. M E M 0 RAN DUM e October 10, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: ANNEXATION AND ZONE CHANGE FOR GREENHILL TECHNOLOGY PARK SITE On September 24, 1985, the Eugene Planning Commission recommended 5:1 to the City Council annexation/zoning of the above-referenced request. The site involves 139.35 acres incorporatina 13 tax lots in five ownerships. The proposal is being processed as a triple-majority request. ft is located north of West 11th Avenue and east of Greenhill Road. At the extreme corners of the area are located a small, older wood-frame house, service station, and a post and pole business. The site is bounded on the east by the existing city limits, on the south by West 11th Avenue, on the west by Greenhill Road (being the westerly boundary for the urban growth boundary), and the Coos Bay branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad on the north. Responses from utility providers, both public and private, indicate a full range of servic~s are available. The proposal is e consistent with the City of Eugene's criteria for annexation, recognizing that a logical and orderly extension of urban services can be provided to the site and the area will be a logical extension of the city boundary consistent with the r~tro Plan. The applicant requests a zone change from Lane County C-2, Commercial Dis- trict, to C-2, Eugene General Commercial District for Tax lot 602 (existing service station site on the northeast corner of West 11th Avenue and Greenhill Road) and for the balance of the site from County M-2/ICU, Industrial/Commer- cial Urbanization District, to 1-1 Special light Industrial District. The site is not presently designated by the Metropolitan Plan as one of the specific Special light Industrial sites. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends that the applicant's proposal of 1-1 Special Light Industrial District is not consistent at this time with the existing Metropolitan Area General Plan and is therefore recommending 1-2 Light-Medium Industrial Dis- trict and C-2 General Commercial District for Tax Lot 602. If the change in Metro Plan designation occurs, the City will initiate a change in zone for the industrial portion to 1-1 in the future. The commission also recommends the application of Industrial Sign District designation to the industrial portion and Outlying Commercial to Tax Lot 602, the commercial portion of the proposal. At the Planning Commission public hearing, no opposition to the proposed annexation was presented. The Planning Department is requesting that the City Council pass a resolution recommending annexation to the Lane County Boundary Commission. e
