The purpose of the Chemawa Interchange Overlay Zone (CIO) is the long-range preservation of operational efficiency and safety of the Chemawa/I-5 Interchange and to implement the Chemawa/I-5 Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP). The Chemawa/I-5 Interchange is located at the east end of Keizer and the northern edge of Salem. The interchange serves a wide range of land uses and a very large geographic area. These land uses are primarily residential, commercial, educational services, and agricultural. Access to traveler services and industrial uses are not primary functions of the interchange. (6/14)

The Chemawa Interchange is the primary access to I-5 for the City of Keizer and its predominantly residential land uses, as well as Keizer Station, a developing commercial area that is located in the northwest and southwest quadrants of the interchange. The Chemawa Indian School, in the southeast quadrant of the interchange, outside the city limits of Keizer is a large educational use in the interchange area and will likely continue to grow on its existing site. The area northeast of the interchange includes land within Salem city limits, which is planned to be developed as a gateway business park with supportive commercial services. Land on the east side of the interchange also includes county-zoned agricultural parcels. (6/14)

The boundary of the CIO zone is shown on the Keizer Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map and Zoning Map. (6/14)

The provisions of this section shall apply to all Type II, III, and IV land use applications pursuant to section 3.101 for parcels wholly or partially within the CIO zone, as defined by section 2.129.02. The standards of the CIO zone shall supersede where conflicts arise between the standards of the CIO zone and those contained within other sections of the Keizer Development Code. Applications under this section which are subject to the CIO zone are herein referred to as subject applications. (6/14)

Uses allowed in the underlying zoning district are allowed, subject to other applicable provisions in the development code and chapter 2, zoning districts. (6/14)

In addition to the standards and requirements of sections 2.302 (street standards) and 2.303 (off-street parking and loading), subject applications are governed by the access management plan in the Chemawa/I-5 IAMP (section 5.3). The following applies to subject applications that are governed by section 2.302.03.N (street standards, general provisions, access control standards): (10/15)

A.

Access approval. (6/14)

1.

Access to local streets that are subject to section 2.129.06(B) shall be subject to joint review by the city and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and, where applicable, by Marion County. Coordination of this review will occur pursuant to section 2.129.06. (6/14)

2.

Approval of a driveway permit shall be subject to the standards contained in this section, the provisions of section 2.302 (street standards) and section 2.303 (off-street parking and loading) in the Keizer Development Code, and the access management plan in the Chemawa/I-5 IAMP (section 5.3). Where the recommendations of the access management plan conflict with other access and spacing requirements in section 2.301 (street standards), the access management plan shall govern. (6/14)

This section delineates the responsibilities of the city and ODOT to monitor and evaluate vehicle trip generation on the Chemawa Interchange from development approval under this section. (6/14)

A.

Transportation assessment report. (6/14) For all subject applications, the applicant shall prepare and submit to the city a transportation assessment report that documents the following: (6/14)

1.

Expected weekday p.m. peak hour trip generation. (6/14)

2.

Off-site improvements that will be constructed as part of the development. (6/14)

3.

Proposed site-access driveways and streets that are in conformance with the requirements of section 2.302 (street standards), section 2.303 (off-street parking and loading), and the IAMP access management plan (section 5.3) to ensure that adequate intersection sight distance and traffic control will be provided. (6/14)

4.

An on-site parking and circulation plan to ensure safe and efficient travel for all modes of travel, including turn movement templates (e.g., AutoTurn analysis) for anticipated trucks and emergency service vehicles. (6/14)

B.

Traffic impact analysis (6/14). For all land use applications located within the CIO zone that increase site traffic volume generation by 250 average daily trips (ADT) or more above the level shown in the most recent city-approved Keizer Station TIA, the applicant shall prepare and submit to the city a traffic impact analysis (TIA) that demonstrates the level of impact of the proposed development on the surrounding street system and the Chemawa/I-5 interchange and prepared pursuant to the requirements in section 2.301.04 (traffic impact analysis (TIA)). (6/14)

The determination of impact or effect, and the scope of the TIA, shall be jointly determined by the city and the jurisdiction responsible for the affected transportation facility. The developer shall be required to mitigate impacts attributable to the project, including any impacts that may occur outside of the CIO zone. Such mitigation requirements shall be binding conditions of approval. (6/14)

C.

Agency coordination. (6/14)

1.

The city shall not deem the land use application complete unless it includes a traffic assessment report or, if required by section 2.129.06.B, a transportation impact analysis prepared in accordance with the requirements of this section. (6/14)

2.

The city shall provide written notification to ODOT no later than ten days after the application is deemed complete. This notice shall include an invitation to ODOT, City of Salem, and Marion County to participate in the city's site team review meeting, pursuant to section 3.210 (pre-application conference). (6/14)

3.

The city shall also provide written notification to the transit agency and other public or quasi-public agencies that serve the CIO zone no later than ten days after the application is deemed complete. (6/14)

4.

ODOT shall have at least 20 days, measured from the date completion notice was mailed, to provide written comments to the city. If ODOT does not provide written comments during this 20-day period, the city staff report will be issued without consideration of ODOT comments. (6/14)

This section applies to all comprehensive plan map and zoning map amendments for parcels wholly or partially within the CIO zone and code amendments that affect development within the CIO zone. (6/14)

A.

Transportation planning rule requirements. Applications for comprehensive plan amendments, zoning map amendments, or development regulation amendments shall determine whether the proposed change will significantly affect a collector or arterial transportation facility and must meet the requirements of Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-012-0060. (6/14)

B.

Limitations on comprehensive plan and zoning map and text amendments. To improve safety and ensure that the capacity of the Chemawa/I-5 Interchange is reserved for residential, commercial, and educational service uses surrounding the interchange, consistent with the principal function of the facility, legislative amendments that allow land uses that will generate traffic in excess of the number of trips generated by SKATS modeling conducted for the IAMP are prohibited unless part of a legislative update of the IAMP, pursuant to the provisions of the IAMP and subsection 2.129.08. In such case, prior to adoption of such legislative amendment, the city shall request IAMP review and update pursuant to section 2.129.08. (6/14)

C.

IAMP review and update. Comprehensive land use plan map or zoning map amendments proposed for land within the CIO zone that have a significant effect on the transportation system and/or Chemawa/I-5 Interchange, pursuant to section 0060 of the Transportation Planning Rule, will trigger a review of the IAMP in accordance with the provisions of the IAMP. (6/14)

A.

IAMP updates. (6/14)

1.

If the findings and conclusions from an IAMP review demonstrate the need for an update to the plan, review participants will initiate an IAMP update process pursuant to the provisions of the IAMP. (6/14)

2.

An updated IAMP that results from a comprehensive plan map amendment, pursuant to section 2.129.07, shall require legislatively adopted amendments to the City of Keizer Transportation System Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and/or Development Code necessary to maintain consistency with the updated IAMP. The updated IAMP will subsequently be adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) as an update to the Oregon Highway Plan. (6/14)

3.

If a proposed land use change would result in the need for additional capacity at the interchange, the initiating party also shall prepare a mitigation funding plan for ODOT and local jurisdiction review as part of an update to the IAMP. (6/14)
