ECC UGENE ITY OUNCIL AIS GENDA TEM UMMARY Approval of Resolution No. 5006 Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (195 Lindner Lane (City File A 10-1)) Meeting Date: May 24, 2010 Agenda Item Number: 2C Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Alissa Hansen www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541/682-5508 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex a parcel of land located on the north side of Lindner Lane, west of River Road at 195 Lindner Lane and identified as Tax Lot 7100 of Assessor’s Map 17-04-13-33. Since Lindner Lane is a city street, no street annexation is proposed as part of this application. The .33 acre parcel of land, owned by Kirk Giudici and Jade Elms, is developed with a single-family residence. A map of the property proposed for annexation is included as Attachment A. BACKGROUND In December 2007, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the procedures for annexation requests and amending Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code (EC) to include these procedures. These annexation procedures require the council to adopt a resolution approving, modifying and approving, or denying an application for annexation. The procedures also indicate the council may hold a public hearing before consideration of the annexation request. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria in EC 9.7825 which require that: (1)the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the city limits or separated from city limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2)the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans; and (3)the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Draft findings demonstrate that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria and are included as Exhibit C to the draft resolution (Attachment B). Public notice for this annexation request was provided in accordance with Eugene Code requirements, and no written testimony has been received. As discussed in the attached findings, the proposed request is within the UGB and contiguous to city limits, and can be provided with the minimum level of key urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance, lack of testimony received, and the non-controversial nature of the request, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance.
