RESOLUTION NO. 4873 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A SECOND TERM OF HISTORIC PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY PURSUANT TO HB 2776 (2005 OR LAWS CH 549). The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. The City of Eugene and its citizens value the preservation of its architectural heritage and support tools to assist that preservation, including property tax deferment programs. B. The 2005 Oregon Legislature enacted HB 2776, to amend the Special Assessment of Historic Property program to allow residential property owners to reapply for a second term of special assessment providing, if the residential property is located within a city, the governing body of the city adopts a resolution or ordinance authorizing a second term of historic property classification and special assessment for residential property. C. The City Council finds that it would be in the public interest to authorize a second term of special assessment for residential property, subject to the provisions of HB 2776.
