RESOLUTION NO. 4820 <br /> <br /> A RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 4477 THAT <br /> ADOPTED THE 1996 HOUSING DISPERSAL POLICY, AND <br /> PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. <br /> <br /> The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: <br /> <br /> A. The City of Eugene first adopted a Housing Dispersal Policy ("the <br />Policy") in 1968 The Policy has been updated on three occasions since that time, most <br />recently by Resolution No 4477 on January 24, 1996 <br /> <br /> B. The goals of the Policy are to provide more housing choices for low <br />income families by encouraging the development of affordable housing throughout all <br />parts of the community, to avoid concentrations of low income families, and to limit <br />NIMBY opposition by ensuring that all neighborhoods have some affordable housing <br />Due to the many changes since 1968 in housing needs, land supply, funding issues, <br />improved housing polices, changes in City goals, and limitations in the number of units <br />developed, the Housing Policy Board recommended that housing dispersal policies <br />should be incorporated into the Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community <br />Development Needs (the "Consolidated Plan"), rather than being retained as a free- <br />standing policy <br /> <br /> C. Based on the Housing Policy Board's recommendation, on November 15, <br />2004, the Planning Commission unanimously supported repealing Resolution No 4477, <br />and incorporating housing dispersal policies into the Consolidated Plan Upon approval <br />of the Consolidated Plan by the City Council it will be submitted to the U S Department <br />of Housing and Urban Development <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings, <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: <br /> <br /> Section 1. Resolution No 4477 adopting the 1996 Housing Dispersal Policy is <br />hereby repealed, effective upon addition of housing dispersal policies to the Consolidated <br />Plan for Housing and Community Development Needs and its approval by the City <br />Council <br /> <br /> Section 2 Housing dispersal policies that encourage low-income housing to be <br />dispersed throughout the City of Eugene shall be added to the Consolidated Plan for <br />Housing and Community Development Needs After the City Council's approval of the <br /> <br />Resolution- 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
