Mayor Piercy stressed to those in the audience that she took full responsibility for combining the three <br />hearings. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the meeting of the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency at 8:45 p.m. The City Council <br />meeting remained open. <br /> <br />The following items were combined into one hearing: <br /> <br /> <br />6. PUBLIC HEARING: <br />Resolution 4861 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the City of Eugene <br />for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2005, and Ending June 30 2006 <br /> <br />7. PUBLIC HEARING: <br />Resolution 1038 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the Urban Renewal <br />Agency of the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2005, and Ending June 30, <br />2006 <br /> <br />8. PUBLIC HEARING: <br />Resolution 4862 Granting an Exemption from Competitive Selection Requirements for a Personal <br />Services Contract Relating to Developer Services and Developer’s Selection of General Contrac- <br />tor for Construction of a Public Parking Facility; and Approving Findings Relating Thereto <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor asked Associate Planner for PDD, Nan Laurence, to describe the scope of the East <br />Broadway development project and the nature of the hearings that were before the council at this meeting. <br />He noted that he had conferred with the Mayor regarding how to best facilitate the hearing so that everyone <br />would have the opportunity to speak, once it had come to light that many people wished to testify on the <br />item. He said he had also conferred with the City Attorney and determined that the procedure by which the <br />council had chosen to conduct the three hearings was, in fact, legal. He felt the hearing would be more user- <br />friendly. <br /> <br />Ms. Laurence described the two components of the East Broadway proposal: the Whole Foods Grocery, <br />which would occupy approximately 52,000 square feet on the southern half of the block; and the parking <br />th <br />garage, located on the northern half of the block and which would face 8 Avenue. She explained that the <br />three items that were subject to public hearing were: 1) the supplemental budget for the East Broadway <br />public parking garage and the City Hall Phase 2 development plan; 2) the supplemental budget for the <br />Urban Renewal Agency also related to the parking garage; and 3) exempting the public parking from the <br />competitive selection process. She wished to emphasize three points: <br /> <br />1. This project sought to implement the vision for downtown based on council direction in the Down- <br />town Plan. <br />2. This project would be pro-active as the proposed public parking garage would act as an incentive <br />for further redevelopment and satisfy the demand for parking in the east end of the downtown area. <br />She stressed that these spaces were separate from and in addition to the 240 parking spaces that <br />were planned to be built above the Whole Foods Grocery structure. The need for parking was <br />documented in the Parking Study and the data in that study was based on a physical inventory con- <br />ducted by staff. <br />3. The project would be strategic and would capitalize on a development opportunity. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council -- March 13, 2006 Page 10 <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> <br />
