t summary, he said the Planning Commission did believe all applicabl,~ criteria for annexation were substantive: It would be consistent with the adopted plans, it represents a logical extension of City e boundaries, and services are available. Findings also pertinent to demonstrated need regarding the City's adopted policy of low income and housing dispersal were included. Mr. Obie said in reading the staff notes and minutes, he assumed that because Lane County owned the property and was participating in the proposed development, that had nothing to do with annexation. Mr. Saul said insofar as the property represents a logical extension of the city limits, the fact that it is owned by Lane County and the Housing Authority has a project proposed for the property has no bearing. The only relationship noted was the urgency of the appli- cation. He said under R-1 zoning, mechanisms are available for increased density for control of subsidized projects. However, he noted if the proposed project were not developed publicly, there could be privately-sponsored development. In either case, the development would have to go through separate public hearings. The City's Joint Housing Committee has established a Design Review Committee, which includes a person from the Cal Young Nei0hborhood Group. In response to a question from Mayor Keller regarding capacity of the schools, Mr. Saul said District 4-J had indicated there was capacity at Willagillespie to accommodate school children at this time. However, he said if other proposed projects in the area were completed prior to this one, overporulation at the school might oc cur. In that event, the school district would bus students to other e schools. In rebuttal, Ms. Steveson said the housing project would not attract 25 new families in the area, but the families would in fact be resi- dents of Eugene. There is presently a considerable waiting list for this housing. Regarding taxes, she said the various agreements on the project would require the Housing Authority to make full payment of taxes. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Res. No. 3057--Recommending to Boundary Commission annexation of property located east of Willagillespie Road to the southeast of Willagillespie School was read by number and title. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that findings supporting the annexation as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of November 20, 1978, be adopted by reference thereto; and that the resolution be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. C.B. 1805--Rezoning from County AGT to City R-1 property located east of Willagillespie Road to the southeast of Willagillespie School was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. e 12/11/78--4 \ 1t,'l
