Eugene had a higher rental rate than most communities of a comparable size and the issue was not rental or <br />nonrental; it had to do with stable, healthy neighborhoods. She said the distribution of rentals in the City <br />was another issue. She thought that people would grab whatever piece of information or opinion suited their <br />purpose and she preferred a much more informed discussion about where the City needed to go. She said <br />that poorly designed and unregulated infill and density would have a counterproductive effect and people <br />would flee to the outlying areas in order to protect their investments. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman stated that there were items on the work plan she did not think should be priorities and if they <br />were removed there would be resources available for issues such as the tree ordinance or the alternate path. <br />She noted that one of the tasks under opportunity siting was to develop criteria for identifying additional <br />opportunity sites. She thought it was the general sense of the council to work on demonstration sites for <br />opportunity siting and not necessarily look beyond that to the next steps. She said the task might be more <br />appropriate for the next year. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman stated that the buildable lands analysis was a Planning Commission initiative and not a high <br />priority for the council; it could be replaced with another task. She asked the commission to take Ballot <br />Measure 37 into account on all of its work plan initiatives. She was not certain what sort of clarification the <br />commission wanted on Item 11, the Jefferson-Westside neighborhood City-initiated Metro Plan amendment. <br />Mr. Nystrom said the council’s motion on September 11 made the Jefferson-Westside issue a high priority <br />and the question was how that fit in with the other high priorities currently on the list. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman thought that Item 11 should replace some of the Planning Commission initiatives. <br /> <br />Mr. Belcher said that the Census Bureau website indicated that Eugene’s percentage of rentals was 63 <br />percent and the national average was about 50 percent. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly indicated he shared Mayor Piercy’s concern about the potential bifurcation of the City’s <br />population, as did 4J School District Superintendent George Russell. He suggested that the City might want <br />to lobby for elimination or modification of the statewide ban on inclusionary zoning as a tool that could help <br />with equity. He had no concerns with the placement of Item 11 in the work plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé asked for a work session on a residential buildable lands inventory. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor expressed his appreciation for the Planning Commission’s work. He recognized that the council <br />was referring some very difficult issues to the commission and felt confident that those issues would be <br />thoroughly and thoughtfully studied. He felt the work plan attempted to create a balance between a variety <br />of interests, the order of work was fair and he would support it. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon thanked the commissioners and said she was amazed at the amount and depth of their work <br />and the thoughtful conclusions they presented to the council. She was very supportive of the proposed work <br />plan, which accurately captured the council’s priorities. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to approve the FY07 Planning Com- <br />mission Work Program contained in the attached Annual Report, including the His- <br />toric Review Board FY07 Work Program. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to replace Item 9 with Item 38 in the <br />FY07 Work Program. The motion failed, 6:2; Ms. Taylor and Ms. Bettman voting <br />in favor. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council September 27, 2006 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
