Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including, but not limited to, water and electricity; sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets and traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works Director ora atflityprovider shall determine capacity issues. Response: Public and private facilities are provided as follows: Storm: There are two public storm mains adjacent to the property, one in Corporate Way and the other in an easement on the east side of the site. This easement will be maintained with the development. There is also no over -land flow from adjacent properties that would be cut off by this development. Sanitary: Wastewater service is available to the site via International Way by a 12 -inch pipe. Water: The site receives water service via a 12 -inch line in International Way with an 8 -inch stub to the property. Electric: Electric infrastructure is adjacent to the site along International Way. Streets: International Way is a major collector; it has an existing right-of-way width of 72 feet and a curb -to -curb width of 48 feet. Corporate Way is a local street; it has an existing right-of-way of 50 feet and a curb -to -curb width of 24 feet. Fire: There are several existing Fre hydrants in the vicinity —two on the south side of International Way and one on the east side of Corporate Way, directly abutting the subject property. This nearest hydrant, on Corporate Way, is within the 600 -foot distance limit. Knox boxes will be installed at perimeter gates for emergency fire access. Given this, this criterion (SDC 5.17-125.B) is met. C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations. Response: Applicable public and private design and construction standards can be found in SDC Chapter 3 -Land Use Districts and in SDC Chapter 4 -Development Standards. The components of these two chapters which are applicable to the proposed development, and proposed compliance with said components, is as follows. SDC Chapter 3 -Land Use Districts SDC Chapter 3 -Land Use Districts includes all Base Zone Districts, Overlay Zone Districts and Plan Districts. Within those, the chapter identifies the land uses that are permitted within each district, basic development standards, and use -specific design standards applicable to certain zones. Within Chapter 3, Section 3.2-400 Industrial Zoning Districts, 3.3.200 Drinking Water Protection Overlay District, and 3.3.400 Floodplain Overlay District apply. 3.2-400 Industrial Zoning Districts With the property's Campus Industrial zoning, section 3.2-400 applies. Applicable components of SDC 3.4-400 can be found in the specific sections 3.2-415 Schedule of Use Categories 3_2 - The Satre Group • 375 West 0 Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 • w.wi.satnnrouo.com The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints Page 7 of 21 W Ilamette Valley Oregon Temple Site Plan Revlew Map 17-03-15-00, Lots 3200, 3300, 3400, and 3500 Apri129 2022 420 Base Zone Development Standards, and 3.2-445 Campus Industrial Design Standards. Responses in compliance with those sections are as follows. 3.2-415 Schedule of Use Categories The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints submitted a Formal Interpretation (Case No. 811- 21-000308-TYP2) to determine if a religious temple is an allowed use in the Campus Industrial district. A temple is a principal center for religious education and instruction, special activities and ceremonies, and regional administrative offices of the church. The temple does not cater to walk- in customers and the site is proposed to have secured, gated access. The temple does not operate as a church or house of worship in that weekly sermons and large congregational gatherings are not held at the site. The city determined that "educational facilities in business parks" and "corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and administrative offices" are listed uses in the Campus Industrial District. Administrative offices are allowed when they are part of a business park in accordance with SDC 3.2-415, Footnote 4. See table below. Use Categoryluses CI District Pri Uses 3) Corporate headquarters regional headquarters, and administrative offices 4 Permitted Educational facilities in business parks, including, but not limited to, professional, vocational and business schools; and job training and vocational rehabilitation services Permitted (4) Corporate headquarters, regional headquarters, and administrative offices may be permitted as part of a large-scale light -manufacturing use or located wfthin a business park. Corporate and regional headquarters may also stand alone. The acreage comprising stand alone corporate or regional headquarters site shall be applied to the 40 percent gross acre standard for business parks specified in Note (2), above. Corporate and regional headquarters shall have at least 20 or more employees at the time of occupancy. Response: Per the Staff Decision from the formal interpretation, staff found that the temple met the schedule of use categories: Regional Headquarters and Administrative Offices: • The subject site is four vacant lots of the Liberty Professional Center subdivision. The subdivision was platted and recorded in 2007 as a planned business park development. A MasterPlan for the business park was approved in 2007 and expired in 2014 (Case LRP2007-00020). Therefore, the site qualifies for the listed uses of administrative offices and educational facilities in business parks in accordance with SDC 3.2-415, Footnote 4. • In accordance with SDC 3.2-415, "regional headquarters" and "administrative offices" are listed as Permitted uses in the CI district. These facilities have characteristics that are similar to a religious temple in that they. are designed and intended to accommodate a core group of employees engaged in specific administrative, management or operational activities, serve as the principal facility within a sizable geographic area, have operational hours that largely coincide with the "business day, do not typically serve walk-in customers, may have secure access exclusively for members of employees, and often provide rooms for offices, meetings, training, and specialized activities. Educational Facilities in Business Parks: • In accordance with SDC -415, "educational facilities in business parks" are listed as a Permitted Use in the Cl district. These facilities have characteristics that are similar to a religious temple in that they. operate primarily during daytimelweekday business hours which may extend into the evening, provide a specialized curriculum and training for students or enrollees; do not typically serve walk-in customers, may have secure access exclusively for The Satre Group - 375 West 4° Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 - (541) 686-0540 - w satraarouaddm The Church of Jesus Christ of LattenDay Saints Willamette Valley Oregon Temple Lots 3200, 3300, 3400, and 3500 Page 8 of 21 employees or studentsrenrollees, and often provide rooms for offices, meetings, training, study, and specialized activities. 3.2-420 Public and Private Development Standards Campus Industrial Base Zone Development Standards are as follows Minimum Lotilaarcel Size: 10,000 square feet Minimum Frontage: 75 feet Front Yard, Street Side Yard Setback: 20/30 feet building setback, and 5 feet parking, driveway, and outdoor storage. Interior Yard, Rear Yard Setback: 20 feet building separation from other buildings within the Cl District, and 5 feet parking, driveway, and outdoor storage. Maximum Height (6): 45 feet (6) Height Exceptions. Incidental equipment may exceed the height standards. Response: The Willamette Valley Oregon Temple plans show the top of the parapet of the main body of the temple at 29'-2", with the top of the mechanical parapet at 37'-3". The top of the finial of the steel spire is 125'. The spire is an ornamental element. At the Development Issues Meeting (Case 611 -21 -000267 -PRE), staff found that the building height is considered "incidental equipment" in compliance with SDC 3.2-420(6) which allows height exceptions to the 45' maximum in Campus Industrial. Therefore, all the base zone development standards are met. See the Site Plan. 3.2-425 Cl District -Operational Performance Standards The operational performance standards listed below apply to all uses permitted within the Cl District.
