On February 26, 2001. Ordinance No. 20224 was passed by the City' Council and <br /> <br />approved by the Mayor, adopting a new land use code for the City (Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, <br />1971 )~ Section 7 of that Ordinance was subsequently amended on May 29, 2001 by Ordinance No. <br />20229 to provide an effective date of August 1, 2001, for Ordinance No. 20224. Some corrections <br />and rninor amendments to some provisions of Chapter 9 were effected by Ordinance No. 20235 <br />passed by the City' Council and approved by the Mayor on October 8,2001 and Ordinance No. 20238 <br />passed by the City' Council and approved by the Mayor on December 10, 2001. <br /> <br /> B. The adoption of Ordinance No. 20224 was appealed to the Land Use Board of <br /> <br />Appeals (LUBA) on March 19, 2001. On February 28, 2002, LUBA issued its decision remanding <br />the adoption of Ordinance 20224 back to the City. LUBA's remand of the new land use code was <br />based on its determinations that: 1) some sections contain standards or criteria for "needed housing" <br />applications which are not "clear and objective." 2) some sections decrease or increase the level of <br />protection for areas on the City' s acknowledged Goal 5 inventory but the City has not yet shown that <br />those changes are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 5; and 3) some sections could decrease <br />the Ci~'s supply of commercial, industrial or residential land but the City has not yet shown that <br />those sections are consisren~ with Statewide Planning Goals 9 or 10. The effect of LUBA's remand <br />is to render Ordinance No. 20224 ineffective. <br /> <br />Ordinance- 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
