Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 20521 Adoption of Code Amendments: Eugene Code Section 9.8065 requires that the following criteria be applied to a code amendment: (1) The amendments are consistent with applicable statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement To develop a citizen involvementprogram that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement that insure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and encourage such involvement. The action taken did not amend the citizen involvement program. Staff notified interested parties, the Lane County Homebuilders, Eugene's Neighborhood Leaders Council, Long Tom Watershed Council, and the Eugene Chamber of Commerce of the proposed stormwater management code amendments and offered to meet with them individually to clarify the proposal and answer questions. To date, no one has asked for additional information. In an effort to ensure the information and status would be available, staff established a website that holds the proposed amendments, time schedule, and instructions on how to become involved. The City of Eugene land use code implements Statewide Planning Goal l by requiring that notice of the proposed amendments be given and public hearings be held prior to adoption. Consideration of this ordinance will begin with a Eugene Planning Commission work session held on March 25, 2013. On May 14, 2013, a public hearing was held before the Eugene Planning Commission on the proposed amendments. Department of Land Conservation and Development notice, notice to interested parties and newspaper publication was provided for that hearing. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on December 9, 2013, to consider approval, modification, or denial of the proposed ordinance. These processes afford ample opportunity for citizen involvement consistent with Goal 1. The process for adopting the amendments complies with Goal 1 since it is consistent with, and will not change, the City's existing and acknowledged citizen involvement provisions. Goal 2 -Land Use Planning To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual basis for such decisions and actions. The Eugene Land Use Code specifies the procedure and criteria that are used in considering these amendments to the code. The record shows that there is an adequate factual base for the amendments.
