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 provide for the council to adopt a resolution approving, modifying and approving or denying an application for annexation, or provide for the council to hold a public hearing before consideration of the annexation request. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at 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 demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria 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. Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is included for reference as Attachment C. A full copy of all materials in the record is available at the th Permit and Information Center located at 99 West 10 Avenue. Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M091012\S0910122C.doc
