1 ;, e e e M I NUT E S Eugene City Council Work Session McNutt Room, City Hall February 17, 1982 12:30 p.m. PRESENT: Councilors Brian Obie, Mark Lindberg, Bill Hamel, Gretchen Miller, and Emile Schue; Micheal Gleason, City Manager; Pat Decker, Jody Miller, Jim Croteau, Planning staff; Eleanor Mulder and Adrienne Lannom, Eugene Planning Commission; Pat Lynch, Sheila Arthur, Marge Beck, Beth Campbell, City Manager's Office; Wilma Downie and Marshall Landman, West University Neighborhood; and Barbara Matt, KVAL-TV. I. REVIEW OF MEMORANDUM Jody Miller reviewed the Planning staff memorandum dated February 10, 1982, which outlined the differences between conditional use permit, site review, and mixed use zoning as they would apply to the East 12th Avenue area in the West University Refinement Plan Land Use Diagram. She noted that councilors present had toured the area in question and had received a memo dated February 4 with the Planning Commission's recommendation incorporated into the plan draft. Councilor Lindberg asked that the woonerf concept be moved from a proposal to a policy status and staff be directed to examine the issues and recommend which issues can be implemented and which cannot. Council consensus was to proceed in this manner. II. CONSIDERATION OF 12TH AVENUE AREA Jody Miller said the Planning Commission had recommended that clinics be an outright use, subject to site review, in R-4 districts north of 13th Avenue in the plan area. The West University Neighborhood, in forwarding the draft plan, recommended that clinics not be allowed in the R-3 or R-4 districts. The draft plan recommended that clinics be a conditional use in R-4 districts and that clinics are an appropriate use on 12th Avenue, but that residential uses should be predominant. A tax map showing the R-4 on 12th Avenue for the area in question was displayed to assist the council in their discussions. Ms. Schue asked for a definition of "clinic." Mr. Croteau said a clinic is any medical facility, such as a doctor or dentist office, that does not qualify as a hospital. There is no differentiation between a one- or two-person and a ten-person office. One method for allowing clinics on 12th Avenue and still protecting existing housing was offered by Mr. Lindberg. His criteria stated that clinics would be allowed as outright uses if: 1) at least half the floor area is housing, 2) the clinic has a certain level of intensity (three stores or more), 3) not more MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 17, 1982 Page 1
