EUGENE CITY COUNCIL OPERATING AGREEMENTS
RESOLUTION NUMBER 5043
ADOPTED OCTOBER 10, 2011
INTRODUCTION
The Municipal Charter of the City of Eugene (Charter) and Eugene City Code, 1971 (E.C.), as
well as the Oregon Revised Statues (ORS) law govern many meeting requirements and actions
of the Council. The Eugene Charter, Chapter 2 of the Eugene City Code, and various sections of
ORS 192 and 244 are primary sources of these meeting and other operating requirements.
1. MEETING REQUIREMENTS 1.01 Time of Meetings
Regular meetings of the Eugene City Council (the Council) shall be on the second and fourth
Mondays of each month. These meetings shall begin at 7:30 p.m. and shall end at 10 p.m., or
when the agenda item considered by the Council at 10 p.m. is concluded. If those days are on a
legal or religious holiday, the Council may schedule the meeting for the day immediately
following.
1.02 Work Sessions
The Council may meet in work sessions beginning at 5:30 p.m. prior to its regular Monday
meetings as needed. Other work sessions may be held on the second, third, fourth, and fifth
Wednesdays of the month. These work sessions shall start at noon and last for a maximum of 90
minutes. Except for extraordinary circumstances, the total time for presentations by staff and/or
others on a single agenda item shall be no more than 15 minutes.
1.03 Location of Meetings
Eugene City Council meetings shall be held within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City.
Training sessions may be held outside the City limits, if no deliberations toward a decision are
made. Inter-jurisdictional meetings may be held outside City limits, but should be as close to Eugene as practical. No City Council meeting shall be held at any place where discrimination on the basis of an individual’s race, religion, color, sex, national origin, ethnicity, marital status, familial status, age, sexual orientation, source of income or disability, is practiced. For this purpose, meetings do not include visitations or attendance at any national, regional, or state association to which the councilor belongs.
1.04 Notice of Meetings, Special Meetings, Emergency Meetings Advance notice of at least 24 hours shall be provided for all meetings. Notice shall include
written notice to all news media which requested notice. In the case of emergency or when a
state of emergency has been declared, notice appropriate to the circumstances shall be provided
and reasons justifying the lack of 24-hour notice shall be included in the minutes of such
meeting. As per both the Eugene Charter, Section 9, and Eugene Code, Section 2.007 (2), the
Mayor or three of the members of the Council, may call a special meeting of the Council in
manner provided in E.C. 2.007 (3).
ATTACHMENT A
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 2 of 19
1.05 Public Forum
A public comment period generally shall be the first item of every regular meeting of the Eugene
City Council. By council majority vote, time-sensitive issues may be moved up in the agenda
order.
Persons wishing to speak at the Public Forum must sign up to do so not later than five minutes
after the Public Forum has been opened by the Mayor or presiding officer. The Mayor or presiding officer shall inform the audience of the requirement to sign up to speak not later than five minutes after the meeting has been called to order or prior to the conclusion of the Public Forum. Members of the public may speak about any topic during the Public Forum, except as provided below. If a member of the public wishes to speak on an item that is scheduled for a public
hearing at that same meeting, the speaker shall wait until that public hearing. The Public Forum
cannot be used to testify about an item that is not a public matter or which has already been
heard by a Hearings Official, or to provide or gather additional testimony or information on a
quasi-judicial matter after the official record has been closed.
Speakers at the Public Forum will be limited to three minutes. Generally, the speakers will be
called upon in the order in which the “request to speak” forms are received by the staff at the
meeting. No persons will be allowed to complete a “request to speak” form more than 30
minutes prior to the start of the meeting.
At the end of the Public Forum each member of the Council has the opportunity to respond to
comments made during the Public Forum. The time allocated to each member of the Council for
such responses shall be up to three minutes.
1.06 Public Hearings
Public hearings shall generally be held on the third Monday of the month, except for those
months during which a Council break occurs, and shall be held for all ordinances except under
the terms delineated in E.C. 2.007 (4). Hearings may be scheduled on other items at the
discretion of the Mayor and the City Manager. Persons wishing to speak shall submit a “request
to speak” form prior to the commencement of the public hearing at which the person wishes to
speak. The Mayor or presiding officer shall inform the audience of this requirement to sign up
prior to the commencement of a public hearing. Speakers will be limited to three minutes.
Eugene Code 2.015(7) notwithstanding, councilors may ask clarifying or follow-up questions of
individuals providing testimony after that individual has completed his/her testimony. Questions
posed by City Councilors should be to provide clarification or additional information on
testimony provided. Questions should not be used as an attempt to lengthen or expand the
testimony of the individual. Councilors shall be expected to use restraint and be considerate of
the meeting time of the Council when exercising this option. The Mayor or presiding officer may
intervene if a councilor is violating the spirit of this guideline. At the end of the Public Hearing,
each member of the Council has the opportunity to comment on or discuss testimony given
during the Public Hearing.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 3 of 19
The Mayor and Council will be limited to commenting only on the main motion prior to
discussing any proposed amendments. If a an amendment to the motion is made during the initial
round on the main motion, subsequent remarks on the amendments will be postponed until all
wishing to speak on the main motion have done so. 1.07 Executive Session
All meetings of the Council shall be held in open session, except those meetings that may be closed for purposes specified in the Oregon Attorney General’s Public Records and Meetings Manual (ORS 192.610 to 192.690). These include the employment or dismissal of public employees, performance evaluation of the council’s employees, labor negotiations, real property transactions negotiations, and consulting with legal counsel on pending or threatened litigation.
Notice of executive sessions shall be given as required by state law and that notice must state the
specific provisions of law authorizing the session.
The Mayor and City Councilors are expected to maintain the confidentiality of the information
discussed in legally noticed and conducted executive sessions as defined in Chapter 192 of the
Oregon Revised Statutes.
1.08 Minutes Written minutes shall be taken for all City Council meetings in accordance with the Oregon
Attorney General’s Public Records and Meetings Manual. The minutes must give a true
reflection of the matters discussed but need not be a full transcript, verbatim or recording. As a
matter of courtesy and efficiency, a councilors should notify the Mayor and other councilors that
he/she intends to propose an amendment to the minutes and should propose replacement text in
advance of the meeting at which those minutes are scheduled to be approved. If the proposed
amendment is a simple factual, grammatical, or spelling correction, the amendment may be
proposed without consulting the minutes recorder. If, however, the proposed amendment is
substantive in nature or seeks to clarify the speaker's intent, or to expand his/her remarks for the
record, the councilor should notify the minutes recorder and request verification of the proposed
amendment.
1.09 Voting
Section 12 of the Eugene Municipal Charter states that the Mayor only votes on matters before
the Council in the case of a tie. Council members may not abstain from voting unless a conflict
of interest has been declared.
1.10 Presiding Officer
The Mayor shall preside over City Council meetings when present. The president of the Council
shall preside if the Mayor is absent or unable to preside. The Council vice president shall have
the powers of the Council president when the Council president is performing the duties of the
Mayor. If the Mayor, Council president, and vice president are unavailable, the Council
members present shall elect a temporary presiding officer.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 4 of 19
1.11 Council Officers
Council officers shall be elected for one-year terms in the manner prescribed in the E.C. 2.009, at
the first regular meeting in each calendar year.
2. PLACING ITEMS ON COUNCIL AGENDA
2.01 Contact the City Manager
Contact the City Manager and explain the nature, scope and desired outcome of the item for the
agenda, or make the request during “Items from Mayor and City Council” at a City Council work
session. The City Manager and Mayor may then decide to place the item on a future agenda.
2.02 Council Poll
Alternatively, an item may be placed on the Council agenda by councilor request. A councilor
may ask Council support staff for a work session, and staff shall then poll all councilors, in
writing, to ask if the item should be placed on the Council agenda. If, within five working days
of distribution of the poll, a majority of the Council responds in the affirmative, the item shall be
placed on the Council agenda within one week. A majority of the Council in this instance is four
councilors.
2.03 Tentative Agenda on the Consent Calendar
At each regular meeting of the Council, the City Manager shall present the Tentative Agenda.
This shall be placed on the Consent Calendar. If there are concerns about items on the Tentative
Agenda, it may be removed at the request of any councilors from the Consent Calendar and
discussed separately.
2.04 Tentative Agenda Provided Each Week
The Tentative Agenda shall be included in the weekly information packet provided to the
Council. 2.05 Scheduling of Items on the Agenda The City Manager and Mayor shall decide the date that items come before Council for work
sessions and for regular meetings.
2.06 Routine Business Items on the City Council Agenda
The City Manager shall continue to place routine and standard items of Council business on the
City Council agenda.
3. ORDER OF ITEMS ON A SPECIFIC DATE MEETING AGENDA
3.01 Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
The Eugene City Council shall begin its formal council meetings with a voluntary recitation of
the Pledge of Allegiance at those council meetings closest to the following holidays: Memorial
Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day, and the Fourth of July.
At the council meeting closest to the Fourth of July, the ceremony will also include readings from the Declaration of Independence and/or United States Constitution.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 5 of 19
3.02 Ceremonial Matters
At the first regular meeting of each month, the first agenda item shall be used to acknowledge
special recognition or awards given to the City of Eugene or for the Mayor to read proclamations
which serve to encourage and educate the community. Proclamations shall be made and placed
on the agenda at the discretion of the Mayor. This item shall be called “Ceremonial Matters.”
Requests for recognition under Ceremonial Matters should be submitted in writing to the Mayor.
3.03 Consent Calendar
At regular City Council meetings, in order to expedite the Council’s business, routine and
standard items shall be placed on the Consent Calendar. Any item on the Consent Calendar may
be removed for separate consideration by any member of the Council. Revisions or corrections to
meetings minutes shall be considered first, prior to other items removed from the Consent
Calendar. The remaining items on the Consent Calendar may then be considered for action by a single vote. The items pulled from the Consent Calendar shall be considered after the approval of the remainder of the Consent Calendar and before the next scheduled item on the agenda. Ordinances, because of charter requirements, are not to be placed on the Consent Calendar. 3.04 Public Hearings Given Priority As a guideline, public hearings shall be placed on the specific meeting agenda before items only requiring action. Further, public hearings expected to draw a small number of speakers shall be placed before public hearings for which a larger number of speakers is expected.
3.05 Committee Reports and Items from Mayor, City Council and City Manager At work sessions held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, the first item on the agenda shall be “Committee Reports and Items of Interest from Mayor, City Council and City
Manager.” Detailed reports on committee assignments will be given quarterly, with these reports
rotating according to a pre-determined schedule and occurring at the first Monday work session
of each month; the time set for this item will be 60 minutes. General reports will be given during
the second Monday work session; the time set for this item will be 30 minutes. The time allotted
for “Items” is subject to change to accommodate emerging issues.
4. COUNCIL ACTION ON AGENDA ITEMS
As a guideline, action on issues for which a public hearing has occurred shall not be taken at the same meeting at which the public hearing is held. In the case of an ordinance, the charter requires that an ordinance shall not be adopted by the Council unless it has been considered by the Council during at least two meetings. With the unanimous consent of the Council, the
Council may consider and enact an ordinance at a single meeting if the Council does not amend
the ordinance in a manner that modifies its substantive effect (Charter, Section 28 (3)).
5. POSTPONING AGENDA ITEMS
Any councilor may request that an item be postponed to another meeting if he/she is unable to
attend the meeting at which the item has been scheduled. As a courtesy, councilors should
submit in writing a request to postpone to the Mayor as early as possible. If the Mayor is unavailable the request should be made to the City Manager or the Manager’s designated staff member. A request to postpone may be requested for either a work session item or a vote on an
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 6 of 19
agenda item. The request to postpone shall be honored unless a majority of councilors present
determines that the matter needs to be acted upon at that meeting.
6. COMMITTEES OF THE COUNCIL
6.01 Creation of Committees
While the City Code governs appointments to certain committees, the code grants broad general
powers to the Mayor and City Council to create subcommittees or special ad hoc committees of
the Council. The Mayor shall nominate and the Council shall appoint the members of any
committee established by the Council unless a different procedure is specified at the time the
committee is established. The charge to the committee shall be clearly stated at the time the
committee is established, and the committee shall disband when its work is complete.
Committees may be composed of councilors, interested citizens or both.
6.02 Standing Committees of the Council
There is one standing committee of the Council, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
6.03 Standing Advisory Bodies to the Council
There are seven standing advisory bodies to the City Council. These are created in the Eugene
Code and exist to provide advice on policy matters. They are: 1) Budget Committee; 2) Planning
Commission; 3) Police Commission; 4) Human Rights Commission; 5) Sustainability
Commission; 6) Civilian Review Board; and 7) Toxics Board.
7. CONDUCT AT MEETINGS
7.01 Roberts Rules of Order
Conduct at City Council meetings and committee meetings is governed by Robert’s Rules of
Order, Revised. The Council has the obligation to be clear and simple in its procedures and in its
consideration of the questions coming before it. Council members shall avoid invoking the finer
points of parliamentary rules which may serve only to obscure the issues.
7.02 Other Meeting Guidelines
The presiding officer shall be responsible for ensuring order and decorum are maintained.
Behavior or actions that are unreasonably loud or disruptive shall be cause for removal from
Council meetings. This includes engaging in violent or distracting action, making loud or
disruptive noise or using similar language, and refusing to obey an order of the presiding officer.
Council members speak only for themselves and shall be open, direct and candid. They work to
keep discussion moving, and call for a “process check” if the discussion becomes bogged down.
Time limits may be set on topics. When councilors speak to each other during public meetings,
last names shall be used during regular meetings but first names may be used during work
sessions. The Mayor is, however, always referred to as “Mayor.”
During public meetings, councilors generally should not attempt to edit or rewrite prepared
ordinances. Amendments to an ordinance may, however, be appropriate. Generally, councilors should give direction to staff to bring back amended ordinances for Council consideration.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 7 of 19
If a member of the Council intends to make a motion at a meeting which is not reflected in the
agenda item summary, every effort should be made to contact other members of the Council to
inform them of the intent and the text of the motion. City Council support staff should be
provided with the same information and may be asked to assist in the notification process.
Comment times for the Mayor and councilors at City Council meetings or work sessions shall be
generally limited to no more than three minutes. At the discretion of the Mayor or presiding
officer, second and subsequent rounds may be limited further to ensure that everyone has an
opportunity to be heard in the time allotted for the item.
7.03 Public Conduct
The rules of conduct for members of the public shall generally be the same as for the Council.
The Code prohibits any person from bringing flags, signs, posters, and placards to a City Council
meeting unless authorized by the presiding officer. The Eugene Code specifically permits arm
bands, emblems, badges, and other articles worn on personal clothing, so long as such items do
not extend from the body in such a way as to cause injury to another.
8. COUNCILOR REQUEST FOR STAFF ASSISTANCE
8.01 Two-Hour Rule Initiatives requiring more than two hours of staff time must be approved by the Council.
Requests that involve less than two hours staff time or resources should be directed to the City
Manager.
8.02 Major Request
A Councilor who desires major policy, ordinance research, or other staff assistance should first
raise the issue at a City Council work session. The Council should decide whether to proceed
with the issue or ordinance before staff time is spent.
8.03 Tracking Council Requests Except for routine inquiries, the City Manager shall respond to councilors’ requests for
information or assistance. The Manager shall assign these requests to appropriate City staff and
track progress on the assignments. This process eliminates the possibilities of staff members
duplicating each other's efforts or a request being overlooked.
9. REPRESENTING CITY POSITIONS AND PERSONAL POSITIONS
9.01 Written Communications from City Councilors and Mayor In written communication with other officials or groups and in letters for publication, such as “to the editor,” the Mayor and councilors should be careful to decide whether to speak only for themselves or for the Council. In speaking for the Council, when there is a position which the
writer wishes to reinforce or explain, it is useful to circulate a copy to the Council for comment
before the letter is mailed. Letters to other elected officials or agencies on City issues shall be
discussed with the appropriate staff so that the City lobby effort can be coordinated.
When writing as an individual, a councilor or the Mayor is free to take any position which he or
she feels is appropriate. When it is a point of view different from a Council position, this fact
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 8 of 19
should be included in the letter. Use of City stationery and choice of pronouns shall be left to the
discretion of the councilor or the Mayor.
The governing principle is to advise the Council or staff when expressing a City position, and to make differences clear when speaking as an individual. 9.02 State/Federal Lobbying The effectiveness of City lobbying in Salem or in Washington, D.C. depends on the clarity of the City’s voice. When councilors or the Mayor represent the City in a lobbying situation, it is appropriate that the councilors or the Mayor avoid expressions of personal dissent from an adopted Council policy. This policy is stated in Resolution No. 4139, Council Policy on Testimony and Funding Applications.
A councilor or the Mayor in disagreement with an adopted policy should not be deprived of the
right to express such views to the appropriate officials at another time and another place.
However, the councilor or the Mayor should feel bound to advise those to whom such
disagreement is expressed that it is an individual view and that the Council has taken a different
position.
9.03 Attending Conferences, Other Meetings Councilors and the Mayor are encouraged to attend conferences and training sessions which
would enhance their skills and knowledge. Any councilor or the Mayor may attend any meeting
at which the Council is represented, but only the formally appointed official City Council
representative or designated alternate, has the right to vote on matters being considered by the
organization or group holding the meeting or conference. Individual councilors or the Mayor
may state he or she is representing the City Council if he or she has been formally directed by
the City Council to do so.
For local intergovernmental bodies or advisory groups to which an official Eugene City Council
representative has been appointed, the representative is to serve as an “instructed delegate;” that
is, to represent pertinent adopted city and City Council policy. If possible, the Mayor or
councilors should inform the other members of the City Council of the matters being considered
by intergovernmental bodies, and to the greatest extent possible, seek direction from the City
Council on issues directly pertaining to the City of Eugene and adopted city policy. The
representative may express his or her own opinion, provided it is identified as such, but when
voting or considering matters with policy implications or budgetary considerations, the
representative must follow adopted City or City Council policy and direction.
Participating in state and national groups such as the League of Oregon Cities and the National
League of Cities presents the opportunity to enhance skills and knowledge, and is an important
avenue for the Mayor and councilors to advocate for the members of the community and the city
itself. If the Mayor or councilors attend meetings of these organizations, an official voting
delegate should be selected by the City Council. This voting delegate, to the greatest extent
possible, informs the Mayor and City Council of issues or matters on which the voting delegate
may be asked to vote. If there is existing City or Council policy, the voting delegate will vote in
accordance with that policy. When providing a report to the council (see Section 10.06), votes
of the delegate should be included in that report.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 9 of 19
If the Mayor or individual councilor serves on a committee of a state or national advisory
committee and has been selected in an “at large” role, that is, not a specific seat or position for a
City of Eugene elected official, that person should state the adopted City or Council policies. However, that person is not bound by the adopted policy and can represent his or her own position, provided that the person makes such a disclaimer. 10. COUNCILOR EXPENSES
10.01 General Guidelines for Reimbursed Expenses
Under the provisions of the City Charter, the City may pay a councilor or the Mayor expenses
that are directly related to City business. It is each councilor’s and the Mayor’s responsibility to
determine if expenses are actually City related. If there are questions about the propriety of such
expenditures, the Manager shall first review the issue with the councilor. If the City Manager
and the councilor cannot resolve the issue, the Manager shall discuss the matter with the Mayor.
Receipts should be secured for any expenses and should accompany City Council expense report
forms to record mileage and other expenses. The forms shall be available from the City
Manager's Office.
Activities that support or oppose a political campaign shall not be reimbursable.
10.02 Out-of-Town Expenses
Out-of-town expenses include those incurred while attending City-related conventions,
conferences, training seminars, or meetings. Expenses that are paid by the City include fees for
seminars or conferences; transportation to, from, and at the destination; and lodging, meals, and
incidental expenses that are necessary to conduct City business. 10.03 Local Expenses
Local expenses include those incurred while representing the Council on a committee, attending meetings, attending local seminars or conferences, attending local special events, or meeting with groups or individuals to discuss City matters. Expenses that are paid by the City are detailed in Resolution No. 4375 and include meals, conference registration, transportation and necessary incidental expenses, and up to two community group memberships, not to exceed $100 total. The reimbursement for bicycle mileage, as permitted in Resolution No. 4375, shall be $.15.1 per mile as of September 1, 2002, and shall be adjusted each year at the same rate of increase as that of
automobile reimbursement. Special materials such as books or directories may also be eligible
for reimbursement.
If receipts are not available, a written description of expenses signed by the Councilor must be
submitted along with the Council Expense Report Form. Forms shall be available from the City
Manager’s Office.
10.04 Spouse/Guest Expenses
The City shall reimburse councilors or the Mayor for spouse expenses at local events when the
councilors or the Mayor and spouse are jointly invited and the councilors are serving in their
official capacity, such as a recognition dinner. The City does not otherwise reimburse councilors
or the Mayor for expenses incurred by their spouses. If councilors or the Mayor wish to have

spouses accompany them while attending out-of-town events, the City may make reservations
and have travel and lodging expenses billed directly to the City. Councilors or the Mayor must
then reimburse the City for their spouse’s travel and lodging expenses. Reimbursement should be
made as soon as possible so that the trip reconciliation process can be completed. When a guest is invited in place of a spouse, this reimbursement policy shall also apply. 10.05 Petty Cash Expenses under $50 can usually be reimbursed out of the petty cash fund in the City Manager’s Office. 10.06 Travel Guidelines Prior notification of out-of-town travel shall be given to staff responsible for travel arrangements in the City Manager’s Office whenever possible. Registration and travel arrangements should be made well in advance so that the City can take advantage of reduced fares and early registration fees. Staff shall assist councilors in making transportation and lodging arrangements and arrange
to have expenses billed directly to the City; contractors shall be chosen by staff, and not by
councilors.
While at a conference, councilors or the Mayor shall be expected to attend conference sessions
and, within 30 days, issue a written report to share the information and perspectives with the
entire City Council. If more than one councilor attends, a consolidated report may be written.
As a general guideline, each councilor is allowed two out-of-state conference trips per fiscal
year. If a councilor wishes to make additional trips, the request should be brought to attention of
the full Council and should be endorsed by a majority of the Council. This guideline is intended
to cover trips made at the discretion of the individual councilor; it is not intended to be applied to
trips related to service on national or regional committee, such as a committee of the National
League of Cities.
10.07 Overseas Travel
If the Mayor or members of the Council wish to attend a conference or make a Council business-
related trip to a destination overseas, this request shall be made in writing well in advance and
shall be placed on the Consent Calendar for approval by the Council.
11. ETHICS
11.01 Reporting Requirements in ORS
In accordance with ORS 244.050, the Mayor and all councilors holding office on April 15 shall be required to file an Annual Verified Statement of Economic Interest with the Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission on or before that date. The report must be filed on the form prescribed by ORS 244.060. Each year the form shall be mailed directly to the elected official by the Commission and should be returned directly to the Commission in Salem. Failure to submit the form by the April 15 deadline may result in the imposition of a civil penalty
and/or removal from office.

11.02 Local Code of Ethics
The Charter requires that a code of ethics be enacted. This local code, found in the Eugene Code,
places additional conflicts of interest requirements upon elected officials and creates a local
process for filing complaints.
12. COUNCIL CHAMBER AND MCNUTT ROOM SEATING ASSIGNMENTS
The Council shall be assigned seats in January, following the election of the Council president
and vice president. The Mayor is always seated at the center position with the 5043Council
president seated at the Mayor's right and the Council vice president seated at the Mayor’s left.
The remaining councilors shall be assigned seats in alphabetical order by last name. When the
Council returns after each Council break, each person moves one seat toward the outside and to
the opposite side of the table or dais; those in the outermost seats move to the innermost seats on
the opposite side. This system allows councilors the opportunity to regularly change seats
throughout a four-year term. Below is a detailed listing of the seating sequence.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
OPERATING AGREEMENTS
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON JANUARY 28, 2008
1. Purpose of Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations
The Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (IGR Committee) exists to make
recommendations to the City Council on State and Federal legislative issues and on City
applications for funding from outside agencies. At this time it is the only standing committee of
the City Council.
2. Membership
The IGR Committee consists of three City Council members.
The three IGR Committee Council members are appointed annually by the Mayor in the normal course of appointments to various boards and commissions on which City of Eugene elected officials serve. The Mayor will appoint members that represent the City Council’s political and ideological diversity. The Mayor serves as an ex-officio member of the IGR committee.
3. Committee Chair
The IGR Committee shall elect a chair of the committee at the first regularly scheduled meeting
after the Mayor has appointed the members to the IGR Committee.
4. Conducting the Business of Meeting
IGR Committee meetings are governed by Roberts Rules of Order, Revised. Like the City
Council, the IGR Committee has the obligation to be clear and simple in its procedures and in its
consideration of the questions coming before it.
5. Meetings
The IGR Committee meets as needed and generally meets more frequently when the Oregon
Legislature is in session. Meetings of the IGR Committee are subject to the requirements of
Oregon Public Meetings Law, ORS 192.620. The meetings shall be held within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the City.
No IGR Committee meeting shall be held at any place where discrimination on the basis of an
individual’s race, religion, color, sex, national origin, ethnicity, marital status, familial status,
age, sexual orientation, source of income or disability, is practiced.
Advance notice of at least 24 hours shall be provided for all meetings. Notice shall include
written notice to all news media that requested notice.
6. Quorum
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 13 of 19
Two members of the IGR Committee constitute a quorum for the transaction of Committee
business. Other members of the City Council may attend meetings of the IGR Committee, but
shall have no authority or status to vote on matters considered by the IGR Committee during that
meeting. Unanimous votes of the IGR Committee require 3 votes, not 2 votes, should an IGR Committee member be absent. An IGR Committee member may designate the Mayor to serve as an alternate in the member’s
absence.
7. Minutes
Written minutes shall be taken for all IGR Committee meetings in accordance with the Oregon
Attorney General’s Public Records and Meetings Manual. The minutes must give a true
reflection of the matters discussed but need not be a full transcript, verbatim or recording.
8. Process for Sessions of the Oregon Legislature
The Regular Session of the Oregon State Legislature convenes in January of odd numbered
years, with a Special Session convening in January of even numbered years. The Regular
Session generally lasts for six months with the Special Session lasting for two months. In
February 2008, the Oregon legislature convened a Supplemental Session in lieu of the Special
Session, lasting for only one month. Supplemental Sessions may be held in subsequent even
numbered years.
Preparation for the Regular Session is begun by IGR staff who meet with the members of the
IGR Committee and other City departmental staff to outline legislative policies and concepts for
the upcoming session based upon City Council goals, priorities, community needs and
organizational issues. These concepts, after being vetted by staff and the IGR Committee, are
then submitted to the full City Council for review and approval. Once the concepts are
approved, they become the basis for the Legislative Policies document that serves as the
cornerstone for position and lobbying efforts on particular pieces of legislation during the
session.
The Legislative Policies document includes principles and precepts that will help determine the
city position on bills. The City of Eugene first adopted a formal set of legislative policies prior
to the 1985 session recognizing from past sessions that many staff recommendations were
repeated from session to session and that a great percentage of a session’s legislative proposals
could be anticipated.
9. Process for Introducing Legislation
The City may wish to introduce legislative concepts on its behalf to the legislature. The IGR
Committee meets and reviews all proposals for legislation prior to submittal to the Legislature.
Any City staff or elected official interested in introducing legislation prepares a written overview of the purpose of the legislative concept and draft language for review by the IGR Committee. Once the IGR Committee has voted on proposed legislative concepts, the action of the IGR approval.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 14 of 19
After the proposed legislative concepts have been reviewed and approved by the full City
Council, legislative concepts that have been approved are presented to the Legislature for
drafting. The bill, as introduced, is then presented to the IGR Committee under the regular bill review process. 10. Process for Review and Prioritization of Legislation The Legislative session is relatively short and as a result, bills can move quickly through the legislative process. Regardless, the City will maintain a neutral position on any bills not yet reviewed by City staff and acted upon by the IGR Committee.
Review by City staff:
Once the bills are introduced, they are assigned by an IGR staff person to the appropriate
LC for review.
Legislative Coordinators (LCs) in the appropriate City department analyze all introduced
bills that are of interest to or may affect the City. LC staff is determined by each
Department.
LC staff turnaround for review and analysis of a bill is expected to be within 10 working
days of the assignment of a bill unless the movement of a bill warrants a faster turn-
around. In those cases, IGR staff will contact the LC and arrange for a faster review.
If a bill addresses one or more of the policies presented in the Legislative Policies for that
session, the particular policy is noted in the LC staff’s analysis of the bill.
LC staff will relay both the pros and cons of a bill in their comments as well as any
amendments that would make the bill more favorable.
LC will assign each bill a priority and a recommendation.
Legislative advocacy is done on the basis of a priority and recommendation system. LC staff
recommends a “support,” “oppose,” “neutral,” “monitor,” or “drop” recommendation for all
reviewed bills. LC staff also recommends a priority of 1, 2, or 3 on all reviewed bills.
The three priority assignments for legislative bills are as follows:
PRIORITY ONE BILLS – The issues addressed by the bill are identified in the City’s
Legislative Policies document. The bill would have a significant impact on City operations,
services, or finances in such ways as to fundamentally impact department administration,
organization, personnel, allocation of City resources, or local decision-making, either negatively
or positively. The issues addressed by the bill are of significant interest to the City even if they
do not directly impact the operations, services, or finances of the City.
Lobby Resource Allocation: Both IGR staff in Salem work on the bill, with a high support level
from the legislative coordinator(s) assigned to the bill. The Mayor and/or Council members may
testify before committees, possibly with both IGR staff and/or a legislative coordinator. IGR
staff contacts all or close to all members of all committees the bill is assigned to. Depending on
topic and recommendation, IGR staff will also contact as many legislators as possible prior to
public hearings or work sessions. In the event of a floor vote, IGR staff contacts as many
legislators as is possible in the 2-5 day period between committee passage and the floor vote.
Handouts would be placed in the Capitol mailboxes of all legislators prior to a floor vote.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 15 of 19
PRIORITY TWO BILLS – The issues addressed by the bill are identified in the City’s
Legislative Policies document. The bill would have some impact, although manageable, on City
operations, services, or finances and would impact administration, organization, personnel,
allocation of City resources, or local decision-making, either negatively or positively. The issues
addressed by the bill are of high interest to the City even if they do not directly impact the
operations, services, or finances of the City.
Lobby Resource Allocation: IGR Staff in Salem work closely with legislative coordinators. If the
bill is a City specific issue, IGR will testify, with a legislative coordinator if necessary. This,
may necessitate the involvement of an executive or expert department staff or the Mayor and/or
Council members. If it is an issue less specific to the City, written testimony will be offered. IGR
staff will contact members of the bill’s committee prior to a bill being passed out of committee.
In the event of a floor vote, IGR staff will submit letters to all legislators and try to contact as many of them as possible, starting with our delegation first, and then to legislators we suspect might be “swing votes.” PRIORITY THREE BILLS - The issues addressed by the bill are alluded to in the City’s
Legislative Policies document or included in other policy document or direction. The bill would
have a slight impact on City administration, operations, or services, with potential implications for
City finances, either negatively or positively. The bill requires tracking because amendments could
elevate bill to Priority One or Priority Two. The issues addressed by the bill are of slight interest
to the City even if they do not directly impact the operations, services, or finances of the City. Lobby Resource Allocation: Depending on recommendation, IGR staff contacts committee members from local delegation, as well as the committee chair or submits written testimony or letter to proper committee, with no further involvement. In the event of a floor vote, IGR staff will submit letters to all legislators.
Review by the IGR Committee:
The bill is placed on the IGR Committee agenda for review as soon as possible after all
applicable staff has commented on the bill.
The IGR Committee meets and reviews all bills on the IGR Committee agenda and may
pull any or all bills off the agenda for discussion.
Any LC staff that has reviewed and commented on a bill that is pulled for discussion will
be prepared to discuss the bill at the IGR Committee meeting.
If a bill is not pulled for discussion, the staff recommendation stands. If a bill is pulled
for discussion, the IGR Committee may keep or change the staff recommendation. The
IGR may also direct that IGR staff work to amend a bill.
The IGR Committee votes on all bill priorities and recommendations; the votes need not
be unanimous – with unanimous being 3 votes.
The actions of the IGR Committee are presented on the full City Council’s agenda for review
and approval. The minutes of the IGR Committee are ratified by the City Council. Any bill that
has been reviewed by the IGR Committee may be pulled for discussion at the request of any
councilor or by the Mayor.
11. Status of Positions on Bills until Final Ratification by the City Council
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 16 of 19
Time demands in the Legislature may not allow for each bill on which the IGR Committee takes
a position to be fully vetted by the full City Council before some type of action on the bill needs
to occur.
If a position the IGR Committee has taken on a bill is not unanimous, the position on that bill will be neutral until the full City Council weighs in and directs a position. The bill will then be placed on the next available City Council agenda. Although any bill that has been reviewed by the IGR Committee may be pulled for discussion at
the request of any councilor or the Mayor at the City Council meeting, as a matter of practice
and courtesy to the members of the Council who do not sit on the IGR Committee, any bill on
which the IGR Committee is not in unanimous agreement will be specifically noted.
The City Council can modify the position taken by the IGR Committee on a bill; the final
direction to staff on any bill comes from the City Council.
12. Process for Federal Lobbying Efforts
The IGR Committee and IGR staff address Federal lobbying priorities in concert with a number
of the City’s local governmental partners.
The Federal priorities begin with a review of opportunities for funding in the next Federal budget
and goals that are specific to Eugene or the area. The IGR Committee meets and reviews the list
of potential priority projects. Potential projects should be those projects which have already gone
through the proper authorization channels and are “shovel ready” projects. Once the IGR
Committee reviews the list of potential projects, the Committee develops a list of project goals
that are considered to be achievable.
After the proposed goals have been vetted by staff, United Front partners, and other community
partners, and the IGR Committee, the priorities list is then presented to the full City Council for
review and approval.
The final list becomes part of the “United Front” agenda which is presented to the area’s
congressional representatives, executive department staff, and other potential funding sources in
Washington, D.C. The attendees on the lobbying trips typically include the Mayor, chair of the
IGR Committee, and appropriate City staff.
13. Grants and Funding Applications
The IGR Committee acts on staff recommendations for grant and other funding applications
from outside agencies such as governmental or private entities. This process is intended to help
avoid situations in which City departments may inadvertently be competing with each other for
funding, and to allow the IGR Committee and City Council to review staff plans for expenditures
of grant funds.
City staff interested in seeking funding prepares a written overview of the funding application
for review by the IGR Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011
Page 17 of 19
If timing is critical and there is no IGR Committee meeting scheduled, the Committee may give
its approval via e-mail. IGR staff will keep full and complete records of the documents related
to the request for funding, the electronic notification of the request to review and the disposition
of the request. In all cases the IGR Committee and City Council have authority to direct that an application not go forward or if it has already been submitted, that it be withdrawn. 14. Resolution 4908
On April 18, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4908, “A Resolution Establishing
Policy Governing City Testimony and Funding Requests, and Repealing Resolution No. 4139”.
This speaks to the issue of testimony before legislative bodies, funding requests and the role of
the Council in setting legislative policy. This Resolution is incorporated into this document as
Attachment A.
15. City Council Operating Agreements
The operating agreements of the IGR Committee are to be incorporated into the Operating
Agreements of the Eugene City Council. As the IGR Committee is a subset of the City Council,
any and all process and operating agreements supersede this document. All process and
operating agreements of the City Council, by extension and when relevant apply to the IGR
Committee.
Attachment A: City of Eugene Resolution 4908.

EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Approval of a Resolution Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (Property Identified as Assessor’s Map 17-04-11-42, Tax Lot 400) (Kreindel, Joel; A 17-2) Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item Number: 3B Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Nicholas R. Gioello www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541/682-5453
ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex approximately 0.53acres (23,087 square feet) of land located at 2908 River Road. The property is located within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the City limits along a portion of its north boundary. No public rights-of-way are proposed for annexation as part of this request. A vicinity map is provided as Attachment A. The property is zoned Low Density Residential with Urbanizable Lands Overlay Zone (R-1/UL). The Metro Plan designates the subject property for Low Density Residential use. The applicable refinement plan is the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan, which also designates the property for Low Density Residential use. Annexation will allow for future development consistent with the property’s designation and the Eugene Code. Specific plans for future development of the site are not included as part of this annexation application and any land division of the property will be subject to a separate, future public process.
BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that ultimately all land within the UGB will be annexed into the City and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code (EC) 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the resolution (Attachment B). To provide nearby property owners and residents an opportunity to review and comment on this annexation request, public notice for this annexation request was provided to all owners and occupants of property within 500 feet of the subject property, and the affected neighborhood association, consistent with Eugene Code requirements. No written testimony has been received
as of this date. Referral comments were provided by affected agencies including City of Eugene Public Works, EWEB and Lane County Public Works. These referral comments confirm that the property can be provided with the minimum level of key urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance, ability for the provision of key urban services and lack of testimony received, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance. Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is included for reference as Attachment C. A full copy of all materials in the record is also available at the Permit and Information Center located at 99 West 10th Avenue. RELATED CITY POLICIES The Metro Plan contains the policies that are related to this annexation request. The applicable refinement plan is the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan. The policies applicable to this request are addressed in the Planning Director’s findings and recommendation (Exhibit C to Attachment B).
COUNCIL OPTIONS City Council may consider the following options: 1. Adopt the draft resolution 2. Adopt the draft resolution with specific modifications as determined by the City Council 3. Deny the draft resolution 4. Defer action until after the council holds a public hearing on the proposed annexation
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution by finding that the request complies with all applicable approval criteria, and that the annexation be approved. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to adopt Resolution No. _______, which approves the proposed annexation request consistent with the applicable approval criteria.

Exhibit C
Planning Director’s Findings and Recommendation
Annexation Request for Kreindel, Joel
(City File A 17‐2)
Application Submitted: February 15, 2017
Applicant: Joel Kreindel
Property Included in Annexation Request: Tax Lot 400 of Assessor’s Map 17‐04‐11‐42
Zoning: Low Density Residential with Urbanizable Lands Overlay (R‐1/UL)
Location: 2908 River Road
Representative: Dave Collier, Pacific Surveying, 541‐767‐0790
Lead City Staff: Nicholas Gioello, City of Eugene Planning Division, 541‐682‐5453
EVALULATION:
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
contiguous to the City limits, consistent with subsection (a).
YES
NO
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
encouraging compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service
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)
YES
NO
Kreindel, Joel (A 17-2) April 2017 Page 2
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)
The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for residential use. The
River Road ‐ Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted refinement plan
for the subject properties and also designates the area for residential use. The property
is currently zoned Low‐Density Residential with Urbanizable Land Overlay (R‐1/UL). The
/UL overlay will be automatically removed from the zoning following annexation
approval.
With regard to applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is not located
within any of the described subareas. Further, none of the general “Residential Land Use
Policies” at Section 2.2 appear to be directly applicable to the subject request. The
“Public Facilities and Services Element” policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local
government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban
services) is the assumption that the properties within the UGB will be annexed.
As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3)
below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management
policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation
procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found
throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law.
Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable
policies of the Metro Plan and applicable refinement plan.
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.
Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a
boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be
provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
Wastewater
There is an 8‐inch public wastewater system within Ava Street, west of the subject
property, with a 6‐inch service constructed to the property line. Location of Sewer
Connection record #58752 shows the existing development on the site is connected to
the 6‐inch service. The wastewater equivalent assessment has been paid.
Stormwater
Public stormwater systems are not available to serve this property. All development
YES
NO
Kreindel, Joel (A 17-2) April 2017 Page 3
proposals must demonstrate consistency with flood control standards; on‐site retention
may be a feasible option for this site provided that adequate infiltration is
demonstrated. Compliance with applicable stormwater development standards will be
ensured at the time of property development.
Transportation
The subject property has frontage on Ava Street to the west, but appears to currently
take primary access from River Road. River Road at this location is under the jurisdiction
of the City of Eugene. Ava Street is classified as a Lane County Local Access Road. Any
required street improvements will be determined at the time of property development.
Solid Waste
Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites and the Short
Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County.
Water and Electric
EWEB Water staff state no objection to the annexation. EWEB Electric staff state no
objection to the proposed annexation request. Water and electric services can be
extended in accordance with EWEB policies and procedures.
Public Safety
Police protection can be extended to this site upon annexation consistent with service
provision through the City. Fire protection will be provided by the City of Eugene Fire
Department. Emergency medical services are currently provided on a regional basis by
the cities of Eugene and Springfield to central Lane County and will continue in the same
manner upon annexation.
Parks and Recreation
Parks and recreation programs are provided on a City‐wide basis. The inclusion of the
subject property in the City is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum level of
this key urban service is met.
Planning and Development Services
Planning and building permit services are provided for all properties located within the
urban growth boundary by the City of Eugene. The Eugene Code, Chapter 9, will provide
the required land use controls for future development of the subject property upon
annexation.
Communications
A variety of telecommunications providers offer communications services throughout
the Eugene/Springfield area.
Public Schools
The subject property is within Eugene School District 4J and is with in the district
boundary of Spring Creek Elementary School, Madison Middle School, and North Eugene
High School. As access to schools is evaluated on a district wide basis, the property’s
Kreindel, Joel (A 17-2) April 2017 Page 4
location within the school district is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum
level of this key urban service is met.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above findings, information submitted to date, and the criteria set forth in EC 9.7825, the
proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable approval criteria. A map and legal description
showing the area subject to annexation are included in the application file for reference. The effective
date is set in accordance with State law.
EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Approval of a Resolution Annexing Land to the City of Eugene (Property Identified as Assessor’s Map 17-04-14-23, Tax Lot 3900) (Lohman, Scott; A 17-4) Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item Number: 3C Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Nicholas R. Gioello www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541/682-5453
ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex approximately 0.1acres (4,146 square feet) of vacant land located at the northwest corner of Boyce Street and Berwin Lane. The property is located within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the City limits along its north boundary. No public rights-of-way are proposed for annexation as part of this request. A vicinity map is provided as Attachment A. The property is zoned Low Density Residential with Urbanizable Lands Overlay Zone (R-1/UL). The Metro Plan designates the subject property for Low Density Residential use. The applicable refinement plan is the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan, which also designates the property for Low Density Residential use. Annexation will allow for future development consistent with the property’s designation and the Eugene Code. Specific plans for future development of the site are not included as part of this annexation application.
BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that ultimately all land within the UGB will be annexed into the city and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code (EC) 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the resolution (Attachment B). To provide nearby property owners and residents an opportunity to review and comment on this annexation request, public notice for this annexation request was provided to all owners and occupants of property within 500 feet of the subject property, and the affected neighborhood association, consistent with Eugene Code requirements. No written testimony has been received
as of this date. Referral comments were provided by affected agencies including City of Eugene Public Works, EWEB and Lane County Public Works. These referral comments confirm that the property can be provided with the minimum level of key urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance, ability for the provision of key urban services and lack of testimony received, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance. Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is included for reference as Attachment C. A full copy of all materials in the record is also available at the Permit and Information Center located at 99 West 10th Avenue. RELATED CITY POLICIES The Metro Plan contains the policies that are related to this annexation request. The applicable refinement plan is the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan.

Lead City Staff: Nicholas Gioello, City of Eugene Planning Division, 541-682-5453
EVALULATION:
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
contiguous to the City limits, consistent with subsection (a).
YES
NO
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
encouraging compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service
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)
YES
NO
Lohman, Scott (A 17-4) April 2017 Page 2
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)
The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for residential use. The
River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted refinement plan
for the subject properties and also designates the area for residential uses. The property
is currently zoned Low-Density Residential with Urbanizable Land Overlay (R-1/UL). The
/UL overlay will be automatically removed from the zoning following annexation
approval.
With regard to applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is not located
within any of the described subareas. Further, none of the general “Residential Land Use
Policies” at Section 2.2 appear to be directly applicable to the subject request. The
“Public Facilities and Services Element” policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local
government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban
services) is the assumption that the properties within the UGB will be annexed.
As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3)
below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management
policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation
procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found
throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law.
Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable
policies of the Metro Plan and applicable refinement plan.
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.
Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a
boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be
provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
Wastewater
There is an 8-inch public wastewater system within each of the adjacent streets, Boyce
Street and Berwin Lane, south and east of the subject property, respectively. An on-hold
wastewater equivalent assessment will become due upon property development.
Stormwater
Public stormwater systems are not available to serve this property. All development
proposals must demonstrate consistency with flood control standards; on-site retention

NO
Lohman, Scott (A 17-4) April 2017 Page 3
may be a feasible option for this site provided that adequate infiltration is
demonstrated. Compliance with applicable stormwater development standards will be
ensured at the time of property development.
Transportation
This property has frontages on Boyce Street and Berwin Lane, which are both Lane
County Roads. Any required street improvements will be determined at the time of
property development.
Solid Waste
Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites and the Short
Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County.
Water and Electric
EWEB Water staff state no objection to the annexation. EWEB Electric staff state no
objection to the proposed annexation request. Water and electric services can be
extended in accordance with EWEB policies and procedures.
Public Safety
Police protection can be extended to this site upon annexation consistent with service
provision through the City. Fire protection will be provided by the City of Eugene Fire
Department. Emergency medical services are currently provided on a regional basis by
the cities of Eugene and Springfield to central Lane County and will continue in the same
manner upon annexation.
Parks and Recreation
Parks and recreation programs are provided on a City-wide basis. The inclusion of the
subject property in the City is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum level of
this key urban service is met.
Planning and Development Services
Planning and building permit services are provided for all properties located within the
urban growth boundary by the City of Eugene. The Eugene Code, Chapter 9, will provide
the required land use controls for future development of the subject property upon
annexation.

Public Schools
The subject property is within Eugene School District 4J and is with in the district

EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Approval of a Resolution Annexing Right-of-Way to the City of Eugene Identified as River Road between Merry Lane/Arbor Drive and between Maynard Avenue/Rosewood Avenue (River Road Annexation; A 17-6) Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item Number: 3D Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Erik Berg-Johansen
www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541/682-5437
ISSUE STATEMENT The City of Eugene Public Works Engineering Division is requesting to annex two sections of River Road right-of-way into the Eugene City limits. The proposed annexation includes a section of River Road between Merry Lane/Arbor Drive, and a section of River Road between Maynard Avenue/Rosewood Avenue. Both sections of River Road are within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). A map showing the location of these two street sections is included as Attachment A. The purpose of this annexation is to create clear boundaries for police and other City services, which increases the effectiveness and efficiency of these services. In the current case, speed limits on these sections of River Road are not consistently enforced, which has created a public safety concern. Annexation will also allow for future road improvements that will benefit residents and businesses in the area. The City of Eugene’s outreach letter and a letter of support from the River Road Community Organization are included as Attachment B to this Agenda Item Summary. BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that ultimately all land within the UGB (including streets) will be annexed into the City and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code (EC) 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the resolution (Attachment C). To provide nearby property owners and residents an opportunity to review and comment on this annexation request, public notice was provided to all owners and occupants of property within
500 feet of the subject property, and the affected neighborhood association, consistent with Eugene Code requirements. Other than the letter of support from the River Road Community Organization, one letter was received from Don Milligan and is included as Attachment E. Given the findings of compliance and limited testimony received, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance. Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is included for reference as Attachment D.

From: River Road Community Organization
Re: Letter of Support for Annexation of remaining County sections of River Road within the River Road Community
Organization
Greetings:
At the June 13, 2016 RRCO General Meeting you and Zachary Galloway from the Eugene Planning Department presented
a proposal to annex the sections of River Road from Maynard Avenue to Rosewood Avenue and from Arbor Drive to
Merry Lane currently under the Jurisdiction of Lane County. Y’all described the clarity the annexation will provide in
enforcing excess speed infractions and future opportunities for alternate modes of transportation including the
potential of Bus Rapid Transit. We discussed the implications to the River Road Park and Recreation District and to the
River Road Water district. We heard you agree to inform any affected neighbors about the proposal and its potential
effect to their properties.
After discussion, the membership voted 12-1 in support of the proposal.
Thanks for bringing the option to our attention, for contacting the service districts and for answering our questions.

River Road Community Organization
Attn: Jon Belcher
1055 River Road
Eugene, OR 97404
Dear Members of the River Road Community Organization,
Because of the unique jurisdictional arrangement in north Eugene/Santa Clara, certain properties and streets are
within the City of Eugene’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), but remain in Lane County. Lane County properties
are ineligible for City services and not subject City codes. City of Eugene law enforcement is challenged to
consistently apply City traffic regulations due to numerous jurisdictional boundary changes between the City and
County. The intent of the proposed annexation is to remove jurisdictional boundaries south of Beltline to support
community goals and assist law enforcement.
The City of Eugene is proposing to annex the following sections of River Road (see attached maps for details):
Horn Lane to Merry Lane, approximately 1,250 feet in length
Maynard Avenue to Rosewood Avenue, approximately 750 feet in length
These properties are Right-of-Way (ROW) owned by Lane County. Lane County has requested the City annex the
remaining portions of River Road. The City supports this request and is initiating the annexation to provide an
unambiguous and contiguous sections of road so that traffic laws, transportation programs, and community goals
can be implemented uniformly. Neighborhood concerns and citizen comments are the primary drivers for
annexation.
The result of the annexation is that all of River Road south of Beltline will be within the Eugene city limits. One
other noteworthy aspect of the annexation is that all of the water, storm, and wastewater infrastructure not
already maintained by either the City of Eugene (waste and storm water) or the Eugene Water & Electric Board
(water) in these sections of River Road will fall under the aforementioned respective purview as a result.
Lane County staff support this course of action. From the County’s perspective, it has many other maintenance
and law enforcement commitments, and since these sections of ROW are within the City’s UGB, it would make
sense for the City of Eugene to be responsible for them. It is also worth noting that both of these sections of River
Road are surrounded by sections of River Road that have already been annexed into the City.
At this time, City staff is asking for the written support of the River Road Community Organization for the
annexation to present to the Eugene City Council. This support, combined with support from Lane County, will
make this annexation successful, and help to meet the goals and address some of the concerns of the River Road
area. There are no plans to annex other ROW at this time.
Finally, it should be acknowledged that due to this annexation, thirteen properties will become contiguous with
the City of Eugene limits, and thus will become eligible for annexation. It should be stressed that while these
properties are eligible, they are not required to annex, and it is owner of the individual property that would
initiate that process, not the City of Eugene.

River Road (A 17-6) May 2017 Page 1
Exhibit C
Planning Director's Findings and Recommendation
Annexation Request for River Road Right-of-Way
(City File A 17-6)
Application Submitted: March 28, 2017
Applicant: Eric Favreau, City of Eugene Public Works Engineering; 541/682-2869
Property Included in Annexation Request: Two sections of River Road, between Merry Lane/Arbor Drive and between
Maynard Avenue/Rosewood Avenue
Zoning: No Applicable Zoning District (Street Right-of-Way)
Location: River Road between Merry Lane/Arbor Drive and between Maynard Avenue/Rosewood Avenue
Surveyor: Tim Fassbender, City of Eugene
Lead City Staff: Erik Berg-Johansen, City of Eugene Planning Division, 541/682-5437
EVALULATION:
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
contiguous to city limits, consistent with subsection (a).
YES NO
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
encouraging efficient use of land and urban service provisions within the UGB, including the
following policies from the “Growth Management” section (in italic text):
Policy 1: The UGB and sequential development shall continue to be implemented as an
essential means to achieve compact urban growth. The provision of all urban services shall be
concentrated inside the UGB.
Policy 9: A full range of key urban facilities and services shall be provided to urban areas
according to demonstrated need and budgetary priorities.
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)
The River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted refinement plan for
the subject road sections. With regard to applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, a portion of the
street annexation is within the River Road/Howard subarea; however, none of these subarea
policies are applicable to the request. The City’s proposed street annexation is consistent with
the following policy under Section 3.8 Police Protection:
YES NO
River Road (A 17-6) May 2017 Page 2
Policy 1. As annexation occurs, Eugene shall provide for a level of police service comparable to
that received in the remainder of the City.
As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the
proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies. The
annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as
found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law.
The following policies from the River Road and Santa Clara Goals, Findings, Objectives, and
Policies section are also relevant to the request:
Objective 2. Capitalize on existing public expectations by providing further public services
which will allow the River Road and Santa Clara areas to achieve urban densities.
Objective 3. Deliver a full range of urban services to the River Road and Santa Clara areas
through annexation.
The following policy from the Transportation Element (Chapter III) is relevant to the request:
Policy F.14. Address the mobility and safety needs of motorists, transit users, bicyclists,
pedestrians, and the needs of emergency vehicles when planning and constructing roadway
system improvements.
Annexation of these two sections of River Road will create clear boundaries for police and other
City services, which increases the effectiveness and efficiency of these services. In the current
case, speed limits on these sections of River Road are not being enforced. Annexation will also
allow for future city road improvements that will benefit residents and businesses in the area.
Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of
the Metro Plan and applicable refinement plan.
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.
Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in
which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly,
efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
Wastewater
This is not relevant as the road sections will not be developed with commercial or residential
uses.
Stormwater
There are existing public stormwater lines within River Road. Lane County currently owns and
will continue to own and maintain the public storm system within the right-of-way after the
annexation.
Transportation
These two sections of River Road will continue to operate as a key transportation facility.
YES NO
River Road (A 17-6) May 2017 Page 3
Solid Waste
This is not relevant as the road sections will not be developed with commercial or residential
uses.
Water and Electric
Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) Water staff confirm that water and electric services are
available to the property.
Public Safety
Police protection will be extended upon annexation consistent with service provision through
the City. Fire protection will be provided by Eugene Springfield Fire. Emergency medical services
are currently provided on a regional basis by the cities of Eugene and Springfield to central Lane
County and will continue in the same manner upon annexation.
Parks and Recreation
A minimum level of park service can be provided to the proposal area as prescribed in the Metro
Plan.
Planning and Development Services
Planning and building permit services are provided for all properties located within the urban
growth boundary by the City of Eugene.
Communications
This is not relevant as the road sections will not be developed with residential or commercial
uses.
Public Schools
This is not relevant as the road sections will not be developed with residential uses.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above findings, information submitted to date, and the criteria set forth in EC 9.7825, the proposed
annexation is consistent with the applicable approval criteria. A map and legal description showing the area subject to
annexation are included in the application file for reference. The effective date is set in accordance with state law.
INFORMATION:
♦ Approval of this annexation does not relieve the applicant from complying with applicable codes and statutory
requirements.

Site: River Road between Horn Lane and Merry Lane; River Road between. Rosewood Avenue and
Maynard Avenue
Background: The City of Eugene as a municipality, currently has a unique situation due to certain roads in the North
Eugene and Santa Clara area that are within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), but are still legally part of Lane County,
and thus are subject to County laws and services. As a means of furthering the goal of unambiguous enforcement
areas for City of Eugene police, it has been proposed that two sections of the River Road - from Horn to Merry; and,
Rosewood to Maynard - be annexed into the City of Eugene.
Consistency with Eugene Code (EC) 9.7825: The proposed annexation is consistent with EC 9.7825 (Annexation
Approval Criteria) of the Eugene City Code because as this section of states, the proposed annexation must:
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) Separatedfrom the city only by a public right of way or a stream, bay, lake or other body of
water.
From the included section map, it is clear that these sections of River Road are within the UGB and contiguous with
land in the city limits, thus adhering to Condition of (1) of EC 9.785. Within both proposed annexation' arreas, there are
multiple annexed properties that have frontage on River Road. Between Horn Ln and Mary Ln these properties include
tax lots 2700, 2701, 2702, 3100, 8300, 8400, 8401, 8500, 8600, and 8700 of tax map 17-04-24-21 and tax lot 3100 of
tax map 17-04-13-34. Between Rosewood Ave and Maynard Ave, annexed properties include tax lots 0100, 0200, and
0300 of tax map 17-04-13-33 and tax lot 2702 of tax map 17-04-13-32. Furthermore, the two aforementioned sections .
of road are the only remaining sections of River Road south of Beltline that have not been annexed.

Attachment CAttachment D
2) The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any
applicable refinement plans.
The Metro Plan contains the policies that are related to this annexation request. The River Road Santa Clara Urban
Facilities Plan is the refinement plan applicable to the subject property.
The Metro Plan policies listed below support this annexation:
C. Growth Management, Goals, Findings, and Policies (Chapter 11):. _
Policy 1. The UGB and sequential development shall continue to be implemented as an essential means to
achieve compact urban growth. The provision of, all urban services shall be concentrated inside the UGB.
Policy 9. A full range of key urban facilities and services shall be provided to urban areas according to
demonstrated need and budgetary priorities.
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 timeframe for annexation may vary, annexation should occur
as land transitionsfrom urbanizable to urban.
F. River Road and Santa Clara Goals, Findings, Objectives, and Policies (Chapter 11):
Objective 2. Capitalize on existing public expectations by providingfurther public services which will allow the
River Road and Santa Clara areas to achieve urban densities.
Objective 3. Deliver ofull range ofurban services to the River Road and Santa Clara areas through annexation.
F. Transportation Element (Chapter 111):
Policy F.14. Address the mobility and safety needs of motorists, transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and the
needs of emergency vehicles when planning and constructing roadway system improvements.
Annexation of these two sections of River Road is consistent with these policies. Given that clearly defined
enforcement boundaries for police (and other services) are the most efficient way to allocate municipal resources;
poorly defined boundaries mean that services could either overlap with other municipalities, or worse, a region may
not be covered at all. In the case of River Road, the latter is the current situation.
As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation
is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban
services.
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.
The Metro Plan defines the minimum level for key urban facilities and services as "wastewater service, stormwater
service, transportation, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police
protection, city-wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and
Attachment CAttachment D
public schools on a district-wide basis". It should also be remembered that the sole impetus behind this annexation is
to give City of Eugene Police clearly defined ROW limits for enforcement of City"traffic regulations which shows.
compliance with Condition (3) of EC 9.7825 by providing key urban services in the an efficient manner. The proposed
annexation will result in a boundary in which the.minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in
an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:

Location and size of existing wastewater line: These sections of Lane County Right-of-Way do have an existing
8" PVC wastewater line running down constructed in 1989; however, this section of WW pipe is already owned
and maintained by the City"of Eugene.
Zero properties will be served by an extension of an existing gravity wastewater line.
Where will a wastewater line be extended from? When will it be extended? By whom?

wastewater service are included in this annexation application..This section of
Lane County Right of Way does have an existing 8" PVC wastewater line running down constructed in

infrastructure. This includes catch basins, curb inlets, manholes, and storm water lines of various sizes (see
included maps for details). As a condition of annexation of these two sections of River Road, the City of Eugene
will assume maintenance and operational responsibility for all of the stormwater infrastructure present.

development in this area and throughout the city. Please list the parks and recreation facilities that already
exist or are planned in the general vicinity of the property(ies) included in this annexation:

the city limits but within the urban growth boundary by the City of Eugene. This service would continue after
annexation.
Electric Service -Which electric company will serve this site? EWER has overhead power throughout the
proposed annexation area.
Attachment CAttachment D
Water Service - EWEB has a six-inch pipe in both sections of the ROW that is proposed to be annexed (see
included maps for details on the utilities)

Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County.
Natural Gas NorthwestNatural Gas can extend service to new development in this area
Communications A variety of other telecommunications providers offer communications services throughout
the Eugene/Springfield Area.
Conclusion
Based on the above findings, the proposed annexation complies with applicable approval criteria. From a
consistency of services and specifically providing law enforcement clear enforcements boundaries standpoint,
the annexation of these two sections of River Road is the next logical step. Given that there are sections of
River Road further north that have already been annexed, the proposed annexation should be viewed through
the lens of completeness and consistency of services, rather than the City attempting to extend its influence.

EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Approval of a Resolution Annexing Land to the City of Eugene Identified as Assessor’s Map 17-04-25-13, Tax Lots 2200 and 2300 (Downtown Mini Storage Partnership; A 17-5)
Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item Number: 3E Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Althea Sullivan
www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541/682-5282
ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex approximately 0.4 acre of land south of Thomason Lane, into the Eugene City limits. The property is located within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the City limits. No public right-of-way would be annexed as part of this request. The property is zoned Low-Density Residential with Urbanizable Lands Overlay Zone (R-1/UL) and is designated for Low Density Residential use in the Metro Plan. The applicable refinement plan is the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan, which also designates the property for Low-Density Residential use with a Nodal Development Overlay. Upon approval of the annexation, the base zoning of Low-Density Residential will remain, and the Nodal Development Overlay will automatically be applied. Annexation will allow for future development consistent with the property’s designation and the Eugene Code. Plans for future development of the site are not included as part of this annexation application, and any land division of the property will be subject to a separate, future public process.
BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that ultimately all land within the UGB will be annexed into the City and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code (EC) 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the resolution (Attachment B). To provide nearby property owners and residents an opportunity to review and comment on this annexation request, public notice for this annexation request was provided to all owners and occupants of property within 500 feet of the subject property, and the affected neighborhood
association, consistent with Eugene Code requirements. No written testimony has been received as of this date. Referral comments were provided by affected agencies including City of Eugene Public Works, Lane County Public Works, and EWEB. These referral comments confirm that the property can be provided with the minimum level of key urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance and lack of testimony received, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance. Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is included for reference as Attachment C. A full copy of all materials in the record is also available at the Permit and Information Center located at 99 West 10th Avenue. RELATED CITY POLICIES The Metro Plan contains the policies that are related to this annexation request. The applicable refinement plan is the River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan. The policies applicable to this request are addressed in the Planning Director’s findings and recommendation (Exhibit C to Attachment B).
COUNCIL OPTIONS City Council may consider the following options: 1. Adopt the resolution 2. Adopt the resolution with specific modifications as determined by the City Council 3. Deny the resolution 4. Defer action until after the council holds a public hearing on the proposed annexation
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution by finding that the request complies with all applicable approval criteria, and that the annexation be approved. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to adopt Resolution No. _________, which approves the proposed annexation request consistent with the applicable approval criteria.

Exhibit C
Planning Director’s Findings and Recommendation
Annexation Request for Downtown Mini Storage Partnership
(City File A 17-5)
Application Submitted: March 7, 2017
Applicant: Downtown Mini Storage Partnership
Location: South of Thomason Lane
Property Included in Annexation Request: Tax Lot(s) 2200 and 2300 of Assessor’s Map 17-04-25-13
Zoning: Low-Density Residential (R-1) with Urbanizable Lands overlay (/UL)
Surveyor: Jonathan A. Oakes
Lead City Staff: Althea Sullivan, City of Eugene Planning Division, 541-682-5282
EVALULATION:
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: As shown in the application materials and confirmed by City staff, the
annexation area is within the City’s urban growth boundary (UGB), and is contiguous to
the City limits, consistent with subsection (a).
YES
NO
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
encouraging compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service
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)
YES
NO
Attachment B
Downtown Mini Storage partnership (A 17-5) April, 2017 Page 2
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).
The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for Low Density
Residential use. The River Road – Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the
adopted refinement plan for the subject property. An ordinance in 2003 amended the
RR/SC UFP, designating properties as part of a Nodal Development area (see Council
Ordinance No. 20289). The subject site was included in this area and is designated to
have a Nodal Development Overlay (/ND). Upon approval of the annexation, the base
zoning of R-1 Low Density Residential will remain, and the /ND overlay will automatically
be applied in accordance with EC 9.7820(3); however, the /UL Urbanizable Lands overlay
will be automatically removed.
With regard to applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, none of the general “Residential
Land Use Policies” appear to be directly applicable to the subject request. The “Public
Facilities and Services Element” policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local
government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban
services) is the assumption that the properties within the UGB will be annexed.
As discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the
proposed annexation is consistent with the Metro Plan growth management policies
and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation
procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found
throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law.
Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable
policies of the Metro Plan.
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.
Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a
boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be
provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
Wastewater
Public wastewater service is available within Thomason Lane. Public Works notes that
an “On Hold” wastewater equivalent assessment will become due upon development of
the parcels.
YES
NO
Attachment B
Downtown Mini Storage partnership (A 17-5) April, 2017 Page 3
Stormwater
Public Works notes that public stormwater systems are not available to serve the
subject property, however, there are options for complying with stormwater standards
which will be further evaluated at the time of future development.
Transportation
The property abuts Thomason Lane to the north, which is under the jurisdiction of Lane
County. Street improvements will be determined at the time of property development.
A referral was received from Lane County which encouraged the City to include
Thomason Lane with the annexation request. In this case, the site is located in the
RR/SC UFP area, and according to EC 9.7815 the City may not modify an application to
include right-of-way if it would cause unincorporated property to be surrounded as
described by ORS 222.750. As an inclusion of the right-of-way would create the
situation previously described, no right-of-way is included in this annexation.
Solid Waste
Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites and the Short
Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County.
Water and Electric
EWEB Water staff and Electric staff state no objection to the proposed annexation.
Water and electric services can be extended in accordance with EWEB policies and
procedures.
Public Safety
Police protection can be extended to this site upon annexation consistent with service
provision through the City. Fire protection will be provided by the City of Eugene Fire
Department. Emergency medical services are currently provided on a regional basis by
the cities of Eugene and Springfield to central Lane County and will continue in the same
manner upon annexation.
Parks and Recreation
Parks and recreation programs are provided on a City-wide basis. The inclusion of the
subject property in the City is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum level of
this key urban service is met.
Planning and Development Services
Planning and building permit services are provided for all properties located within the
urban growth boundary by the City of Eugene. The Eugene Code, Chapter 9, will provide
the required land use controls for future development of the subject property upon
annexation.
Communications
A variety of telecommunications providers offer communications services throughout
the Eugene/Springfield area providing a minimum level of this key urban service.
Attachment B
Downtown Mini Storage partnership (A 17-5) April, 2017 Page 4
Public Schools
The subject property is within the Eugene 4J school district. As access to schools is
evaluated on a district wide basis, the property’s location within the school district is
sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum level of this key urban service is met.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above findings, information submitted to date, and the criteria set forth in EC 9.7825, the
proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable approval criteria. A map and legal description
showing the area subject to annexation are included in the application file for reference. The effective
date is set in accordance with State law.

WRITTEN STATEMENT
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1. Description of subject property:
The subject properties, each 8,725 square feet (approximately 0.2 acres) in size, are designated
by the Metro Plan as Low Density Residential. They are zoned R-1 Low-Density Residential
with the UL/urbanizable land overlay. Both lots are currently vacant and undeveloped, primarily
covered in mowed grass. Both lots are adjacent to the city limits on their southern boundaries.
Unless otherwise noted, these two lots will be referred to as "the subject property" in the
remainder of this narrative. The subject property is highlighted in red in the following image:
Page 1
Attachment C
2. Summary of land use request:
The applicant requests to annex the subject property, such that the /UL overlay will be removed.
3. Application Contents
The information requirements for an annexation application are stated at EC 9.7810(1) through
10). The application form page 2 lists all the required information. That information has been
compiled here, as reflected in the check boxes on the application form.
4. Criteria for approval of annexation application:
EC 9.7825 provides the primary criteria applicable to an annexation application. This code
section refers to additional criteria (such as applicable Metro Plan policies) that will need to be
addressed as well.
EC 9.7825 Annexation -Approval Criteria. The city council shall approve,
modify and approve, or deny a proposed annexation based on the application's
consistency with the following:
1) The landproposed to be annexed is within the city's urban growth
boundary and is:
a) Contiguous to the city limits; or
b) Separatedfrom the city only by a public right ofway or a stream, bay,
lake or other body ofwater.
Applicant's proposed finding: the subject property is within the city's UGB. The subject
property is immediately contiguous with city limits on its southern boundary. The following
image is a detail taken from the city's unofficial web-based zoning map. The heavy black line is
the city limits. (The UGB is not depicted in this detail of the zoning map, as it is located a
considerable distance to the north.)
LHOL
Page 2
Attachment C
2) The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the
Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans. "
Applicant's proposed findine: The Metro Plan Policy 10, page 11-C-4, recognizesannexationsthroughthisnormalprocesstobethehighestpriority. As such, the proposalisconsistentwiththispolicy
Metro Plan Policy 8, page 11-C-4, provides for annexation when a minimum level
of key facilities and services can be provided. This policy is the subject ofthe annexation
standard in (3) below.
Metro Plan Policy 16 provides that land within the UGB shall be annexed to a cityandprovidedwiththeminimumlevelofurbanfacilitiesandservices. It further providesthatwhilethetimeframeforannexationmayvary, annexation should occur as land
transitions from urbanizable to urban. The property is within the UGB and therefore,based on this policy, should be annexed. The provision of facilities and services is
addressed in standard (3) below. The property is designated LDR and zoned R-1/UL.
Following approval ofthe annexation request, the /UL overlay will be automaticallyremoved.
Metro Plan Policy 18 is instructional to the City to dissolve special service
districts after annexation and to consider intergovernmental agreements with affected
special service districts. The applicant does not object to dissolving special service
districts, as needed. The proposal is consistent with Policy 18.
3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum
level ofkey urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be
provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. "
Applicant's proposed finding: The Metro Plan defines the "Minimum Level" of "key urban
facilities and services" as including:
wastewater service, stormwater service, transportation, solid waste management,
water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, city-wide
parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication
facilities, and public schools on a district-wide basis (in other words, not
necessarily within walking distance of all students served)."
Each ofthese facilities and services is addressed below.
In summary, the minimum level of key urban facilities and services is either immediatelyavailableorcanbeprovidedwithinareasonablefuturetimeframeasneeded.

Wastewater services: Thomason Lane is currently served by sanitary sewer. Currently,there is an 8-inch public wastewater line in the Thomason Lane ROW, adjacent to the subject
property. This is shown on page 95 of the Wastewater and Stormwater Infrastructure Map Book
2013, and included as exhibit A. Therefore, this key urban facility already serves the subject
property.
Stormwater services: As shown in the Infrastructure Map Book described above, there
is a 10-inch stormwater line in western portion of Thomason Lane. If this key urban facilityneededtobeextendedfortheentirelengthofThomasonLane, it could be done so in an orderly
manner, simply by tying into the existing stub. It is unclear if additional stormwater plumbingwouldeverbeneededtoservethisneighborhood, as the property sits on alluvial gravel depositsanditenjoysexcellentsoilpercolationwithnostornwaterdrainageissues. Therefore, the
subject property is already served with this type of key urban facility, which could also be
extended further if needed.
Transportation: The property is a short distance from River Road to the west, which
connects to major streets and arterials, including Northwest Expressway, Chambers St. and local
streets, including Railroad Blvd, which becomes W. 1St Ave. Therefore, the subject property is
already served with this type of "key urban facility."
Solid Waste Management: Private firms and individuals collect and transport solid
waste to the Lane County administered landfill. Therefore, the subject property is already served
with this type of "key urban facility."
Water Service: Water is available from EWEB main lines in River Road. Therefore, the
subject property is already served with this type of "key urban facility."
Fire and emergency medical services: According to RLID, fire protection is currentlyprovidedbytheEugene-Springfield Fire and EMS. Upon annexation, the City of Eugene will
provide services directly to the property. Therefore, the subject property is already served with
this type of "key urban facility."
Police Protection: Police protection will be provided by Eugene, which currentlyservicesotherpropertiesinsidethecity. After annexation this property will receive policeservicesonanequalbasiswithallpropertiesinsidethecity. Therefore, the subject property is
can be served with this type of "key urban facility."
City-wide parks and recreation programs: Park services are already provided to this
area, consistent with the Metro Plan. The subject property is within the River Road Parks and
Recreation District. According to Lane County's GIS maps, there are 7 parks within one mile of
the subject property: Raisor, Trainsong, Maurie Jacob. Sladden, Scobert, Washington Jefferson,
and Skinner Butte parks. Therefore, the subject property is already served with parks.
Electric Service: The adjacent properties are served by EWEB, and service can be
extended to the subject property.

Attachment C
Land Use Controls: The subject property is now, and after annexation will continue to
be, subject to the land use controls of the City of Eugene.
Communication Facilities: Land line phone service, cellular phone and data service,
and cable television are available in the area, and can be extended to the subject property.
Public schools on a district-wide basis: The Eugene 4J School District serves the
annexation area. Existing schools are: River Road elementary, Kelly middle school, and North
Eugene High Schools

EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Action: An Ordinance Amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Policy H.2 to Clarify Eugene May Adopt Aspirational Park Plans
Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item Number: 4 Department: Public Works Staff Contact: Carolyn Burke www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-4914
ISSUE STATEMENT This meeting is an opportunity for the City Council to deliberate and take action on a Type I Metro Plan amendment to amend a policy that governs whether a plan for future development of the parks and recreation system must be adopted as land use plan policy. This Type I, single jurisdiction amendment to the Metro Plan only requires approval by the Eugene City Council.
BACKGROUND The Eugene Parks and Open Space and Recreation Divisions are in the process of developing a new plan for future capital improvements in the city-wide system of park and recreation facilities, called the Eugene Parks and Recreation System Plan. The previous plan, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan (PROS plan), was adopted by the City Council in 2006, but was later appealed to LUBA, and ultimately remanded back to the city to address an inconsistency with one particular Metro Plan Policy. The 2006 PROS plan was not intended to be a land use regulation, but LUBA determined that the Metro Plan prohibited the city from adopting the 2006 PROS plan unless it included the PROS plan as part of the City’s land use code. In response, the city chose not to adopt the 2006 PROS plan at all. Like the 2006 plan, the new Eugene Parks and Recreation System Plan is not intended to be a land use regulation. The proposed ordinance would amend the Metro Plan to resolve this policy inconsistency so that the city can adopt the new Eugene Parks and Recreation System Plan as intended. The Metro Plan currently contains a policy requiring the City’s policies for future parks and recreation facilities to be adopted as land use policy and incorporated into the land use code. Policy H.2 in Section H in Chapter III of the Metro Plan provides: Local parks and recreation plans and analyses shall be prepared by each jurisdiction and coordinated on a metropolitan level. The park standards adopted by the
applicable city and incorporated into the city’s development code shall be used in local
development processes.
This policy dates back to an era when the inventory of developable land within Eugene and Springfield’s shared UGB did not account for (subtract) land for public parks and open space. The City’s new buildable lands inventory includes this accounting; it explicitly excludes the land needed for future public parks, so that the planning, acquisition, design and development of land for future parks will not impact the residential buildable lands inventory. This makes the Policy H.2 unnecessary for Eugene. With this in mind, the Parks and Open Space Division and Recreation Division chose to draft the new plan for future parks and recreation capital development as an aspirational plan, rather than one that imposes specific requirements integrated into the Metro Plan and the land use code. There are several reasons for this. The policies and proposed projects that will be included in the new Parks and Recreation System Plan are for land acquired and owned by the city—there will not be any prescriptive policies that place limitations on use or development of private land. The development of the new Parks and Recreation System Plan has already involved input from more than 10,000 Eugene community members, and represents a broad future vision for development of park and recreation facilities on public lands based upon the stated preferences of the community. With this in mind, the collective assessment of staff is that adding a land use approval process on top of this massive public engagement campaign will not improve the plan or add value or effectiveness to the adoption process. Finally, staff concludes that no land use related policy is necessary in the new Parks and Recreation System Plan to carry out a robust vision for future development of Eugene’s park and recreation facilities. Proposed Amendment The proposed Metro Plan Amendment would add the following sentence to Policy H2:
This Policy does not apply to the City of Eugene, where a park and recreation plan may be
aspirational in nature and does not need to be adopted as a land use plan. This approach confines the impact of the amendment to Eugene alone, leaving the other jurisdictions to approach this issue as they see fit, while clarifying that Eugene’s adoption of an aspirational plan will be consistent with the Metro Plan. The draft ordinance containing the proposed amendment is shown in Attachment A. Eugene Planning Commission Public Hearing The Eugene Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed Metro Plan Amendment on March 14, 2017. There were no requests to speak at the public hearing. The Planning Commission closed the public hearing and discussed the item. A key concern expressed by Commissioners was that they wanted to see more frequent and more broadly shared information from the Parks and Open Space Division on how it has implemented the existing plan and accompanying Bond Measure from 2006 and how it implements any future bond measures. Parks and Open Space representatives explained that this effort is already underway with additional reporting on the 2006 PROS Bond implementation, and that an expanded effort would be made with measuring and reporting progress on future plan implementation and any future Parks and Recreation funding measures.
An additional concern raised by the Commission was whether the change in the policy would result in reduced coordination with other metropolitan area park and recreation agencies. Parks and Open Space representatives explained that this type of coordination is of high importance and that it is on-going. One such example of this coordination is the fifteen-member Rivers to Ridges Partnership. It was also pointed out that a policy in the Metro Plan is not the most effective trigger for the level of on-going coordination that is needed between Metro-area parks and recreation agencies. This is because the Metro Plan policy is only invoked at the time of adoption of a new plan or adoption of changes to an existing plan, whereas the coordination among these parks agencies is needed during all phases of plan development, adoption, and implementation. City Council Public Hearing The City Council held a public hearing on the proposed Metro Plan Amendment on May 15, 2017. One individual testified, but did not address the matter of this ordinance. No written testimony was submitted. The public hearing was closed and there were no questions or discussion on the item. Next Steps If adopted, the ordinance will become effective 30 days after approval.

ATTACHMENT A
Exhibit A
Findings
Metro Plan Amendment
(City File MA 17-2)
Metro Plan Amendment (City File MA 17-2)
The policy with the amendment showing in bold underline italics is provided below:
H.2 Local parks and recreation plans and analyses shall be prepared by each jurisdiction
and coordinated on a metropolitan level. The park standards adopted by the applicable city and
incorporated into the city’s development code shall be used in local development processes. This
Policy does not apply to the City of Eugene, where a park and recreation plan may be
aspirational in nature and does not need to be adopted as a land use plan.
Findings
Eugene Code Section 9.7735 requires that the following approval criteria (in bold italics) be applied to
a Metro Plan amendment:
Criteria for Approval of Plan Amendment. The following criteria shall be applied by the city council
in approving or denying a Metro Plan amendment application:
(1) The proposed amendment is consistent with the relevant Statewide Planning Goals; and
Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement. To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity
for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.
The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement which ensure the opportunity for
citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements for such
involvement. The amendment does not amend the citizen involvement program. The process for
adopting this amendment complies with Goal 1 because it is consistent with the citizen involvement
provisions.
This amendment anticipates the future adoption of a new park and recreation plan. The citizen
involvement process for the draft Eugene Parks and Recreation System Plan has far exceeded any
previous standards established for citizen and community involvement. More than 10,000
interactions with Eugene community members have occurred thus far through online surveys, phone
surveys, small group discussions, and more than forty public events in parks and other public spaces
designed to gather input.
The Planning Commission public hearing on the proposal was duly noticed to all individuals who have
requested notice, as well as to the City of Springfield and Lane County. In addition, notice of the
public hearing was also published in the Register Guard. The City Council will hold a duly noticed
ATTACHMENT B
Exhibit A
Findings - 2
public hearing to consider approval, modification, or denial of the code amendments. These
processes afford ample opportunity for citizen involvement consistent with Goal 1. Therefore, the
proposed ordinance is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 1.
Goal 2 - Land Use Planning. To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis
for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual basis for such
decisions and actions.
Eugene’s land use code specifies the procedure and criteria that were used in considering these
amendments. The record shows that there is an adequate factual base for the amendments. The
Goal 2 coordination requirement is met when the City engages in an exchange, or invites such an
exchange, between the City and any affected governmental unit and when the City uses the
information obtained in the exchange to balance the needs of the citizens.
To comply with the Goal 2 coordination requirement, the City provided notice to the City of
Springfield, Lane County, and Lane Council of Governments. The City provided notice of the
proposed action and opportunity to comment to the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and
Development. There are no exceptions to Statewide Planning Goal 2 required for these
amendments. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2.
Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands. To preserve agricultural lands.
Goal 4 - Forest Lands. To conserve forest lands.
The amendments do not affect any land designated for agricultural or forest use. Therefore,
Statewide Planning Goals 3 and 4 do not apply.
Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources. To conserve open space and
protect natural and scenic resources.
OAR 660-023-0250(3) provides: Local governments are not required to apply Goal 5 in
consideration of a PAPA unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. For purposes of this section,
a PAPA would affect a Goal 5 resource only if:
(a) The PAPA creates or amends a resource list or a portion of an acknowledged plan or land
use regulation adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address
specific requirements of Goal 5;
(b) The PAPA allows new uses that could be conflicting uses with a particular significant
Goal 5 resource site on an acknowledged resource list; or
(c) The PAPA amends an acknowledged UGB and factual information is submitted
demonstrating that a resource site, or the impact areas of such a site, is included in the
amended UGB area.
This amendment does not create or amend the City’s list of Goal 5 resources, does not amend a code
provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific
requirements of Goal 5, does not allow new uses that could be conflicting uses with a significant Goal
Exhibit A
Findings - 3
5 resource site and does not amend the acknowledged urban growth boundary. Therefore,
Statewide Planning Goal 5 does not apply.
Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resource Quality. To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water
and land resources of the state.
Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air,
water and land from impacts from those discharges. The amendment does not affect the City’s
ability to provide for clean air, water or land resources. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 6 does
not apply.
Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards. To protect life and property from natural
disasters and hazards.
Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and
property from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis
and wildfires and prohibits development in natural hazard areas without appropriate safeguards. The
amendment does not affect the City’s restrictions on development in areas subject to natural
disasters and hazards. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 7 does not apply.
Goal 8 - Recreational Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors,
and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including
destination resorts.
Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is largely concerned with
the provision of large destination facilities in non-urban areas. Neither Goal 8 nor DLCD’s rules
requires cities to adopt local park plans. Nonetheless, the City of Eugene is anticipating the future
adoption of a local park plan. The amendment allows the City of Eugene flexibility in the process for
adoption of Eugene’s park and recreation plan. To the extent Statewide Planning Goal 8 is applicable
(if at all), this amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 8.
Goal 9 - Economic Development. To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety
of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon’s citizens.
The amendment does not change available opportunities for economic activities. Therefore,
Statewide Planning Goal 9 does not apply.
Goal 10 - Housing. To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state.
The amendment does not impact provision of housing. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 10 does
not apply.
Goal 11- Public Facilities and Services. To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement
of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development.
Exhibit A
Findings - 4
The amendment does not affect the City’s provision of public facilities and services. Therefore,
Statewide Planning Goal 11 does not apply.
Goal 12- Transportation. To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation
system.
The amendment does not impact transportation. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 12 does not
apply.
Goal 13 - Energy Conservation. To conserve energy.
The amendment does not impact energy conservation. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 13 does
not apply.
Goal 14 - Urbanization. To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use.
The amendment does not affect the City’s provisions regarding the transition of land from rural to
urban uses. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 14 does not apply.
Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway. To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic,
historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the
Willamette River Greenway.
The amendment does not contain any changes that affect the Willamette River Greenway
regulations, Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 15 does not apply.
Goal 16 through 19 - Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean
Resources.
There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources within the jurisdiction of the
Metro Plan. Therefore, these goals are not relevant and the amendments will not affect compliance
with Statewide Planning Goals 16 through 19.
(2) The proposed amendment does not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent.
The Metro Plan text amendment to allow Eugene to adopt a parks and recreation plan that is
aspirational will not create an internal conflict with the remainder of the Metro Plan. No other text
changes and no diagram changes are necessary to ensure internal consistency with the proposed text
amendment; adoption of this amendment will not make the Metro Plan internally consistent.
The following policy from the Metro Plan (identified below in italics) is potentially applicable to this
amendment.
Exhibit A
Findings - 5
Park and Recreation Facilities Element
Policies
H.1 Develop a system of regional-metropolitan recreational activity areas based on a facilities plan
for the metropolitan area that includes acquisition, development, and management programs. The
Metro Plan and system should include reservoir and hill parks, the Willamette River Greenway, and
other river corridors.
The amendment does not impact the facilities plan for the metropolitan area. The amendment does not
change the allowance for park and recreation plans to include acquisition, development and management
programs, or to include reservoir and hill parks, the Willamette Greenway and other river corridors.
Therefore, this policy does not apply to the amendment.
The following policies related to park and recreation facilities do not apply to the amendment but are
addressed here for context:
H.3 Accelerate the acquisition of park land in projected growth areas by establishing guidelines
determining where and when developers will be required to dedicate land for park and recreation
facilities, or money in lieu thereof, to serve their developments.
The amendment does not address guidelines for dedication of land for park and recreation facilities or
funds in lieu of dedication. Therefore, this policy does not apply to the amendment.
H.4 Encourage the development of private recreational facilities.
The amendment does not address development of private recreational facilities. Therefore, this policy
does not apply to the amendment.
H.5 Develop mechanisms and processes by which residents of an area to be served by a
neighborhood park, neighborhood center, or play lot can participate in the design, development,
and maintenance of the facility.
The amendment does not address processes for public and community involvement in design,
development or maintenance of park and recreation facilities. Therefore, this policy does not apply to the
amendment.
H.6 All metropolitan area parks and recreation programs and districts shall cooperate to the
greatest possible extent in the acquisition of public and private funds to support their operations.
The amendment does not change the regional coordination between park and recreation agencies and
programs related to acquiring public and private funds. Therefore, this policy does not apply to the
amendment.
Exhibit A
Findings - 6
H.7 The City of Eugene shall cooperate with the University of Oregon in the resolution of any loss of
recreational facilities associated with development in the Riverfront Park.
The amendment does not address the Riverfront Park or any other specific sites. Therefore, this policy
does not apply to the amendment.
(3) When the city-specific local comprehensive plan also applies, the proposed amendment
is consistent with the city-specific local comprehensive plan.
The City of Eugene does not have a city-specific comprehensive plan.
Applicable Refinement Plans
The amendment is a legislative text amendment and does not address any specific sites. Further, it
only addresses the adoption process for the park and recreation plan and analysis, allowing an
aspirational plan to be adopted. Therefore, it does not affect or conflict with any policy within the
City’s refinement plans, none of which address that process.
EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Action: An Ordinance Concerning Utility Service to Support Economic Development in the Industrial Corridor Community Organization and Amending Section 9.8117 of the Eugene Code, 1971 Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item: 5 Department: Planning and Development Department Staff Contact: Denny Braud www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5536
ISSUE STATEMENT Council is scheduled to take action on this land use code amendment intended to help facilitate economic development opportunities within an area known as the “Industrial Corridor” in northwest Eugene (see vicinity map included as Attachment A). To allow industrial development to proceed efficiently in the area where annexation is not currently possible, the proposed land use code amendment would require binding annexation agreements, and enable extension of sanitary sewer and water service outside the City limits where necessary.
BACKGROUND Council’s public hearing on this item was held on May 15, 2017. One person, Joshua D. Monge on behalf of the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, testified in support of the proposed amendment. This policy question was initially posed to the Council in November of 2016, with unanimous approval to bring the proposal forward for consideration. Since that time, staff has developed the proposed ordinance and findings addressing all applicable approval criteria (see Attachment B). The Planning Commission also held an initial public hearing and voted unanimously on April 11, 2017 to recommend that Council approve the proposed land use code amendment. The subject area is represented by the Industrial Corridor Community Organization (“ICCO”), which is a non-profit, formally recognized community organization. The ICCO boundary is generally the large triangle of land lying between the Northwest Expressway on the east and the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to the west and north. Much of the subject area is currently outside the City limits but within the UGB. The lack of certain urban services like sanitary sewer, and the lack of contiguity with City limits, has hindered the ability for a number of properties to annex and pursue development plans in the near term. This is a barrier to our community’s high-priority goal of supporting jobs and economic development on lands already planned for industrial development. If left unaddressed, development proposals
and job creation will continue to be constrained in this area. The proposed land use code amendment is designed to address the issue while making sure City services are adequately and fairly funded. Consistent with the goals and objectives of Envision Eugene, the Regional Economic Prosperity Plan, and the Metro Plan, encouraging development and redevelopment within the ICCO area has the potential to create highly-desirable manufacturing jobs within local key industries. Property outside the City but inside the UGB (as is the majority of the ICCO area) was previously able to annex even if the property was not contiguous to City limits, provided that the Lane County Boundary Commission approved the request. However, with the abolishment of the Boundary Commission by the Legislature in 2008, annexations must now be contiguous to City limits. In addition to making it difficult to develop unless property first annexed, these changes also have the effect of precluding non-contiguous annexations, which in turn prevents the annexation of individual properties in the majority of the ICCO area. These changes occurred prior to the beginning of the recent recession. With development activity picking up again over the last several years, the policy question about whether to allow annexation agreements, rather than immediate annexation, warrants consideration by Council. In several cases, property owners have been unable to proceed with development plans due to lack of contiguity with City limits or the availability of urban services (which means they cannot annex). The alternative of allowing annexation agreements, along with enabling extension of sanitary sewer service outside the City limits, would be an efficient way to allow industrial development to proceed in the area with binding agreements to annex in the future when possible. RELATED CITY POLICIES Encouraging development and redevelopment within the ICCO area supports a variety of adopted planning and policy goals and objectives. Examples include: Envision Eugene Pillars
o Provide ample economic opportunities for all community members 1(a). Plan for an employment growth rate of 1.4 percent. This growth rate translates into an increase of 35,800 jobs over 20 years. 1(c). Work with property owners of current vacant or developed industrial lands, especially those larger than 25 acres, to reduce the financial and regulatory obstacles to development, with a goal of making these sites ready for development. Regional Prosperity Economic Development Plan o By 2020, create 20,000 net new jobs in the chosen economic opportunity areas; reduce the local unemployment rate to, or below the state average; and increase the average wage to or above the state average.
o Strengthen Key Industries
• Identify strategies to address unique and logistical needs of existing and emerging industries
• Develop associations or networks among targeted cluster businesses for innovative networking, information-sharing and provide opportunities for business growth
• Pursue opportunities to expand and recruit businesses, ideas, and entrepreneurs into our region
• Enhance our existing business and community The attached findings (see Exhibit B to Attachment B) also address consistency with applicable Metro Plan policies and relevant Statewide Planning Goals, as is required for approval of the proposed land use code amendment. COUNCIL OPTIONS The City Council may consider the following options: 1. Approve the ordinance; 2. Approve the ordinance with specific modifications as determined by the City Council; 3. Deny the ordinance.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION Based on the supportive testimony received to date, and the unanimous recommendation for approval from the Eugene Planning Commission, the City Manager recommends that Council take action to adopt the ordinance as drafted.
SUGGESTED MOTION Move to adopt Council Bill 5174, an ordinance concerning utility service to support economic development in the industrial corridor. ATTACHMENTS A. Vicinity Map B.

Legislative Findings:
Economic Development in the Industrial Corridor
(City File CA 17-2)
Overview
The goal of this City-initiated land use code amendment is to help facilitate economic development
opportunities within an area known as the “Industrial Corridor” in northwest Eugene.
The area is represented by the Industrial Corridor Community Organization (“ICCO”), which is a non-
profit, formally recognized community organization. The ICCO boundary is generally the large
triangle of land lying between the Northwest Expressway on the east and the Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) on the west (see map included as Exhibit A to the ordinance).
Most of the property within the ICCO area is zoned and designated for industrial uses. The ICCO area
includes many large parcels, some developed by local legacy industries, some undeveloped, and
some under-developed. The ICCO area includes about 1,652 acres, approximately 96% of which is
zoned industrial (38% Heavy Industrial/I-3, and 59% Light-Medium Industrial/I-2). Proximity to
highways, railroad, and airport make the area highly-conducive to industrial uses. At the same time,
there are development challenges associated with current policies and land use code requirements,
availability of urban services such as sanitary sewer, and lack of contiguity with City limits for a large
portion of the area. Consistent with the goals and objectives of the Metro Plan and Regional
Economic Prosperity Plan, encouraging development and redevelopment within the ICCO area has
the potential to create highly-desirable manufacturing jobs within local key industries.
Most of the area is outside the City limits of Eugene and does not have access to the full range of
urban services such as sanitary sewer, stormwater drainage, police, and fire protection. Much of the
area receives its necessary services through special districts, and may need on-site sewage disposal
systems, until such time as individual properties are annexed to the City. In accordance with state
and federal laws, as well as the Metro Plan and land use code, properties seeking development on
these lands in most cases require connection to the City’s sewer system and provision of other urban
services by the City of Eugene. The Metro Plan anticipates that all lands within the UGB will
eventually be annexed and served by the City. However, the lack of certain urban services like
sanitary sewer, and the lack of contiguity with City limits, has hindered the ability for many properties
to annex in the near term.
Property outside the City but inside the UGB (as is the majority of the ICCO area) was previously able
to annex even if the property was not contiguous to City limits, provided that the Lane County
Boundary Commission approved the request. However, with the abolishment of the Boundary
Commission by the Legislature in 2008, annexations must now be contiguous to city limits. In
addition to making it difficult to develop unless property first annexed, these changes also have the
effect of precluding non-contiguous annexations, which in turn prevents the annexation of individual
properties in the majority of the ICCO area. These changes occurred prior to the beginning of the
recent recession. With development activity picking up again over the last several years, the policy
question about whether to allow annexation agreements, rather than immediate annexation,
warrants consideration by Council. In several cases, property owners have been unable to proceed
Findings - 2
with development plans due to lack of contiguity with City limits or the availability of urban services
(which means they cannot annex).
The alternative of allowing annexation agreements, along with enabling extension of sanitary sewer
services outside the City limits, would be an efficient way to allow industrial development to proceed
in the area, with a binding agreement to annex in the future when possible
This policy question was posed to the Council in November of 2016, with a recommendation from the
City Manager and unanimous approval by the Council of a motion directing the City Manager to
schedule a public hearing to allow property in the ICCO area to develop either by annexing or, if non-
contiguous, signing an irrevocable consent to annex.
To that end, these legislative findings have been prepared in support of an ordinance which includes
a land use code amendment and related provisions. The land use code amendment will create an
exception to the requirements for Extra-Territorial Extension of Water or Sewer Service in Chapter 9
of the Eugene Code (see EC 9.8115-9.8121), which is a necessary component to enable development
for some properties not already served with water and sewer facilities.
Findings of Compliance with Applicable Approval Criteria
Below are legislative findings addressing the land use code amendment, which is the only aspect of
the ordinance subject to the approval criteria for code amendments at EC 9.8065 (listed below in
bold, with findings addressing each).
EC 9.8065(1): [The amendment] is consistent with applicable statewide planning goals as
adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission.
Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement. To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the
opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.
The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement which ensure the opportunity for
community members to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements
for such involvement. The amendment does not amend the citizen involvement program. The
process for adopting these amendments complies with Goal 1 because it is consistent with the citizen
involvement provisions.
A Notice of Proposed Amendment was filed with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and
Development on March 7, 2017. The formal public hearings on the proposal will be duly noticed to
all neighborhood organizations, community groups and individuals who have requested notice, as
well as to the City of Springfield and Lane County. In addition, notice of the public hearing was
published in the Register Guard. Following action by the Eugene Planning Commission (to make a
recommendation on the ordinance and code amendment), the Eugene City Council will hold a duly
noticed public hearing to consider approval, modification, or denial of the proposal. These processes
afford ample opportunity for citizen involvement consistent with Goal 1. Therefore, the code
amendment is consistent with the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 1.
Findings - 3
Goal 2 - Land Use Planning. To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a
basis for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual basis for
such decisions and actions.
The Eugene Code (Land Use, Chapter 9) specifies the procedures and criteria that are to be used in
considering this code amendment. The record shows that there is an adequate factual basis for the
ordinance and code amendment, including findings and evidence demonstrating compliance with all
applicable approval criteria.
The Goal 2 coordination requirement is met when the City engages in an exchange, or invites such an
exchange, between the City and any affected governmental unit and when the City uses the
information obtained in the exchange to balance the needs of the citizens. To comply with the Goal 2
coordination requirement, the City will engage in an exchange about the subject of these plan
amendments with all of the affected governmental units. Specifically, the City provided notice of the
action and opportunity to comment to Lane County, Springfield and the Oregon Department of Land
Conservation and Development. There are no exceptions to Statewide Planning Goal 2 required for
this code amendment. The code amendment is therefore consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2.
Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands. To preserve agricultural lands.
The amendment is for property located within the UGB and does not affect any land designated for
agricultural use. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 3 does not apply.
Goal 4 - Forest Lands. To conserve forest lands.
The amendment is for property located within the UGB and does not affect any land designated for
forest use. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 4 does not apply.
Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources. To conserve open space
and protect natural and scenic resources.
OAR 660-023-0250(3) provides: Local governments are not required to apply Goal 5 in consideration
of a PAPA unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. For purposes of this section, a PAPA would affect
a Goal 5 resource only if:
(a) The PAPA creates or amends a resource list or a portion of an acknowledged plan or land use
regulation adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific
requirements of Goal 5;
(b) The PAPA allows new uses that could be conflicting uses with a particular significant Goal 5
resource site on an acknowledged resource list; or
(c) The PAPA amends an acknowledged UGB and factual information is submitted demonstrating
that a resource site, or the impact areas of such a site, is included in the amended UGB area.
The amendment does not create or amend the City’s adopted inventory of Goal 5 resources, does not
amend a code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address
specific requirements of Goal 5. It does not allow new uses that could be conflicting uses with a
Findings - 4
significant Goal 5 resource site, and does not amend the acknowledged UGB. Therefore, Statewide
Planning Goal 5 does not apply.
Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality. To maintain and improve the quality of the air,
water and land resources of the state.
Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, aimed at protecting air, water and
land from impacts from those discharges. To the extent the code amendment will enable extra-
territorial extension of sanitary sewer service to some ICCO properties, it will generally reduce the
likelihood or need for new on-site sewage disposal systems and thereby reduce the potential for
groundwater contamination. It will not change any policies or regulations with regard to Eugene
Water and Electric Board’s role as the provider of water service for the City, other than to enable
extension of water service for ICCO properties that may not already be connected. The amendment
does not otherwise change any of the City’s regulations with regard to stormwater treatment or air
quality. The amendment is therefore consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 6, to the extent it
might be considered applicable.
Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards. To protect life and property from natural
disasters and hazards.
Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and
property from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis
and wildfires. The goal prohibits a development in natural hazard areas without appropriate
safeguards. The amendment does not directly affect the City’s existing regulatory restrictions or
other adopted plan provisions for development in areas subject to natural disasters and hazards, or
otherwise require further analysis as part of the amendment. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 7
does not apply.
Goal 8 - Recreational Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and
visitors, and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities
including destination resorts.
Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned
with the provision of those facilities in non-urban areas of the state. The amendment does not affect
the City’s provisions for or access to recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities.
Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 8 does not apply.
Goal 9 - Economic Development. To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a
variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon’s citizens.
The amendment will not impact any industrial or commercial use designations, nor amend the City’s
required inventory for industrial and commercial lands. Nonetheless, it will help to facilitate
economic development and redevelopment opportunities in the ICCO area as previously discussed,
and further addressed below with regard to relevant policies of the Metro Plan. In general, it will
help to enable development of industrial land in the ICCO area that is already included as part of the
Findings - 5
City’s previously adopted inventory. The amendment is therefore consistent with Statewide Planning
Goal 9, to extent that it might be considered applicable.
Goal 10 - Housing. To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state.
Goal 10 requires communities to provide an adequate supply of residential buildable land to
accommodate estimated housing needs for a 20-year planning period. The amendment does not
impact the supply of residential buildable land. No land is being re-designated from residential use to
a non-residential use, and the amendments do not otherwise diminish the lands available for
residential use. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10.
Goal 11- Public Facilities and Services. To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient
arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural
development.
The amendment will not impact or amend the Public Facilities and Services Plan, which is adopted as
a refinement of the Metro Plan. It will be consistent with relevant policies from the Public Facilities
and Services Element of the Metro Plan, as addressed below in the findings addressing consistency
with its applicable provisions. The amendment also does not include any capital public infrastructure
projects to extend facilities and services to the area.
As previously discussed, the amendment will help to facilitate economic development opportunities
in the ICCO area, where annexation may not be possible in the near term due to a lack of contiguity
or availability of public services and facilities such as sanitary sewer. Specifically, the code
amendment will enable extra-territorial extension of water or sewer service where needed, in
combination with irrevocable annexation agreements that will thereby facilitate future annexation.
As relevant here, the amendment will enable the extension of water or sanitary sewer service, as the
need may arise to accommodate development in the ICCO area. The amendment is therefore
consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11, to extent that it might be considered applicable.
Goal 12- Transportation. To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation
system.
Goal 12 is implemented by the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) as defined in Oregon
Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0060. TPR contains the following requirement:
(1) If an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use
regulation (including a zoning map) would significantly affect an existing or planned
transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures as provided in
section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section (3), (9) or (10) of this rule.
A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it
would:
(a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility
(exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan);
(b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or
Findings - 6
(c) Result in any of the effects listed in paragraphs (A) through (C) of this subsection based on
projected conditions measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted
TSP. As part of evaluating projected conditions, the amount of traffic projected to be
generated within the area of the amendment may be reduced if the amendment includes
an enforceable, ongoing requirement that would demonstrably limit traffic generation,
including, but not limited to, transportation demand management. This reduction may
diminish or completely eliminate the significant effect of the amendment.
(A) Types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification
of an existing or planned transportation facility;
(B) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility such that it
would not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive
plan; or
(C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is
otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or
comprehensive plan.
The amendment does not change the functional classification of a transportation facility, change the
standards implementing a functional classification system or degrade the preformation of a facility
otherwise projected to not meet performance standards. Therefore, the amendment does not have
a significant effect under (a), (b) or (c). As such, the amendment does not significantly affect any
existing or future transportation facilities and is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12.
Goal 13 - Energy Conservation. To conserve energy.
The amendment does not impact energy conservation in a manner that would require further
analysis under Goal 13. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 13 does not apply.
Goal 14 - Urbanization. To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land
use.
The amendment does not affect the City’s provisions regarding the transition of land from rural to
urban uses. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 14 does not apply.
Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway. To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural,
scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette
River as the Willamette River Greenway.
The amendment does not contain any changes that affect the Willamette River Greenway
regulations. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 15 does not apply.
Goal 16 through 19 - Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean
Resources.
There are no estuarine resources, coastal shore lands, beaches and dunes, or other ocean resources
involved or otherwise affected by the amendment. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goals 16 through
Findings - 7
19 do not apply.
EC 9.8065(2): [The amendment] is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan
and applicable adopted refinement plans.
The code amendment does not include any amendment of the Metro Plan text or land use
designations. The findings below confirm that the code amendment is otherwise consistent with, and
supported by, a number of relevant Metro Plan policies. There is no adopted refinement plan for the
ICCO area, thus no further analysis is requires related to applicable adopted refinement plan
provisions.
Growth Management Policies
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.
The intent of the amendment is to facilitate annexation agreements and extra-territorial extension of
water and sanitary sewer services as necessary to support development activity in the ICCO area. As
noted previously, the majority of properties in the ICCO area to are currently unable to annex or
obtain necessary urban services (particularly sanitary sewer). The allowance of binding annexation
agreements and service extension to accommodate near-term development activity in the area, will
ultimately facilitate future annexation of ICCO properties.
20. When unincorporated territory within the UGB is provided with any new urban service,
that service shall be provided by the following method (in priority order).
a. Annexation to a city;
b. Contractual annexation agreements with a city;
c. Annexation to an existing district (under conditions described previously in Policy
#19); or
d. Creation of a new service district (under conditions described previously in Policy
#14).
As previously discussed, the majority of unincorporated territory in the ICCO area is unable to annex
to the City as a result of several factors. The code amendment will grant automatic approval for
extra-territorial extension of wastewater and water service for ICCO properties, subject to a binding
agreement to annex in the future when possible. The amendment is therefore consistent with the
above policy by requiring a contractual agreement for future annexation as a condition of service
extension, where immediate annexation is not currently possible.
21. Cities shall not extend water or wastewater service outside city limits to serve a residence
or business without first obtaining a valid annexation petition, a consent to annex
agreement, or when a health hazard annexation is required.
Findings - 8
Consistent with the above policy, the code amendment will require a consent to annex agreement as
a condition of wastewater or water service extension outside the City limits but within the ICCO (and
within the UGB).
Economic Element
B.10 Encourage opportunities for a variety of heavy industrial development in Oregon’s second
largest metropolitan area.
B.11 Encourage economic activities, which strengthen the metropolitan area’s position as a
regional distribution, trade, health, and service center.
B.17 Improve land availability for industries dependent on rail access.
B.25 Pursue an aggressive annexation program and servicing of designated industrial lands in
order to have a sufficient supply of “development ready” land.
The code amendment is consistent with the above policies by facilitating economic development
opportunities within the ICCO area, where many industrial properties are currently unable to annex
or obtain urban services within the UGB. While immediate annexation of non-contiguous properties
wishing to move forward with development plans in the near term cannot be allowed under current
state law, any extra-territorial wastewater or water service extension will require a binding
annexation agreement. In combination, annexation agreements and service extensions will
encourage economic activities and opportunities for a variety of heavy industrial development with
good rail access, facilitate future annexation when it becomes possible, and improve the overall
“development ready” status for ICCO properties.
Public Facilities and Services Element
G.9 Wastewater conveyance and treatment shall be provided to meet the needs of projected
growth inside the UGB that are capable of complying with regulatory requirements
governing beneficial reuse or discharge of effluent and beneficial reuse or disposal of
residuals.
The code amendment will facilitate wastewater service to ICCO properties that may not already be
served, but where service is necessary to accommodate industrial development. The ICCO area is
ultimately planned for future annexation to the City and is part of the projected growth and land area
needed for industrial development within the UGB. To the extent this policy is relevant, service
extension to the ICCO area will facilitate wastewater treatment at the regional treatment facility prior
to effluent discharge or beneficial reuse/disposal of residuals.
Based on these findings, the code amendment is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro
Plan as required.
EC 9.8065(3): In the case of establishment of a special area zone, [the amendment] is
consistent with EC 9.3020 Criteria for Establishment of an S Special Area Zone.
Findings - 9
The code amendment does not include the establishment of any special area zone. As such, the
above criterion does not apply.

EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Action: A Resolution Granting a Measure 49 Claim and Waiving a Provision of Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971 for Property Located at 1777 E. 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon (Assessor’s Map 18-03-08-11, Tax Lot 602) Meeting Date: May 22, 2017 Agenda Item Number: 6 Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Alissa Hansen
www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5508
ISSUE STATEMENT The Eugene City Council is asked to set a date to close the record on a Measure 49 claim submitted by Chad and Katie Wilson for the alleged reduction in fair market value to their property located at 1777 E. 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon. A map of the property is provided as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND The Measure 49 claim filed by Chad and Katie Wilson seeks a waiver of a City land use regulation, adopted in 2014, that limits the height of a detached secondary dwelling unit on the Wilsons’ property. A public hearing on the Wilsons’ Measure 49 claim was held on January 17, 2017. At that January 17th meeting, the Council voted to keep the record open for submission of written testimony until January 27, 2017, and to allow the claimant to submit rebuttal argument and evidence until February 3, 2017, so that the Council could adopt a resolution approving or denying the claim on or before April 1, 2017. On January 24, 2017, the City received an email from the claimants’ attorney extending the deadline for a decision on the claim for an additional 60 days, and requesting that the City hold off on processing the claim in the interim, to allow the claimants and neighborhood stakeholders to discuss a possible alternative resolution to the claim. The 60 day extension moved the City’s decision deadline to May 31, 2017. On May 10, 2017, the City received a second email from the claimants’ attorney, requesting an additional 30-day extension to allow the claimant to continue discussions with neighborhood stakeholders. This additional 30-day extension moves the City’s decision deadline to June 30, 2017. To facilitate that decision, staff is recommending the following schedule:
•Open-Record Period: Anyone may submit written evidence or arguments related to theWilson’s Measure 49 claim until 5:00 p.m. on June 5, 2017.
•Claimants’ Rebuttal Period: State law requires the City to allow the claimants “the finalword.” Therefore, only the claimant (including the claimant’s representative) may submit
written evidence and arguments between 5:01 p.m. on June 5, 2017, and 5:00 p.m. on June 12, 2017. The evidence and arguments submitted during the claimants’ rebuttal period must respond to testimony or submittals received during the open record period. This will allow the Council to hold a work session and make a final decision on the Wilsons’ Measure 49 claim by June 30, 2017. If the Council approves the open record schedule above, staff will mail notice of the open record deadlines on May 23, 2017, to anyone who received notice of the January 17 public hearing on the Wilson Measure 49 claim, as well as anyone who submitted written testimony on the claim, anyone who testified at the public hearing on the claim, and anyone who asked to be notified about the claim. RELATED CITY POLICIES None. COUNCIL OPTIONS The Council is asked to take action to approve a schedule for closing the record for the Measure 49 claim submitted by Chad and Katie Wilson.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends that the Council adopt the open record schedule outlined in this AIS.
SUGGESTED MOTION I move to close the record for the Wilson Measure 49 claim at 5:00 p.m. on June 5, 2017. I further move to close the claimants’ rebuttal period at 5:00 p.m. on June 12, 2017.
