Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 20369 Adoption of Code Amendments: Eugene Code Section 9.8065 requires that the following criteria be applied to a code amendment: (1) The amendments are consistent with applicable statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Goal] - Citizen Involvement. To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement that insure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements for such involvement. The action taken did not amend the citizen involvement program. Throughout the stormwater development standards drafting process, the City provided numerous opportunities for citizen involvement. The City initiated the public involvement in 1999 when it convened a fourteen-member Stormwater Department Advisory Committee (DAC) to provide feedback to Eugene Public Works on the results of the Stormwater Basin Planning efforts. The 1999 DAC met from February 1999 through June 2000. The result of this long-term planning effort was called the proposed "stormwater management strategy," and included a capital project list, waterway protection measures and stormwater development standards. The 1999 DAC approved, with some modification, city staff s proposed stormwater management strategy. This stormwater management strategy served as the starting point for the Water Quality Implementation DAC Subcommittee (the 2005 DAC). City staff conducted broader public outreach from October 2000 through May 2001 on the proposed stormwater management strategy (i.e., capital projects list and proposed stormwater development standards) to receive further community feedback. This outreach included presentations to 10 neighborhood groups, as well as the Neighborhood Leaders Council, Long Tom Watershed Council, League of Women Voters, American Society of Landscape Architects and Oregon Landscape Contractors. The 2005 DAC was initiated in August 2005. The membership of the 2005 DAC included representatives of special interests (Chamber of Commerce, Lane County Home Builders' Association, Citizens for Public Accountability); technical expertise in architecture, engineering, site design, land use and the environment; and a neighborhood representative. The Committee met six times between August and November 2005 to review and provide input on the draft Stormwater Development Standards ordinance (August 8, August 25, October 3, October 25, October 31 and November 10). In an effort to solicit citizen involvement and input, presentations on the proposed Stormwater Development Standards have been made to several interest groups.
