Attachment C - Application Materials The boundary commission staff recommends that the boundary commission modify the annexation area to include the additional right -of -way outlined in option 2 above and then approved the modified annexation to the City of Eugene (BC File C EU 06 — 10) based on the following findings and reasons. The findings are organized to respond to boundary commission standards outlined in ORS 199, the boundary commission law. The following findings and reasons are based on modification to add additional road right -of -way and approval of the request as modified. If the boundary commission does not modify or denies the proposal, the findings and reasons would need to be adjusted. Findings This proposal was initiated with the Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission by the property owner on January 3, 2006, in accordance with ORS 199.490(1)(c). The proposal was found to be a valid filing under OAR 191 -006. 2. The proposed annexation, as submitted, included portions of two tax lot (T17S R03W S07 part of tax lots 305 and 306), which comprised about 29.14 acres and was owned by Jeff and Deborah Jeffries and River Ridge Ltd. The area was developed with three single - family residences and a portion of the River Ridge golf course and was contiguous to the main body of the City of Eugene. Portions of N Delta Road and Ayres Road rights -of -way (approximately 2.83 acres) were included in the annexation area, as submitted. The annexation included a total of approximately 31.97 acres. 3. At the request of the City of Eugene, the original annexation area was modified to include additional N Delta Highway right -of -way (south of Ayres Road) and additional Ayres Road right -of -way (east of N Delta Highway), totaling approximately 0.33 acres. Inclusion of this additional right -of -way ensured that these urban transportation systems were within the City of Eugene. As modified, the annexation area totally about 32.30 acres. 4. The land use designation for the modified annexation area was low - density residential in the Eugene - Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The Willakenzie Refinement Plan designated the tax lotted portion of the annexation area as park/open space. The Metro Plan was the prevailing document since the refinement plan designations were not incorporated into the Metro Plan. Following annexation, amendments to the Metro Plan and the Willakenzie Refinement Plan were anticipated to accommodate the development of a regional hospital facility within the annexed area. If the amendments were not accomplished, low- density residential development would be consistent with the plan designation in the Metro Plan. 5. The tax lotted portion of the annexation area was zoned R -1/UL, low- density residential with urbanizable lands subdistrict, in Lane County. After the annexation effective date, the tax lotted property would be rezoned to R -1 consistent with the land use designation. LCLGBC Staff Notes (c Eu 06 - ion — February 2, 2006 Page IV -F -11
