On December 11, 2012, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the code amendment to <br />the /ND overlay. As part of the public hearing process, two individuals submitted written <br />testimony and four individuals testified at the hearing. Five of the six individuals recommended <br />support for the code amendment, and the fifth provided general comments on the Envision Eugene <br />process and priorities. Subsequently, the Planning Commission conducted deliberations and <br />recommended approval of the code amendment to the /ND overlay. The Planning Commission <br />limited its recommendation to the proposed Northwest Community Credit Union site based on the <br />limited analysis regarding the impacts of the code amendment on the other properties in the <br />downtown area within the /ND overlay zone.
