..... July 12, 2004 ATTACHMENT A Steve Nystrom City of Eugene Planning Division 99 West l0th` Avenue SATI~ Eugene, OR 97401 ASSOCIATES Re: Initiation of Type V Code Amendment - Johansen-Moody House Dear Steve: I would like to request that the City Council initiate a Type V apPlication to create a Special Area Zone for the Johansen-Moody House at 370 River Road owned by Kathleen Hall and Peter Drongesen. The property was designated as a City of Eugene Historic Landmark by Eugene's Historic Review Board on May 27, 2004 (HD 04-01). The house was constructed in 1901 in the Gothic Vernacular style, and is currently used as an antique store. The Land Use Code allows creation of Special Area Zones (SAZ's) to protect historic structures, stating "Application of the S Special zone to a lot containing a specific building, structure, object, site; or archeological resource that qualifies as an historic landmark will ensure that permitted uses encourage preservation of historic qualities" (9.3000, page 9-121). The creation and application of the SAZ is processed as a code amendment and zone change per the procedures starting at EC 9.3000. I have drafted Special Area Zone language that allows a specific range of uses appropriate for the site based on conversations with city staff. The PrOposed use list includes residential, office, and small scale retail uses such as an antique store and specialty retail. The owners intend to use the property for an antique store and tea room. Public hearings on the proposed language will be held by both the Planning Commission and City Council. I anticipate submitting the land use application in the next week or so. Both Kathleen and I are available to answer any questions you may have. We look Satre Associates, P.C. forward to taking this first step in having the City Council initiate the code 132 East Broadway amendment application in compliance with EC 9.7510.
