ATTACHMENT C Planning & Development Administration City of Eugene 99 W. 10tH Avenue MEMORANDUM (541) 682-5477 (541) 682-8335 FAX www. ci.eugene.or, us Date: January 10, 2004 To: Mayor and City Council CC: Planning Commission From: Susan Muir, Planning Director Subject: Follow up from October 2004 Joint Meeting between the City Council and Planning Commission On October 20, 2004 the City Council met with the Planning Commission in a joint work session and adopted the proposed work program. At that meeting additional questions were raised that are addressed in this memo. Funding In May 2003, the City Council allocated a total of $200,000 to facilitate an update to the Land Use Code (LUC) and for furthering Mixed Use (nodal) development. Code Amendments (LUC Update) The process for amending the code has been divided into two general categories; minor fixes and key amendments. In September of this year, staff began processing minor fixes with the Planning Commission. The processing of key amendments will commence following the completion of the minor fixes. Of the funding provided by the City Council, approximately $60,000 has been allocated to this project. This money will be used to fund consultant work on the key amendments. As of this date, staff reductions, vacant positions and competing work program items have left limited staff availability for this project. As such, the ability to complete the review of these amendments is dependant upon an efficient and strategic process, both at the Planning Commission and City Council level. Following, is a brief outline of the projected timeline for both phases of the code amendment process. Minor Fixes October '04 - March '05: Planning Commission review of suggested minor fixes. Planning Commission will screen potential amendments to determine which will be considered at a future public hearing. Page 1 of 1
