The current <br />Springfield Renaissance Development Corporation conceptual plan recommends that the Alternative 1 <br />site be rezoned to a mixed-use designation. The courthouse use complies with the standards for a <br />mixed-use zone. Selection of Alternative 1, option B would result in a more intense site development, <br />which would be offset by a reduction in the amount of property to be devoted to the federal courthouse. <br />In sum, there would be no significant difference in land use impacts between options A and B under <br />Alternative 1. <br />Development of the courthouse as a public facility or as an office use is permitted in all zones listed for <br />the Alternative. 2 site in Eugene. The current downtown planning process in Eugene is likely to <br />recommend that the Alternative 2 site be rezoned to a mixed-use designation: A courthouse is an <br />allowed use in a mixed-use zone. Alternative 2, option B would concentrate the federal courthouse <br />activities onto a smaller site than Alternative 2, option A, allowing for redevelopment of the remainder <br />of the site. There would be no significant difference in land use impacts between options A and B under <br />Alternative 2. <br />Transportation -Traffic Flow ! - <br />Development of either of the action alternatives would not significantly affect traffic flow during the `' <br />horizon year 2003. Construction and operation of the proposed courthouse would not change the level <br />of service from the no-action condition, at any of the evaluated intersections and would not reduce the <br />level of service below the standard (level of service D) set by both Eugene and Springfield. ~ <br />New Federal Courthouse Page 6 of 8 March 2001 <br />
