Motion carried unanimously. e CB 2254--An ordinance authorizing rezoning from County RA Suburban Resi- dential District to City RA Suburban Residential District for property located within the area bounded by West 18th Avenue, Bertelsen Road, Bailey Hill Road, and Four Oaks Grange Road. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that findings supporting the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of January 6, 1981, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Mr. Obie explained to Ms. Davies that this is one of the problem areas council has in the various plans, starting with the 1990 Plan. These plans declare this area will ultimately be urban with sewers and other City services. The City has been annexing property in this area for several years. This is a continued implementation of those plans the City has relied on. It is very difficult for the council to change that direction. The plans have taken many years to develop. Because of the plans and the goals of the council, the council is committed to urban development in the area. The City will have services that go beyond the Davies' property and those urban services will be needed. Mr. Gleason asked that Mr. Croteau or the Planning staff discuss the consequences and details of the processes with Ms. Davies. e Ms. Miller asked if the council bill they were voting on included the Residen- tial Sign District. Mr. Gleason said that it did. Motion for second reading carried unanimously. Council Bill 2254 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18761. II. CONDEMNATION AUTHORIZATION--SOUTH HILLS RIDGELINE ACQUISITION (memo and map distributed) Manager introduced Walt Haniuk. Mr. Haniuk said this item comes to the council because of a difficult purchase situation. It is a project that the City and the Parks Department have had on schedule for six to eight months. It is an acquisition project in the ridgeline which is part of the continuing ridgeline program established in 1974. The request was prompted by the fact that the voluntary negotiations have come to a stalemate by pending litigation on the property, and it appears that this pending litigation may not be resolved for e MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 9, 1981 Page 3
