B. WORK SESSION: Implementing Measures for Chase Gardens Nodal <br /> Development Plan <br /> Ordinance No. 1: An Ordinance Concerning the Chase Nodal Development <br /> Area; Amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan and <br /> the Willakenzie Area Plan; Adopting a Severability Clause; and Providing an <br /> Effective Date; <br /> Ordinance No. 2: An Ordinance Concerning Nodal Development; Amending <br /> Sections 9.3000, 9.3020, 9.6000, 9.6725 and 9.8320 of the Eugene Code, <br /> 1971; and Providing an Effective Date; and <br /> Ordinance No. 3: An Ordinance Establishing a Chase Node Special Area <br /> Zone; Amending Sections 9.1030, 9.8030, 9.8865 and 9.9700 of the Eugene <br /> Code, 1971; Adding Sections 9.3100 to 9.3126 to That Code; Amending the <br /> Eugene Zoning Map; Amending the Eugene Overlay Zone Map; Adopting a <br /> Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date <br /> <br />The council was joined by Principle Planner Kurt Yeiter of the Planning and Development <br />Department. He reminded the council of its public hearing on the topic and indicated that the staff <br />response to the council's questions were included in the meeting packet. Action on the three <br />ordinances were scheduled on November 12. At that time, staff would also seek council approval <br />to begin acquisition of the Garden Way right-of-way. <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter noted that the materials before the council included sample motions reflecting the <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission. Those motions addressed the commercial <br />development potential of the Wylie Property east of Garden Way; the size of the commercial <br />center; the requirement for two functional floors in the commercial buildings abutting Garden Way; <br />a requirement that each business abutting a pedestrian-oriented street have an entrance facing <br />the street; and prohibitions on drive-through facilities in the node. He said that the materials <br />included some options to the commission's recommendations. <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter noted an error on pages 22-23 of the council packet, reporting that options regarding the <br />two-story requirement were erroneously included with the street entrance discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter noted that if the council made substantial changes to land uses in the node, the public <br />record would be reopened as requested during the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey called for council comments and questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said the plan was a fragile result of a number of compromises, and he was prepared to <br />support the five recommended options, which reaffirmed the recommendations of the Planning <br />Commission. He reminded the council that nodes were being created to reduce vehicle miles <br />traveled; without the plan, the result would be a suburban strip mall. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said that although the developer was eager to start work the council needed to keep in <br />mind that what it was considering was beyond the shod-term development. It was taking actions <br />that would affect how the area looked for 50 years. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ determined the zoning of the Wiley property was a combination of agricultural and <br />suburban residential as it was not annexed to the City; Mr. Yeiter indicated it was designated for <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 28, 2002 Page 4 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
