PUBLIC HEAR1NG: Remanded Needed Housing Code Provisions Ordinance A: May 2003 Ordinance Concerning Remanded Needed Housing Provisions Ordinance B: Planning Commission Recommended Ordinance Concerning Remanded Needed Housing Provisions City Manager Dennis Taylor introduced Jan Childs, Planning Director for the Planning and Development Department, who provided the staff presentation on the item. Ms. Childs stated that this was a public hearing on ordinances to reinstate provisions of the Eugene Land Use Code remanded by the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) for reasons related to the State's needed housing statutes. She explained that Ordinance A had been prepared by the City Attorney at the direction of the council to reinstate all of the provisions and that Ordinance B was the recommendation of the Planning Commission and would reinstate most of the provisions, but not all of them. She noted that the changes that were recommended by the Planning Commissioner were listed on pages 144 and 145 of the council agenda packet and that Planning Commission President Adell McMillan would speak to those recommendations in the public hearing. She added that responses to most of the questions that had arisen in the City Council work session held on June 23 had been included on pages 145 and 146 of the agenda packet. Regarding the question that had been included on the list of council assignments, she said that the response would be provided in the council packet due out on July 31. Ms. Childs called attention to the staff response to Question 1. She said that staff had prepared an amendment, for council consideration, that would clarify the width of public ways for bicycle and pedestrian use. Additionally, she noted that staff had reviewed the rewrite of Section 9.6815(e), shown renumbered as (d) in the ordinances, to see if clear and objective language could be developed to better address the entire remanded provision. She stated that staff was unable to do so and recommended that the council consider deleting this amendment prior to adoption. In closing, Ms. Childs said that it had been an honor and privilege to serve the City Council of Eugene over the last 14 years. Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing.
