e e e M I NUT E S Eugene City Council McNutt Room--City Hall June 8, 1992 5:30 p.m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Mayor Jeff Miller, Shawn Boles, Bobby Green, Ruth Bascom, Randy MacDonald, Paul Nicholson, Kaye Robinette, Roger Rutan, Debra Ehrman (after 5:45 p.m.). I. WORK SESSION: WILLAKENZIE AREA REFINEMENT PLAN Mayor Miller introduced Allen Lowe of the Planning and Development Department. Mr. Lowe said that Mr. Nicholson, Ms. Ehrman, and Ms. Bascom toured the Willakenzie area and viewed the sites that will be discussed during this work session. Mr. Lowe said the issues to be addressed were as follows: minimum residential development density standards; North Delta Highway; Ayres Road; a new collector street south of Gilham Road; the classification of Satre-Van Duyn as a collector street; Gillespie Butte height restrictions; and a high density Metro Plan amendment request. A. Minimum Residential Development Density Standards Mr. Lowe pointed out that in the packet was a comparison of the Planning Team recommendations and those of the Planning Commission. He said that the Plan- ning Team's recommendations based on the Metro Plan assumptions for low-, medium-, and high-density residential designations indicated that there would be 1,700 total units in the area designated for Metro Plan amendments for residential development. Mr. Lowe stated that there are four sites on which residential development is unlikely: Willagillespie School, Sacred Heart Hospital, Meadowlark Elementary School, and Marist High School. This reduces the number of units that are likely to be built by 1,440 units. Therefore, the Planning Team recommendations, based on Metro Plan assumptions, would result in a 260-unit increase in residential units. The recommendations of the Planning Commission would result in an increase of 590 residential units (based on Metro Plan assumptions). However, the Planning Commission is also recommending minimum density stan- dards for medium- and high-density development. Assuming those standards, rather than Metro Plan assumptions, results in a deficit of 60 dwelling units. Mr. Lowe explained that a deficit would result because the Planning Commission recommends that high-density development be assumed at 15 units per acre rather than the assumption of 25 units per acre (as in the Metro Plan current- ly) .
