Regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller. Mayor Keller welcomed Scout Troop 22. I. PUBLIC HEARINGS e A. Appeal of Planning Commission action denying a rezoning request for property located on the south side of West 11th Avenue, between Bailey Hill Road and Buck Street, from M-2 Light Industrial District to C-2 Community Commercial District (Phillip Marvin) (Z 81-18) (memo, map, and background material distributed) City Manaqer Micheal Gleason introduced Terry Jones, Planning. Ms. Jones said that the subject property is located on the south side of West 11th Avenue, approximately 500 feet west of Seneca Road, directly across from property recently rezoned to accommodate a Fred Meyer store. She said the request was for a change from M-2 Light Industrial District to C-2 Community Commercial District and involved two tax lots which are separated by 60 feet of City-owned property. She said approximately two acres of land was involved in the request. The .75 acres in the eastern parcel is developed with Cowboy Country, a ranch and farm wholesale and retail business. The 1.3 acres in the western parcel is vacant. The western parcel was created by a land partition which took place in 1981. Ms. Jones said that the south side of West 11th Avenue is zoned M-2. She said that the eastern parcel abuts a fast food restaurant on the east and a tool company on the south. The western parcel abuts a pizza parlor on the west and is vacant on the south. Ms. Jones said that the eastern parcel received conditional use permit approval in 1980, to allow establishment of the existing Cowboy Country business. She said that the Planning Commission originally heard the present request in a public hearing on December 1, 1981, and voted 5:2 to table the request until a study was completed of the West 11th commercial strip. On January 18, 1982, the Planning Commission reconsidered that decision and, by a vote of 2:5, failed to approve the zone change, thus denying it. Ms. Jones said that the reasons given for the denial were the need for a study of the West 11th commercial corridor to be completed before any further commercial rezonings are granted, and the fact that the West Eugene Industrial Study indicates that the area within the study boundaries should retain industrial zoning. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 12, 1982 Page 1
