The following GRP Chapters, policies and implementation strategies
apply to the GRMU Plan District:
A.1.a.
Designate and zone land that meets the fundamental characteristics
of the Mixed Use and Nodal Development Area designations, as defined
in the Metro Plan, and multi-modal mixed-use areas (MMA), as defined
in OAR 660-012-0060.
A.1.a.1.
Maintain and expand the existing nodal designation boundary
to include land on both sides of Franklin Boulevard from the I-5 Bridges
to the Springfield Bridges, and on both sides of McVay Highway between
the Springfield Bridges and an area just south of the railroad trestle,
as depicted in Figure 2.
A.1.a.2.
Designate and zone land north of Franklin Boulevard in between
the northern extension of Henderson Avenue and the northern extension
of McVay Highway as Residential Mixed-Use, as depicted in Figure 2.
A.1.a.3.
Designate and zone land north of Franklin Boulevard in between
the northern extension of McVay Highway and the Springfield Bridges
as Commercial Mixed-Use, as well as Assessor's Maps and Tax Lots 18-03-03-11-01401,
17-03-34-44-03300, and 17-03-34-44-00301, as depicted in Figure 2.
A.1.a.4.
Designate and zone land on both sides of McVay Highway from
the Springfield Bridges to the southern terminus of Springfield's
Urban Growth Boundary as Employment Mixed-Use except for Assessor's
Maps and Tax Lots 18-03-03-11-01401, 17-03-34-44-03300, and 17-03-34-44-00301,

A.1.a.5.
Designate and zone land on both sides of McVay Highway from
the Springfield Bridges to the southern terminus of Springfield's
Urban Growth Boundary as Employment Mixed-Use, as depicted in Figure
2.
A.1.a.6.
Designate all land within the Phase I Glenwood Refinement Plan
boundary a Multimodal Mixed-Use Area (MMA), as depicted in Figure
2.
A.1.a.7.
Compliance with the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). The
TPR (OAR 660-012-0000, et seq.) requires that when making an amendment
to a land use plan, a local jurisdiction shall put in place measures
to ensure that land uses are consistent with the identified function,
capacity, and performance standards of a State or City facility when
the plan amendment has a significant effect on that facility. The
TPR defines "significant effect" as reducing performance below the
minimum acceptable standard in the relevant plan, or worsening the
performance of a facility otherwise projected to perform below the
minimum acceptable standard. However, a local government may amend
a land use plan without applying the performance standards if the
proposed amendment is entirely within a multimodal mixed-use area
(MMA) (OAR 660-012-0060). (6316; 6279)

*
|
The 85 Percent Rule is a measure of parking utilization that
acts as a benchmark against which parking management decisions are
based. Within the parking industry, it is assumed that when an inventory
of parking exceeds 85 percent occupancy in the peak hour, the supply
becomes constrained and may not provide full and convenient access
to its intended user. Once a supply of parking routinely exceeds 85
percent occupancy in the peak hour, the 85 Percent Rule would require
that parking management strategies be evaluated and/or implemented
to bring peak hour occupancies to a level below 85 percent to ensure
intended uses are conveniently accommodated. (6279)
