e Mr. Rutan moved, seconded by Mr. Boles, to approve the items on the City Council consent calendar, as amended. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. II. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION/REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE RIVER ROAD AREA, BETWEEN THE NORTHWEST EXPRESSWAY AND GLORY DRIVE, SOUTH OF ELKAY DRIVE (AZ 91-7) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Carol Heinkel, Planning and Development Department, summarized the code criteria necessary for annexation and zone change. She noted that these criteria apply to both annexation requests being considered this evening. Ms. Heinkel said that this property owner-initiated request was submitted by Green Valley Company of Oregon, which owns Tax Lots 1500 and 1600. The re- quest includes 4 parcels; Tax Lots 1502 and 1901 are owned by the City of Eugene and the Eugene & Water Electric Board (EWEB). These parcels are va- cant lots in the developed residential area of River Road. If approved, the applicant intends to develop the property for residential purposes. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this request and recommended approval. It also recommended approval of zoning to low-density residential with site review criteria applied to Tax lots 1500, 1600, and 1502. Mr. Boles asked about the status of the parcels owned by the City of Eugene. In response, Pat Decker, Planning and Development Department, said that both e of the parcels are owned by EWEB and have transmission lines located along them. The City does not contemplate using them for other purposes. She explained further that it is the City's practice to annex publicly owned parcels when they are adjacent to properties being requested for annexation. Mr. Gleason added that technically the land in question is owned by the City of Eugene by and for the use of EWEB. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, the public hearing was closed. Res. No. 4260--A resolution furthering annexation to the city of Eugene and the Lane County Metropolitan Service District for property located in the River Road area, between the Northwest Express- way and Glory Drive, south of Elkay Drive. (Withdrawal from River Road Park and Recreation and Water Districts will be processed separate- ly if the annexation is approved.) Final Order AZ 91-7--A final order rezoning the property from County RA/UL to City R-1 with site review subdistrict to Tax Lots 1500, 1600, and 1502. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 22, 1991 Page 2
