November 25, 2019, Meeting – Item 2C EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Adoption of a Resolution Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (Assessor’s Map 17-04-23-42, Tax Lot 3900 Located West of 830 Willow Avenue) (City File: Steinhouse, Elizabeth; A 19-7) Meeting Date: November 25, 2019 Agenda Item Number: 2C Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Althea Sullivan www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5485 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex an approximately 0.19 acre (8,276 square foot) parcel of vacant land located to the west of 830 Willow Avenue. No public right-of-way is proposed for annexation as part of this request. A vicinity map is provided as Attachment A. The property is zoned R-1 Low-Density Residential with /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay. Both the Metro Plan and the applicable refinement plan, the River Road – Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan, designate the subject property for Low Density Residential use. The property is located within the Urban Growth Boundary and is contiguous to other properties in the City limits along the northern property boundary. Annexation will allow for future development consistent with the property’s land-use designation and the Eugene Code. Specific future development plans for the site are not included as part of this annexation application. BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that, ultimately, all land within the UGB will be annexed into the City and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans; and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the attached draft resolution (Attachment B).
