Goal exceptions are <br />typically an issue affecting counties, such as urbanization within rural areas, outside of <br />UGB's. Therefore, this bill would likely have minimal effect within the City of Eugene. In <br />reality, if a use involving green-collar jobs were proposed inside Eugene's UGB, the city's <br />tools for considering such proposals would rarely involve the need to consider a goal <br />exception. The most likely situation would be a use that was within the Willamette <br />Greenway that didn't otherwise comply with this statewide goal. At this point, staff <br />recommends monitoring the bill to see if it is broaden in scope. <br />SB 0902 <br />Relating to the application of pesticides near schools. <br />Relating Clause: <br /> Requires person exercising control over property located within one-quarter mile of <br />Title: <br />school registered on State Department of Agriculture website to provide school with <br />written notice prior to aerial spraying of pesticide.
