Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan Update (memo attached; background information distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Bill French, Planning. Mr. French distributed copies of a letter on this item from Henry and Wave Goertzen of Danebo Flowers and noted that the letter had not been received in time for inclusion with information previously distributed to the council on this item. Mr. French said that the plan, before the council was an update of an earlier plan, adopted in 1975, and represented a refinement to the Metropolitan Area General Plan. He said that the plan covered most of Northwest Eugene and included land represented by the Active Bethel Citizens and Bethel Triangle neighborhood associations. He noted that the plan covered both property inside the City limits and property outside the City limits but within the urban growth boundary. Mr. French said that the urban growth boundary had been extended west to Greenhill Road under provisions e of the Metropolitan Area General Plan. Mr. French said that the boundaries of the study area were, generally, Greenhill Road on the west, the City limits on the north, the area between residential and industrial uses, including Roosevelt Boulevard, on the south, and the Southern Pacific Railroad yards to the east. Mr. French noted that the Metropolitan Area General Plan had designated three development nodes in the Bethel-Danebo area and said that the plan update had been used to locate and to describe land uses within those nodes. He said that the first node was located on the north side of Barger Avenue between Highway 99 North and Beltline Road and included five acres designated for commercial use, 16 acres for high-density residential use, and 71 acres for medium-density residential use. He said that the second node had been located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Royal and Danebo avenues and would include ten acres of commercial property and 30 acres for medium-density residential use. Mr. French said that demand for the third node would probably not occur for fifteen to twenty years. He said that this node was planned for the north side of Royal Avenue, approximately midway between Terry Street and Greenhill Road and would include 5 acres for commercial use and 20 acres for medium-density residential development. Mr. French said that development of these three nodes would help in fulfillment of City energy and transportation policies, would provide a balance for future development, would make available a variety of housing types in the Bethel-Danebo area, and would allow people in the area to live near employment centers. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 13, 1982 Page 3
