Annexation and Zoning Area south of Belt Line between Goodpasture Island Road and Willamette River _ II-A-3 From County AGT and City AG to R-2 PD (Hewitt, Kingsley, et al)(A 76-7 and Z 76-17) Recommended by the Planning Commission on June 8, 1976. Jim Saul, planner, ex- plained the application covered a voluntary request for annexation of 116 acres as well as zoning to R-2 on 133 acres, representing a number of different owner- ships, all lying in the northern portion of the Goodpasture Island area. The Planning Commission, he said, felt annexation as requested was appropriate because the property was centrally located and completely surrounded by the city; development of the property would have an excellent effect on development patterns in the area, giving the city direct control under planned unit pro- cedures on the type of development to occur; the property is within the urban service boundary and would promote the compact urban growth policy; public services are available - approximately one-half can be served by the Willakenzie trunk sewer, the southern portion can be served by a temporary system to the -- existing pump station, a fire station has just been completed at Kingsley and Goodpasture Island Roads, police department can provide protection, EWEB water and electric service is available, and the parks department contemplates its land acquisition program will include some park land in that area. He said that when the Commission considered the annexation, it included two small par- cels that were not included in the initial application, the owners of neither presenting any objection to their property's being included. Mr. Saul continued that the acreage on which R-2 zoning was requested was larger than that petitioned for annexation because the zoning application took in an area in Mr. Hewitt's ownership previously annexed which retained the basic AG zoning. He said the attorneys had seen no legal problems with taking action on both the annexation and zoning applications at this time, noting that the ordinance effecting the zoning would be written so as to make that zoning effective at the same time affirmative action is taken by the Boundary Commis- sion on the annexation request. Mr. Saul said findings supporting the zoning' were set out in staff notes, previously distributed to Council members. Also, that the proposed R-2 zone basically would go along with the recent Plan amend- ment designating this general area as suitable for medium-density residential use. As to public need, ~rr. Saul said that the Commission's recommendation contained findings dealing with the relationship of housing needs in the com- munity and the long-range development plan of this area, particularly as to its effect on central city areas and opportunity to provide for conservation within the central city neighborhoods. No ex parte contacts or reasons, for conflict of interest were de- -- clared by Council members. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of June 8, 1976 were received as part of this record by reference thereto. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. 8/9/76 - 10 3QCp
