If successful, he said the annexation proposal will go the Boundary Commission e in late fall or early winter of that year. He said it would require a special election in March 1985 and would include two proposals due to the different tax rate proposals for River Road and Santa Clara. Councilor Ehrman entered the meeting at this time. City Manager Micheal Gleason explained that if neither River Road nor Santa Clara wished to enter the city as a collective group, then the residents would study and examine voting patterns and initiate annexation petitions for those areas favoring annexation. He said the City was still willing to incrementally annex the area. Mr. Hayes stated that a joint resolution by the three jurisdictions in 1983 directed a service plan to be conducted for River Road/Santa Clara. He said staff first concentrated on the Sanitary Sewer Service Plan but has since been working on the Lane Use Element. He said the Urban Facilities Plan was composed of Land Use, Transportation, Public Service and Utilities, and Community Design elements. Referring to the time line attached to the materials distributed to the council, Mr. Hayes said it appeared that staff would meet its Fall 1985 adoption deadline for the Urban Facilties Plan. He explained that the Metro Plan required that a retirement plan be developed due to the metropolitan-wide signficance of the River Road/Santa Clara area. He sta ted that the refinement plan had been in the Lane County work plan for several years but that there had been insufficient staff resources to develop the plan. Mr. Hayes said the draft Land Use Element to be distributed to the public was e approved by the Citizen Advisory Team (CAT) and the Policy Committee. He sa i d a joint CAT/Policy Committee public hearing was scheduled for October 10 in the River Road/Santa Clara area. He said staff will then refine the draft as necessary and submit the element to the CAT and Policy Committee for final approval. The element will be forwarded to the three jurisdictions for their adoption independent of the rest of the Urban Facilities Plan because of the need for policy direction. Referring to the Land Use map, Mr. Hayes briefly reviewed the Whitus property issue in which LUBA had remanded the rezoning issue back to Lane County with the understanding that Lane County would change its approval of the zone change contingent on the outcome of the Urban Facilities Plan. Mr. Hayes then reviewed the major land use concerns and recommendations as contained in the draft Land Use Element. Planning Director Susan Brody stated that the City Council will have a work session on the Land Use Element prior to its public hearing on the issue. The work session was adjourned at 1:20 p.m. ::spe::~u~ ~, . ~ r Micheal D. Gleason Ci ty Manager e (Recorded by Thom Strunk) TS:pv/CM8a8 MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 12, 1984 Page 9
