District’s system of ditches and waterways en route to the Long Tom and Willamette <br />Rivers. According to the bill, if an IGA cannot be agreed upon, the City would need to <br />develop (within 2 years) and implement (within 5 years) a plan to provide an alternate <br />system that does not rely on the District’s system. In practical terms, it could mean piping <br />and pumping stormwater runoff from north-west Eugene and the River Road – Santa <br />Clara area to the Willamette River. The bill would require water quality monitoring for <br />the water being discharged, which raises questions of duplicative and potential <br />conflicting regulations. The City of Eugene’s stormwater runoff is already regulated <br />under the federal Clean Water Act through the National Pollution Discharge Elimination <br />System (NPDES) permitting program, which ensures that pollutants in stormwater runoff <br />are reduced to the maximum extent practicable. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Paul Klope PWE 2/2/2011 -- -- <br /> <br />Comments: I defer to Michelle and Therese on this bill. <br />SB 0681 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to zoning of property. <br />Title:Authorizes person that obtains written assertion of zoning status of property before <br />purchasing property to rely on asserted zoning status in land use application submitted <br />after purchasing property. <br />Sponsored by: By Senator ATKINSON <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/sb0600.dir/sb0681.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Steve Nystrom PDD-ADM 2/16/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Fundamental question with this bill is whether it makes sense to honor an error and <br />accept the development consequences that could occur (e.g. incompatible uses, etc). <br />Beyond this, the bill raises several questions about how this bill would be administered. If <br />the incorrect zoning is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan (Metro Plan or <br />Neighborhood Plan), how is that discrepancy reconciled? Bill is not clear whether it <br />would in fact trump all other applicable state and local laws. Also unclear if other parties <br />could use this written determination. Finally, bill does not give good guidance regarding <br />applicant's obligation to provide good information which led to the written determination. <br />SB 0688 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to residential energy; prescribing an effective date. <br />Title:Extends sunsets for tax credits for use of biofuel and fuel blends, for use of biodiesel in <br />home heating and for construction or installation of alternative energy devices. <br />12 <br />
