ATTACHMENT A -1 TO RESOLUTION NO. MEMORANDUM 399 O F THE CITY OF 'UGENE 5 OR "A Date: June la, 1982 To: Mayor and Council From: Planning Department Subj : Planning Commission Recommendations --- Willow Creek Special Area Study I . Introduction In February, 1982, the Planning Commission directed the staff to initiate work on a Special Area Study in the W i l l o w Creek Basin which has been identified in the Metro Plan as a major growth area for the community. The Commission felt it was important and appropriate to establish pubs i cal ly adopted guidelines for development of this area prior to consideration of major development proposals for land annexed to the City. On June 8, '1982, the Commission conducted its public hearing on the draft W i l l o w Creek Special Area Study. The draft Study contained a series of policy statements, elaboration and background material supporting those statements, and two alternate diagrams for consideration by the Commission. Alternative #1 reflected an employment intensive land-use arrangement, while Alternative #2 emphasized residential development in the Basin. Both alternatives contained a variety of land uses which were consistent with broad goals and pol i-ci es established by the Metro Plan, the 1974 Community Goals and Policies document, and T -2000. About twelve individuals presented testimony to the Commission at its hearing on this item. The majority of the testimony supported the Study and generally favored Alternative #1 -- the employment intensive land-use alternative. The Commission continued its deliberation on the Study until its meeting of June 14, 1982. At that time, based on testimony it received at the public hearing, its own discussion, and the background and supporting materials prepared by the staff, the Commission unanimously voted to forward the following recommendations to the City Council: 1 . Adopt the W i l l o w Creek Special Area Study with Alternative #1; 2 Initiate amendment procedures to the Metro Plan as outlined in Chapter IV of that document; and 3. Make a series of changes to the draft document.
