<br /> Jim Saul, 2780 Elinor Street, stated that he was representing the Planning and
<br /> e Land Use Committee of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. He stated that the
<br /> committee, in response to Mr. Chenkin's presentation of a draft of the proposed
<br /> revisions to the Commercial District, had appointed a subcommittee to review
<br /> the draft. He stated that the committee had unanimously endorsed the proposed
<br /> revisions. He stated that three concerns of the committee which were addressed
<br /> by the proposed revisions were the change from the Residential/Professional
<br /> District to a General Office District and the building height limitation in
<br /> the RP District, changes to the list of conditional and outright uses in the
<br /> various commercial districts, and the issue of allowing professional offices in
<br /> the C-4 District. He stated that the revisions made by the Planning Department
<br /> staff were supported by the Planning and Land Use Committee.
<br /> There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.

<br /> 9.420, 9.434, 9.504, 9.510, 9.534, 9.540, 9.542, 9.544,
<br /> 9.546,9.556,9.558, 9.582, 9.584, 9.586, 9.587, 9.590,

<br /> 9.424, 9.436, and 9.438 of that code; adding new
<br /> Sections 9.437,9.439, and 9.440 to that code; and
<br /> declaring an emergency.
<br /> Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be read
<br /> - the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous
<br /> consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this
<br /> time.
<br /> In response to a question by Councilor Hansen concerning general offices in
<br /> the C-2 District, Mr. Chenkin stated that numerous office uses were allowed
<br /> outright in that district. He added that the Taco Time International offices
<br /> would be allowed in the C-4 District as a headquarters administrative office.
<br /> Responding to a question regarding solar restriction in Section 9.534,
<br /> Mr. Chenkin stated that the building height language was a standard commonly
<br /> used by jurisdictions in Oregon and in the Zoning Ordinance in relation to
<br /> other uses. In response to a question regarding the use of joint parking, he
<br /> stated that no building permit would be issued for a proposed use if the
<br /> Building Official determined that the new use would create a greater demand
<br /> for parking than the former use. He said the burden of proof would be on the
<br /> developer who changed the property use. In regard to off-street parking for
<br /> employees, Mr. Chenkin stated that the City currently allows some businesses
<br /> to lease land for off-street employee parking. He explained that the City
<br /> Attorney would study any lease contract so that the City could be assured that
<br /> such parking was guaranteed for a reasonable length of time. In regard to
<br /> bicycle parking, he stated that the language requiring locking for bicycles
<br /> meant a stationary structure to which the bicycles could be locked. He said
<br /> the language was presently being used for industrial districts. In response to
<br /> a question regarding coverings for bicycles, Mr. Chenkin stated that the Bicycle
<br /> Committee had debated the issue and that the requirement was only for those
