Concurrent Annexation/Rezoning property located at southwest corner of Coburg Road and Crescent Avenue, from County RA to City R-1 (Eugene Swim & Tennis Club) (A/Z 78-16) Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission December 5, 1978. Jim Saul, Planner, said the request involves approximately 10 acres, with two-thirds of the property presently developed with the facility. The remainder of the property is vacant, and probably will be used for further expansion. The annexation request was necessitated by failure of the club's septic tank and subsequent order by the Lane County Sanitarian to seek annexation. Findings for the annexation covered three sets of standards: The City standards as to whether it was within the urban service area, whether services were available, whether it was a logical extension of city boundaries, and whether the property was contiguous to the city limits. Affirmative findings were found on all. The second set of findings related to LCDC's Adminis- trative Rule of whether pUblic facilities and services are available and whether the property is urban in character. Affirmative findings were documented. The third set of findings related to the Statewide .... Goals, with affirmative findings. Mr. Saul noted on the basis of .., these affirmative findings, the Planning Commission did recommend annexation to the city. Annexation would be both to the city of Eugene and the Metro Wastewater Service District. A zoning request from County RA to City R-l was also recommended by the Planning Commission. He noted the recreational facilities in an R-1 zone district are permitted under a conditional use procedure. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Councilors. Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. Richard Butler, president of the Eugene Swim and Tennis Club, was present, along with a board member and manager of the club. The club is a non-profit organization run by a board of directors. There are 285 families in the current membership.
