An annexation application was submitted by Robert Getty and Jacqueline Getty on May 31, 2012, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7810(2) of the Eugene Code, 1971, (“EC”) for annexation to the City of Eugene of the property identified as Assessor’s Map 17-04-23-20, Tax Lot 122. B. The territory proposed to be annexed is depicted on the maps attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution. The legal description of the property described is attached to this Resolution as Exhibit B. C. The City’s Planning Director has submitted a written recommendation that the application be approved based on the criteria of EC 9.7825. The Planning Director’s Recommendation is attached as Exhibit C. D. On June 22, 2012 a notice containing the street and assessor’s map and tax lot number, a description of the land proposed to be annexed, and the Planning Director’s preliminary recommendation was mailed to the applicants, owners and occupants of property within 500 feet of the subject property, and the River Road Community Organization. The notice advised that the City Council would consider the Planning Director’s full recommendation on the proposed annexation on July 23, 2012. E. ORS 222.111(3) authorizes the City Council to agree to apply a specified percentage reduction to the City’s property tax rates for up to ten years in order to lessen the impact of annexation. The Council agrees that the City property tax rates (including the permanent tax rate, any local option levy and any bond levy) should be reduced such that the Gettys are paying 69% of the City property tax rates for the property described in paragraphs A and B. That reduction should continue for ten years unless the property is transferred to someone else. F. After considering the Planning Director’s recommendation, the City Council finds that the application should be approved. NOW, THEREFORE, Resolution - Page 1 of 2
