EXHIBIT 1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE EUGENE CITY COUNCIL Background The applicant, Windsor Graville, owns property located along the north side of Barger Drive, between Empire Park Drive on the east and Beltline Road on the west. He is requesting an amendment to the Barger-Beltline development node located on the north side of Barger Drive between Highway 99 North and west to Beltline Road. The Bethel -Danebo Refinement Plan, adopted i n September 1982, provided written text, e. g. , policies and proposals, and a graph i c delineation of the development node which contains approximately 99.6 acres. The map on page 11 of the Bethel -Danebo Refinement P1 an provi des a graphi c display of the various proposed land uses for the site. This is supported by written text in the policies for the development node beginning on page seven of the neighborhood plan . The map depicts five acres of commercial located nearest the intersection of Barger Drive and Beltl ine Road surrounded by approximately 1fi acres of high- dens~ ty res~ dents al and the balance of the site extending east having approximately 11 acres of med i um-density residential . The applicant is proposing to expand the commercial portion of the node to 15 acres, maintaining the same basic configuration and location. The proposed commercial uses would be oriented near the corner of Barger and Beltline Road. Adjacent to this would be the 1fi acres of high -density residential and the remainder of the site, approximately 68 acres, would be designated for medium- density residential. The vicinity map attached with the applicant's statement provides a reasonable del~neat~on of the proposed 15 acres of commercial. In November 1992, the Eugene Planning Commission granted approval to the applicant's request for classification of the subject refinement p1 an amendment as a minor amendment. At this time, the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization was notified and responded with written comment. That letter is an attachment to this record. Timing of the applicant's reclassification request was felt to be appropriate based on necessary design and approval of the Barger- Beltline interchange by the .Oregon Department of Transportation. However, the design was not f~nal~zed within the 9o-day time line after the commission's consideration and the approval expired with an application not having been submitted. The applicant's representative, Mr. David Pedersen, resubmitted the request for classification of the proposed change to the refinement plan. On June 1, 1993, the Eugene Planning Commission again approved the c] assi f i cati on of the refinement plan request as a minor amendment . On September 2, 1993, the application for an amendment to the Bethel Danebo Refinement P1 an for the Barger- Bel tl i ne development node was submitted to the Permit and Information Center. On October 7, 1993, notice of the request was mailed to the interested parties list, including the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization; Greg Mott, Spry ngf ~ el d P1 ann ~ ng Department; Roy Burns, Eane County Planning Di rector; and the .Oregon Department of Transportation. Also, on October 1, public hearing note ce was may 1 ed to owners and occupants within 404 feet of the affected area. Written information has not been received from the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization or from property owners in the vicinity of the request.
