- M I NUT E S e Eugene City Council Council Chamber--City Hall October 26, 1987 7:30 p.m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Debra Ehrman, Freeman Holmer, Jeff Miller, Rob Bennett, Cynthia Wooten, Ruth Bascom, Roger Rutan. COUNCILORS ABSENT: Emily Schue. The adjourned meeting of October 21, 1987, of the City Counci 1 of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION/REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF RIVER ROAD, SOUTH OF CROCKER LANE AND NORTH OF THE EXISTING CITY LIMITS (TWELFTH STREET DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, ET AL) (AZ 87-8) Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow introduced the item. Cathy Czerniak of the Planning Department gave the staff report. She said the annexation proposal is for 17 tax lots totaling 13.5 acres. No nonconsenting property owners are included in the proposal. Eleven of the properties are privately e owned and six tax lots are Lane County rights-of-way. Ms. Czerniak said River Road is being widened and the Chambers Connector is being constructed in the area of the annexation proposal. Annexation at this time will permit property owners to connect to sewers during construction. Ms. Czerniak said the Planning Commission received testimony about notification to the River Road Community Organization. A change in the executive board membership of the organization resulted in some members not being notified of the proposal. She said the Planning Commissioners noted that their decision was made without benefit of testimony from the organization but the commission noted that community organization representatives will be able to testify before the Ci ty Council and the Boundary Commission. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposal. If it is approved, the Tax Differential Plan for the River Road area will be applied. Ms. Czerniak discussed concerns expressed to the Planning Commission about the recommended rezoning of Tax Lot 200 which is currently zoned for residential use. The staff recommended Tax Lot 200 be rezoned for commercial use. She said Tax Lot 100 north of Tax Lot 200 is zoned for commercial use but it is not known when Tax Lot 100 was zoned for commercial use. It is possible the rezoning was a transcription error; however, the Lane County Board of Commissioners legislatively adopted the commercial zoning during the urban transition. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 26, 1987 Page 1
