<br />e <br /> <br />Gary Chenkin, Planning, who was filling in for Terri Vanderpool. Mr. Chenkin <br />discussed the work program for the process review and used a flip chart to <br />present the proposed guidelines for streamlining land use application processes. <br />He said that the guidelines had been reviewed and recommended by the Coordinated <br />Permit Counter Task Team (CPCTT), the Economic Diversification Task Team (EDTT), <br />the Citizen Involvement Committee (CIC), and the Planning Commission. Mr. <br />Chenkin gave some examples of inconsistencies in various existing City land use <br />application processes and said that the guidelines emphasized the need for <br />uniformity and consistency. He discussed each of the seven guidelines: <br /> <br />1) Reduce, combine, or eliminate processes or steps within processes <br />whenever possible; examples--one of the existing three stages of the planned <br />unit development process could be eliminatedt and many easement vacations could <br />be handled on an administrative level rather than being referred, as they now <br />are, to the City Council. <br /> <br />2) Define the appropriate level of review for each type of application; <br />example--provide a hierachy in which issues without major policy implications <br />are dealt with at the administrative level or heard by the Hearings Official, <br />issues with major policy implications are heard by the Planning Commission, <br />and the City Council hears amendments to ordinances or appeals of Planning <br />Commission actions. <br /> <br />3) Establish a maximum time frame within which all applications will <br />receive final action by the City; in enacting this guideline, the applicant's <br />need for rapid processing would need to be balanced with opportunity for citizen <br />involvement. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />4) Provide a maximum of one public hearing for initial application <br />review, recognizing that some types of applications may not require hearings. <br /> <br />5) Provide for one local appeal hearing for all types of applications--for <br />example, provide for administrative decisions to be heard by the Hearings <br />Official; Hearings Official decisions to be heard by the Planning Commission; <br />and Planning Commission decisions to be heard by the City Council. <br /> <br />6) Where possible, make provisions for expedited processes, which would <br />allow certain public hearing requirements to be bypassed if there is no public <br />interest in them. <br /> <br />7) Maintain consistency in general provisions common to most processes--for <br />example, public notice requirements, time frame for submission of appeals, and <br />time frame for referrals of applications should each be uniform for all processes. <br /> <br />Councilor Obie asked what the next step would be in the process, assuming that <br />the council endorsed the guidelines. Mr. Chenkin said that staff would draft <br />amendments to the City Code, working with interested groups such as neighborhood <br />organizations and the Homebuilders Association that commonly make applications <br />or respond to them. He said that the Citizen Involvement Committee would be <br />consulted for suggestions of groups to be contacted. Mr. Chenkin said that <br />these proposed amendments would then be brought before the Planning Commission <br />and City Council. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />January 12, 1983 <br /> <br />Page 7 <br />
