e M I NUT E S Eugene City Council McNutt Room--City Hall October 25, 1989 11:30 a.m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Ruth Bascom, Roger Rutan, Rob Bennett, Shawn Boles, Emily Schue, Debra Ehrman, Freeman Holmer, Bobby Green. The adjourned meeting of October 23, 1989, of the Eugene City Council was called to order by His Honor Mayor Jeff Miller. I. ITEMS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR, AND CITY MANAGER This item was not covered. II. WORK SESSION: URBAN RENEWAL PLAN UPDATE Abe Farkas, Planning and Development Director, reminded the council that this e is an update to the 1968 Urban Renewal Plan. The goal of the update is to change the plan to correspond with changes that have been made with respect to urban renewal since 1968. The State has taken the responsibility for urban renewal from the Federal government. 11th WILLAMETTE DEVELOPMENT Bob Hibschman, Planning and Development Department, reported on the 11th Willamette Project. Mr. Hibschman noted that the concept of this project is for a mixed-use housing/commercial development project. Referring to a point in Mr. Hibschman's presentation, Mr. Holmer questioned whether an agreement has been reached on the negotiation of the parking loan. It was Mr. Holmer's understanding that the parking cost was supposed to be the developer's responsibility. Mr. Hibschman responded that because this is predominantly a housing project, it is possible that the project will receive some financial assistance for parking. No assumptions are being made to this effect, however. Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Mr. Hibschman said that the terms of the loan could be similar to those of the loan for the previous developer. Mr. Boles encouraged the council to consider diverse options with respect to these projects in an effort to increase alternative modes in the downtown area. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 25, 1989 Page 1
