680.050 Review Criteria.
Zoning map amendments will be approved if the Planning Commission finds that the applicant has shown that all of the following criteria are met:
A. The proposed base zone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan map designation for the entire subject area unless a Plan map amendment has also been applied for in accordance with Sections 610 - Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
B. Existing or anticipated transportation facilities are adequate for uses that are permitted under the proposed zone designation. Proposals that significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the function, capacity and level of service identified in the City, County and Regional Transportation Plans.
C. Existing or anticipated services (water, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, schools, police and fire protection) can accommodate potential development within the subject area without adverse impact on the affected service area.
D. Any unique natural features or special areas involved such as floodplain, slopes, significant natural vegetation, will not be jeopardized as a result of the proposed rezoning.
E. The intent and purpose of the proposed zoning district best satisfies the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
F. The review body shall find that:
The transportation system is capable of supporting the proposed use in addition to the existing uses in the area and will not significantly affect a transportation facility. Evaluation factors include street capacity and level of service, on-street parking impacts, access requirements, neighborhood impacts and pedestrian safety.
“Significantly” affect the transportation facility means the proposal would:
(1) As measured at the end of the Wood Village TSP planning period or 15 years, whichever is greater, the proposal would result in levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; or
(2) Reduce the performance of an existing of planned transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Oregon Highway Plan, Wood Village TSP or Comprehensive Plan, as applicable; or
(3) Worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance standard in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Oregon Highway Plan, Wood Village TSP or Comprehensive Plan, as applicable.
If it is determined that a proposed land use significantly affects a transportation facility, the applicant shall assure that the allowed uses are consistent with the function, capacity and level of service of the facility by one of the following methods:
(a) Alter land use designations, densities, or design requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through other modes of transportation; or
(b) Provide measures demonstrating that the use can be consistent with the planned function of the transportation facility, or provide other measures as a condition of development through a development agreement or similar method, specifying when such measures will be provided.
