There was a discussion regarding the zoning versus the unit build out. Mr.
Hyde explained the Gateway Refinement Plan has a policy stating the zoning
density could be changed during the Metropolitan Plan update or during periodic
review.
Councilor Burge asked about the Department of Land Conservation and Development
(DLCD) grant that the city obtained to complete the CDP. Mr. Hyde replied the
city received $25,000 from DLCD with a $16,000 match by the city. Councilor
Burge discussed the amount of money used in excess of the match amount by the
city.
There was a discussion regarding the positive attributes of the CDP,
particularly the configuration for future development and expansion.
Commissioner Cornacchia discussed the large perimeter lots along the river. He
stated the vision for growth and future development was good, but commented the
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning should only be built out after residential
development is complete.
Mr. Stastny focused the group on the proposed CDP adoption diagram. He showed
the final transportation system plan and how it could accommodate 10 to 20 unit
density throughout the entire CDP area.
.
Commissioner Cornacchia stated he is agreeable to the final design except for
the NC portion. Councilor Burge agreed. Mr. Hyde explained that the NC zoned
property on the CDP was not necessarily where it would be developed and that it
was only staff's recommended location.
Councilor Walters suggested the NC zoned property not be located on Pioneer
Parkway, due to the transportation "trigger" mechanism. Mr. Stastny explained
the acreage where NC could be located, per the street design system.
Commissioner Rust inquired about the riparian and recreational areas of the
CDP. Mr. Stastny explained the potential parks, riparian areas and wetlands
areas.
Councilor Shaver asked about provisions for the Cloverleaf development and
intersections. Commissioner Cornacchia stated he supported Cloverleaf's
collectors, but will fight to keep the integrity of certain quality
neighborhoods. He confirmed he is very pleased with the CDP as a whole, and
not just the transportation design. He stated he is prepared to begin the
inter-governmental agreement process now.
By consensus, the Lane County Board of Commissioners approved the street system
design of the McKenzie-Gateway Conceptual Development Plan. No housing or
conceptual options were approved.
Councilors Burge and Shaver agreed the street system design yas acceptable and
commented on positive comments they have received from neighborhood residents.

complete the street design system, and clarified the budget amounts incurred
