(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)
(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 anns 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
YES NO
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. is consistent with
the following policy under Section 3.8 Police Protection:
River Road (A 17-6) May 2017 Page 1
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,
YES NO
efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
Wastewater

will continue to own and maintain the public storm system within the right-of-way after the
