<br />e <br /> <br />by the council on January 11. He said renotification for tonight's <br />public hearing had been issued. <br /> <br />Mr. Chenkin said zoning being recommended for the area was mostly <br />holding zones that would allow uses of a less intensive nature than <br />allowed by the Willow Creek Special Area Study, but when more intensive <br />zoning was desired, owners could apply for rezoning, which would be <br />supported by staff if it was consistent with the study. At the present, <br />he said, all minimum level urban services were not available, and <br />property in the island annexation could not be developed, which was one <br />reason for the annexation. <br /> <br />Mr. Chenkin said an exception to applying the City equivalent of current <br />County zoning was the small area in the northwest corner, zoned R-2 and <br />C-2 by the County. He said those zones would allow uses that were more <br />intensive and of different character than envisioned in the study, which <br />designated the area industrial, so the Planning Commission recommended <br />the 1-2 zone. He said the owners had been notified of that, and no <br />objection had been received. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Chenkin said he had held a discussion this afternoon with Grant Rich, <br />who represented the Cuddebacks, major area property owners. He said they <br />wanted to ensure that the zoning being recommended tonight (basically AG <br />and RA) would be a holding zone and that once the property was annexed <br />and services were available, development could occur based on the study <br />designations (mainly medium- and high-density residential, with some <br />commercial). Mr. Chenkin said he had ensured owners that staff would <br />support those designations before the Hearings Official, and owners had <br />requested him to relate that their absence tonight did not mean that they <br />were permanently in favor of AG and RA zoning, which he believed was <br />understood. <br /> <br />Mr. Chenkin apologized for the extra paperwork provided to the council <br />and said it provided background reflecting normal action. <br /> <br />Mr. Rutan asked about the legal foundation for future zoning requests by <br />owners. Mr. Chenkin said much property within the urban growth boundary <br />was zoned for less intensive uses than allowed by applicable plans and <br />studies. He said the zoning in the Willow Creek Special Area Study that <br />precisely designated various zones for properties would be appropriate <br />when they were annexed and services were available. He said no problem <br />was anticipated as long as the requested zoning was designated in the <br />study. <br /> <br />Mr. Holmer said he hoped the administrative intent would be reflected in <br />the minutes. Mr. Chenkin said he thought that would be proper and had <br />assured the owner that it would be the intent of staff to support that <br />zoning, at least with the information available today and based on the <br />special area study. <br /> <br />No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />January 25, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 12 <br />
