Attachment C - Application Materials complex. The most northerly portion of tax lot 306 is not included in the annexation because it contains a portion of the River Ridge golf complex parking lot. The portion of tax lot 306 located south of Ayres Road and west of N Delta Highway is located outside the urban growth boundary and cannot be annexed. The annexation area totals approximately 31.97 acres and is currently developed with three residential units, portions of the River Ridge golf course, and existing road rights -of -way. The privately owned portion of the annexation area is owned by Eric and Deborah Jeffries (tax lot 305) and River Ridge Ltd (tax lot 306). With the consent of the property owners, portions of N Delta Highway and Ayres Road (County Road No. 302) rights -of -way were included in the annexation area. The property owners are requesting annexation in order to sell the properties after being annexed for development of a regional hospital facility. The annexation area is contiguous to the main body of the City of Eugene. Existing road rights - of -way are included in the annexation area to facilitate the provision of urban services to properties annexing to the city. The annexation area is located within the urban growth boundary (UGB). The UGB is located along the southerly boundary of the annexation area, 1,217 feet to the north, and varying distances to the west of the annexation area. The UGB is located along the westerly property line of tax lot 305. The private properties within the annexation area are designated low - density residential in the Eugene - Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The Willakenzie Refinement Plan designates the properties as park/open space. The Metro Plan designation prevails because the refinement plan designation has not incorporated into the Metro Plan. The private properties are zoned R -1lUL, low- density residential with urbanizable lands overlays, in Lane County. Upon the effective date of the annexation, the urbanizing fringe overlay will automatically be removed and the private properties will be zoned R -1 consistent with the plan designation. The city recently reviewed its annexation practices and determined that inclusion of rights -of- way in annexation applications would further the implementation of the fundamental growth management principles of the Metro Plan of annexing out to the urban growth boundary. The city reviews all annexation requests to determine the appropriateness of including existing road right -of -way. The city determined that it was appropriate to include a portion of N Delta Highway and a portion of Ayres Road in this annexation application. N Delta Highway is adjacent to tax lot 306 along its easterly property line and Ayres Road bisects tax lot 306. Ayres Road and the portion of tax lot 306 to the north of it are within the urban growth boundary. The portion of tax lot 306 south of this segment of Ayres Road is outside the urban growth boundary. Inclusion of the existing road rights -of -way will include in the city a logical segment of road infrastructure in an area where new development will and has been occurring. Road improvements will be required as new development occurs and having the roads within the jurisdiction of the City of Eugene will facilitate the coordination of those improvements. After submittal of this annexation application to the boundary commission, it was determined that a segment of the northerly 10 feet of Ayres Road —east of N Delta Highway about 600 feet LCLGBC Staff Notes (c EU 06 - ion — February 2, 2006 Page IV -F -3
