BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL
On September 24, 2003, the City Council adopted amendments to the Salem Area
Comprehensive Plan (SACP) and Salem Revised Code (SRC) establishing a "Mixed Use"
comprehensive plan designation and a "Fairview Mixed Use" (FMU) zone district. The adopted
amendments were applied to the former Fairview Training Center site to promote the
sustainable and mixed-use development of the 275-acre property.
The Fairview Mixed Use zone, SRC Chapter 143C, establishes both general overall
development standards for the site as well as the approval process that development of the
property must follow. The general overall development standards for the site are established
under Salem Revised Code Chapter 143C.070 and require that:
(a) The maximum number of dwelling units which shall be permitted in the FMU zone is
2,000;
(b) A minimum of 20 acres shall be reserved as natural open space;
(c) The perpetual maintenance of open space shall be required and described in any
Refinement Plan;
(d) All buildings or structures within the FMU zone shall be set back a minimum of twenty
(20) feet from the FMU zone boundary; and
