunities. The university has a long history of collaboration with local entities, and anticipates the continuation of these partnerships as applicable to this proposal. As such, the proposal is consistent with Policy D.3. D.5. New development that locates along river corridors and waterways shall be limited to uses that are compatible with the natural, scenic, and environmental qualities of those water features. The proposal envisions a restored river edge that celebrates the universityÈs connection to the river. The proposal dedicates a minimum of 23 acres to conservation and an additional 7 acres to allow for expanded riparian restoration. The proposal increases educational and recreational access to the river, increases active recreation opportunities, and extends the development of campus across Franklin Boulevard while concentrating the development south of the railroad tracks. Primary resources utilized to inform the proposal include EugeneÈs Goal 5 Inventory and Water Resources Conversation Plan and the prepared by Riparian Assessment and Management Report Mason, Bruce & Girard. As noted previously, the Applicant proposes a regulation structure for proposed development that exceeds the requirements of city code in order to preserve the environmental quality of the site. The proposal operates under the development criteria permitted in the S-RP Zone as a determinant for allowable uses on the subject site. Notably, the S-RP Zone includes height standards that restrict the maximum height of buildings as development approaches the Willamette River, thus limiting the scale of buildings near the resource. The maximum height of buildings in the S-RP zone is 45 feet when located within 75 feet of the top of the south bank of the Willamette River. Otherwise, no height limit applies. By proposing a setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan, the Applicant is naturally retaining scenic viewsheds. Finally, per EC 9.3710 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Permitted Uses, the development site allows programs and activities carried out by institutions of the Oregon State System of Higher Education outright as a primary use. Given this finding, the Applicant is acting in accordance with city code, while seeking to incorporate environmental considerations to the greatest extent practicable. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 60 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION By enabling realignment of the bike path, undertaking riparian restoration as feasible, and providing more safe and clear means of access to the river, the proposal ultimately seeks to improve the natural and scenic qualities of the river, and respect the environmental quality of the site. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policy D.5. D.6. New industrial development that locates along the Willamette and McKenzie Rivers shall enhance natural, scenic, and environmental qualities. The proposal does not include new industrial development, and such development is not anticipated. Therefore, Policy D.6. is addressed to the greatest extent practicable. D.8. Within the framework of mandatory statewide planning goals, local Willamette River Greenway plans shall allow a variety of means for public enjoyment of the river, including public acquisition areas, residential areas, and commercial areas. D.9. Local and state governments shall continue to provide adequate public access to the Willamette River Greenway. Through extensive public involvement feedback, the proposal seeks to enhance the publicÈs physical access to the river by addressing several key goals: improving the ecological quality of the site, increasing public safety, improving ease of access to the river through provision of public facilities (bike path, a personal paddle craft launch, swimming docks, soft trails, viewpoints, etc.), and expand scenic views. The Willamette Greenway Criteria (EC 9.8815) findings, presented in Section 5.2, detail all of the ways in which this proposal provides for public enjoyment of the river. The proposal provides a variety of site components, such as a realigned multi-modal path along the river, designated pathways with benches to improve pedestrian access to the river bank, and river access for boats, swimmers, and fishing. The subject site is also entirely within the city limits. The Applicant owns all parcels within the subject site. Existing public access along the Willamette River is provided by the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path, a paved multi-use path that extends through the subject site. As noted, the proposal includes two options for realigning the bike path, which runs east-west through the subject site. The proposal provides options for locating the path along the river, spanning the Millrace Slough, extending under Frohnmayer Bridge, and enabling a future east extension; or, along the northern extents of the proposed development sites, utilizing the existing crossing over the Millrace Slough, and connecting to Riverfront Parkway, Millrace Drive, and Garden Avenue. Either option provides for improved public access to the riverfront, and enhanced outdoor recreation opportunities. As illustrated on Sheets L01 and L03 Regulatory Plan and Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal connects the bike path throughout the site, while providing for a consistent multi-use path that provides ample landscape and open space between the path and the river. Per EC 9.3710 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Permitted Uses, this development site is designated for Åprograms and activities carried out by institutions of the Oregon State System of Higher Education.Æ As such, the universityÈs status as a public institution ensures the continued provision of public access along the Willamette River. Overall, the proposal ensures the continued provision of adequate public access along the river. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policies D.8 and D.9. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 61 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Environmental Design Element E.2. Natural vegetation, natural water features, and drainage-ways shall be protected and retained to the maximum extent practical. Landscaping shall be utilized to enhance those natural features. This policy does not preclude increasing their conveyance capacity in an environmentally responsible manner. E.4. Public and private facilities shall be designed and located in a manner that preserves and enhances desirable features of local and neighborhood areas and promotes their sense of identity. E.5. Carefully develop sites that provide visual diversity to the urban area and optimize their visual and personal accessibility to residents. As noted, the university is applying the required conservation area setbacks for both the Willamette River, and the Millrace, and additional setback for the Willamette River and Millrace Outfall, and will implement riparian restoration strategies as funding becomes available. The proposal incorporated the feedback and input of many community members, who attended several meetings regarding the project (see K.3). Throughout the public involvement process, the proposal evolved in response to input, as demonstrated by the Community Open House Materials included as Exhibit J. As such, many community members reported that the proposal enhanced desirable features of their community, by increasing public safety and improving access to the riverfront. The proposal is designed to facilitate recreational, pedestrian-friendly redevelopment. As illustrated on Sheets L02 and L05 Site Plan and Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal will result in open recreational space, enhanced riparian areas adjacent to the Willamette River, and expanded outdoor educational uses. The proposal does not change or affect existing /WR overlay zone protections established in EC 9.49(1)(c)(1.) and other applicable protection measures and development standards. In addition, development standards in the S-RP Zone are site-specific and designed to be compatible with the surrounding areas. The S-RP Zone includes development standards that regulate building height and form as well as circulation patterns and view corridors, which are designed to ensure compatibility with adjacent properties and protection of the Willamette River Greenway. The proposal complies with S-RP Zone development standards and enforces even more stringent requirements. It is important to note that the University of Oregon has its own regulatory structure regarding development and project design on campus. This structure includes abiding by the policies and standards in the , and an extensive Campus Planning Committee design review Campus Plan process. The incorporates more stringent and refined requirements for urban design Campus Plan elements than the Eugene Code, which have been translated into clear and objective development standards. The design elements within the are intended to facilitate the Campus Plan redevelopment vision of this proposal. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policies E.2 through E.5. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 62 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Transportation Element Land Use F.3. Provide for transit-supportive land use patterns and development, including higher intensity, transit-oriented development along major transit corridors and near transit stations; medium- and high-density residential development within mile of transit stations, major transit corridors, employment centers, and downtown areas; and development and redevelopment in designated areas that are or could be well served by existing or planned transit. F.4. Require improvements that encourage transit, bicycles, and pedestrians in new commercial, public, mixed use, and multi-unit residential development. The subject site is located in proximity to the downtown core and major transit corridors along Franklin Boulevard. The proposal involves improved connection to the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path and development standards proposed through the S-RP Zone that encourage transit, bicycle, and pedestrian use within the development. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with Policies F.3 and F.4. Transportation System Improvements: Bicycle F.22. Construct and improve the regionÈs bikeway system and provide bicycle system support facilities for both new development and redevelopment/expansion. F.24. Require bikeways to connect new development with nearby neighborhood activity centers and major destinations. As noted, existing public access along the Willamette River is provided by the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path, a paved multi-use path that spans the extent of the subject site. More explicitly, the proposal includes two options for realigning the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path, which runs east-west through the subject site. The proposal provides options for locating the path along the river, spanning the Millrace Slough, extending under Frohnmayer Bridge, and enabling a future east extension; or, along the northern extents of the proposed development sites, utilizing the existing crossing over the Millrace Slough, and connecting to Riverfront Parkway, Millrace Drive, and Garden Avenue. Either option provides for improved public access to the riverfront, and enhanced outdoor recreation opportunities, as illustrated on Sheets L02 and L05 Site Plan and Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit G Plan Set). Provisions of the S-RP Zone ensure high-quality public amenities along the riverfront including bike parking, ample setbacks to preserve the riverbank and natural areas, adequate lighting, and controlled building mass and scale to preserve viewsheds. The proposal also provides several potential crossings to improve circulation to and within the site, as shown on Sheet L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). These crossings serve to provide better access from Franklin Boulevard into the site, and across the railroad tracks to the northern portion of the site. While the exact locations of these crossings are to be determined, additional crossings will Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 63 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION foster a safer and more accessible pedestrian and cyclist environment. All of these features establish an interconnected system within the development site and provide direct routes between destination points and Franklin Boulevard. By maintaining and enabling connection to the path and increasing site connectivity, Policies F.22 and F.24 are addressed. Transportation System Improvements: Pedestrian F.26. Provide for a pedestrian environment that is well integrated with adjacent land uses and is designed to enhance the safety, comfort, and convenience of walking. F.27. Provide for a continuous pedestrian network with reasonably direct travel routes between destination points. The proposal is designed to foster a vibrant and active pedestrian environment that is integrated with on-site and adjacent uses. Provisions of the S-RP Zone ensure high-quality public amenities along the riverfront including bike parking, ample setbacks to preserve the riverbank and natural areas, adequate lighting, and controlled building mass and scale to preserve viewsheds. The proposal provides for a continuous pedestrian network via realignment of the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path, as illustrated on Sheets L02 and L05 Site Plan and Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A), as well as several possible crossings to improve circulation on the site, as shown on Sheet L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). These crossings serve to provide better access from Franklin Boulevard into the site, or across the railroad tracks. While the exact locations of these crossings are to be determined, additional crossings will foster a safer and more accessible pedestrian and cyclist environment. All of these features establish an interconnected system within the development site and provide direct routes between destination points and Franklin Boulevard. The proposal does not involve arterial or collector roadways. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policies F.26 and F.27. Public Facilities and Services Element Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Planning and Coordination G.5. The cities shall continue joint planning coordination with major institutions, such as universities and hospitals, due to their relatively large impact on local facilities and services. The proposal, in part, is a result of joint planning coordination between the City of Eugene and the University of Oregon through participation and involvement in the planning process. Based on these findings, the proposal is compliant with Policy G.5. Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Storm water G.16. Manage or enhance waterways and open storm water systems to reduce water quality impacts from runoff and to improve storm water conveyance. G.19. Maintain flood storage capacity within the floodplain, to the maximum Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 64 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION extent practical, through measures that may include reducing impervious surface in the floodplain and adjacent areas. By incorporating ecological and riparian restoration techniques along the Willamette River, flooding impacts can be mitigated. More explicitly, the Riparian Assessment and Management Report prepared by Mason, Bruce & Girard found that vegetated riparian areas reduce the speed and intensity of floodwaters by providing resistance to flows, which in turn reduces downstream flooding and leads to effective flood storage. However, areas that perform these functions within the development site were found to be historically reduced to narrow strips along the river, reducing flood storage function. In order to improve these functions, the Applicant seeks to incorporate as many applicable restoration techniques as possible as funding becomes available. Two techniques proposed in the report include large-scale invasive plant removal, and removal of concrete riprap along the shoreline. The Applicant has established self-imposed regulations regarding setbacks and maximum building coverage which reduce the acreage of impervious surface on the site. For example, the required conservation area setback within the site is 100 feet along the Willamette River and 40 feet along the Millrace. However, along the Willamette River and the Millrace Outfall, the Applicant proposes a riparian enhancement setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A). This setback requirement keeps impervious development well out of range of valuable riparian area, and fosters flood storage capacity within the floodplain. Along the Millrace, the Applicant proposes to maintain and enhance the conservation area and to restrict development to uses permitted in a conservation area. The Applicant has established a Regulatory Plan, Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan Exhibit A, that applies more self-imposed, stringent development regulations than is required by code in order to facilitate land in conservation, to manage and enhance waterways, and for viewsheds to be protected. For example, the Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage. North of the tracks, the Applicant is proposing maximum building coverages well below what is allowed by the code. The applicable S-RP zone states that at least 40% of the portion of the development site shall be shall be landscaped with living plant materials, requiring the building coverage and site elements to be contained within 60% of the development site (implying an allowed building coverage of 40% to 50%). To the west of the Millrace (Area 4), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 15%; to the east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 16%. Between the Millrace and the Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 0.5%, and maximum field coverage of 47%. The maximum building coverage to the south of the tracks is proposed to comply with existing S-RP coverage standards. Based on these findings, the proposal is consistent with Policies G.16 and G.19. Parks and Recreation Facilities Element H.4. Encourage the development of private recreational facilities. H.7. The City of Eugene shall cooperate with the University of Oregon in the resolution of any loss of recreational facilities associated with development in the Riverfront Park. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 65 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION The proposal does not result in any loss of recreational facilities, and instead proposes new facilities that, when not in use by the University, can be made available for community use through partnership with the University of Oregon Department of Physical Education and Recreation. Additional facilities unconditionally open to the public include the realigned bike path, improved access to the river via soft trails and view points, and a proposed personal paddle craft launch point. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. Citizen Involvement Element K.3. Improve and maintain local mechanisms that provide the opportunity for residents and property owners in existing residential areas to participate in the implementation of policies in the Metro Plan that may affect the character of In addition to the public outreach efforts included in the development of the Framework Vision Project, the North Conditional Use Permit project and concurrent Conceptual Study (of the land between the railroad tracks and the Willamette River) involved extensive outreach with a wide range of stakeholders in order to inform the Conceptual Study and Master Site Plan. Stakeholder engagement included groups internal to the university and stakeholders external to the university. Internal efforts focused on faculty, staff, students, and administrators. External efforts focused on community leaders, business leaders, city and agency representatives, neighboring property owners, river and ecology advocates, neighborhood associations, and other interested parties. This section summarizes the outreach that occurred in formally scheduled meetings. Many conversations, one-on-one meetings, information-sharing and phone calls also took place that were not formally scheduled. The public process started in July 2017. Outreach to-date has included: Eight focus group meetings (five internal, two external, and one combined internal/external); Two public open houses; Two neighborhood meetings; Information-sharing meetings with internal and external stakeholders and interested parties (ongoing); Individual interviews with community members representing key interests; Three Campus Planning Committee meetings; Five e-updates to an e-mail list of interested parties; Five e-updates to the community stakeholder focus group; Three updates in Around-the-O; and Sharing information on the project web page (ongoing), including open house materials and providing a function for public comment. It should be noted that the university also conducted outreach one year prior to the project, from May 2016 through October 2016, to understand areas of concern and interest. This effort included meetings with the Campus Planning Committee, faculty in the College of Design and Biology, PE&REC, Club Sports, Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, and representatives of neighborhood associations, adjacent community organizations, and local government (planning, transportation, parks and recreation). Below is a more detailed description of the outreach meetings to-date: Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 66 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Internal Outreach Ecology Focus Group The Ecology focus group was comprised of representatives from the departments of Biology, Geography, Environmental Studies, Landscape Architecture, and the Urban Farm Program and the Institute for Ecology and Evolution. The Ecology focus groupÈs expertise in ecology and landscape design delivered important feedback regarding the current use of the area for research and outdoor learning, areas of ecological significance, design considerations, and recommendations for conservation, restoration, and enhancement.

The university also made project update announcements in Around-the-O on August 1, 2017, October 31, 2017, and January 9, 2018. A summary of all scheduled outreach meetings and key outreach activities conducted for the proposal is included as Exhibit E Outreach Summary. Riverfront Park Study A. Land Use Element 1. The City of Eugene shall apply the Special Development District to property under University ownership. The Special Development District zoning classification has been applied to the subject property through the adoption of the Riverfront Research Park Special Area Zone (S-RP). Therefore, this policy is addressed. 2. The City of Eugene shall consider Special District zoning for other properties within the Riverfront Park Study area only at the request of affected property owners. This policy recognizes that the existing mix of zoning districts reflects existing land use patterns. Changes in zoning will follow decisions by property owners regarding future use of their property. Application of the Special District to properties not owned by the University of Oregon will be evaluated on the ability of the subject site to meet the objectives and goals of the proposed use. This proposal does involve or anticipate any changes or alterations to current zoning, as all properties in question are currently owned by the University of Oregon. Therefore, this policy is addressed. 3. For land zoned SD, Special Development, development proposals shall be considered on a case-by-case basis through the conditional use permit process. This process provides a high degree of flexibility for development proposals and allows the city to make development-related decisions on the basis of their conformance with predetermined standards. This policy also recognizes that a large portion of the North Campus area lies within the boundaries of the Willamette Greenway. Under the Conditional Use Permit process called for in the Riverfront Research Park Special Area Zone (S-RP), new development located within the Greenway boundaries must also comply with Willamette Greenway criteria specified in the Eugene Code (EC 9.8815) and presented in Section 5.3. This proposal not only addresses S-RP and Willamette Greenway approval criteria, but also includes compliance with additional development Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 70 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION regulations. By seeking a conditional use permit, this proposal in itself is in compliance with this policy. 4. The following uses shall be permitted in the SD district for the Riverfront Park area: a) University programs and activities. b) Uses related to the activities, research, and programs of the University of Oregon, including light industrial, research and development, and office. c) A limited range of retail and non-retail uses permitted in the C-I, Neighborhood Commercial District (see Appendix B, Exhibit A). d) Other retail and non-retail uses that complement University activities. e) Multiple-family dwellings. The intent of this policy is to provide for a variety of uses within the subject property, and to balance this development potential against its possible impact on other portions of the community. This policy establishes direction to tie the development in this area to the primary distinguishing feature, which is its proximity to the University of Oregon. This policy recognizes that the area's proximity to the university is unique and it is this proximity which should ultimately determine the range of uses uniquely appropriate for the site. The range of service uses permitted in the S-RP Zone are limited to those which might be necessary to provide some of the services needed to support employment and residential development in the area. The Zone is not intended to duplicate the extensive range of services available in the commercial areas around the University of Oregon, along Franklin Boulevard, and in the downtown area. As such, the proposal envisions the site as a strategic location primarily for university programs and activities along with university- related uses. Such uses include but are not limited to research, academic, administrative, physical education and recreation, outdoor research and education, conservation, and university housing. By focusing on university programs and activities, the proposal is in accordance with this policy. The proposal does not suggest uses that are not permitted in the zone. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 5. Development standards within the SD, Special Development District, applied to the Riverfront Park, shall be designed to: a) Provide for intensity of development while recognizing the environmental and open space attributes and requirements of the area. b) Recognize that proximity to alternate transportation facilities may provide opportunities to reduce parking requirements for certain industrial uses. c) Provide for signing standards consistent with the Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 71 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION purpose of the district. d) Allow for a mixture of uses in the SD, Special Development District. e) Ensure that development in the Riverfront Park is primarily related to University activities and programs. This policy outlines the criteria against which a development proposal will be measured. The policy prioritizes university and university-related uses, and supports the preservation of environmental attributes, and the coordination of development with alternative transportation. The proposal aligns with these three qualities, as the proposal centers around university and university- related uses, while also improving access along the Willamette River, providing options for a more pedestrian and bike-friendly network within the site and to Franklin Boulevard. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 6. Working with the City of Springfield and Lane County, the City of Eugene shall seek an amendment to the Metropolitan Plan which would designate a portion of the property within the Riverfront Park Study area owned by the University of Oregon for "University/Research" activities. This policy recognizes that the subject property is owned by the University of Oregon and is designated for University/Research activities. The proposal takes this fact into consideration, as proposed development directly falls within this category of use. Proposed development includes recreational fields for university use, as well as public open space along the river which will also have an educational and research function. Any potential new building would be for uses permitted in this zone. The proposal does not include uses not permitted in the zone. Therefore, the proposal satisfies the requirements of this policy. B. Transportation Element 1. The City, if possible in conjunction with a developer, shall work with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Southern Pacific Railroad to increase the number of points of access to undeveloped property within the Riverfront Park Study area. This policy recognizes that existing access into the subject site is limited. The policy acknowledges that: 1) Franklin Boulevard is a State highway and subject to access controls by the ODOT; and 2) Union Pacific Railroad will be a future participant in negotiating access through the railroadÈs right-of-way. Currently, the proposal seeks to improve access to the site through additional crossings of the railroad tracks, Millrace and Franklin Boulevard, and will enable a more pedestrian and bike-friendly experience, as well as improved access to the EmX. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 2. The City shall work with the Lane Transit District, the University of Oregon, and employers in the Riverfront area to maximize the use of alternate modes of transportation. Facilities and programs Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 72 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION will be developed to work toward the goal of accommodating a substantial number of the trips made to new development within the Riverfront Park Study area through modes other than the single-occupancy automobile. Eugene has been successful in encouraging the use of alternate transportation modes. A significant level of alternate mode usage reduces potential impacts on the already limited area- wide parking; reduces the requirements for public expenditures on street improvements; and provides opportunity for more intense development within the subject site, south of the railroad tracks and adjacent to Franklin Boulevard. This policy recognizes that the proximity of potential development to the University of Oregon and downtown Eugene increases the ability to rely on alternative transportation modes for all types of trips. The policy also recognizes that aggressive action by the City, Lane Transit District, and the University of Oregon will be required to achieve the alternate mode objectives. For instance, University of Oregon has a robust transportation demand management program that relies heavily on public transportation, walking, and bicycling, consistently resulting annually in more than 80% of the students and more than 40% of faculty and staff using alternate modes as their primary mode of commuting. Proposing university uses in the North Campus area will continue the same pattern of commuting as for the rest of campus. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 3. The City shall use its Capital Improvement Programming process to identify projects, their implementation schedules, and anticipated funding sources needed to provide transportation facilities to service development in the Riverfront Study Area. Special efforts shall be made to secure non-City funding for capital improvements whenever possible. This policy acknowledges the CityÈs process of capital improvement programming as the appropriate mechanism to identify timing and funding sources for publicly constructed projects aimed at accommodating transportation demand from future development. This policy also recognizes that funding of any particular project identified in the Capital Improvement Program can come from a variety of sources, and that, in any case, the City should make strong efforts to find outside funding sources for transportation projects involved in development of the North Campus area. The Applicant will continue to coordinate with the city regarding public capital improvements, however the future development projects within the project site will be funded by the Applicant. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 4. The City shall pursue construction of projects intended, by design and timing, to avoid Level of Service "E" in the Franklin Boulevard corridor. Following approval of CU 88-16 in 1989, the North Campus area was the subject of extensive transportation analysis. The area was included in the analysis conducted for the Central Area . Several improvement projects were required or recommended as a Transportation Study (CATS) result of proposed development, all of which have been implemented: Franklin Boulevard and Onyx Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; Franklin Boulevard at Agate Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 73 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Downtown/Franklin Boulevard signal systems: Implementation of optimal signal timings; ththth including 18 Avenue and 19 Avenue in the system; and, new controllers at 18 Avenue and University Street at Alder Street; th Agate Street at 18 Street: Reconstruction of the intersection; th Agate Street at 15 Street: Reconstruction of the intersection; th 11 Street and Kincaid Street: Construction of new signal. The City and Lane Transit District have coordinated extensively to plan and construct the bus rapid transit system, EmX. Franklin Boulevard is currently served by an EmX line extending from Downtown Eugene to Springfield Station and the project area is adjacent to a primary transit station at Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street. Additional improvements to improve the capacity and function of Franklin Boulevard were conditioned and required as part of the approved Conditional Use Permit for Matthew Knight Arena and have also been implemented. Based on the above findings, implementation of planned improvements to accommodate proposed development of the North Campus area in accordance with CU 88-16, and given that the trip generation resulting from the current proposal is less than was approved in the prior Conditional Use Permit in 1989, the proposal will not result in a Level of Service of ÅEÆ on Franklin Boulevard, a requirement of the . Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. Riverfront Park Study 5. Required transportation projects will be phased and the phasing schedule will depend upon the level of participation of non- public funds (i.e., participation by a developer) and the level of actual development. This policy acknowledges that phasing of transportation projects will be required. The policy also recognizes that the phasing schedule could appropriately be accelerated through non-public funding of projects (or portions of projects). The proposal does not involve any required transportation projects, and is instead limited to campus improvements. This policy is satisfied. 6. The City shall encourage the University of Oregon, Lane County, and the Oregon Department of Transportation to participate financially in transportation improvements involved in the Riverfront Park Development area. This policy recognizes that a number of agencies will be involved in funding future transportation improvements. For example: 1) because Franklin Boulevard is a State facility, ODOT participation in funding improvements is appropriate; and 2) funding of pedestrian sidewalks and crossings of Franklin Boulevard (especially those above-grade) by the University of Oregon might be appropriate. While the proposed development does not dictate partners and funding mechanisms for transportation improvements, the university has successfully forged such partnerships in the past, and will implement these working relationships as projects become viable. This policy is satisfied to the greatest extent practicable. 7. The City, in cooperation with the University and developers, shall develop a plan for a comprehensive bicycle path network for the Riverfront Study area including: 1) the South Bank Bike Trail; 2) the Mill Race Bike Path (included in the Eugene Bikeways Master Plan); and 3) new paths providing access between Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 74 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Franklin Boulevard and the south Bank Trail and to destinations within the study area. This policy recognizes the importance of bicycles as a component of the transportation system and the need to achieve high levels of bicycle use to reduce traffic demands on the street system. A bikeway network providing direct access to buildings and covered bicycle parking areas can help attain the highest possible levels of bicycle commuting. In addition, sensitively integrated paths can help make the area attractive and support improved access to the river and the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Path System. With these principles in mind, the proposal seeks to improve the bicyclist experience for commuters and recreational cyclists alike by connecting the bike path to the east and west along the Willamette River to form a cohesive multi-modal path, and providing improved access across the railroad tracks and Franklin Boulevard, as shown on Sheet L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). Through improvement to the comprehensive bicycle path network within the site, the proposal addresses this policy. C. Environment Element 1. The City of Eugene shall protect the riparian strip along the southern bank of the Willamette River within the study boundaries by: 1) directing future development away from this environmentally sensitive area; 2) establishing a buffer strip beginning at the top of the bank and extending a minimum of 35 feet to the south; 3) establishing a deeper setback to protect the east Millrace outfall and the heavily used bicycle/pedestrian area around the south approaches of the Autzen Bike Bridge; and 4) developing, with the University of Oregon and the Eugene Water & Electric Board and other major property owners along the river's banks, an active management plan intended to enhance the environment of the natural vegetation along the river's edge. In this area, the riparian strip refers to the narrow vegetative strip along the steep south bank of the river. This policy is intended to protect the riparian strip along the river which will result in: 1) preservation of valuable natural elements; 2) riverbank stabilization; and 3) protection of developable property from potential debris during major flooding (a rare possibility). This policy also recognizes that development within the Riverfront Park Study area provides unique opportunities to create more of an urban edge along portions of the river through sensitive location of buildings along the river, and that location of some public improvements can occur within the buffer and riparian strip. For example, a bicycle/pedestrian path could appropriately be included within the buffer strip and a public plaza and public access improvements could appropriately extend to the river through the riparian strip. /WR Conservation Overlay Zone regulations establish a minimum required 100-foot conservation setback from the Willamette River top of bank. The Applicant has proposed a setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 75 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION L01 Regulatory Plan, throughout the majority of the site in order to provide an increased riparian buffer, and to protect natural viewsheds where practicable. It is important to note that since this 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank, the setback equates to 250-300 feet as measured from the waterÈs edge. The proposal includes two potential alignments of the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Path, to provide access to the river. Proposed setbacks of 200 feet are also included around the Millrace Outfall to protect the area as a significant natural water feature. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 2. The existing Millrace which passes through a portion of the study area is an important environmental and historic city feature. Development occurring in the Riverfront Park shall maintain or improve visual and bicycle/pedestrian access to and along the Millrace, expanding its use for public recreation while at the same time recognizing its role as a storm runoff channel. This policy recognizes the value of the Millrace in Eugene, both as an historic feature and environmental asset for recreation and stormwater runoff. The policy is intended to ensure that future development adjacent to the Millrace enhances its continued public use. The proposal protects the Millrace to the greatest extent possible by maintaining a 40-foot conservation setback from the top of bank, and incorporating recommendations for improving natural vegetation around the Millrace Outfall including setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields. This 200- foot setback equates to 250-300 feet when measured from the waterÈs edge. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 3. Development occurring in the Riverfront Park area shall be designed to preserve a significant cluster of black locust, English oak, and redleaf plum trees located just east of the current location of the bicycle path. This policy recognizes that while most of the riparian corridor contains invasive vegetation that should be removed, this existing stand of trees adds to the important vegetative cover in the area. The significant cluster of trees referenced in the above policy is located in Area 6, east of 39 Riverfront Parkway and the proposed bike path alignment options. The cluster is almost entirely located within the /WR conservation area adjacent to the Willamette River. As illustrated on Sheet L02 Site Plan (Exhibit A), future building development is sited and designed to preserve this tree cluster. In addition, the proposal includes recommendations to restore and improve native vegetation, both along the riverbank and throughout the site. Preserving native trees is one method of ecological restoration, and is ensured by the protections established in the /WR Conservation Overlay Zone. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. 4. Development in the Riverfront Park area shall, when possible, maintain and enhance the public's physical access to the river and the riparian strip along its banks. This policy recognizes that development should occur in concert with continued public access to 39 . University of Oregon and City of Eugene. Riverfront Research Park Master Plan and Design Guidelines December 1988. Page 32. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 76 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION the river. It directs that, where possible, development plans should maintain and improve physical access by the public to the river and its edge. Physical access includes pedestrian and bicycle access along the river, pedestrian access to the river bank, and access to the riverbanks for swimming, fishing, and launching small paddle craft. As noted in Policy C.1 (Environment), protection of the conservation area along the river will be balanced with the need for public access to the river. Through extensive feedback through public involvement, the proposal seeks to enhance the publicÈs physical access to the river by improving the ecological quality of the site, public safety, ease of access of public facilities, and views, and by developing a cohesive bike path along the river. By including these aspects as key components of the proposal, this policy is sufficiently addressed. D. Public Services and Amenities Element 1. Transportation improvements shall be required in the first phases of development to ensure adequate vehicular access, including access for emergency vehicles. The site is currently adequately served by existing transportation improvements, including the railroad underpass along Riverfront Parkway. The proposal includes transportation improvements that take into account service vehicles, and private transportation as shown on Sheets L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan and L05 Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). These improvements will be phased appropriately to ensure adequate access to the site at all times. Therefore, this policy is satisfied to the great extent practicable. 2. The City will work with the University of Oregon and developers in financing and developing public amenities to serve the Riverfront Park area. The Applicant will coordinate with the City on the financing and development of public amenities, such as realignment of the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Path and additional river access points, to serve the project area. Therefore, this policy is addressed. 3. The City shall investigate ways of financing public facilities in a timely manner, using techniques beyond traditional support from the general fund. This policy is aimed at the city, and therefore is not applicable to the proposal. 4. The City shall ensure that in the context of development in the Riverfront Park area, the existing bike-pedestrian facility is relocated closer to the river bank and sensitively integrated into the area. In addition, the primary transportation circulation system serving the area shall include illuminated bicycle- pedestrian facilities. This policy directs that the path be located between future development and the river. Staying true to this vision, the proposal provides two options for relocating the bike path between future development and the river. One option is an alternative to locate the bicycle path within the 100- foot conservation setback along the river to provide better public access to the river and its Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 77 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION viewshed. Therefore, this policy is addressed. 5. As development occurs in the Riverfront Park area, privately financed amenities will be designed to supplement the amenities which are publicly financed. Future development will follow university processes and support will be designed to support public amenities. This policy is addressed to the greatest extent practicable. (b) Based on technical analysis (particularly with respect to transportation facilities), planned public facilities shall be shown to accommodate the requirements of the proposed development. Exhibit D is a preliminary trip generation analysis for the North Campus area. Trip generation was th estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10Edition. thth The manual is updated on a regular basis, with the 4 edition being in effect in 1987 and the 10 edition now in effect. Universities (Land Use Code 550 Ã University/College) and research facilities (Land Use Code 760 Ã Research Center) are among the uses studied and reported in both editions of the Trip Generation Manual. Following the approval of CU 88-16 in 1989, the UO secured approval to develop between 1.2 million and 1.8 million square feet within the North Campus area. At this time, enrollment at UO was approximately 17,600 students and the campus had approximately 4,919,000 gross square feet of development. This equates to a ratio of 3.578 students per 1,000 gross square feet of building area. Applying this ratio to the 1989 Long-term Development Plan produces an estimate of approximately 4,300 to 6,450 net new students in the 1.2 to 1.8 million square feet of planned development. Under each respective land use category (University Code 550; Research Center Code 760), the student population suggested a daily total of 10,350-15,550 trips, and the gross floor area suggested a daily total of 6,445-9,285 trips. Under the current proposal, the UOÈs current student population of approximately 21,300 students is accommodated within approximately 6.642 million gross square feet of development, or a ratio of 3.207 students per 1,000 gross square feet. Applying this ratio to the long-range development plan suggests 3,600 more students could be accommodated, and ultimately suggests 7,035 daily trips could be expected. After the previous CUP was approved in 1989, the North Campus area was the subject of extensive transportation analysis. Several improvement projects were required or recommended as a result of proposed development, all of which have been implemented: Franklin Boulevard and Onyx Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; Franklin Boulevard at Agate Street: Reconstruction of the intersection and signal; Downtown/Franklin Boulevard signal systems: Implementation of optimal signal timings; ththth including 18 Avenue and 19 Avenue in the system; and, new controllers at 18 Avenue and University Street at Alder Street; th Agate Street at 18 Street: Reconstruction of the intersection; th Agate Street at 15 Street: Reconstruction of the intersection; th 11 Street and Kincaid Street: Construction of new signal. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 78 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION The City and Lane Transit District have coordinated extensively to plan and construct the bus rapid transit system, EmX. Franklin Boulevard is currently served by an EmX line extending from Downtown Eugene to Springfield Station and the project area is adjacent to a primary transit station at Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street. Additional improvements to improve the capacity and function of Franklin Boulevard were conditioned and required as part of the approved Conditional Use Permit for Matthew Knight Arena and have also been implemented. Based on the above findings, the trip generation resulting from the current proposal is less than was approved in CU 88-16, and the trip generation is further offset by improvements to facilities that have occurred since the approval of the last Conditional Use Permit. Along with implementation of planned improvements to accommodate proposed development of the North Campus area, planned public facilities will accommodate the requirements of the proposed development. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. (c) The proposed development shall protect visual access from main entry points from Franklin Boulevard to the river/riparian vegetation. The proposal does not involve changes to the project area that negatively affect visual access from main entry points from Franklin Boulevard such as Riverfront Parkway. The Applicant has established a Regulatory Plan, Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan Exhibit A, that applies more self-imposed, stringent development regulations than is required by code in order to facilitate riparian restoration, open space improvements, and for viewsheds to be protected. For example, the Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage. North of the tracks, the Applicant is proposing maximum building coverages well below what is allowed by the code. The applicable S-RP zone states that at least 40% of the portion of the development site shall be shall be landscaped with living plant materials, requiring the building coverage and site elements to be contained within 60% of the development site (implying an allowed building coverage of 40% to 50%). To the west of the Millrace (Area 4), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 15%; to the east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 16%. Between the Millrace and the Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 0.5%, and maximum field coverage of 47%. The maximum building coverage to the south of the tracks is proposed to comply with existing S-RP coverage standards. By maintaining current access points from Franklin Blvd, as well as electing to impose height limitations, the Applicant demonstrates a commitment to protecting visual access through regulation of building mass and scale. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied (2) Criteria for Development Within Willamette Greenway Boundaries. (a) Compliance with the criteria in EC 9.3725(1) Criteria for all Development above. Findings presented under EC 9.3725(1) satisfy this criterion, and are incorporated by reference herein. (b) The height and bulk of the proposed development shall be designed to consider the impacts on public open space, especially the buffer strips along the Willamette River and Millrace, and to adhere to the Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 79 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION height limitations specified along the Willamette River. Building setbacks shall be varied to avoid the effect of a continuous wall along the minimum setback line and to adhere to the requirement for protection of designated features (i.e., Millrace and pedestrian linkage to the Autzen Stadium footbridge). As noted, the Applicant has established a Regulatory Plan, Sheet L01 Exhibit A, that applies more self-imposed, stringent development regulations than is required by code in order to facilitate riparian restoration, open space improvements, and for viewsheds to be protected. For example, the Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage that limit the height and bulk of development in consideration of open space preservation. North of the tracks, the Applicant is proposing maximum building coverages well below what is allowed by the code. The applicable S-RP zone states that at least 40% of the portion of the development site shall be shall be landscaped with living plant materials, requiring the building coverage and site elements to be contained within 60% of the development site (implying an allowed building coverage of 40% to 50%). To the west of the Millrace (Area 4), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 15%; to the east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 16%. Between the Millrace and the Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 0.5%, and maximum field coverage of 47%. The maximum building coverage to the south of the tracks is proposed to comply with existing S- RP coverage standards. In addition, the Applicant has established maximum building heights north of the tracks that are well below the code allowance. The applicable S-RP zone states that there is no height limitation for a structure outside 75 feet of the top of the south bank of the Willamette River. As the Applicant proposes that all development occur outside the 100-foot setback, theoretically no building height maximums are applicable by code. The applicant proposes a 45-foot maximum building height to the west of the Millrace (Area 4), and a 37-foot maximum east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6). In the land between the Millrace and Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the applicant is proposing a 15-foot height limit to allow for the potential construction of recreation and outdoor classroom support facilities. For areas south of the tracks, the Applicant has established a maximum building height of 85 feet, which would allow for a range of building heights similar to campus buildings across Franklin Boulevard. Outside of development regulations imposed by the Applicant, it is important to note that the open space preservation within the site is also supplemented by additional state regulations. The Willamette River adjacent to the development site is identified as a Goal 5 Water Resource. The Willamette River is a Category A resource, meaning it is designated for protection with a required 100-foot setback. In addition, the development site contains a Category A Wetland, labeled site WR-4 on the Goal 5 Inventory. This Riverfront Park/Millrace wetland requires a setback of 50 feet. Both of these setbacks have been incorporated in site design by the Applicant on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A). In addition, protection of significant riparian vegetation is ensured through existing established /WR protection provisions in EC 9.4900-9.4980, which are not affected by the proposal. The above findings demonstrate that proposal includes varied setbacks, that building development will not result in a continuous wall along the setback, and that open space and riparian area conservation recommendations ensure protection of designated features. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 80 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION (c) To the greatest possible degree, the intensification, change of use, or development will provide the maximum possible landscaped area, open space, or vegetation between the activity and the river. The Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage. As noted, the Applicant has established a Regulatory Plan, Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan Exhibit A, that applies more self-imposed, stringent development regulations than is required by code in order to facilitate riparian restoration, open space improvements, and for viewsheds to be protected. For example, the Applicant has established regulations regarding maximum building coverage. North of the tracks, the Applicant is proposing maximum building coverages well below what is allowed by the code. The applicable S-RP zone states that at least 40% of the portion of the development site shall be shall be landscaped with living plant materials, requiring the building coverage and site elements to be contained within 60% of the development site (implying an allowed building coverage of 40% to 50%). To the west of the Millrace (Area 4), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 15%; to the east of Riverfront Parkway (Area 6), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 16%. Between the Millrace and the Riverfront Parkway (Area 5), the Applicant proposes a maximum building coverage of 0.5%, and maximum field coverage of 47%. The maximum building coverage to the south of the tracks is proposed to comply with existing S-RP coverage standards. Through complying with maximum building coverage significantly under that allowed by code, the Applicant demonstrates a clear commitment to preserving open space to the greatest extent practicable. This finding, combined with the intent to continue to use the site for its intended range of uses permitted in the S-RP, such as university and research uses, demonstrates the proposal does not change the schedule of permitted uses on the site, and provides the maximum possible landscaped area. Therefore, the criterion is satisfied. (d) To the maximum extent practicable, the proposed development shall provide for protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along the Willamette River. This means protection and enhancement of trees and understory characteristic of native vegetation within the riparian strip along the Willamette River. It also means removal, and active management to prevent reintroduction of, disturbance vegetation such as Himalayan blackberries and English ivy. As used herein, the riparian strip means the area between the top of the river bank and the waterÈs edge. By incorporating ecological and riparian restoration techniques along the riverbank, the proposed development shall provide for protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along the Willamette River. More explicitly, the prepared Riparian Assessment and Management Report by Mason, Bruce & Girard found that vegetated riparian areas within the development site were historically reduced to narrow strips along the river. In order to enhance the natural vegetative fringe, the Applicant seeks to incorporate as many applicable restoration techniques as possible as funding becomes available. Two techniques proposed in the report include large-scale invasive plant removal, and removal of concrete riprap along the shoreline. The Applicant has also established self-imposed regulations regarding setbacks on the site. For example, the required conservation area setback within the site is 100 feet. However, the Applicant proposes a riparian enhancement setback of 200-foot for buildings and recreational Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 81 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A). It is important to note that since this 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank, the setback equates to 250-300 feet as measured from the waterÈs edge. This setback requirement preserves the riparian fringe and maximizes riparian restoration opportunities to the greatest extent possible. (e) To the greatest possible degree, necessary and adequate public access will be provided to and along the river by appropriate legal means. As used in this section, the words Ågreatest possible degreeÆ are drawn from Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b.) and are intended to require a balancing of factors so that each of the identified Greenway criteria is protected to the greatest extent possible without precluding the requested use. Goal 15 (C.3.j.) provides that Ålands committed to urban uses within the Greenway shall be permitted to continue as urban uses.Æ This policy recognizes that development should occur in concert with continued public access to the river. It directs that, where possible, development plans should maintain and improve physical access by the public to the river and its edge to the greatest possible degree. Physical access includes pedestrian and bicycle access along the river, pedestrian access to the river bank, and access to the riverbanks for swimming, fishing, and launching small paddle craft. Protection of the conservation area along the river will be balanced with the need for public access to the river. Through extensive feedback through public involvement, the proposal seeks to enhance the publicÈs physical access to the river by improving the ecological quality of the site, public safety, ease of access of public facilities, and views, and by developing a cohesive bike path along the river. By including these aspects as key components of the proposal, this policy is sufficiently addressed. (3) Interpretation. In the event any of the terms used in these S-RP zone provisions require interpretation, the planning and development director shall be responsible for such interpretation. The Applicant acknowledges this criterion and accepts the planning and development directorÈs interpretation should any provisions require interpretation. 8.2 Willamette Greenway Permit (EC 9.8815) Statewide Planning Goal 15, Willamette River Greenway, provides that: ÅThe qualities of the Willamette River shall be protected, conserved, enhanced and maintained consistent with lawful uses present on December 6, 1974.

As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), approximately 74.2 acres of the subject site are within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. As noted, the proposal requires special consideration and approval of a Willamette Greenway permit to allow development to proceed in accordance with the master plan vision and to ensure compatibility with nearby uses. As used in this section, the words "the greatest possible degree" are drawn from Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b.) and are intended to require a balancing of factors so that each of the identified Willamette Greenway criteria is met to the greatest extent possible without precluding the requested use.

Willamette Greenway permit approval may be granted only if the proposal conforms to all the criteria in subsections (1) through (4), and the applicable standards of subsection (5) as follows: (1) To the greatest possible degree, the intensification, change of use, or development will provide the maximum possible landscaped area, open space, or vegetation between the activity and the river. Findings of fact that address this standard are described under Criterion C for Development Within Willamette Greenway Boundaries. These findings are incorporated by reference herein. (2) To the greatest possible degree, necessary and adequate public access will be provided along the Willamette River by appropriate legal means. Findings of fact that address this standard are described under Criterion E for Development Within Willamette Greenway Boundaries. These findings are incorporated by reference herein. (3) The intensification, change of use, or development will conform with applicable Willamette Greenway policies as set forth in the Metro Plan. Findings of fact that address this standard are described under Criteria A-E for Development Within Willamette Greenway Boundaries. These findings are incorporated by reference herein. (4) In areas subject to the Willakenzie Area Plan, the intensification, change of use, or development will conform with that planÈs use management considerations. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 83 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION The subject site is not within the boundaries of the Willakenzie Area Plan. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable. (5) In areas not covered by subsection (4) of this section, the intensification, change of use, or development shall conform with the following applicable standards: (a) Establishment of adequate setback lines to keep structures separated from the Willamette River to protect, maintain, preserve, and enhance the natural, scenic, historic, and recreational qualities of the Willamette Greenway. Setback lines need not apply to water related or water dependent activities as defined in the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines (OAR 660-15-000 et seq.). The subject property does not have an established Willamette Greenway setback line. As illustrated on Sheets L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the Applicant proposes the establishment of a Willamette Greenway setback line to keep structures separated from the river and to protect, maintain, preserve, and enhance the natural, scenic, historic, and recreational qualities of the Willamette Greenway. The proposed setback line is coterminous with the required 100-foot conservation area setback from the top of bank of the Willamette River as established by the /WR Conservation Overlay Zone. Section C.3 of Goal 15 sets out use management considerations and requirements for local plans and implementing measures. Subsection (k) provides for the Greenway setback. Other relevant considerations include providing adequate public access to the river, protection of significant fish and wildlife habitat, and enhancing and protecting the natural vegetative fringe along the River. Through establishment of the setback line, this criterion is satisfied. (b) Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitats as identified in the Metropolitan Plan Natural Assets and Constraints Working Paper. Sites subsequently determined to be significant by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife shall also be protected. As noted, the majority of the subject site is within the Willamette River Greenway, a natural asset, as identified in the . The Willamette River is Metro Natural Assets & Constraints Working Papers adjacent to the site and is identified as a Goal 5 Water Resource by the Goal 5 Water Resource . As identified on the Conservation PlanAdopted Protection Designations for the Eugene Goal 5 dated November 14, 2005, the Wetland, Riparian, and Upland Wildlife Habitat Inventories Map Willamette River is categorized a Category A Stream. All parcels within the subject site that abut the Willamette River have /WR Water Resource Conservation overlay zoning. Pursuant to EC 9.4920(1)(c)(1.), Category A streams with a distinguishable high bank have a 100 foot setback applied to top of bank (TOB) as part of the /WR overlay zoning. The proposed amendments do not change protections established by the required 100-foot /WR conservation setback in EC 9.4920(1)(c)(1.) or affect inventoried Goal 5 Water Resources. In order to support wildlife habitat, the proposal draws from the findings of the Riparian (Exhibit B), which found several key sensitive aquatic Assessment and Management Report species, and rare species historically documented within one mile of the site: Sensitive Aquatic Species Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 84 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Chinook salmon () Ã federally threatened (Federal ESA) Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Chinook salmon () Ã federally threatened (Federal ESA) Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Steelhead () Oncorhynchus mykiss Steelhead () Oncorhynchus mykiss White sturgeon () Acipenser transmontanus Western brook lamprey () Lampetra richardsoni Pacific lamprey () Ã species of concern (Federal ESA) Lampetra tridentate Rare Species (ORBIC) Western pond turtle () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Actinemys marmorata Retrorse sedge () Carex retrorsa Painted turtle () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Chrysemys picta Townsend's big-eared bat () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Corynorhinus townsendii Bald eagle () Ã sensitive vulnerable (State ESA) Haliaeetus leucocephalus Bradshaw's lomatium () Ãendangered (State ESA) Lomatium bradshawii Oregon chub () Ã sensitive critical (State ESA) Oregonichthys crameri Bull trout (Coastal population) () Ã sensitive critical/vulnerable (State ESA) Salvelinus confluentus There are no other documented occurrences of sensitive or rare wildlife species within the subject site. Per the report findings, the site contains the appropriate aquatic, upland, and riparian habitat to support all eight of the rare species listed above. However, significant on-site habitat for riverbank species is limited to the riparian corridor and is shown on Sheets L02 Site Plan and S01 Existing Conditions (Exhibit A). Additional measures that can improve the habitat and subsequent proliferation of historically-present species, as well as generally improve the river corridor include the aforementioned restoration techniques in C.31. There has not been any other subsequent determinations of significant sites on the subject property. Based on these findings, this criterion is satisfied. (c) Protection and enhancement of the natural vegetative fringe along the Willamette River to the maximum extent practicable. Outside of aforementioned development regulations imposed by the Applicant, the siteÈs preservation is supplemented by state regulations. The Willamette River adjacent to the development site is identified as a Goal 5 Water Resource. The Willamette River is a Category A resource, meaning it is designated for protection with a required 100-foot setback. In addition, the development site contains a Category A Wetland, labeled site WR-4 on the Goal 5 Inventory. This Riverfront Park/Millrace wetland requires a setback of 50 feet. Both of these setbacks have been incorporated by the Applicant on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A) which protects natural vegetative fringe, and the Applicant proposes an additional 200-foot riparian setback for buildings and recreational fields to allow for expanded riparian restoration. When this 200-foot setback is measured from the waterÈs edge, the setback equates to 250-300 feet. In addition, protection of significant riparian vegetation is ensured through existing established /WR protection provisions in EC 9.4900-9.4980, which are not affected by the proposal. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. (d) Preservation of scenic qualities and viewpoints as identified in the Metropolitan Plan Natural Assets and Constraints Working Paper. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 85 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION The Paper does not identify any scenic Metropolitan Natural Assets and Constraints Working qualities or viewpoints on the subject site. This criterion does not apply. (e) Maintenance of public safety and protection of public and private property, especially from vandalism and trespass in both rural and urban areas to the maximum extent practicable. As provided by Goal 15, Willamette River Greenway, Section J (OAR 660-015-0005): ÅNothing in this Goal is intended to authorize public use of private property. Public use of private property is a trespass unless appropriate easements and access have been acquired in allowance with law to authorize such use.Æ The Applicant (University of Oregon) is a public institution and owns all parcels within the subject site. The proposal does not encourage trespass on private property. All public improvements will be constructed in accordance with standards specified in EC 9.6505 and EC 9.3715. S-RP Zone development standards are consistent with those in the land use code and will contribute to foster public safety and protection of public and private property. Based on these findings, this criterion is satisfied. (f) Compatibility of aggregate extraction with the purposes of the Willamette River Greenway and when economically feasible, applicable sections of state law pertaining to Reclamation of Mining Lands (ORS Chapter 517) and Removal of Material; Filling (ORS Chapter 541) designed to minimize adverse effects to water quality, fish and wildlife, vegetation, bank stabilization, stream flow, visual quality, noise, safety, and to guarantee necessary reclamation. The proposal does not involve aggregate extraction nor will it have any impact on existing aggregate resources. This criterion does not apply. (g) Compatibility with recreational lands currently devoted to metropolitan recreational needs, used for parks or open space and owned and controlled by a general purpose government and regulation of such lands so that their use will not interfere with adjacent uses. As used in this section, the words "the greatest possible degree" are drawn from Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 15 (F.3.b.) and are intended to require a balancing of factors so that each of the identified Willamette Greenway criteria is met to the greatest extent possible without precluding the requested use. The proposal includes new facilities that, when not in use by the university, can be made available for community use through partnership with the University of Oregon Department of Physical Education and Recreation. Additional facilities open to the public include the realigned bike path, improved access to the river via soft trails and view points, and a proposed personal paddle craft launch point. Therefore, this policy is satisfied. (6) When site review approval is required, the proposed development will be consistent with the applicable site review criteria. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 86 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION The proposal does not involve or require Site Review. This criterion does not apply. (7) The proposal complies with all applicable standards explicitly addressed in the application. An approved adjustment to a standard pursuant to provisions beginning at EC 9.8015 of this land use code constitutes compliance with the standard. The above findings demonstrate compliance with applicable standards explicitly addressed in this application. No adjustment to standards are requested or needed. Based on these findings, this criterion is satisfied. 8.3 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Development Standards Demonstration of compliance with the S-RP developments standards is not an explicit requirement of the Conditional Use Permit or Willamette Greenway Permit approval criteria. The proposal addresses said criteria, to the greatest extent practicable, and in recognition of the nature of the proposal, a Master Site Plan, in order to demonstrate that future development will be consistent with development standards. EC 9.3715 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Development Standards. In order to allow an overall development that is consistent with the purpose and intent of the S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone as well as its unique location adjacent to the Willamette River and Millrace, the following development standards shall prevail. In the event the development standards here conflict with the general standards of this land use code, the standards provided here supersede any conflicting provisions. (1) Parking Requirements. The parking requirements for new construction provided here attempt to balance encouragement of use of alternative travel modes with the need for automobile storage; more parking than the minimums specified here may need to be provided. Parking and off- street loading areas shall be designed, laid out, and constructed in accordance with the parking area design, improvements, buffering, and dimensions as specified in EC 9.6420 Parking Area Standards. Required parking shall be determined for each separate occupancy within a building or on a development site. For example, in a combined industrial and office business, parking shall be required for the industrial use at a ratio of one space per 500 square feet and the office portion at one space per 400 square feet. Required parking shall be located within 400 feet of structures to be served unless a greater separation is specifically approved through the master development plan approval process. For that portion of the special area zone located between the Willamette River and the railroad tracks, up to 50 percent of the required parking may be provided north of the Willamette River if approved through the master site plan approval process as outlined in EC 9.3725 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Review Procedures. Required parking may be provided through joint use of parking facilities, subject to the requirements of EC 9.6430 Shared Off-Street Parking. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 87 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION (a) Required parking shall be provided at the following ratios, rounded up to the nearest whole number: 1. Industrial uses - 1 for each 500 square feet of gross floor area. 2. Retail uses - 1 for each 300 square feet of gross floor area. 3. Office uses - 1 for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. 4. University uses - 1 for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. 5. Multiple-family dwellings - 1 for each dwelling unit, plus 1 guest parking space for each 3 units. The proposal involves University uses and includes 1,343,300 gross square feet of new buildings, as shown in Table L02-2 Proposed Building Coverage (Exhibit A). Based on the proposed gross floor area, and the ratio provided for University uses above, 3,424 parking spaces would be required to serve the full North Campus build-out. In July 1997, the City of Eugene accepted a study that concluded the university was in compliance with applicable city codes regulating the supply of automobile and bicycle parking. This study included justification for a 50% reduction in the required automobile parking, as described in the EC 9.8030(10). Based on the application of the 50% reduction to the number of parking spaces required by EC 9.3715(1)(a), 1,712 parking spaces are required to serve the complete North Campus build-out, for most of which there are no definitive development plans or dedicated funding to construct improvements. Exhibit G City of Eugene Parking Code Compliance Report contains the annual analysis of student enrollment and automobile parking spaces on campus during calendar year 2016 with the intent of measuring continued compliance with City codes regulating required parking. One of the provisions of the study is that the university compare enrollment from the previous year with the amount of parking supply to ensure continued compliance. Following is the analysis: Average full-time enrollment, 2016: 20,079 Parking spaces required: (20,079 / 3.5) x .5 = 2,869 spaces Parking spaces supplied on the Eugene campus: 3,607 spaces The analysis shows that the campus currently contains a surplus of 738 parking spaces. Sheet L02 Site Plan (Exhibit A) identifies two future parking structures planned for construction in the North Campus area. The proposed structures are located in Area 2, east of Riverfront Parkway and north of Millrace Drive, and are planned to have a combined capacity of 1,110 parking 40 spaces. Some of the planned parking supply in North Campus is intended to address Knight Campus requirements per the Walnut Station Special Area Zone (S-WS) requirements, and other parking supply is intended to replace existing surface parking displaced by future Knight Campus and North Campus development and provide additional capacity for future parking removal. 40 University of Oregon Campus Physical Framework Vision. Appendix A: Coverage and Capacity; page A- 18. March 15, 2016. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 88 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION In addition to the future North Campus parking structures, the Campus Physical Framework Vision proposes additional future parking facilities located in other areas of campus that are intended to provide capacity to serve the needs of up to 34,000 student full-time equivalents. Compliance with (1)(a)4. above will be evaluated at the time of development and the CityÈs land use review component of the Construction Permit approval process ensures that parking standards will be met on a project by project basis. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. Based on the above findings, this standard is satisfied. (b) Bicycle parking: Bicycle spaces shall be provided as follows: 1. Non-residential uses - the minimum number of spaces shall equal 15 percent of the number of required automobile spaces. 2. Multiple-family dwellings - 1 space per unit. 3. Locking and cover shall be provided for all required spaces. 4. Required spaces shall be located no farther than 2 times the distance between building entrances used by automobile occupants and the automobile parking spaces closest to those entrances. 5. Each required space must be at least 6 feet long and 2 feet wide, with a minimum overhead clearance of 6 feet. As noted, 1,712 vehicle parking are required to serve the complete North Campus build-out, for most of which there are no definitive development plans or dedicated funding to construct improvements. Based on the ratio specified at (1)(b)1. above, 257 bicycle parking spaces are required for development that entails entirely non-residential uses. Future development could include student housing, a multiple-family use, which will be assessed per (1)(b)2. above as one required space per dwelling unit. Sheet L02 Site Plan (Exhibit A) demonstrates that there is sufficient space within the development sites to accommodate the required number of bicycle parking spaces. The North Campus area is within the boundaries of the universityÈs Bike Management Program, which regulates bicycle parking campus-wide. The requirement for campus bicycle parking is 1 space per 5 average full-time equivalent students and the ratios for the entire campus are 50% short term open; 25% short term covered; and, 25% long term. Compliance with (1)(b)1. above will be evaluated at the time of development and the CityÈs land use review component of the Construction Permit approval process ensures that bicycle parking standards, including type, location, and design characteristics, will be met on a project by project basis. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. (2) Setback Requirements. Development within the S-RP zone shall comply with the following setbacks: Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 89 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION (a) All structures, parking areas, streets, and access drives shall maintain a minimum setback of 35 feet from the top of the south bank of the Willamette River. A map indicating the location of the top of the south bank is on file with the cityÈs planning and development department. EC 9.3715 specifies that the development standards in the S-RP Zone supersede any conflicting provisions with the general standards. The /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone applies a 100-foot conservation setback to the Willamette River and a 40-foot conservation setback to the Millrace, as measured from the top of bank. According to the provisions at (2)(a) above, the Applicant could propose development, including structures, parking areas, streets, and access drives, beginning at 35 feet from the top of bank of the river. As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal includes a required 100-foot conservation setback extending from the Willamette River and Millrace top of bank lines. Further, the Applicant proposes a riparian enhancement setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan. Since this 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank, the setback equates to 250-300 feet as measured from the waterÈs edge. Based on the above findings, and because the proposal does not involve development within 35 feet of the top of bank, this standard is satisfied. (b) All structures, parking areas, streets, and access drives shall maintain a minimum setback of 15 feet from the south side of the bicycle path located (or as to be relocated) adjacent to the top of the river bank. If the setback specified herein requires a greater distance than the 35 feet specified under Section 9.3715(2)(a), the greater distance shall be maintained. As illustrated on Sheet L02 Site Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal includes two options for realignment of the bicycle path referenced in (2)(b) above. Sheet L02 Site Plan further illustrates that all proposed structures, parking areas, street, and access drives are more than 15 feet from the south side of the alignment options. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (c) Solar access shall be provided to at least 60 percent of the following designated areas: 1. The south bank of the Willamette River. 2. The bicycle path located (or as to be relocated) adjacent to the top of the river bank. 3. The Autzen Stadium footbridge protection area defined in Section 9.3715(2)(e) below. 4. Active recreation areas defined in the master site plan. The solar access required herein shall be provided at noon from February 21 to October 21 of any year. If building setbacks necessary to ensure this solar access are greater than would otherwise be required, the greater setback shall be required. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 90 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION As illustrated on Sheet L02 Site Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal does not include any proposed structure that impact solar access to the features listed in (2)(c) above. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (d) The Millrace shall be maintained as an open channel through the S- RP zone with the following setbacks: 1. No structure, street, access drive, or parking area shall be located adjacent to the east Millrace outfall within the area defined by the bicycle path as it existed on May 11, 1987. This area is indicated on the map referenced in subsection (2)(a) of this section. 2. No structure, street, access drive, or parking area shall be located within 15 feet of the top of the banks of the Millrace in all areas within the S-RP zone except for the area described under EC 9.3715(2)(d)1. above where a greater setback is required. Except for the east Millrace outfall area described under EC 9.3715(2)(d)1. above, street or access drive crossings that are needed for circulation may be approved as part of the master development plan. As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal does not include any structures, streets, access drives, or parking areas located adjacent to the east Millrace outfall or within 15 feet of the top of banks of the Millrace, with the exception of proposed crossings that are needed for pedestrian, bicycle, and service vehicle circulation, as illustrated on Sheets L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan and L05 Service Vehicle Primary Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. (e) All structures and parking areas shall maintain a setback of 50 feet on both sides of a straight line between the existing pedestrian underpass under the railroad tracks and the Autzen Stadium footbridge to provide visual linkage between the two structures. This area is indicated on the map referenced in subsection (2)(a) of this section. As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal does not include any structures or parking areas located within 50 feet of a straight line between the existing pedestrian underpass under the railroad track and the Autzen Stadium (Frohnmayer) footbridge. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (f) Multiple-family dwellings shall have interior yards of not less than 10 feet between buildings, without regard as to the location of the property line, or no interior yards required if the buildings abut or have a common wall, except where a utility easement is recorded adjacent to an interior lot line, in which event there shall be an interior yard of no less than the width of the easement. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 91 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION As noted, there are no definitive development plans or dedicated funding to construct improvements. Future development could include university-owned housing, a multiple-family use. Compliance with (2)(f) above will be evaluated at the time of development and the CityÈs land use review component of the Construction Permit approval process ensures that interior yard standards will be met on a project by project basis. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. (g) Except as provided above, all structures other than multiple-family dwellings shall have no setback requirements. Public improvements, including pedestrian and bicycle trails, public plazas, and similar amenities, but excluding roads and parking areas, are exempt from the setback requirements specified above. Compliance with (2)(g) above will be evaluated at the time of development and the CityÈs land use review component of the Construction Permit approval process ensures that this will be met on a project by project basis. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. (3) Required Building Separation and Profile Offsets. All buildings located within 75 feet of the top of the south bank of the Willamette River shall observe the following profile and separation requirements: (a) The maximum building profile as seen from end to end of the side(s) facing the river shall not exceed 200 lineal feet in total horizontal length. (b) Any building elevation parallel to the river shall not continue along an uninterrupted, continuous plane for more than 100 feet. For the purpose of this requirement, an uninterrupted, continuous plane is a wall having no variation in exterior surface along its length of more than 5 feet as measured at a perpendicular line from the plane of the wall. (c) Each building shall be separated by at least 50 feet from an adjoining building, measured parallel to the river. No building shall have a total horizontal length of more than 300 feet as measured on its longest axis. As noted, EC 9.3715 specifies that the development standards in the S-RP Zone supersede any conflicting provisions with the general standards. The /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone applies a 100-foot conservation setback to the Willamette River and a 40-foot conservation setback to the Millrace, as measured from the top of bank. According to the provisions at (2)(a) above, the Applicant could locate buildings within 75 feet from the top of bank of the river. As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the proposal includes a required 100-foot conservation setback extending from the Willamette River and Millrace top of bank lines. Further, the Applicant proposes a riparian enhancement setback of 200-feet for buildings and recreational fields along most of the length of the property, as shown on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan. Since this 200-foot setback is determined from the top of bank, the setback equates to 250-300 feet as Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 92 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION measured from the waterÈs edge. Based on the above findings, and because the proposal does not involve development within 75 feet of the top of bank, this standard is satisfied. (4) Coverage Requirements. Coverage requirements within the S-RP zone shall be as follows: (a) For that portion of a development site allocated for multiple-family residential use, the maximum permitted coverage by buildings and structures shall be 50 percent. (b) For that portion of a development site allocated for all uses other than multiple-family residential, at least 40 percent of that portion of the site to be developed shall be landscaped with living plant materials. Natural areas (e.g., along the Millrace or from the top of the bank along with the Willamette River south) may be included in the 40 percent computation. The amount of open space may be reduced to 30 percent if 40 percent of the required parking for the development or phase thereof is provided either below grade, at grade but under a structure, or in a parking structure. Public amenities such as plazas, pedestrian or bicycle trails, and similar improvements shall be considered open space when computing coverage. When computing coverage within the S-RP zone, structures owned by the Oregon State System of Higher Education and in existence as of May 11, 1987 shall not be included. Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A) is a tabulation of site coverage does not allow building coverage to exceed the above limits. The proposed building and field coverage limitations demonstrate that the coverage requirements in (4) above can be met in all development areas. The nature of this proposal is a long-range Master Site Plan. Compliance with this standard will be evaluated at the time of development and the CityÈs land use review component of the Construction Permit approval process ensures that the standard will be met as development occurs. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. (5) Height Limitation. No portion of a structure located within 75 feet of the top of the south bank of the Willamette River shall exceed 45 feet in height above grade (not to exceed 3 stories). There is no height limitation for a structure or a portion thereof outside the area described above. As noted, the proposal does not include any structures located within 75 feet of the Willamette River top of bank. As illustrated on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A), the Applicant proposes height limitations in all development areas in order to ensure that development is compatible with the existing campus and scenic qualities of the Willamette River. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. (6) Signs. Signs within the S-RP zone shall conform to the provisions of EC 9.6670 Central Commercial Sign Standards, except for any area located within 200 feet of the centerline of Franklin Boulevard in which area the provisions of EC 9.6675 Highway Commercial Sign Standardsshall apply. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 93 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION No signs facing the river shall be permitted within 75 feet of the top of the south bank of the Willamette River, except identity signs not exceeding 12 square feet in surface area which are not more than 5 feet above grade if ground-mounted or 10 feet above grade if wall-mounted. Compliance with this standard will be evaluated at the time of development and the CityÈs land use review component of the Construction Permit approval process ensures that the standard will be met as development occurs. Based on these findings, this standard is satisfied. 8.4 S-RP Public Facilities (EC 9.3720) Demonstration of compliance with the S-RP Public Facilities standards is not an explicit requirement of the Conditional Use Permit. The proposal addresses said criteria, to the greatest extent practicable, and in recognition of the nature of the proposal, a Master Site Plan, in order to demonstrate that future development will be consistent with public facility standards. EC 9.3720 S-RP Riverfront Park Special Area Zone Public Facilities. Within the S-RP zone, the following standards shall govern installation of improvements that are of benefit to the public and ensure public access: (1) A continuous, two-way (Class I) bicycle path shall be provided through the development along the river and at other locations designated in the Eugene Bikeways Master Plan. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan (Sheet L03, Exhibit A Plan Set) illustrates primary circulation routes, access points, and crossings that the university proposes to facilitate improved access to the North Campus area. The proposal includes two proposed alignment options for the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Path, a continuous, two-way bicycle path through the development site. One option shows the path further north closer to the riverÈs edge, and one option shows it further south. These options provide several key benefits: The northern alignment proposes a new bridge crossing over the mouth of the Millrace Slough, which is intended to enable future removal of the existing culvert and crossing and more comprehensive restoration of the slough. The alignment extends under the south abutment of the Frohnmayer Bridge and extends eastward in order enable a future extension to Knickerbocker bridge on the north side of the railroad tracks. The alignment allows for bank layback and riparian restoration, but not to the extent proposed in the southern alignment. The alignment responds to desires for public access along the river, enhanced safety by activating the riverÈs edge and improving sightlines, and improved ecological function. The southern alignment utilizes the existing culvert crossing within the Millrace Slough to transverse this feature. The alignment does not extend east, and connects to Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive, which is the current eastward travel pattern for pedestrians and bicyclists. Shifting the bike path further from the river allows for more area devoted to bank layback and riparian restoration, and lessens the steepness of the proposed transition from the ordinary high water line to top of bank line. The alignment responds to desires to expand the riparian area, improve ecological function, and minimize conflicts between recreation and habitat uses. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 94 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Based on the proposalÈs intent to implement of one of the aforementioned options for bike path realignment, this standard is satisfied. (2) Pedestrian-scale lighting shall be provided along the bicycle paths required above. Provisions of the S-RP Zone inherently ensure high-quality public amenities along the riverfront including bike parking, ample setbacks to protect the riverbank, and adequate lighting. Pedestrian-scale lighting will be provided along the bicycle path as required, and will be reviewed by the city through the standard development review process for a future bike path alignment. As discussed later, bike path lighting will comply with code standards for outdoor lighting. In addition, the university will implement other best practices to mitigate adverse impacts of the lighting toward the river. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (3) Street lights shall be provided along all public streets within the S-RP zone. Streetlights are provided along all existing public streets. No additional public streets are proposed. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (4) Street trees shall be provided along all public streets within the S-RP zone. Street trees are provided along all existing public streets. No additional public streets are proposed. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (5) Setback sidewalks shall be provided along all public streets within the S- RP zone, unless an alternative pedestrian circulation system of substantial equivalency is specifically approved as part of the master site plan approval process. The proposal does not involve new public streets. Existing public streets within the subject site include Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive. The portion of Riverfront Parkway between Millrace Drive and the Millrace has setback sidewalks. Millrace Drive and other portions of Riverfront Parkway have curbside sidewalks. As illustrated on Sheet L03 Pedestrian and Bicycle Primary Circulation Plan, the proposal includes an expanded and improved pedestrian circulation system. The Applicant requests flexibility to develop curbside sidewalks along Millrace Drive, in conjunction with future building development, in order to match existing conditions and respond to site constraints. Millrace Drive is a low-volume and low-speed public street. The construction of curbside sidewalks enable the ability to create a larger landscape area, as opposed smaller landscape areas on either side of the sidewalk). In consideration of the request for flexibility and the above findings, this standard is satisfied to the greatest extent practicable. (6) Provision shall be made for security, such as lighting, between any parking areas located outside the boundaries of the S-RP zone and the development site the parking is intended to serve. Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 95 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Provisions for security, such as lighting, will be provided between any parking areas located outside the boundaries of the S-RP zone and the development site, and will be reviewed by the city through the standard development review process. Therefore, this standard is satisfied. (7) All utilities shall be installed underground unless specifically exempted through the master site plan approval process. Exceptions shall be made for such features as padmounted transformers, switch cabinets, back flow prevention devices and closures needed to safely operate and maintain utility systems. All existing utilities that serve the subject site are provided underground. Any additional utilities needed for the site, aside from those excepted above, will be installed underground and reviewed through the standard development review process. Therefore, this standard is satisfied to the maximum extent practicable. 8.5 Outdoor Lighting Standards (EC 9.6725) Proposed development within the North Campus area is subject to Outdoor Lighting Standards at EC 9.6725 and will require Lighting Permits, as specified in EC 9.6725(6)(a). This section identifies applicable standards that apply to distinct areas within the subject site based on the establishment of outdoor lighting classifications (EC 9.6725(8)). All lighting fixtures are required to be cutoff with additional shielding, as necessary to direct light within the boundaries of the development site. There are three distinct lighting classification areas within the subject site: conservation areas, general development areas, and the recreation fieldsÈ development area. Conservation Areas (Area 3 and 7) Conservation areas are identified as Areas 3 and 7 on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A) and are within the Intrinsically Dark Areas (O-1) classification. Within this area, lighting is discouraged except where it is desirable to illuminate walkways, bike paths or other areas to be used after dark. The following standards apply. In addition, the university will implement other best practices to mitigate adverse impacts of the lighting toward the river. ÅExcept for pedestrian/bike tunnels, the walkway or pathway shall be illuminated to a minimum average maintained luminance of .3 foot-candle and not to exceed a maximum average maintained luminance of .9 foot-candle. The pedestrian/bike tunnel shall be illuminated to a minimum average maintained luminance of 4.0. Any other lighting fixtures not illuminating walkways, bike paths, or tunnels shall be designed to direct light downward, and light sources shall have an initial output of no more than 1,500 lumens.Æ General Development Areas (Area 1, 2, 4, and 6) General development areas are identified as Areas 1, 2, 4, and 6 on Sheet L01 Regulatory Plan (Exhibit A) and are within the High Ambient Light Areas (O-4) classification, which applies to: Å\[P\]ortions of colleges and universities, high schools, the fairgrounds, and other areas zoned PL determined by the planning director to have a high level of nighttime activity.Æ Recreation Fields Development Area (Area 5) Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 96 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION In addition, the proposed recreation fields will be used for intramural sports and similar activities that have unique lighting needs, consistent with EC 9.6725(12) Lighting of Outdoor Performance Facilities use. The following standards apply. In addition the university will implement other best practices to mitigate adverse impacts of field lighting toward the river. ÅDesign Plan: A lighting design plan shall be submitted which shows in detail the proposed lighting installation. The design plan shall include a discussion of the lighting requirements of various areas and how those requirements will be met. Dual System: The main lighting of the event (spotlighting or floodlighting, etc.) shall be turned off no more than 60 minutes after the end of the event. A low level lighting system shall be installed to facilitate patrons leaving the facility, cleanup, nighttime maintenance, etc. The low level lighting system shall provide an average horizontal illumination level, at grade level, of no more than 3.0 foot-candles with a uniformity ration (average to minimum) not exceeding 4:1. Primary Playing Areas: Where playing fields or other special activity areas are to be illuminated, lighting fixtures shall be specified, mounted, and aimed so that their beams fall within the primary playing area and immediate surroundings, and so that no direct illumination is directed off the site. Parking Areas: Lighting for parking areas shall comply with EC 9.6725(9). Pedestrian/Bike path Areas: Lighting for pedestrian and bike pathways shall comply with EC 9.6725(8)(b).Æ As noted, all outdoor lighting is subject to a Lighting Permit issued by the building and permit services manager. Proposed lighting associated with development will be reviewed through the Lighting Permit and Application Approval Process as specified in EC 9.6725(7). This review process ensures that any proposed outdoor lighting will be consistent with the above standards based on the applicable lighting classification and use. 8.6 Duration of Approval EC 9.7340(2) contains the following provision concerning the duration of a Conditional Use Permit approval: ÅUnless the hearings official designates otherwise, a conditional use permit approval shall expire 18 months after the effective date of approval unless actual construction or alteration has begun under a required permit, or in the case of a permit not involving construction or alteration, actual commencement of the authorized activity has begun. However, the applicant may submit a modification application at any time before the 18-month period has expired, requesting an extension of the approval period. The applicant may request more than one extension. Under no circumstances, however, can the total combined extension periods exceed 36 months from the original expiration date.Æ (emphasis added) EC 9.7340(4) contains the following provision concerning the duration of a Willamette Greenway permit approval: ÅUnless the decision specifies otherwise, a Willamette Greenway permit approval shall expire 18 months after the effective date of approval unless actual construction or alteration has begun under a required permit, or in the case of a permit not involving construction or alteration, actual commencement of the authorized activity has begun. However, the applicant may submit a modification application at any time before the 18-month period has Cameron McCarthy FINAL SUBMITTAL | June 22, 2018 97 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION expired, requesting an extension of the approval period. The applicant may request more than one extension. Under no circumstances, however, can the total combined extension periods exceed 36 months from the original expiration date. * * *.Æ (emphasis added) When CU 88-16 was approved, the hearings official designated a 20-year completion timeline. Given the precedent from the prior approval and duration of estimated timeline for completion, the Applicant requests that the hearings official recognize this unique aspect of the proposal and prevent the need for repeated extension requests in the future by granting a 30-year completion timeline. This Conditional Use Permit request is unique because it is for a vast area of land (77 acres), for most of which the university has no definitive plans and/or funding to improve yet. This land use approval is required by the S-RP zone and needed by the university so that it can move forward with current planned projects and accommodate future projects as the needs arise. The typical timeline for university capital projects is three to six years to secure funding and complete construction. Even if multiple projects were underway at once (which would be unlikely), full buildout for the number of projects and improvements possible in the Master Site Plan would take at least 30 years or longer. CU 88-16 did not involve a request for a Willamette Greenway permit, as those provisions did not exist in the EC at the time of application. Therefore, the Applicant request that the planning director specify a 30 year completion timeline in the decision in order to align with the completion timeline requested of the hearings official for the Conditional Use Permit. 8.7 Conclusion Based on the preceding findings and criteria, and the evidence incorporated herein, this request for concurrent Conditional Use and Willamette Greenway permit approval for a project permitted under the purview of the S-RP Zone demonstrates compliance with all applicable approval criteria and standards.

This report includes an analysis of stormwater management requirements to demonstrate compliance with applicable City Code requirements. STORMWATER Existing Conditions and Drainage Patterns The existing site south of the railroad tracks is fully developed with buildings, parking lots, walkways, outdoor storage areas, and green space (i.e. lawns, landscaping, gardens, and riparian areas). The existing site north of the railroad tracks (the Riverfront Area) consists primarily of vegetated land with paved bike and pedestrian paths. The most significant impervious surface within the Riverfront area idor extending from the north end of Riverfront Parkway to a point near Autzen footbridge. Stormwater runoff from the site is ultimately conveyed to the Millrace or the Willamette River. Existing drainage basin boundaries and destination points are shown on Drawing C01 and summarized as follows: South Millrace Basin (Basin A): This basin represents the majority of the site south of the railroad tracks and is characterized as the area that drains by gravity to the Millrace. The majority of the drainage in this basin is collected and conveyed through piped conveyance systems, but drainage adjacent to the Millrace is conveyed by sheet flow. The piped conveyance systems discharge to the Millrace through multiple outfalls. Riverfront Pump Station Basin (Basin B): This basin includes the area served by the Riverfront Pump station, and includes land south and north of the railroad tracks. Drainage within this basin is conveyed through public piped conveyance systems within Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive. The storm drain system enters the ted in Riverfront Parkway and th the north bank of the Millrace (located under the Riverfront Parkway bridge). North Athletic Field Basin (Basin C): This basin includes the athletic field located near the south end of the Autzen footbridge. Surface and subsurface drainage from the field is conveyed to the private outfall. North Millrace / Willamette Basin (Basin D): This basin includes the remaining land in the Riverfront area that is conveyed to the Millrace or Willamette River through sheet flow or shallow surface flow. Flows from this basin are distributed throughout the length of the adjacent Millrace and River. Hilyard Street Outfall Basin (Basin E): Although this basin is not within the North Campus CUP boundary, it is adjacent to the east edge of the CUP boundary and is noted here for context. This basin includes the cul-de-sac at the north terminus of Hilyard Street and may include some of the paved yard/lot located north of the cul-de-sac. Drainage from this basin is conveyed public outfall to the Willamette River. Soil and Groundwater Conditions Soils: Based on City of Eugene and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) mapping, the soils throughout the site are classified as sandy and gravelly soils with relatively high infiltration rates, with Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) classification of A or B. However, geotechnical boring log data, available from the 1990 Riverfront Research Park Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), indicates |3 UO North Campus June 15, 2018 Conditional Use Permit Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Analysis Report differing conditions. Specifically, deposits of fill are present in multiple locations throughout the site. Fill deposits The historical borings indicate fill material may have a high silt content and may have a significantly lower infiltration rates than the native sand and gravel soils. Groundwater: Monitoring well data presented in the 1990 ESA indicates seasonal high groundwater - data indicates a similar depth to groundwater within the study area. Future Geotechnical Investigation: Future development projects will include geotechnical investigation, infiltration testing, groundwater measurement, and engineering studies to determine if and where infiltration is feasible. Stormwater Management Approach for Future Development Development within the site will adhere to the applicable stormwater management requirements at the time of the development. The City of Eugene stormwater management requirements are set forth by Eugene Code (EC) Section 9.6790-9.6796 and the Eugene Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM). The 2014 SWMM is the current edition at the time of this report. Additional regulatory requirements may apply to projects impacting waters of the state. The following is a summary of the applicable stormwater management standards and the approach for stormwater management for development and redevelopment at the site. Stormwater Destination / Flood Control (EC 9.6791): EC 9.6791 and SWMM Section 1.4.3 require projects to demonstrate that the receiving public storm drain systems have adequate hydraulic capacity to handle increase flows from proposed development or redevelopment. The site is located entirely within the Willamette River Basin, which has not historically experienced flooding problems. As such, prescriptive flow control or detention requirements do not apply. However, detention may be appropriate for certain localized areas where the receiving storm drain system does not have the capacity to accept additional flows. The following provides a summary of the potential destination points within the site and applicable flood control considerations. Onsite Infiltration: Onsite infiltration will be utilized to the maximum extent feasible, in accordance with EC 9.6792 (see Water Quality, below). Piped stormwater conveyance systems will likely be required to accommodate overflow from infiltration systems, or provide primary conveyance in areas where infiltration is not feasible due to soil conditions, environmental concerns, or other factors. Piped conveyance systems will discharge to existing public or private storm drainage infrastructure or waterways at the one of the destination points listed below. South Millrace (Basin A / Destination Point A): Destination Point A is the Millrace located south of the railroad tracks and upstream from the Millrace control structure, and is the destination point for the Basin A. The Millrace and downstream conveyance system is a public stormwater system. The water level within the Millrace is governed by a control structure located at the west end of the site. The control structure consists of an adjustable weir gate that can be manually operated (lowered) during extreme storm events. In 2008, the City of Eugene modified the Millrace control structure to lower the water level and address localized flooding issues observed during the 2006 flood. Based on discussions with City staff, the control structure has adequately addressed |4 UO North Campus June 15, 2018 Conditional Use Permit Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Analysis Report flooding concerns. However, future modification to the control structure may be required depending on the grading and hydraulic requirements for future projects adjacent to the Millrace. The conveyance system downstream from the control structure consists of dual box culverts extending under the railroad tracks. The Millrace continues as an open channel downstream from the railroad tracks and passes through another culvert at the bike path crossing prior to discharging to the Willamette River. It is anticipated that future development within Basin A will maintain similar drainage patterns and will continue to drain to Destination Point A. Redevelopment may include new or reconfigured piped conveyance systems and new outfalls to the Millrace, and the delineation of Basin A may change over time. However, the existing piped conveyance systems and outfalls will remain intact to some degree. There are no known capacity issues with the public drainage system for Destination Point A, but redevelopment projects within Basin A will need to assess capacity issues within the existing private storm drain system on a project-by-project basis. New outfalls to the Millrace may be subject to additional stormwater management requirements under the Endangered Species Act. Refer to Destination Point D for further discussion. Riverfront Pump Station (Basin B / Destination Point B): Destination Point B is Riverfront Pump Station, and is the destination point for the Basin B. The public storm drain systems within Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive are expected to have adequate capacity and depth to fully accommodate redevelopment within Basin B on the south side of the railroad tracks. The public storm drain system extending north of the railroad tracks is expected to accommodate future development within the existing limits of Basin B north of the railroad tracks, and may be capable of serving a larger basin area east and west of the existing limits of Basin B. Future projects north of the railroad tracks will need to assess pump station limitations with City staff if the limits of Basin B are expanded with redevelopment. It should be noted that the Riverfront Parkway pump station and the surrounding land surface is within a depression. This area is below the base flood elevation at the adjacent Willamette River and below the water surface elevation of the Millrace. Drainage for this area relies entirely on the pumping systems and there is no overland conveyance route for floodwater to escape. Because of this, special care should be taken when extending the Riverfront Parkway storm drain system to the area north of the railroad tracks, to ensure that flood risks are considered. Grading modifications north of the railroad tracks should be designed with similar precautions. North Athletic Field Basin (Basin C / Destination Point C): private piped outfall to the Willamette River located just west of Autzen footbridge and is the destination point for Basin C. Redevelopment projects within the Riverfront area may utilize the existing piped conveyance system upstream from Destination Point C. Depending on stormwater management strategies, it may be possible to expand the contributing basin area for Destination Point C, however, this system is relatively shallow and may not be suitable for extension significantly beyond the existing basin area. North Millrace / Willamette Basin (Basin D / Destination Point D): Proposed development within the area north of the railroad tracks (Riverfront area) will utilize onsite infiltration and will maintain sheet flow drainage patterns to the Millrace and Willamette River where practical. Where onsite infiltration and sheet flow are not practical, piped conveyance will be required. It may be possible to extend piped conveyance systems from Destination Points B, C, and E, but those systems |5 UO North Campus June 15, 2018 Conditional Use Permit Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Analysis Report may not be capable of serving the entire Riverfront Area. New outfalls to the Millrace and Willamette River may be required. Possible outfall locations are shown on Drawing C01. New outfalls may be subject to the US Army Corps (COE) / Oregon DSL permitting process. Outfalls permitted under the COE/DSL process are expected to be subject to the 2014 National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) document NWR-2013-10411, Standard Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) for Stormwater, Transportation or Utilities. These standards involve more rigorous treatment, flow control, and LID requirements for new development contributing to the outfall. Exemptions to the NMFS flow control standards may apply for outfalls discharging directly to the Willamette River. Hilyard Street Outfall (Basin E / Destination Point E): The City has developed a concept plan for a future roundabout at the location of the existing cul-de-sac at the north terminus of Hilyard Street. The roundabout will provide access to the EWEB Riverfront property and possible access to the western edge of the UO Riverfront property. Public storm drain infrastructure may be reconstructed and extended as part of that project and may serve as a destination point for stormwater runoff from UO Riverfront property within this area. The existing outfall and public system is relatively shallow, so future extensions may not be feasible unless the public system is reconstructed at a greater depth. Stormwater Water Quality (EC 9.6792): Stormwater runoff from new or redeveloped impervious surfaces must be treated for water quality. Treatment methods must be selected in the following order: Priority 1: Onsite Infiltration using Vegetated / Low Impact Development (LID) Methods. Priority 2: Onsite Filtration using Vegetated / Low Impact Development (LID) Methods. Priority 3: Onsite Mechanical Treatment with Payment of 50% LID Fee. Priority 4: No Onsite Treatment with Payment of 100% LID Fee (for Offsite Mitigation) Onsite infiltration must be utilized where feasible. Lower priority methods may be utilized if required due to site constraints, poor infiltration rates, shallow groundwater, steep topography, or space constraints. Treatment methods and onsite infiltration feasibility will be evaluated on a project-by- project basis, and will depend on the findings of the geotechnical investigations. Treatment methods will conform to the standards of the SWMM. Notable stormwater treatment exemptions and alternatives are summarized below: Treatment of existing equivalent onsite areas may be utilized in lieu of treatment for new development. City standards do not require stormwater treatment for synthetic turf fields unless the athletic fields incorporate an impervious surface into the field cross section. However, redevelopment projects may voluntarily elect to include stormwater treatment through infiltration or other means. Treatment is not required for new or replaced impervious surfaces less than 1,000 square feet, constructed within a 12-month period. Stormwater treatment is not required for projects that replace existing impervious surface for the purpose of maintenance or repair of the continuance of the current function, provided that less than 50% of the storm drainage system is replaced. |6 UO North Campus June 15, 2018 Conditional Use Permit Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Analysis Report Stormwater Flow Control (EC 9.6793): Flow control standards apply when stormwater is discharged to a headwater stream or a pipe that discharges to a head These conditions are not present for this project and flow control is not required. See the Stormwater Destination / Flood Control section for further discussion about possible detention/retention. Stormwater Oil Control (EC 9.6794): In the context of this site, oil control standards apply to projects that will result in more than 100 vehicles per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area or more than 100 off-street parking spaces. Stormwater Source Control and Environmental Issues (EC 9.6795): Stormwater source control standards include prescriptive design criteria for activities that present a risk of point source pollution, such as loading areas, trash collection areas, storage of liquid materials, and storage of bulk materials. These standards will apply to future development and redevelopment projects within the site. The source control standards also apply to land with suspected or known contamination. There have been historic environmental issues throughout the study area, including releases of laboratory wastes, petroleum hydrocarbons, and coal gas tar. Investigation and remediation activity has occurred since the time of the 1990 Environmental Site Assessment. DEQ records indicate the site Future development projects will include environmental review to ensure the requirements of SWMM Section 3.8 are addressed. If onsite stormwater management (infiltration) systems are pursued with future development, DEQ and an environmental professional should be consulted to ensure stormwater infiltration does not have adverse environmental impacts. Stormwater Operations and Maintenance: Stormwater facilities will be privately operated and maintained. An Operations and Maintenance Plan will be included with development review submittals for future projects. SANITARY SEWER Existing gravity-fed public and private sanitary sewer infrastructure is available within the majority of the site south of the railroad tracks and within the eastern portion of the site north of the railroad tracks (Riverfront area). Gravity-fed sanitary sewer systems are not readily available within the western side of the Riverfront area, but pumped systems are possible. Existing and possible future destination points are shown on Drawing C02 and summarized below: Riverfront Pump Station System (Destination A): Riverfront pump station is a public pump station serving the eastern half of the site south of the railroad tracks. The pump station is located at the intersection of Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive. The pump station discharges e main extending to the south through Riverfront Parkway, -fed main in Franklin Boulevard. Sanitary drainage is public sanitary sewer mains, extending east and west within end of Millrace Drive, and then north under the pedestrian underpass under the railroad tracks. The mains within Millrace Drive are available to serve adjacent future development to the north and south of Millrace Drive and is capable of being extended farther to the west as a private |7 UO North Campus June 15, 2018 Conditional Use Permit Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Analysis Report expected to be capable of serving the majority of the Riverfront area east of the Millrace. Capacity of the public mains and pump station will need to be confirmed with future development. UO Pump Station (Destination B): A private pump station located just east of Onyx and just north of the Millrace currently serves the Central Power Station and Planning/Facilities Management areas of the site. This system may be extended to the west for future development west of the Central Power station, but due to topography and limited system depth, additional pumping systems may be required. With future development, the eastern portion the current pump station drainage area (near the Zebrafish facility) may be modified to drain to the Riverfront Pump Station system. Private mainlines upstream from the pump station will be relocated and/or extended to accommodate future buildings and infrastructure. th East 8 Avenue System (Destination C): This th sewer line within East 8 Avenue, which currently terminates the th intersection of Hilyard and East 8 th public sewer near the intersection of Hilyard and East 8 ground surface and is not likely deep enough to provide gravity-fed drainage for the proposed building sites. However, extending th public gravity-fed line across the railroad tracks to the proposed roundabout may provide a destination point for future pumped sanitary sewer systems within the westernmost building sites in the Riverfront area. Broadway / Franklin System (Destination D): This alternative destination point explores extension of that runs west within Broadway and Franklin. Two potential connection points and boring locations are shown in Drawing C02. This alternative would involve easements and railroad crossings, would likely be explored only if other alternatives are not available. WATER SUPPLY Public and private water mains are available within the site south of the railroad tracks, as shown on Drawing C03. Redevelopment south of the railroad tracks will include relocation and/or extension of existing private water mains and services to accommodate the proposed buildings and infrastructure Public water mains are available within close proximity to the proposed development sites at the west and east ends of the Riverfront area. Possible future connection points are shown on Figure 4 and summarized below: Riverfront Parkway System (Connection A): An existing dead-ic (EWEB) main extends to a point near the south end of the Autzen footbridge. The dead-end main connects nt Parkway and Millrace Drive. Alder / Hilyard System (Connection B)ic (EWEB) main extending from Alder to the old EWEB steam plant. This line crosses the railroad tracks north and west of the Alder Street alignment. At the north side of the tracks, the main extends into, or very close to UO property before extending to the west within the railroad right-of-way. Potential future connections could occur at the north side of the railroad crossing or the Hilyard Street right-of- way if access near the railroad crossing is problematic. |8 UO North Campus June 15, 2018 Conditional Use Permit Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Analysis Report New public and private fire hydrants will be required with redevelopment throughout the site. New hydrant locations will conform to the Oregon Fire Code. Based on past pressure/flow test data in the area, the static pressure within the public system is expected to range between 68-72 psi, depending on the time of day. Both the Riverfront Parkway th and East 8 Avenue systems are expected to produce adequate fire flows. However, flow test information should be obtained to confirm available pressures and flows. Looped systems may be preferred to improve flows and circulation. |9 MEMORANDUM June 22, 2018 Project #: 21562 Date: Colin McArthur, AICP To: Zachary Bugg, PhD, Diego Arguea, PE, and Phill Worth From: University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project: Transportation Assessment Subject: The University of Oregon proposes to develop up to 1,369,500 square feet of new university uses and research related to the university on the North Campus, an area generally bounded by Franklin Boulevard to the south and the Willamette River to the north. This document includes a transportation assessment of the proposed North Campus, including potential transportation-related impacts to the existing transportation system. This assessment has been prepared to support the accompanying conditional use permit for the North Campus. While a formal traffic impact analysis is not required for conditional use ) prepared to address the safety and operations of the existing ability to accommodate all modes (City Code 9.3725 and Eugene Planning Letter, March 28, 2018 Attachment A). The assumptions and methodology contained in this document are based upon previous studies for University of Oregon, including the proposed Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, and discussions with City of Eugene staff. No specific long-term timeframe has been established for buildout of the North Campus, so this assessment assumes a horizon year of 2035, which is concurrent with the Figure 1 displays a map of the site vicinity, including identified potential study intersections, and Figure 2 shows the proposed Master Site Plan for the North Campus Conditional Use Permit application. SCOPE OF THE REPORT This assessment estimates the transportation-related impacts associated with the proposed North Campus. The study intersections and scope of this assessment were identified after a scoping process with City staff. The assessment included herein is the result of this scoping process and represents the recommended trip generation, growth assumptions, study intersections and agreed-upon methodology for operational assessments. The following intersections are considered as part of this transportation H:\\21\\21562 - U of O Riverfront Master Plan\\dwgs\\figs\\21562_TIA.dwg Jun 13, 2018 - 2:54pm - acary Layout Tab: FIG 2_Site Plan Figure Proposed Site Plan 2 Eugene, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 4 assessment, based on the potential impact of 50 or more net new trips during a weekday AM or PM peak hour. Millrace Drive/Riverfront Parkway 1.Franklin Boulevard/E 11th Avenue 2.Franklin Boulevard/Onyx Street 3.Franklin Boulevard/Riverfront Parkway-Agate Street 4.Franklin Boulevard/Villard Street Per scoping discussions with City staff and consistent with previous traffic analysis conducted for the Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, the weekday PM peak hour was identified as the critical time period for this assessment. This document evaluates the following transportation issues: Existing land-use and transportation-system conditions within the site vicinity during the weekday PM peak hour; Developments and transportation improvements planned in the study area; Forecast year 2035 background traffic conditions (without the proposed North Campus) during the weekday PM peak hour, based on the Eugene Transportation System Plan; Trip generation and distribution estimates for the proposed North Campus; Forecast year 2035 (with the proposed North Campus) total traffic conditions during the weekday PM peak hour; and, On-site traffic operations and circulation. EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing conditions identify the site conditions and current operational and geometric characteristics of the roadways within the study area. These conditions will be compared with future conditions later in this report. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. (KAI) staff visited and inventoried the proposed North Campus project area and surrounding study area in October 2017. At that time, KAI collected information regarding site conditions, adjacent land uses, existing traffic operations, and transportation facilities in the study area. Site Conditions and Adjacent Land Uses The proposed North Campus is located on approximately 77 acres bounded by the Willamette River to the north and Millrace Drive to the south. The site currently includes a mix of university, research park, and recreation uses, including the university central power station and other buildings related to the operations of the university, fine art studios, the Urban Farm, university research facilities, three buildings that were developed as part of the Riverfront Research Park, surface parking lots, public bike Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 5 paths, and two recreation fields. Adjacent land uses are predominantly institutional (university) and recreational, with some commercial to the south along Franklin Boulevard. Transportation Facilities Each of the study area roadways is summarized in Table 1 (Reference 1).

The primary roadway within the study area is Franklin Boulevard, which is a major arterial that connects th the site location with downtown Eugene to the west and Interstate 5 to the east. Agate Street and 11 Avenue are both minor arterials and connect the site vicinity with other areas of Eugene. Riverfront Parkway, Millrace Drive, Onyx Street, and Villard Street are all classified as local streets. Within the study area, parking is generally regulated by UO staff and is provided at several surface lots. Metered on-street parking is available on Villard Street. U-turns are allowed at intersections along Franklin Boulevard to account for the presence of a grassy median. At the Franklin Boulevard/Onyx Street intersection, westbound left turns and U-turns are accomplished via a short jug-handle in the northeast corner of the intersection. Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Field observations and counts revealed a high level of pedestrian and bicycle activity on the study area roadways, including movements crossing and parallel to Franklin Boulevard, consistent with the surrounding University-associated land uses and generally urban environment. Each of the study area roadways has sidewalks on both sides, but there are no separate bicycle facilities other than bicycle lanes along Agate Street/Riverfront Parkway and in the eastbound direction on Franklin Boulevard between 13 th Avenue and Villard Street. Video observations at the study intersections revealed that pedestrian push buttons are activated during nearly every cycle of the weekday AM and PM peak hours at the Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 6 intersections along Franklin Boulevardthe traffic operations review accounted for this as described later in this report. The extension of Riverfront Parkway, north of Millrace Drive serves as a pedestrian and bicycle facility and prohibits vehicular activity. This multi-use pathway has a grade-separated undercrossing of the freight railroad that runs parallel with Franklin Boulevard. It also connects with the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Bike Path and other pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the North Campus area. A second grade-separated multi-use pathway undercrossing of the railroad is located approximately 420 feet to the west that connects to a pedestrian-bicycle bridge across the Millrace. The Ruth Bascom Riverfront Bike Path currently runs through the center of the proposed North Campus, connecting the north leg of the Riverfront Parkway/Millrace Drive intersection with points west along the Willamette River, and it will be maintained in North Campus development per Figure 2. Transit Facilities Regional transit service is provided via Lane Transit District via the following bus routes (Reference 2): The Emerald Express (EmX) Bus Rapid Transit service connects the site with West Eugene, Downtown Eugene, Downtown Springfield, Gateway Mall, and Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend. Weekday service is provided from approximately 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM, with headways as low as 10 minutes during most of the day. Service is more limited on weekends. Buses run within the median of Franklin Boulevard and stop on the east side of Franklin Boulevard/Agate Street. Route 91: McKenzie Bridge connects the site vicinity and Eugene with localities to the east of Eugene, including Springfield, Waterville, Leaburg, and McKenzie Bridge. Service is provided twice during the morning and afternoon commutes. Multiple transit stops are located along Franklin Boulevard near the site. Route 98: Cottage Grove connects the site vicinity and Eugene with areas south of Eugene, including Lane Community College, Creswell, and Cottage Grove. Eight buses serve the route during a typical weekday, with a span of service from approximately 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Multiple transit stops are located along Franklin Boulevard near the site. Diamond Express connects the study area with the Eugene Amtrak Station and Oakridge. Service is provided twice during the morning and afternoon commutes. Transit stops are provided in either direction of Franklin Boulevard adjacent to the site. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 8 Traffic Volumes and Peak Hour Operations Manual turning movement counts were obtained for the study intersections in May 2017 while classes were in regular session. Counts were obtained on a mid-weekday from 2:30 to 6:30 PM, and the system- wide PM peak hour was found to occur between 4:55 PM and 5:55 PM. Figure 4 provides a summary of the year 2017 turning-movement counts for the weekday PM peak hour. Attachment Bcontains the traffic count worksheets used in this study. Current Levels of Service All level-of-service analyses described in this report were performed in Synchro 9 in accordance with the procedures stated in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (Reference 3). All intersection level-of-service evaluations used the peak 60-minute flow rate during the weekday PM peak hour. The transportation system will likely operate under conditions better than those described in this report during time periods outside the PM peak hour. Figure 4 summarizes the level-of-service assessment for the study intersections under the weekday PM peak hour existing traffic conditions. The City of Eugene defines level-of- acceptable performance at signalized intersections. At unsignalized intersections, the critical movement must operate at LOS D or better. As the figure shows, each of the study intersections currently operates at an acceptable level of service during the weekday PM peak hour. Cincludes the level-of-service worksheets under existing traffic conditions. Traffic Safety Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) provided the latest five years of reported crash data at the study intersections 1, which includes the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015. Table 2 summarizes the reported crash data at the study intersections, including the crash severity and crash type of each crash. 1 With the transition of Franklin Boulevard from State to City jurisdiction, ODOT no longer maintains a high-crash list for any of the study intersections within the study area.

The assessment includes traffic attributed to planned developments within the study area and general growth in the region but does not include traffic associated with the North Campus. General Background Growth The 2035 City of Eugene Transportation System Plan (TSP) was reviewed to estimate future volumes along Franklin Boulevard within the study area (Reference 4). The TSP-recommended improvements are based on estimated turning movement volumes at two study intersections: Franklin Boulevard/11 th 2 Avenue and Franklin Boulevard/Agate Street/Riverfront Parkway. The Transportation Impact Analysis report for the recently approved Knight Campus development also was reviewed and incorporated into the 2035 background conditions. This approach provides a reasonable worst-case assessment, given that the TSP anticipated growth on the UO campus, as well as in the immediate vicinity. Planned Developments and Transportation Improvements The Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact will replace several existing university-related and other land uses north of Franklin Boulevard between Onyx Street and Riverfront Parkway, with full build- 2 The final adopted TSP does not include forecast volumes in the primary document. Rather, the volumes applied to this analysis are based on technical memoranda and analysis included in the TSP Technical Appendix, Volume 2. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 11 out expected by 2020. Both automobile and non-automobile trips associated with the Knight Campus were included in the 2035 background traffic assessment as in process trips. Levels of Service Figure 5 displays the year 2035 background traffic volumes at the study intersections, as well as the corresponding traffic levels of service. As shown, each of the study intersections is forecast to continue operating at acceptable levels of service during the weekday PM peak hour.

Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 13 NORTH CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT PLAN The North Campus will be developed on an approximately 77-acre site. Existing development includes a mix of university, research park, and recreation uses, including the university central power station and other buildings related to the operations of the university, fine art studios, the Urban Farm, university research facilities, three buildings that were developed as part of the Riverfront Research Park, surface parking lots, public bike paths, and two recreation fields. The proposed development will displace approximately 240,604 square feet of existing university uses and construct up to 1,369,500 square feet of new university uses, including additional university research uses and research related to the university. This study assumes that all passenger car access to the site is expected to occur via proposed parking facilities to be located at the Riverfront Parkway/Millrace Drive intersection. UO anticipates providing approximately 1,100 vehicle parking stalls in this vicinity, including the 400+ space parking garage to be built as a part of the Knight Campus development, which is expected to be completed by 2020. Trip Generation Trip generation estimates for the proposed North Campus were developed based on trip rates included th in Trip Generation, 10 Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE, Reference 5). Two ITE trip generation land uses were considered for the site: University/College (land use code 550) and Research and Development Center (land use code 760). The University/College code estimates trip generation based upon the number of students and employees anticipated to attend or work at a University/College facility, while the Research and Development Center code estimates trips based upon the building area (in square feet). While the Research and Development Center land use was used to estimate the trip generation associated with the recently-approved Knight Campus, the University of Oregon no longer emphasizes research and development activities as the primary use for the North Campus but foresees it as one of many activities that will occur. The 2018 North Campus Master Site Plan anticipates a similar range of uses to those that already exist on the campus. As such, the University Land Student/Faculty Ratio Per scoping discussions, the North Campus is forecast to accommodate a student population increase of 3,209 students. Table 3 displays the estimated site-generated trips associated with this student population increasethis represents a combination of student and faculty trips. Based on data provided by University staff, the North Campus is expected to maintain the current approximate proportions of 82 percent students and 18 percent faculty/staff/employeesthis is reflected in Table 3. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 14 Mode Split A recent University mode split survey indicated approximately 84 percent of students and 42 percent of staff commute to campus by non-automobile modes. Discussion of additional pedestrian and bicycle demand on the transportation system is provided later in this document.

Trip Distribution and Assignment Trips associated with the proposed North Campus were distributed as follows: 25 percent to the north along Coburg Road, 25 percent to the west along Broadway, 5 percent to the south along Patterson Street, 15 percent to the south along Agate Street, 5 percent to the south along Villard Street, and 25 percent to the east along Franklin Boulevard. This trip distribution pattern was based upon previous University of Oregon studies and knowledge of surrounding demographics and regional land uses. It has been assumed that all automobile trips will access the North Campus via the proposed parking garage to be located at the northeast corner of the Riverfront Parkway/Millrace Drive intersection. This is a reasonable worst-case assumption, as it places all North Campus parking demand in one location. Figure 6 displays the assignment of trips to the study intersections. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 16 PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRIPS Pedestrian and bicycle access to the North Campus will occur at the following locations: Via the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Bike Path and a parallel sidewalk, which is a northward extension of Riverfront Parkway. This connection also serves as the main pedestrian route to the parking garage at the northeast corner of Riverfront Parkway/Millrace Drive. Via a second railroad underpass connecting to existing university buildings, a bridge across the Millrace and to facilities on Onyx Street. To the west via the Ruth Bascom Riverfront Bike Path, which connects to Hillyard Street toward Downtown Eugene. To the north via the Frohnmayer Bridge over the Willamette River, which connects to Day Island and the sports complex. Table 4 displays the estimated peak hour pedestrian and bicycle demand associated with the North Campus. Table 4. Peak Hour Pedestrian and Bicycle Trips Weekday PM Peak Hour Mode Total In Out Pedestrian 301 97 204 Bicycle 92 29 63 Students and UO employees are expected to travel between areas of campus primarily by walking or biking. Connections include signalized crossings of Franklin Boulevard at Villard, Agate-Riverfront and Onyx. An enclosed pedestrian bridge over Franklin Boulevard is anticipated with construction of the Knight Campus buildings, providing an option for safe, attractive and all-weather crossing directly between both areas of campus. Intersections along Franklin Boulevard at Onyx Street, Riverfront Parkway and Villard are signalized and have pedestrian crossings (with median refuges), ramps, and signal heads. In general, these pedestrian and bicycle crossing facilities are adequate to accommodate the increased demand associated with buildout of the North Campus. Kittelson & Associates, Inc.

The site-generated trips shown in Figure 6 were added to the year 2035 background traffic volumes shown in Figure 5 to calculate the year 2035 total traffic volumes shown in Figure 7. Levels of Service The weekday PM peak hour turning movement volumes shown in Figure 7 were used to conduct an operational assessment at each study intersection to determine the year 2035 total traffic levels of service.

As shown in Figure 7, each of the study intersections is forecast to continue operating at an acceptable level of service during the weekday PM peak hour. F total traffic level of service worksheets. PARKING AND CIRCULATION IMPACTS For this assessment, all automobile trips associated with the North Campus (summarized in Table 3 and illustrated in Figure 6) have been assumed to be assigned to proposed parking facilities located near the intersection of Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive. UO intends to construct approximately 402-spaces in a parking structure near this intersection with the Knight Campus development and to complete that construction in 2020. In compliance with City code, UO anticipates constructing additional vehicle parking capacity to accommodate estimated peak demands from the North Campus, in areas served by Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive and possibly in other long-term future locations not yet identified. Based on recent analysis, the parking demand for the Knight Campus development was estimated to be approximately 148 occupied stalls. Parking demand for the North Campus is based on the daily trip generation estimate of 1,044 daily trips. Employees are estimated to make 462 of these weekday trips, which would produce a maximum peak parking demand of 231 vehicles (462 trips divided by two trips per parked vehicle). Students, guests and visitors are expected to make the remaining 582 weekday trips. Unlike employees, most student, guest and visitor trips are parked for less than a full day. A high assumption would be that these trips are parked approximately 4 hours (or half a day), and that a high percentage (75%) occur during the same four-hour period (say between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM). This results in a peak parking demand by students, guests and visitors of approximately 220 spaces sometime during the middle of the typical weekday when classes are in session. The resulting total parking demand estimate of the Knight Campus and the North Campus is approximately 600 parked vehicles during the peak hour of parking demand. Therefore, additional vehicle parking capacity, beyond the garage to be constructed with the Knight Campus, is likely to be needed to address the potential parking demand resulting from buildout of the North Campus. As previously stated, UO intends to meet this demand by complying with City code and providing additional parking within the study area of this assessment. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 19 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The results of this transportation assessment indicate the proposed North Campus can be completed while maintaining acceptable levels of service and traffic operations for all modes on the surrounding transportation system. The assessment supports the following findings: Existing Traffic Conditions Each of the study intersections currently operates at an acceptable level of service during the weekday PM peak hour. A review of historical crash data did not reveal any patterns or trends in the site vicinity that would require mitigation associated with the transportation impacts of the North Campus. Year 2035 Background Traffic Conditions Turning movement volumes along Franklin Boulevard were obtained from the Eugene TSP. Trips associated with the approved Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, to be located just south of the proposed North Campus, were included as in process traffic. No funded transportation improvements were identified within the study area. Each of the study intersections is forecast to continue operating at an acceptable level of service during the weekday PM peak hour for all modes. Proposed Development Plan The proposed North Campus includes up to 1,369,500 square feet of new university uses and research related to the university and is expected to accommodate up to 3,209 new students. The proposed North Campus is expected to generate approximately 1,044 net new weekday daily automobile trips, of which 120 will occur during the PM peak hour (38 in, 82 out). Approximately 84 percent of new student trips and approximately 42 percent of new staff trips are non-automobile, per the results of a University travel behavior survey. Year 2035 Total Traffic Conditions Each of the study intersections is forecast to continue operating at an acceptable level of service during the weekday PM peak hour for all modes. Pedestrian and Bicycle Traffic The proposed North Campus is expected to generate approximately 301 pedestrian trips in the weekday PM peak hour. The proposed North Campus is expected to generate approximately 92 bicycle trips in the weekday PM peak hour. Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 June 15, 2018 Page 20 Pedestrians and bicyclists will access the North Campus from four access points. the increased demand associated with the proposed North Campus. Parking and Circulation Impacts All automobile trips associated with the North Campus are assumed to be assigned to proposed parking facilities near the Riverfront Parkway/Millrace Drive intersection. Peak parking demand estimated for the Knight Campus and buildout of the North Campus is expected to be accommodated with existing and planned parking facilities in the North Campus area and in accordance with City code.
