ECC UGENE ITY OUNCIL AIS GENDA TEM UMMARY Adoption of Resolution 5083 Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (River Ridge Golf Complex - A 12-6) Meeting Date: April 8, 2013 Agenda Item Number: 3D Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Becky Taylor www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5437 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex 109.9 acres of property located on the north side of Ayres Road and on each side (east and west) of North Delta Highway. The applicant also proposes annexation of the intervening portion of North Delta Highway, involving 1.52 acres of right-of-way. The subject property contains three dwellings, on the east side of North Delta Highway, but is primarily developed as the River Ridge Golf Complex. The current zoning of the subject property is also split by North Delta Highway. The portion of the property located on the east side of North Delta Highway is currently zoned AG/UL Agricultural with Urbanizable Land Overlay. Upon annexation, the /UL portion of the zoning will be removed. The AG base zone will remain until a zone change application is processed for consistency with the plan designations of low- and medium-density residential. The portion of the property located on the west side of North Delta Highway is zoned R-1/SR/UL Low-Density Residential with Site Review and Urbanizable Land overlays. The /UL overlay will be removed upon annexation, but the R-1/SR zoning will remain. The /SR overlay indicates that future development of the property will require Site Review approval. A portion of this property lies adjacent to the city’s urban growth boundary (UGB). As provided for in the Metro Plan, the annexation process establishes the specific alignment of the UGB for the affected properties. Detailed findings regarding this determination are provided in the attached findings (Exhibit C). BACKGROUND In December 2007, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the procedures for annexation requests and amending Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code (EC) to include these procedures. These annexation procedures provide for the council to adopt a resolution approving, modifying and approving, or denying an application for annexation; or provide for the council to hold a public hearing before consideration of the annexation request. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria in EC 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the city’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the city limits or separated from city limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the S:\CMO\2013 Council Agendas\M130408\S1304083D.doc
