F E E I V E D 01-02-2020 ZVR xx-x Conte Additional application material #2 City of Eugene This material establishes that the City's intent and implementation of the "Mixed Use Areas) ovelr q on IslOn the Metro Plan's Plan Diagram does not in any way provide a legal basis to permit the "Drug Treatment Center - Non-residential" use on the subject site. The subject site, Tax Map / Lot 17-03-31-3100100, is designated as "Medium Density Residential" ('"MDR") with a "Mixed Use Areas" overlay on the Metro Plan's Plan Diagram. The Metro Plan describes "Mixed Used" as follows: "Mixed LISPS This category represents areas where more than one use might be appropriate, usually as determined by refinement plans on a local level. (For example, the Whiteaker Refinement Plan includes several areas where a mix of compatible uses, based in part on existing development, are designated.) in the absence of a refinement plan, the underlying plan designation shall determine the predominant land use. The Wes tside Neighborhood Plan labels the area as "2. Eastern Residential/Mixed Use Area." On November 28, 1977, the City implemented the Metro Plan designation by adopting and applying the "Downtown Westside Mixed Use District" to the area "BTN [Between] 7TH AVE AND 13TH AVE, AND BTN [Between] LINCOLN ST AND WASHINGTON ST." (See City File Z-76-0038.) Eugene Code Table 9.1045 Reclassification of Zones states that "Effective August 1, 2011," the "Downtown Westside Mixed Use District" was "reclassified" as "S-DW Downtown Westside Special Area Zone." The S-DW Downtown Westside Special Area Zone is defined at EC 9.32010 et seq. The purpose is explicit 9.3200 Purpose of S-DW Downtown Westside Special Area Zone. The special area zone applied to the Downtown Westside area is intended to achieve the following objectives: (1) Maintenance of the primary residential use and character of the area through rehabilitation of existing residential structures and additional high-density residential development as the primary land use in the area. (2) Provision for existing office and small commercial uses as well as some limited additional office and small commercial development in the area, provided such uses are secondary to the primary residential land use in the area. (3) Retention of major landscape features that enhance the character of the area. Thus, the implementation of the "Mixed Use Area" established "residential" as the "primary" use, consistent with the MDR designation. In addition, The implementation provided an explicit description of the commercial uses that were intended to "mix" with residential use in two categories: + Existine office and small commercial uses + Limited additional office and small commercial development in the area, provided sUch uses are secondary to the primary residential land use in the area. Although the intent is clear in the "Purpose" section, fortunately the code also enumerates the permitted'"commercial" uses, including the following category in Table 9.3215 S-DW Downtown Westside Special Area Zone Development Standards:
