Ordinance 4: An Ordinance Concerning Chapter 9 Parking Requirements; Amending Sections 9.2173, 9.6410, and 9.6430 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Adopting a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date; and Ordinance 5: An Ordinance Concerning Amendments to Entertainment and Recreation Uses, Parking Area Landscaping Standards, and Other Provisions of Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Adopting a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date; and Ordinance 6: An Ordinance Concerning Quasi-Judicial Procedures; Repealing Sections 2.390, 2.391, 2.392, 2.393, 2.394, 2.395, 2.396, 2.397, 2.398, 2.399, and 2.400 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and Amending Section 2.1066 of That Code Planning and Development Department Director Tom Coyle introduced Ordinances 4, 5, and the second set of Fall 2002 Land Use Code Amendments. He called the council's attention to a table distributed with the council packet, Highlights of Remaining Fall 2002 Land Use Code Ordinances, which outlined the key ordinance changes, the Planning Division staff recommendation, the Planning Commission staff recommendation, and the key community impacts. He said the commission held a public hearing on the ordinances and several work sessions. The recommendation from the commission was summarized in the table. He noted unanimity on the part of commissioners on the recommendations before the council, with the exception of standards in Ordinance 5 related to building expansion and parking area landscaping standards. Mr. Coyle invited questions. Mayor Torrey asked the council to consider the ordinances by exception. Mr. Kelly pulled the section related to shared parking for clarification, pulled the section on parking for high schools for a policy discussion, and noted the section entitled Clarify Standards for Park Uses in Ordinance 5 had been pulled for further work. Teresa Bishow of the Planning Division said staff proposed to defer discussion of that section so that concerns raised by Mr. Kelly and Ms. Bettman could be discussed with Parks Planning staff. Councilors had no objection. Mr. Kelly also raised a miscellaneous item related to Ordinance 5 regarding the requirement of "canopy" trees. Mr. Pap~ wanted to pull Ordinance 4. Ms. Bettman also wanted to pull Ordinance 4. She was concerned about Section 8 in Ordinance 5, the special standards for Table 9.27(~0; Section 9, small lot standards; and Section 24, adjustment review approval criteria; and wanted to pull Ordinance (~. The council first considered Ordinance 4. Referring to Section 9.(~430, Mr. Kelly said he initially did not understand the new language proposed by staff regarding shared parking. He now understood the intent was to create two mechanisms to allow shared parking to be a benefit, one through the existing adjustment review process and one through the new 25-percent automatic reduction. His only remaining concern MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 27, 2003 Page 4 Work Session
