e Suburban Residential District to City RA Suburban Residential District; and from City RA Suburban District to City C-2/SR Community Commercial District with Site Review Procedures, and application of outlying Commercial Sign District (Anso1a/Harrang) (A/Z 82-7) (map, background information distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Jim Croteau, Planning. Mr. Croteau said that the request involved 28 acres on the eastern slope of the laurel Hill Valley and included both annexation of property and rezoning of some property that is already in the City. He said that the proposed zonings and rezonings would provide 12.5 acres for commercial use, 2.5 acres for residential/professional use, 3.3 acres for medium-density residential use, and 10 acres for low-density residential use. He said the request was an implementation of the laurel Hill Refinement Plan Update, which would serve the commercial needs of the laurel Hill Valley and also provide an anchor point for a tourist-related commercial node near Interstate 5. Mr. Croteau said that the urban growth boundary in the area is the ridgeline and that there would likely be future annexations in the area. He said that the subject property fell within the boundaries of the South Hills Study and that addition of the site review suffix had been recommended for the residential and residential/professional properties, to address the concerns raised in that study. Mr. Croteau noted that the laurel Hill Neighborhood Association Planning Team had testified in support of the request at the Planning Commission hearing. Mr. Croteau said that the Planning Commission had voted unanimously to recommend the zone change and annexation. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by councilors. ~ Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. Harry Nelson, of the firm Pogue and Rice, said that he represented the applicant and requested time for rebuttal in the event that testimony was made in opposition to the request. e There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Res. No. 3757--A resolution forwarding a recommendation to the Boundary Commission for annexation of property located generally east of laurel Hill Drive, south of G1enwood Drive (Tax lots 103, 200, 300, 1100, 1200) to the City of Eugene and lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that findings supporting the annexation as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of February 1, 1983, be adopted by reference thereto; and that the resolution be adopted.
