<br />ISSUE STATEMENT
<br />
<br />The City Council will take action on an ordinance concerning minor amendments to the Eugene Land
<br />Use Code (Chapter 9).
<br />
<br />
<br />BACKGROUND
<br />
<br />On June 16, 2008, the City Council held a public hearing to consider land use code amendments on 18
<br />topics that were primarily raised by community members to address code concerns, with the remaining
<br />topics referred by the council. At the public hearing, the majority of the testimony centered around two
<br />of the 18 amendment topics: #5, Building Height Transitions in South University Neighborhood
<br />Association; and #7, Required Parking for Multi-Family Developments in West University and South
<br />University Neighborhood Associations. Testimony given at the City Council public hearing on these
<br />two amendments was divided, while testimony on the other topics was generally in support.
<br />
<br />To that end, two separate and independent ordinances are provided for the City Council’s consideration.
<br />The first, Ordinance A, contains amendments on the remaining 16 topics, and mirrors the Planning
<br />Commission’s recommendations on these amendments. As noted above, public testimony on these
<br />topics was generally supportive. Additionally, in response to City Council direction regarding the
<br />applicant/neighborhood meeting amendment, this ordinance includes code language that requires the site
<br />plan submitted to the City as part of a land use application be in substantial conformance with the
<br />project presented at the neighborhood/applicant meeting.
<br />
<br />The second, Ordinance B, contains amendment #5, Building Height Transitions in South University
<br />Neighborhood Association, as revised by the neighborhood, and also contains language to forward
<br />amendments #5 and #7 to the Infill Compatibility Standards project for further consideration. In
<br />addition, two alternatives for addressing amendment #7 are provided as separate motions. Ordinance B
<br />and the alternatives are summarized below:
