Exhibit B Findings Addressing Eugene Code 9.8065 Secondary /Accessory Dwellings (City File CA 18-1) Findings Eugene Code Section 9.8065 requires that the following approval criteria (in bold italics) be applied to a land use code amendment: (1) The amendment is consistent with applicable statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement. To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The City has acknowledged provisions for community involvement which insure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements for such involvement. These land use code amendments do not amend the citizen involvement program. The process for adopting these amendments complied with Goal 1 because the process is consistent with the City's acknowledged citizen involvement provisions for code amendments, as codified in the City's land use code. For the initial adoption, a Notice of Proposed Amendment was filed with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development on January 30, 2018. A public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on March 6, 2018. Consistent with land use code requirements, the Planning Commission public hearing on the proposal was duly noticed to all neighborhood organizations in Eugene, as well as community groups and individuals who requested notice. On March 26, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the proposed the amendments. On March 27, 2018, a Revised Notice of Proposed Amendment was filed with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, incorporating the Planning Commission's recommendations to the amendments. A public hearing before the City Council was held April 16, 2018. Prior to the hearing, notice of the public hearing was mailed to those who provided oral or written testimony during the planning commission hearing procedures, and those who requested notice of the planning commission's decision, and published in the Register Guard, consistent with land use code requirements. Information concerning the proposed amendments, including the dates of the public hearings and meeting materials, was posted on the City of Eugene website. https://www.eugene-or.gov/764/Land-Use-Code-Amendments
