4. PUBLIC HEARING: <br /> <br />An Ordinance Concerning Condominiums and Manufactured Dwelling Parks; Amending Sections <br />2.1060, 2.1064, 2.1070, and 2.1074 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and Declaring an Immediate Effec- <br />tive Date <br /> <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor asked Grants Manager for the Community Development Division of the Planning and <br />Development Department (PDD), Linda Dawson, to address this issue. <br /> <br />Ms. Dawson explained that the public hearing sought testimony on proposed code revisions governing <br />condominium conversions. She noted that the City regulated such conversions since 1981. She listed three <br />basic provisions to tenants in existing units and to potential purchasers that were listed in the code: <br /> <br />1. The developer is required to hire a housing counselor to assist the tenant in finding a comparable <br />unit; <br />2. Monetary benefits for moving costs are provided to special category tenants, i.e. people with low <br />incomes, elderly people, and persons with disabilities; <br />3. Purchasers are made aware of the building conditions. <br /> <br />Ms. Dawson stated that this issue had arisen from recent interest in condominium conversions. She said <br />four changes were being proposed and those changes had been reviewed by the Housing Policy Board <br />(HPB). The HPB forwarded a recommendation to adopt the ordinance. She listed the changes, as follows: <br /> <br />1. The requirement for a certified engineer report was changed to a requirement for a more commonly <br />available report from a reserve specialist; <br />2. The moving costs would be tied to the Federal Uniform Relocation Act, to ensure that costs were <br />kept current in the market; <br />3. The requirement for the city building inspection was being eliminated; <br />4. The tenant’s right to stay was being clarified so that it was understood the tenant had 120 days <br />from the time the application for the permit was received. <br /> <br />Ms. Dawson noted that action on this item was scheduled for July 10. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman asked if Springfield had the same language in an ordinance. Ms. Dawson replied that <br />she was not aware that the City of Springfield had such an ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman observed that the moving expenses were only reimbursable if the displaced tenant <br />moved within the City limits of Eugene. She felt that under this provision a tenant would be “almost <br />penalized” if he or she moved to Springfield. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman asked if any testimony had been received by the HPB regarding the reduction of time <br />the tenant had a right to remain in an apartment. Ms. Dawson responded that there had been some concern, <br />though no testimony, on this but she felt it was good to distinctly delineate the time period. She said it was <br />approximately the same amount of time, ultimately, but now it was clearly tied to the issuance of the <br />permit. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman asked Ms. Dawson to characterize the testimony on that issue given before the HPB. <br />Ms. Dawson replied that there had been a brief discussion of the HPB. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 26, 2006 Page 6 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
