sector, remains undeveloped and the Applicants have not shown why these properties are not sufficient to meet the public need. 2. The Applicants' arguments concerning the suitability of their site for residential use fails to demonstrate that there is an insufficient supply of commercial land in the East Laurel Hill sector to meet the needs of the general public. 3. The Applicants' arguments concerning the undesirability of the existing commercial land within the East Laurel Hill sector is unsupported. Other evidence in the record indicates that the Applicants' site is similarly situated with respect to the issues identified by the applicant as undesirable. 4. Several of the Applicants' arguments incorrectly identify the "public" (whose needs should be met) as tourists seeking travel services. 5. The Applicants' arguments regarding commercial land impacted by the realignment of the Glenwood interchange as a result of the Cooperative Work Agreement, recent changes to the Eugene Code, and development plans adopted after the adoption of the Laurel Hill Plan do not establish that there is an insufficient supply of commercial land in the East Laurel Hill sector to meet the needs of the general pubic. H. EC 9.8865(2) requires that the proposed zone change be consistent with the Laurel Hill Refinement Plan. Based on the reasons discussed in the findings above, the proposed zone change fails to comply with EC 9.8865(2). Further, the Laurel Hill Plan Land Use Diagram designates the subject site for Low-Density Residential uses. Because the City Council has concluded that the record does not support an approval of the proposed refinement plan amendment, the requested zone change to Community Commercial (C-2) is inconsistent with the Laurel Hill Plan Land Use Diagram designation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: Section 1. The above findings incorporated herein by reference are adopted. Section 2. The request to change the Laurel Hill Plan Land Use diagram designation for Tax Lots 199, 200, and 300, Assessor's Map 18-03-03-23, as depicted on Exhibit A hereto, from Low-Density Residential to Commercial is denied. Section 3. The request to change the zoning for Tax Lots 199, 200, and 300, Assessor's Map 18-03-03-23, as depicted on Exhibit A hereto, from R-1 Low-Density Residential to C-2 Commercial is denied. Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, that portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and that holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.
