Option 1 <br />Require a public hearing for all annexation requests. <br /> <br />Option 2 <br />Require a public hearing when one is required by state law and when one of the following <br />circumstances exists: <br />Property is over two acres in size <br />? <br /> <br />The city modifies the application to include right-of-way or public land <br />? <br /> <br />A request for a public hearing is made from those receiving public notice <br />? <br /> <br /> <br />While it is not staff’s recommendation to do so, if the council is inclined to pursue one of these <br />options, staff would recommend the council favor Option 1 which would require public hearings <br />for all annexation requests. While it is likely that many of the annexation requests will not <br />generate significant testimony, it may be more efficient for all concerned to simply set each <br />application for a public hearing rather than creating the additional steps included in Option 2. <br />Based on this, staff has included Option 1 in the alternative draft ordinance included as <br />Attachment B. Since this concept would add approximately 25 – 40 public hearings to the <br />council agenda per year (based on past annexation volume), staff would ask for City Council’s <br />support to look for appropriate efficiencies in scheduling and conduct of the hearings. <br /> <br />If you have further questions, please contact Steve Nystrom, Principal Planner at 682-8385 or by <br />email at Steven.A.Nystrom@ci.eugene.or.us. <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
