D. LCDC Plan Compliance Evaluation; State Greenway Goal Manager read the Planning Commission recommendation as set out in its official report of February 9, 1976 finding Eugene's comprehensive plan in compliance with ~ State goals and guidelines and requesting the Council to request LCDC acknowledg- ~ ment of such compliance. Also, recommending that the Council advise LCDC that Eugene's work program for compliance with the State's Greenway goal shall be com- pleted by December 1976. Sill Sugaya, planning department. said the staff had been working on this ptogra~ since the latter part of 1975, it was submitted to neighborhood groups and other interested organizations, and recommended for submittal to LCDC by the end of February as required. He explained that the Council would be advised if any problems were encountered in LCDC consideration. Public hearing was opened. Ellis Jones, 1030 Coburg Road, speaking for himself and other property owners in the Goodpasture Island 'area, said he felt the city was not in compliance with LCDC goals and guidelines with regard to citizen involvement and land use planning. He said the city had acted unilaterally in amending its General Plan with regard to the Goodpasture Island area, changing that area from an opportunity area to medium-residential, which would have far-reaching regional significance affecting Lane County and Springfield. He said that citizen involvement was frustrated be- cause Planning Commission meetings were held at noon, that citizens did not have the opportunity to review and make recommendations on proposed changes, as they should have under LCDC Guideline 1, prior to the public hearing process. He claimed viOlation of the public meeting law, saying there were no minutes or other record of those meetings. Mr. Jones continued that their group requested establihsment of procedures for amendment of the Plan prior to public hearing, yet e no action was taken on that request. Procedures were set on the spur of the moment, he said, and only for the hearing in question; he felt that to be unfair, arbitrary, discriminatory treatment. He quoted from minutes of various meetings _ LCOG, MAPAC, etc. - with regard to the change on Goodpasture Island, and reitereated his position that the procedure for amending the General Plan did not comply with LCDC Goals 1 and 2. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Mr.. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to request acknowledgment from LCDC that Eugene's comprehensive plan is in compliance with State goals and guidelines, and advise LCDC that Eugene's work program for compliance with the Greenway Goal will be completed by December 1976.
