February 24, 2020, Meeting – Item 4A EUGENE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Adoption of a Resolution Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (Assessor’s Map 17-04-23-13; Tax Lot 7400; Located at 1345 Elkay Drive) (City File: Finnerty, Kathryn; A 19-11) Meeting Date: February 24, 2020 Agenda Item Number: 4A Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Rodney T. Bohner www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5437 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex the property located at 1345 Elkay Drive. The property to be annexed is approximately .44 acres (19,091 square feet) and is located on the north side of Elkay Drive, west of River Road. 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 R-1 Low-Density Residential with the /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 area of annexation is located within the City’s urban growth boundary and is only separated from the City limits by the right-of-way for Elkay Drive along the property’s south property boundary. Annexation will allow for future development consistent with the property’s land use designation and the Eugene Code. Specific plans for future development 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). CC Agenda - Page 52
