A RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 4477 THAT
ADOPTED THE 1996 HOUSING DISPERSAL POLICY, AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. The City of Eugene first adopted a Housing Dispersal Policy ("the
Policy") in 1968 The Policy has been updated on three occasions since that time, most
recently by Resolution No 4477 on January 24, 1996
B. The goals of the Policy are to provide more housing choices for low
income families by encouraging the development of affordable housing throughout all
parts of the community, to avoid concentrations of low income families, and to limit
NIMBY opposition by ensuring that all neighborhoods have some affordable housing
Due to the many changes since 1968 in housing needs, land supply, funding issues,
improved housing polices, changes in City goals, and limitations in the number of units
developed, the Housing Policy Board recommended that housing dispersal policies
should be incorporated into the Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community
Development Needs (the "Consolidated Plan"), rather than being retained as a free-
standing policy
C. Based on the Housing Policy Board's recommendation, on November 15,
2004, the Planning Commission unanimously supported repealing Resolution No 4477,
and incorporating housing dispersal policies into the Consolidated Plan Upon approval
of the Consolidated Plan by the City Council it will be submitted to the U S Department
of Housing and Urban Development
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows:
