ATTACHMENT B ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NOVEMBER 1999 STREET CLASSIFICATION MAP ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 20181 TO DESIGNATE COLLECTOR STREETS IN THE CREST DRIVE NEIGHBORHOOD. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. The July 2002 TransPlan adopted by the City Council is the current long-range transportation plan for the Eugene-Springfield area and is the basis for the transportation elements in the adopted and acknowledged Metro Plan. B. In Eugene, as in other cities, a large portion of the public right-of-way is devoted to transportation facilities such as streets, sidewalks, bikeways, and access ways used by automobiles, trucks, transit vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. C. Included as a component of the November 1999 Eugene Arterial and Collector Street Plan is a map entitled "Street Classification Map - Figure 60" that depicts the classification of major streets within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary, that is consistent with TransPlan and the Metro Plan, and implements the goals and policies contained therein. The classification of streets into Major Arterials, Minor Arterials, Major Collectors, and Neighborhood Collectors represents a reasonable basis for classification, and the criteria to be used in determining the specific widths for right-of-way and paving, and provides reasonable guidance to the public, Council, and City administrative staff. On November, 22, 1999, the Street Classification Map was explicitly adopted by Ordinance No. 20181. D. The November 1999 Street Classification Map did not classify the streets in the Crest Drive neighborhood. A note in the legend of the Street Classification Map states that the streets in the Crest Drive neighborhood will be classified after the adoption of a Crest Drive Transportation Study. E. City staff has completed the Crest Drive Area Transportation Study, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B, hereto. F. Based on the Crest Drive Area Transportation Study, City staff recommend that the Crest Drive area streets be classified in the manner shown on Exhibit A attached hereto. Pursuant to EC 9.6850, amendments to the Street Classification Map must be made by ordinance. Thus, the November 1999 Street Classification Map should be amended in the manner shown in the map attached hereto as Exhibit A. Now, therefore, based on the above findings, THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The 1999 Street Classification Map is hereby amended to classify the streets in the Crest Drive neighborhood in the manner shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto. Except as amended herein, the 1999 Street Classification Map, adopted by Ordinance No. 20181, Ordinance - 1
