4-01-6h., qwPublic Works Parks & Open Space MEMO January 28, 2020 To: Jeff Gepper, Assistant Land Use Planner City of Eugene Planning Division From: Emily Proudfoot, Principal Landscape Architect Project Manager, Downtown Riverfront Park City of Eugene Parks and Open Space Division RE: Riverfront Ordinance Code Update Summary As part of the Riverfront Ordinance adopted last July, the Council approved a "Standards Review" application for a portion of the Riverfront Park. Included in the approved application was an art pavilion at the end of 5th Avenue. You may recall that the artist designed the pavilion's roof to reflect the Willamette River and to provide shade for park users viewing the River. The pavilion was designed with consideration of the community input received regarding public art in the new Riverfront Park. In moving forward with park development, staff noted that the code provisions for the Downtown Riverfront zone do not make a clear exception for the placement of a park structure like the art pavilion within a "view corridor." The Council's approval of the park plans indicates its intention to allow the art pavilion within the 5th Avenue view corridor. Therefore, staff are proposing an amendment to the Downtown Riverfront code to clarify that intent, which is detailed in the attached proposed ordinance. The City Council will be asked to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation on such an ordinance at a meeting scheduled in April. Please see the attached proposed ordinance under consideration as well as exhibits and illustrations relevant to this code amendment. Thank you.
