RESOLUTION NO. Sn 80 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE LAUREL HILL PLAN UPDATE. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that The Laurel Hill Neighborhood Plan was adopted in 1974 and was the City of Eugene's first neighborhood ref inement plan, Since that time, major policy documents affecting the plan area such as the South Hills Study and Metropolitan Area General Plan have been adopted, and in January of 1981 the City's Planning Commission initiated the Laurel Hill Plan Update to respond to the need for the neighborhood plan to reflect and be consistent with these broader policy documents. In February of 1981 a letter was sent by the Eugene Planning Department to all residents, property owners, and businesses in the Laurel Hill area inviting them to participate in the Laurel Hill Plan update process, and in March of 1981 a planning team composed of 13 residents and property owners within the plan area was formed to begin review of the update. The plan area includes all land south of Franklin Boulevard and Interstate 5 bounded by Hendricks Park and the City limits on the west, 30th Avenue, and a ridge line ( urban growth boundary) on the south and southeast. This area represents an expansion of the original plan area which encompassed the developed area within the Laurel Hill valley. The new plan boundaries include undeveloped land and areas east of Laurel Hill Drive, and two major tasks of the Laurel Hill Plan Update involved this area: (1) location and refinement of. a commercial /residential development node; and ( 2 ) general location and design considerations for the Glenwood collec- tor, a major new access road to serve the largely undeveloped por- tions of the plan area. In June of 1981 the City's citizen Involvement Committee ' re- viewed and approved the update process. The planning team has - met. with City staff on at Least a monthly basis throughout the update process in developing the plan draft. After the first draf t of the plan update was reviewed and agreed upon by the planning team, the draft was mailed and distri - buted to all residents and property owners of the plan area on May 3, 1982. On May 20, 1982, the Laurel Hill Citizens Association considered and adopted the draft. The Eugene Planning Commission held two work sessions on the plan prior to a public hearing on June 1, 1982. The Commission took action on the plan draft on June 14, 1982 and recommended its approval of the plan update draft with revisions to the City Council for adoption. Resolution - 1
