e V. RIVER ROAD-SANTA CLARA URBAN FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE (memo, background information distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item, stating that discus- sion on the item was related to the following agenda item. He suggested that it might be necessary during the discussion of the subsequent item for council to consider meeting in executive session. Tom Hayes of the Planning Depart- ment presented the staff report, reviewing the April 25, 1984, Planning Department memorandum to the City Council. He added that the Citizen Advisory Team has been working with staff to develop solutions for development in the River Road/Santa Clara area. Mr. Hayes stressed that the work of the CAT and the policy group emphasized the importance of the River Road/Santa Clara area to the entire metropolitan area. e In regard to the sanitary sewer planning, Mr. Hayes stated that the council had previously held a work session on this item and had received the final draft prior to the April 10 public hearing. He stated that the planning process was an attempt to balance the assurances to the Department of Envi- ronmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency concerning the $7 million grant with the mandate from the Metro Plan to address the concerns of the River Road/Santa Clara area residents with regard to the implementation of the sewer project. He stated that the council will be having another work session with the Planning Commission and a pUblic hearing on the final draft plan during May. He stressed that the key factor in the plan was its timing in balancing the needs of DEQ and the concerns of the residents. He explained that staff was working toward a compromise between the DEQ proposed schedule for implementation and staff1s proposal while ensuring that all sewer hookups will be performed by 2000. Mr. Hayes reviewed the major issues in the land use element of the plan as listed in the memorandum. He stated that the goals and objectives developed by the CAT in late 1983 were refined by staff into findings, policies and implementation actions which were included in the second draft of Chapter II of the land use element. A copy of this chapter was provided to council to facilitate some understanding of the dialogue occurring in the area. Refer- ring to Map 2.1 of the River Road/Santa Clara area, he then pinpointed the opportunity sub-areas identified by staff which focused on the land use issues. In regard to the time line for the plan, Mr. Hayes stated that the sanitary sewer plan was in the final draft stage and that staff expected to revise the draft in May and submit it to DEQ in July or August. He stated that the CAT has been working on the land use element since October 1983 and that a public hearing was tentatively scheduled for August. Mr. Hayes stated that the staff hoped to coordinate work on the transportation element with the modeling study for the T-2000 Plan scheduled for the fall of 1984. He stated that the other elements of the plan were currently on schedule for the two and one-half year schedule originally set by staff. Ms. Smith left the meeting at this time. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 25, 1984 Page 5
