<br />ISSUE STATEMENT
<br />
<br />The City Council will hold a public hearing on the Eugene Planning Commission recommendations
<br />regarding the proposed minor amendments to the Eugene Land Use Code (Chapter 9).
<br />
<br />
<br />BACKGROUND
<br />
<br />The council held a work session on this item on Wednesday, October 12, 2005. Staff has attached the
<br />background materials that were provided for the work session, as well as other pertinent information.
<br />
<br />In response to City Council comments at the work session, the matrix list, which provides a synopsis of
<br />the proposed amendments, has been revised to include an expanded discussion of many of the proposed
<br />amendments.
<br />
<br />The council also questioned whether any of the proposed code amendments could provide a financial
<br />benefit to any affected properties. Staff and the City Attorney did evaluate this issue and concluded that
<br />in general, the minor nature of these amendments made it difficult to determine any measurable increase
<br />in value that would be bestowed on properties. However, staff did identify a few amendments which
<br />could arguably result in such a benefit. These amendments are listed by the reference number on the
<br />attached matrix:
<br />
<br /> Item 22: Adds reduced lot width provision for rowhouse lots which was not accounted for during
<br />LUCU revisions. Even though rowhouses are currently allowed, current omission in the
<br />code makes it more difficult to create rowhouse lots than would be the case if the code
<br />was amended.
