· A zone change applying this S-HJM Historic Johansen-Moody House Special Area Zone to the 370 River Road site (City file Z 04-17). · A code amendment establishing a zone change criterion that references siting requirements in uncodified site-specific S-H Historic Special Area Zones (CA 04-1). Mr. Kullby noted that the City Council would consider the three decisions at a later date, based upon the Planning Commission's recommendation, criteria of approval and the quasi-judicial procedures. Mr. Kullby read into the record the applicable criteria for approval, refer to EC 9.8065 Code Amendment Approval Criteria, and EC 9.8865 Zone Change Approval Criteria, and EC 9.3020 Criteria for Estab- lishment of an S Special Area Zone. Ms. Levis arrived at 6:07 p.m. Mr. Kullby said that staff had received no additional written testimony in response to the public notice provided in accordance with Type IV application procedures subsequent to the November 15, 2004 Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Kullby stated that a letter from Terri Harding, Satre Associates, the applicant's representative, had been distributed at the November 15, 2004 Planning Commission meeting. He said Ms. Harding had requested that the draft ordinance be modified to add an exemption to the paving standards of the Eugene Code to apply only in the case of "Specialty Retail" and "Specialty Food and Beverage". Mr. Kullby said staff supported the request, given the 850 square foot maximum for "Specialty Food and Beverage" according to the existing ordinance. He added that any parking lot alterations would be subject to a historic alteration application. Mr. Kullby added that the gravel lot was more historically appropriate for the site than a paved parking area, as assessed by Ken Guzowski, the City's historic preservation planner. Mr. Kullby noted there was a site plan on page 44 of the application that illustrated the existence of a ~ff,~5 .f. oo~Douglas Fir that would suffer root damage if the parking lot was paved. He noted that this particular landscape feature had been called out in the city landmark designation. Addressing the public, Mr. Lawless said that testimony, arguments and evidence presented must be directed towards the approval criteria or other criteria in the plan that the speaker believed should apply to the decision. He added that failure to raise an issue with sufficient specificity to allow the Planning Commission and parties to respond would preclude appeal on that issue. Terri Harding, Satre Associates, 132 East Broadway, Suite 536, stated that she represented the owner of the subject property. Ms. Harding stated that 850 square feet of "Specialty Food and Beverage" was an appropriate use for the site. She added that the gravel parking lot had sufficient room for vehicles to turn around. Mr. Lawless closed the public hearing. Mr. Lawless asked for staff response to the testimony. There was none. Mr. Lawless asked for rebuttal testimony. There was none.
