January 13, 2020, Meeting – Item 3D EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Adoption of a Resolution Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (Assessor’s Map 17-04-02-14, Tax Lot 100, Located at 4199 Scenic Drive) (City File: Senderling, Claire; A-19-5) Meeting Date: January 13, 2020 Agenda Item Number: 3D Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Jeff Gepper www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5282 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex approximately 0.52 acre (~22,500 square feet) of developed land located at 4199 Scenic Drive. No public right-of-way is proposed for annexation as part of this request, and there is no formal deadline for City Council action on this item. A vicinity map is provided as Attachment A. The property is zoned AG Agricultural 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 development plans for future of 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).
