IV. ACTION: An Ordinance Establishing a Broadway Overlay Zone; Amending Sections 9.1040, 9.6670, 9.8030, and 9.8865 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Adding Sections 9.4070 through 9.4090 to that Code; Amending the Eugene Overlay Zone Map; Adopting a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date. City Manager Carlson said staff would be available to answer questions. Councilor Kelly said he appreciated the feedback in the council packet about the issues that had been raised. He said he planned to make an amendment regarding the building entrance. He said there was a larger issue about notice of adjustment review. He suggested that, for land use decisions that had a public hearing component or an appeal component, data could be posted on the City website. Councilor Bettman said she would support the ordinance but was disappointed over the decision not to have three floors on buildings on the north side of Broadway. She also expressed hope that an incentive could be found to promote the construction of three floors. She also suggested it might be advantageous to find a way to make residences in the area soundproof. City Manager Carlson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4809, an ordinance establishing a Broadway Overlay Zone; amending Sections 9.1040, 9.6670, 9.8030 and 9.8865 of the Eugene Code, 1971; adding Sections 9.4070 through 9.4090 to that code; amending the Eugene Overlay Zone Map; adopting a severability clause; and providing an effective date. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor PapS, moved that the bill with unanimous consent of the council, be read a second time, by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at that time. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor PapS, moved to amend the motion by deleting the third sentence of Section 9.4085(3). In response to a question from Councilor Bettman regarding what the effects of the amendment might look like in a building, Kurt Yeiter of the Planning Division said there would be active office/commercial-type uses. He added that the first 15 feet that would abut Broadway would have businesses that were open to walk-in customers. Councilor Bettman said she would vote against the amendment. Roll call vote; the amendment passed, 5:2; councilors Bettman and Taylor voting in opposition. Roll call vote; the amended motion passed unanimously, 7:0. City Manager Carlson asked the council to consider Council 4809 by number only. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor PapS, moved that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Following up on her earlier comments, Councilor Taylor made a motion. MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 25, 2002 Page 8 Regular Meeting
