Based on the information provided by the applicant, the City has determined that this request complies
with Eugene Code (EC) Section 9.7805 Annexation – Applicability. As such, it is subject to review and
approval in accordance with the requirements, application criteria and procedures of EC 9.7800 through
9.7835. The applicable approval criteria are presented below in bold typeface with findings and
conclusions following each.
EC 9.7825(1) The land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s urban growth boundary and is:
(a) Contiguous to the city limits; or
(b) Separated from the city only by a public right of way or a stream, bay, lake or other
body of water.
Complies
Findings: The annexation area is within the City’s urban growth boundary (UGB), and is
NO
contiguous to the City limits, consistent with subsection (a).
YES
EC 9.7825(2) The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in
any applicable refinement plans.
Complies
Findings: Several policies from the Metro Plan provide support for this annexation by
NO
encouraging compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service
YES
provisions within the UGB, including the following policies from the Growth
Management section (in italic text):
Policy 8. Land within the UGB may be converted from urbanizable to urban only
through annexation to a city when it is found that:
a.A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to
the area in an orderly and efficient manner.
b.There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban
services and facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also
be consistent with the Metro Plan (page II-C-4).
Furtick, Don (A 16-10) January 2017 Page 1
Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the
highest priority (page II-C-5).
Policy 15. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with
the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time
frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions
from urbanizable to urban. (page II-C-5)
As addressed below under subsection (3), and consistent with these policies, a minimum
level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and
efficient manner. This annexation request is proposed by the property owner and is
subject to the City’s normal process for consideration of voluntary annexations.
The Metro Plandesignates the subject property for low density residentialuse, and as
such, future rezoning will be required to bring the property’s zoning into conformance
with the designation for low density residential use (from AG, Agricultural to R-1, Low-
Density Residential). The Laurel Hill Planand the South Hills Studyare the adopted
refinement plansfor the subject property, however neither plan includes policies that
would serve as approval criteria for the proposed annexation.
EC 9.7825(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key
urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an
orderly, efficient, and timely manner.
