Mayor Piercy noted the several innovative bicycle facility improvements that had occurred close to <br />campus and were being enjoyed by many residents, who liked being in bicycle lanes that did not compete <br />with vehicles. <br />Roll call vote: The motion passed unanimously, 6 :0. <br />4. ACTION: <br />An Ordinance to Redesignate and Rezone "The Rexius Site" by Amending the Eugene - <br />Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Diagram and Amending the Eugene Zoning <br />Map (City Files MA 11 -2 and Z 11 -4) <br />City Manager Ruiz introduced the item, a proposal to redesignate and rezone 27.9 acres of the 48 -acre <br />Rexius site from Light- Medium Industrial to a combination of Low - Density Residential, Medium - Density <br />Residential, and Commercial. He reported that the Eugene Planning Commission had unanimously <br />recommended approval of the proposal. Findings of consistency with applicable City plans and policies <br />were found in Exhibit C of the Agenda Item Summary included in the council meeting packet. Planner <br />Steve Ochs was present to answer questions. <br />Mr. Brown expressed support for the ordinance as he believed the site would be put to a better use. <br />Councilor Brown, seconded by Councilor Farr, moved to adopt Council Bill 5065, an <br />ordinance to redesignate and rezone "The Rexius Site" by amending the Eugene - <br />Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Diagram and amending the Eugene Zoning <br />Map (City Files MA 11 -2 and Z 11 -4). <br />Responding to a question from Councilor Zelenka about potential conflicts between industrial and <br />residential uses on the property, Mr. Ochs anticipated the residential development would have a BPD <br />overlay so it would have to demonstrate compatibility with the industrial site. Any proposal would go <br />through the planned unit development application process with a decision made by the hearings official to <br />determine compatibility. Twenty -foot setbacks and screening would be required. <br />Mr. Pryor was pleased to see the proposal because it was consistent with other work the council had done <br />regarding redevelopment along West I I Avenue. It would lead to a mix of uses. He hoped it was just <br />the beginning of the gradual transformation of the entire area. <br />Councilor Farr believed the envisioned development would be a more appropriate use for the site. <br />Councilor Zelenka agreed with Councilor Farr and Councilor Pryor. <br />Roll call vote: The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br />ACTION: <br />An Ordinance Concerning Permitted Overnight Sleeping and Amending Section 4.816 of <br />the Eugene Code, 1971 <br />City Manager Ruiz recalled that in December 2012 the council adopted a temporary amendment to <br />Eugene Code Section 4.816 that allowed tents to be redefined as vehicles for the purpose of car camping. <br />He recommended the ordinance be extended to the end of the calendar year and said staff would use that <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council March 12, 2012 Page 4 <br />Regular Meeting <br />
