kinds of issues when it considered additional densification and intensification of use. In regard to the <br />rezoning of Crescent, she asked if the City had looked at the rezoning it had done in that area to assess the <br />impact of that on the transportation system in a comprehensive way, as opposed to looking at each change <br />"in a vacuum." While staff frequently maintained that there was no impact from such rezonings, they all <br />have a cumulative impact on the system. She said that the City may have to change its policies to require <br />upfront help with the infrastructure when such zone changes occur. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mayor Piercy, Mr. Schoening said the City offered a deferral of the street <br />assessment payment to some later date when the property changed hands. Mayor Piercy asked about the <br />nature of the subsidy available. Mr. Schoening said it ranged from one-third to five-sixths of the <br />assessment and was based on income level without regard to age. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy called for a second round of comments and questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly discussed funding the City's share of the cost of local assessment projects. He said that the first <br />question that came to mind was the cost of that, and how often it happened. If the petition poll process <br />was rarely successful, he believed the City share was a pretty small number in absolute dollars. He asked <br />for a better sense of that. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly did not like the 100 percent rule, although he understood why the City took that approach with <br />regard to alleys. He thought it removed the fairness from the process and spread the unfairness to more <br />property owners. <br /> <br /> Speaking to Ms. Bettman's remarks regarding the use of CDBG dollars, Mr. Kelly said he was not <br /> suggesting any changes, but different cities use that money for very different things. In Eugene, the <br /> money was used to fund capital improvement for nonprofit organizations. He said he would like to have a <br /> council work session on the origin of that tradition, what other communities do, and if periodically the <br /> council should revisit the issue. <br /> <br /> City Manager Taylor said he had served in other communities where CDBG dollars were used both in <br /> eligible areas and for eligible individuals as part of an overall strategy to upgrade certain areas. It <br /> provided an additional equity for people sustaining the costs of an LID. It had been a very successful <br /> approach because it provided an incentive for people to get their roads improved and in the long-term <br /> improved the value of their property. In all such cases, there were community-wide maintenance districts <br /> in which all participated. <br /> <br /> C. EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> <br /> Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute 192.660(2)(h), the council entered into executive session. <br /> <br /> Following the executive session, Mayor Piercy reconvened the council to take action on the Consent <br /> Calendar. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 14, 2005 Page 5 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
