Gioello www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5453 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex a vacant parcel located on 1127 and 1129 Maclay Drive. The parcel to be annexed is approximately 0.29 acres (12,632 square feet) and is developed with a residential duplex. No public right-of-way is proposed for annexation as part of this request. A vicinity map is provided as Attachment A. The property is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential with /UL Urbanizable Land overlay. The property is designated for low density residential use in the Metro Plan and the applicable refinement plan, the River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan. The area of annexation is located within the City’s urban growth boundary and is contiguous to the City limits along its north property boundary. Annexation will allow for future redevelopment consistent with the property’s land use designation and the Eugene Code. Specific plans for future redevelopment of the site are not included as part of this annexation application. BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that ultimately all land within the UGB will be annexed into the City and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans; and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the attached draft resolution (Attachment B).
