ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE S-HK HISTORIC KAUFMAN HOUSE SPECIAL AREA ZONE; AMENDING SECTION 9.8865 OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971; AND AMENDING THE EUGENE ZONING MAP. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. The Kaufinan House was donated .to the City of Eugene in 1972 and has been used as a senior center under a conditional use permit (CUP) for over 30 years, along with the adjacent Kaufman Annex (Beardsley House at 673 West 10th Avenue). B. Recognition of historic landmarks enhances the beautification of the city, promotes the city's economic health, and preserves the value of these properties. The regulation of designated .historic landmarks provides a means to review changes to a landmark and ensure that historic and architectural values are preserved. The Gertrude and Ludwig Kaufman House was designated as a City of Eugene Historic Landmark On December 8, 2003. C. A Historic Special Area Zone is desirable for the Gertrude and Ludwig Kaufman House to foster the continued preservation of the property by allowing appropriate uses beyond · the senior services authorized by the CUP and establishing appropriate development standards. Existing zones contain uses that are inappropriate while omitting uses that are apprOpriate to this specific historic building and site. D. Site-specific historic zones are generally established by ordinance without codification. Copies of such ordinances are to be maintained at the City's Planning & Development Department (Sections 9.3020 and 9.3450 of the Eugene Code, 1971 ("EC")). The S-HK Historic Kaufman House Special Area Zone is such a site-specific historic zone. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The S-HK Historic Kaufman House Special Area Zone is hereby established and shall be subject to the following: (a) Purpose of S-HK Historic Kaufman House Special Area Zone. The S-HK Special Area Zone is intended to afford the Gertrude and Ludwig Kaufman House Historic Landmark ("Kaufman House") special treatment and protection so that the uses permitted and restrictions imposed will preserve and allow rehabilitation of the landmark's character-defining features (an example of a prominent local architect's, John Hunzicker's, work), and the distinctive landscape design features of Lloyd Bond.
