M E M O R A N D U M .3699 OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, OR July 21, 1982 To: Mayor and Council From: Planning Department Subj : WILLOW CREEK SPECIAL AREA STUDY -- COUNCIL ACTION I. Overview On July 14, 1982 the Council conducted its public hearing on the Willow Creek Special Area Study. As a result of those hearings, and Council discussion, the staff was directed to prepare a series of possible modifications to the text of the draft document for consideration at the meeting of July 21. Those changes, as well as those which were recommended to the Council by the Planning Commission, are included in this memorandum. Text changes are shown in legislative format with underline indicating additions and parenthesis ( ) indicating deletions. An adopting resolution and a revised set of findings will be forwarded to the Council by courier. II. Chan es Recommended By Planning Commission The fol l owi -ng changes to the draft were recommended to the Council by the Planning Commission. I. Modify the explanation of policy A -1, pages 4 and 5 to read, "This policy is consistent with other policies in the Metropolitan Plan which provide for annexation of industrial land in conjunction with an It approved capital improvement program that outlines provision of sanitary sewer service to an area. The Metro Plan policy also provides for interim sanitary sewer service through acceptable (to both the city and developer) facilities, such as sewage lagoons, when a permanent servicing plan has been established through an adopted capital improvement program. Adoption of the City's capital improvement program for FY 1982--83, which identifies the Test Eugene Trunk as Eugene's highest priority for capital improvements, helps fulfill this policy direction. Finally, the Metro Plan contains policy language (policy #23, page III -B -S, Aug. 1980 Metro Plan and policy #18, page 25 and 19, page 6, 1982 Plan Amendments) which support an aggresi ve annexation program and servicing of designated industrial lands in order to have a sufficient supply of "development ready" land. In addition, this of i cy responds to Eugene's own economic diversification efforts as outlined in "Eugene's Economic Di versi fication Program," 5e t.3 1981 which identifies industrial s i ti n as one strate y to improve the economic conditions of the community . 2 . Polic y A -Z, page 5, change to read, "Exce t as s eci al ly provided in Pol-i cy E -3 annexation of commercial and residential land shall be deferred at least until sanitary sewer service is available to the area, and other Eugene annexation requirements are met." 3 • Policy D -1, page 9, under explanation, change to read, "The community resource node concept is intended to maximize public investment by providing land for facilities which can be shared by various public, q u a s i - p u b l i c , anal appropriate private activities. Under this concept, Eugene would acqui r -e land for the public- resource node, U14i
