of the
Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene
AMENDING THE BOUNDARIES OF RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING
ZONE B IN THE WEST UNIVERSITY NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION (WUNA) AREA; REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE
ORDER NOS. 58-91-07, 58-01-01 AND 58-01-09 AND ANY OTHER
PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS REGARDING
THE WUNA RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING ZONE B AND
COMMUTER PERMIT D; AND PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY
CLAUSE.
The Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. EC 5.040 authorizes the City Manager or the Manager's designee to take
administrative action establishing parking area time limitations, including the form of
permissible parking and imposing conditions upon which the streets and other public property
may be used for parking.
B. Pursuant to the above -authority, the City Manager adopted Administrative Order
No. 58-92-07, adopting Residential Permit Parking Zone Regulations, Administrative Rule R-
5.040.
C. Administrative Rule R -5.040-C provides that the Traffic Engineer ,may establish a
residential permit parking zone upon the application by an owner/residential or, in an area for
which no owner/resident application has been received, provided that: (a) establishment of the
zone is necessary in order to meet the objectives of the policies set forth herein; (b) the proposal
would meet the criteria for approval set forth in R -5.040-F had an application been submitted;
and, (c) failure to establish a zone would create a hardship for residents in the area or contribute
to traffic congestion in the area.
D. In 1991, the Traffic Engineer adopted Administrative Order No. 58-91-07
establishing residential permit parking Zones B, C and C -D (commuter permit D) for property
located within the West University Neighborhood Association (WUNA). Since that time, the
Traffic Engineer has adopted Administrative Order Nos. 58-01-01 and 58-01-09 which expanded
Zone B residential permit parking throughout the WUNA area.
E. In accordance with Administrative Rule R -5.040-C, expanding the existing
boundaries of the WUNA residential permit parking Zone B is necessary to meet the objectives
Administrative Order -- Page 1 of 3
of the policies set forth in Administrative Rule R-5.046 and meets the criteria for approval set
forth in R -5.040-F. Failure to establish the zone would create a hardship for the area's residents
and would contribute to traffic congestion in the area.
On the basis of these findings, I order that:
1. Notwithstanding any other Administrative Order to the contrary, the area depicted
on the map attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, and as described specifically
below, is hereby established as residential permit parking Zone B.
High Street: East Side from E. 18th Avenue to E. 13th Avenue

E. 18th Avenue: North Side from Patterson Street to High Street
Mill Street: East and West Sides between E. 13th Alley and E. 13th Avenue

2. The area designated as Zone B on Exhibit A and specifically described in
paragraph 1 above, shall allow up to two hours public parking between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except legal holidays and except Zone B permitted vehicles.
3. Persons residing in or owning residential property within Zone B designated

serve basis and shall not exceed 50% of the existing on -street parking spaces.

as shown on the most recent Lane County Assessor's tax roll, and (2) occupies a
dwelling on the property for a minimum of 6 months of each calendar year; or

address associated with the property for more than four years.

Prior to permit issuance, a "homeowner" must provide the city with two forms of
documentation to verify the applicable occupancy/residency requirement. Acceptable
documentation includes voter's registration, driver's license, homeowner's insurance, income tax
filing, and/or utility bill. A "homeowner" under subsection (a) of this provision must also
provide the city with a copy of the property deed to verify ownership.
5. Administrative Order Nos. 58-91-07, 58-01-01 and 58-01-09 and any other
previously adopted administrative actions establishing boundaries of the WUNA residential
permit parking Zone B and commuter permit D are repealed.

order, any portion of this administrative order is stricken or the boundaries of the WUNA
residential permit parking Zone B is modified, such action by the hearings official shall have no
effect on the validity of any other section or provision hereof, all of which will remain in full
