Approval Criteria: Refinement Plan Amendment approval criteria are provided in Section 9.8424 of the Eugene Code (EC). Approval criteria are provided in bold below. EC 9.8424(1) The refinement plan amendment is consistent with all of the following: (a) Statewide planning goals. Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement: To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement which insure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements for such involvement. The Laurel Hill Plan amendment is limited to a Land Use Map change within the East Laurel Hill area. The plan amendment is subject to the Type IV public notification and hearing process beginning at EC 9.7410. On June 21, 2004, Planning staff deemed the Laurel Hill Plan amendment application complete at the applicants' request, and determined the proposal ready for processing. On July 8 and August 31, 2004, referrals concerning the pending applications were sent to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), and to the Laurel Hill Valley Citizens neighborhood association and to City departments, consistent with EC 9.7415(2). On July 2, 2004, the City mailed notice of the proposed plan amendments to the Department of Land Conservation and Development, as required by EC 9.7415(1) and in accordance with State statutes. On August 18, 2004, notice of the Planning Commission public hearing was mailed to the applicant, owners and occupants of property within 300 feet of the subject property, the Laurel Hill Valley Citizens neighborhood group, and other community organizations requesting such notice in accordance with EC 9.7415(2). Following a recommendation from the Planning Commission, the City Council will hold a duly noticed public hearing on the record to consider approval, modification, or denial of the amendment. These processes afford ample opportunity for citizen involvement consistent with Goal 1. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 1.
