Property located on the east side of Prairie Road and south of Beltline from County M-3 Heavy Industrial District to City M-2 Light Industrial District and City Industrial Sign District (Lloyd Maxwell) (AZ 82-1) (map, background information distributed) Recommended approval by Planning Commission September 21, 1982 Vote--5: 0 Mr. Gleason introduced Jim Croteau, Planning. Mr. Croteau said that property involved in the request included 8.3 acres located on the east side of Prairie Road, south of Beltline Road. He said that the Metropolitan Area General Plan designated the property for Light- to Medium-Industrial use. He said the parcel was surrounded by vacant and developed industrial properties. Mr. Croteau said that this was the first non-contiguous annexation proposal to be brought before the council as a result of the policy on such annexations adopted by the council in July 1982. He read the three criteria contained in that policy. He said that the present request complied with all three criteria, since 1) the property was located within the urban growth boundary and its annexation was consistent with the Metropolitan Area General Plan and other adopted City policies; 2) a minimum level of key urban services was available to the property, and the e property did fit in with the long-term service plans for the area; and 3) the annexation was completely voluntary and represented the wishes of the majority of owners (in this case one owner) of both the land value and land area involved in the request. Mr. Croteau emphasized that the non-contiguous annexation policy adopted by the council applied only to industrial land and would not affect the requirement that residential and commercial annexations must be contiguous. Mr. Croteau noted that the Planning Commission had considered this matter on September 21, 1982, and had recommended approval. Mr. Croteau said that the annexation request had been referred to the public agencies and utilities involved but that efforts to coordinate fire protection for the site were still being pursued by City Fire Chief Ev Hall, who was working with the Lane Rural Fire Protection District (LRFPD) to develop a means whereby the City could contract back to LRFPD for service. Mr. Croteau suggested that the council take public testimony on the request but leave the matter open for one month" until these arrangements can be resolved. He said after such resolution staff would return to the council with a recommendation on the annexation and zone change request. Public hearing was opened. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 25, 1982 Page 7
