MINUTES <br />Eugene City Council <br />Council Chamber —City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street — Eugene, Oregon <br />May 16, 2011 <br />7:30 p.m. <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Betty Taylor, George Brown, Andrea Ortiz, George Poling, Mike Clark, <br />Chris Pryor, Alan Zelenka. <br />COUNCILORS ABSENT: Pat Farr. <br />Her Honor Mayor Kitty Piercy called the May 16, 2011, public hearing of the Eugene City Council to <br />order. <br />1. PUBLIC HEARING: <br />An Ordinance Establishing the S -HBS Historic Brunner - Schmitz House Special Area Zone <br />and Amending the Eugene Zoning Map <br />City Manager Jon Ruiz introduced the topic, stating that the public hearing concerned a zone change <br />establishing a Historic Special Area Zone for the Brunner - Schmitz House and property on a .44 acre <br />parcel at 1410 River Road. The zone would allow limited commercial and residential uses on the <br />property. He reported that the Eugene Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval of <br />the application. <br />Associate Planner Steven Ochs explained that the application concerned a house recently designated as a <br />Historic Landmark. The property owner subsequently applied for a Special Area Zone, which allowed <br />uses that contributed to the historic preservation of the property. The proposed uses for the property were <br />limited to residential and commercial uses, including general office and restaurant uses. <br />Mayor Piercy called on the council for conflicts of interest or ex parte contacts. There were none. <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, Mayor Piercy closed the <br />public hearing. <br />Councilor Brown determined from Mr. Ochs that the existing zone and current historic designation <br />limited the property to residential uses, including R -2, Medium - Density Residential. Mr. Ochs said that <br />the development under the R -2 zoning could be in conflict with the historic designation. He further <br />clarified that the property owner sought the zone; the City was not requiring it. Councilor Brown asked <br />what the property owner intended to do with the property. Mr. Ochs believed an accounting office was <br />planned in the short term but it was possible a restaurant could eventually be located on the site. <br />Councilor Brown asked if the property's zoning could be changed to commercial. Mr. Ochs said no, as <br />the property was designated medium - density residential in the Eugene - Springfield Metropolitan General <br />Area Plan (Metro Plan). It would require a Metro Plan amendment or a planned unit development <br />application and approval to permit commercial uses similar to those the property owner was requesting. <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council May 16, 2011 Page 1 <br />Public Hearing <br />
