Wouldlike to oppose it, but it would leave Eugene without a seat at the table to influenceits design. <br />•Councilor Pryor proposed opposition unless it’s amended so Eugene could continueto have a seat at the table to influence the design of a bill that has a good chance ofpassage. Would like to see amendments that would allow more local control. <br />•Councilor Clark said the legislature should care what Eugene thinks of the bill—itwould be sad if they do not. Would like Eugene to oppose it outright. <br />•Councilor Syrett asked a question about the City’s rules about subdivisions in R1 notpermitting a subdivision to be entirely comprised of middle housing. Would like tooppose even if she supports some of the bill’s goals because it preempts localauthority. <br />•Councilor Semple did not like the preemption or lack of citizen involvement in theprocess. Asked staff for clarification about what direct opposition of the bill willmean for Eugene’s ability to impact the drafting process. Expressed concern forwhether the City will still be able to set rules about density, and asked a questionabout parking requirements. Opposed the preemption of home rule. <br />•Councilor Yeh said she does not like the bill, but would like the City’s legislative staffto be empowered to influence the bill. <br />•Councilor Zelenka expressed concerns about the IGR process and the ability for allcouncilors to be kept abreast of developments with the State legislature.
