~ ~ ~ 4 M I NUT E S Eugene City Council e Work Session Bethel/Danebo Refinement Plan McNutt Room, City Hall August 11, 1982 1:00 p.m. PRESENT: Mayor Gus Keller; John Ball, D. W. Hamel, Mark Lindberg, Gretchen Miller, Emily Schue, Betty Smith, Eugene City Council; City Manager Micheal Gleason; Irv Berman, Public Works; Pat Decker, Bill French, Planning. Mr. French said that the plan before the council was an update of the Bethell Danebo Neighborhood Refinement Plan, which was adopted in 1975. He said that the area covered by the plan included the area represented by the Active Bethel Citizens and Bethel Triangle neighborhood associations. He said that the plan covered land both within the City limits and outside the City limits but within the urban growth boundary. Mr. French said that, in response to elements of the recently adopted Metropolitan Area General Plan, the updated plan included establishment of three new development nodes in the Bethel/Danebo area and movement of the urban growth boundary from Terry Street west to Greenhill Road. Mr. French then discussed the three development nodes. He said that the node located on Barger Drive between Highway 99 North and Beltline Road called for e the following uses: 5 acres commercial land, 16 acres high density residential land, and 71 acres medium density residential land. Mr. French said that the node at Royal Avenue and Danebo Street totaled 40 acres, with 10 acres of commercial land and the remaining 30 acres designated for residential use. He said that selection of a location for the third node had been based on need to balance resources available and that this node had been designated for the north side of Royal Avenue, between Terry Street and Greenhill Road. This node would contain 5 acres of commercial land and approximately 20 acres of medium density residential land. Mr. French said that these nodes had been established to accomplish the intent of the Metropolitan Area General Plan to provide for efficient use of energy and resources by locating residences near shopping and employment areas. He said that the nodes would also provide alternative housing types in the Bethel/Danebo area. Mr. French indicated that the two nodes located on Royal Avenue would serve as a resource for the industrial areas located to the south. Mr. French said that citizen involvement in the refinement plan update was good, with two planning teams representing the Active Bethel Citizens area and one representing the Bethel Triangle Neighbors. He said that these planning teams had made presentations to and received feedback from the neighbhorhood groups. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council Work Session August 11, 1982 Page 1
