e e e Terry Street improvement would not be a substitute for the proposed construction. Mr. Bennett moved, seconded by Mr. Green, to amend the City's Capital Improvement Program to include Barger Drive at Beltline Road Project. Mr. Boles said that although he will support this motion he is reluctant to do so because it does not address the need for the expanded capacity that will be needed in the future and because it does not address the critical safety issue that has been raised. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. IV. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION/REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE RIVER ROAD AREA, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IRVING ROAD, BETWEEN RIVER ROAD AND NEWCASTLE (Klemp, AZ 89-5) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Cathy Czerniak, Planning and Development, briefly reviewed the criteria in the Eugene Code governing annexation and zone changes. She said that this annexation/zone change was requested by the property owners; if the request is approved by the council, it will be filed with the Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission as a council-initiated annexation in accordance with ORS Chapter 199. The property in question is contiguous to the existing city limits and is zoned County Neighborhood Commercial; property owners are requesting a rezoning of the property to an equivalent City Neighborhood Commercial zone. Ms. Czerniak noted that the Eugene Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this request for annexation and rezoning with the attachment of site review criteria to ensure buffering and compatibility with adjacent residential areas. If both the Boundary Commission and the council approves the annexation, the six-year tax differential plan will be applied. The property will be phased into the City tax rate over a six-year period. Ms. Czerniak responded to a question, saying that the Planning Commission requested site review because this property serves as a buffer between a major commercial area and a residential area. Responding to a question from Mr. Bennett, Ms. Czerniak said that the residential area being buffered is Low-Density Residential. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. Ann Klemp, 91562 Prairie Road, testified in favor of the annexation/zoning request. As the property owner of the piece of property in question she requested to have a continuation of the neighborhood commercial zoning on the property. Jerry Finigan, 1250 Irvington Drive, speaking on behalf the Santa Clara Community Organization, said that it has no objection to this annexation MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 22, 1990 Page 6
