Attachment C - Application Materials zone change to allow the City of Eugene to document and record the historical nature of the homestead and other structure -s on the property. The suuject property is not within the Eugene City Limits but is within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. This application is subject to Eugene's jurisdiction under a transfer of jurisdictional authority from Lane County in 1987. The property is intended to be combined with an adjacent 13.5 acres of land located outside of the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary for ultimate use as a. golf course. The Eugene City Engineer, Les Lyle, has reviewed the proposal and has determined that, while subsurface sewage disposal and individual water wells appear to be feasible to serve the property until the surrounding area develops, sewer and water facilities could be extended to the property if necessary. These facilities are currently located about 3,000 feet south of the subject property. The property is within the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District and police protection is currently provided by the Lane County Department of Public Safety and the Oregon State Police, The Eugene Water and Electric Board provides electricity to the subject property. No adverse traffic impacts have been identified with this requested zone change. Delta Highway is a major arterial and the density in the immediate area is quite light. The subject property is bordered by parcels zoned AG /UL on the east. These seven parcels are occupied by five single- family residences. Property to the southeast is zoned R -1 /PD Low - Density Residential District with Planned Unit Development procedures and is vacant. The parcels to the south and west are currently outside of the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary and are zoned EFU. Tax lot 200, ',o the north, is outside of the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary and is the site of Eugene Sand and Gravel operations. While thq applicant indicates that the intended use of the property is a golf course the zone change cannot be conditioned upon any specific land use and must therefore be judged upon the basis of t: heaviest impacts allowed by uses permitted in the requested zone, While the RA District allows subdivisions, multi - family development, and public schools as permitted uses, the underlying UL Urbanizable Land Sub- district severely res:;ricts minimum lot size. In the case of residential designations, the UL Sut-'.istrict would require a minimum lot size of 10 acres and would allow the subje.:t property to be divided into only 6 parcels. This density would not generate demand for the extension of key urban facilities and services. Section 9.678(2)(b): The proposed change is consistent with the Metropolitan Area General Plan 1) applicable text, 2) specific elem_nts related to the uses listed in the proposed zoning districts, and 3) applicable land use desiyi;?tions. The written text of the plan takes precedences over the plan diagram where apparent conflict or inconsistencies exist. The Metropolitan Area General Plan diagram designates the subject property for law - density residential use. The prooesed :one change to RA /UL would to consistent with this designation, 2 FINDINGS - PUBLIC HEARING OF APRIL 13, 1938 1Y.i0
