Final Planning Commission Approval of ODOT Detour Bridge Conditions - SHR2003-00115 Willamette Greenway Overlay District/Discretionary Use ODOT Compliance with Planning Commission Conditions of Approval for Greenway Discretionary Use for Detour Bridge. The first hearing established the Willamette River Greenway Setback line within the ODOT I-5 right of way. The second hearing was a Discretionary Use request to allow the “intensification” of a use in the Greenway. The detour bridge is considered an intensification of the existing I-5 bridge, but is not considered to be a water-related or water-dependent use. The Planning Commission’s decision to allow the bridge, with conditions, was dependent upon the outcome of a third public hearing, an exception to Goal 15. The Goal exception must be approved by the joint elected officials of Springfield, Eugene and Lane County and adopted into the Metro Plan as a text amendment (OAR 660-004-0022(5)). This approval has not yet occurred as of this writing, but is scheduled for Springfield Council action on July 14, 2003, for Eugene Council action on July 14, 2003, and for Lane County Board action July 15, 2003.

LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING – a. Natural Resources Inventory: Continuation from May 6, 2003 – At the Planning Commission hearing on the Natural Resource Inventory held April 15th, several property owners and interested parties testified for and against the proposed list of resource sites. A major focus of the testimony and discussion was on the issue of processing the proposed Inventory using the “safe harbor” compared to the “standard process,” described in Oar 660-23. The meeting location is wheelchair-accessible. For the hearing-impaired, an interpreter can be provided with 48 hours notice prior to the meeting. For meetings in the Council Meeting Room, a “Personal PA Receiver” for the hearing-impaired is available. To arrange for these services, phone 726-2700. PC Agenda – Karen LaFleur Page 3 7/15/2003 At a second meeting held on May 6th, the Commission discussed the standard and safe harbor approaches to completing the Goal 5 planning process, as well as the “significance criteria” used for determining which sites should be listed on the Inventory. The Commission expressed a variety of views but did not come to a consensus on a recommendation to the Council. Commissioner Shaver offered a proposal that revised the list of significance criteria, but no agreement was reached on this approach. Staff offered to review the issues raised and prepare an option that would best integrate the ideas and concerns expressed by the Commission. Discussion of options will continue.
