" GRANT A VARIANCE ON A PUBLISHED NOTICE SETTING DATE FOR HEARING FOR REZONING WAS SUBMITTED I

" AND READ AS FOLLOWS: I
I ' ~ . "I N RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUEST FOR AN OPINION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE COMMON COUNCIL

- - --
~. , .- --
ALTHOUGH AN EXTENSI VE SEARCH HAS BEEN MADE, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE ~O FIND ANY CASE WHERE I
THIS PRECI SEQUESTI ON HAS' BEEN PRESENTED TO A SUPREME COURT. I DO FIND THAT THE GENERAL
PRINCIPLE APPLIED TO NOTICES PERTAINING TO ZONING IS THAT THE NOTICE MUST GIVE A REASON-
ABLE NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS WHO MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSED CHA,NGE. IT WOULD,
THEREFORE, BE MY OPINION THA.J.THE COMMON COUNCIL WOULD HAVE JURISDICT-ION TO MAKE ANY I
CHANGE WHICH WOULD 'HAVE. BEEN INCLUDED REZONING AS:PUBLISHED. To BE SPECIFIC, I
I N THE MORE I
I
A VARIANCE COULD ~E ALLOWED FOR ANY USE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THt PROPOSED
REZONING CHANGE. THIS WOULD ALSO APPLY TO A CHANGt'IN CLASSIFICATION WHERE ALL OF THE
USES BEING ALLOWED COULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE REZONING AS PUBLISHED. As AN EXAMPLE,
SI:IOULD THE PUBLISHED NOTICE CALL FOR A CHANGE TO C-3, THE COUNCIL'WOULD HAVE JURISDICTION II
TO REZONE THE AREA TO EITHER C-2 OR C-I. HOWEVER, SHOULD THE PUBLI SHED NOTI CE CALL FOR
A REZONING TO C-2, THE COUNCIL WOULD NOT HAVE 'JURISDICTION TO REZONgmHE AREA TO' C~ I , II
FOR THE REASON THAT ALL OF THE USES ALLOWED IN C-I ARE NOT PERMI -rTED IN A C-2 CLASSIFI-
CATION.
IT WOUtD BE MY FURTHER OPINION THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD'HAVE JURISDICTION TO REZONE OR II
,
GRANT A VARIANCE TO ANY AREA SMALLER IN SI ZE BUT INCLUDED WITHIN THE AREA CONCERNING i
WHICH THE NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED. .CONVERSEL Y, THE COUNCIU WOULD HAVE NO JURISDICTION TO i e
ENLARGE ANY AREA FROM THAT WHICH WAS PUBLISHED. NEITHER WOULD THE COUNCIL HAVE JURIS-
DICTION TO GRANT A VARIANCE OR REZONING TO ANY CLASSIFICATION WHICH WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED Ii I
WITHIN THE.CHANGE PROPOSED IN THE NOTICE. ~
ApPLYING THESE RULES TO THE EXACT QUESTION PROPOUNDED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, IT Ii
WOULD BE MY OPINION THAT THE COUNCIL ACTED PROPERLY IN GRA,NT I NG THE VARIANCE FOR MR. il
TOMMY WILLIAMS BECAUSE THE USE FOR WHICH THE VARI A.NCE WAS GRANTED WAS INCLUDED WITHIN I
THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION WHICH WAS SPECIFIED IN THE PUBLISHED NOTICE. ApPLYING THESE Ii
SAME RULES TO OUR PROCEDURE IN THE FUTURE, IT WOULD BE MY,OPINION THAT IF A NOTICE OF A
PROPOSED ZONING CLASSIFICATION WAS GIVEN THE COMMON COUNCIL COULD GRANT A VARIANCE UNDER 11
THE TERMS OF OUR NEW ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO VARIANCES, SUBJECT OF COURSE, TO THE FORE-
GOING RESTRICTIONS. " II

BOND ATTORNEY, IN THE CITY OF PORTLAND, ON AUGUST 28, 19.53, REGARD,I NG THE SECURING OF II
I'
FUNDS TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE OFF-STREET PARKING LOTS. MR. SHULER' HAS. MADE AN EX,TENSIVE ii
STUDY OF ALL 6F THE CASES IN THE UNITE~ STATES DEALING WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IMPROVE-
MENT DISTRICTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING PROJE-CTS SIMILAR TO OFF-STREET PARKING LOTS.
AFTER A GOOD DEAL OF STUDY AND DELIBERATION, MR. SHU.LER STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT APPROVE It
1\
BONDS WHICH WERE REPAYABLE OUT OF MONEY TO BE RAISED FROM A,N IMPROVE-MENT DISTRICT UNLESS "
SUPREME COURT AND' ~HE SUPREME COURT UPHELD "
A TEST SUIT WAS TAKEN TO THE THE FORMULA II

IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT METHOD WAS THE i'
FOLLOWED, E N T.I R E PROCEDURE MIGHT TAKE FROM TWO TO. FOUR I;
YEARS, AND IF THE SUPREME COURT MADE A DECISIO~ ADVERSE TO THE CITY, THAT THE CITY WOULD 1',
THEN BE IN EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION AS IT IS AT THE PRESENT TIME.,
IT WAS MR. SHULER'S OPINION THAT THE CITY OF EUGENE COULD ,PROCEED TO FINANCE GENERAL
OBLIGATION BONDS BY EITHER ONE OF TWO METHODS, OR A COMBINAT,ION OF THEM. IN ANY EVENT
I,
HE STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT APPROVE ANY BONDS UNLESS A CHA,RTER AMENDMENT WAS FIRST I
CITY OF EUGENE, AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO PURCHASE I
SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS OF THE AND "
OPERATE OFF-STREET PARKING LOTS AND TO ISSUE BONDS FOR THE PURPOSE' OF FINANCING THE SAME. I! e
I,
THE TWO METHODS THAT MR. SHULER POINTED OUT TO US MIGHT BE SATISFACTO~Y WERE AS FOLLOWS: II
,I
I . To PLEDGE ALL OF THE PARKING METER REVENUE TO THE REPAYMENT OF THE BONDS. II
2. To LEVY A MILLAGE TAX OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS AGAINST ALL OF THE PROPERTY WITHIN THE i!
,I
CI TV OF EUGENE. I:

PLEDGED TO REPAYMENT OF OBLIGATION BOND~ IN 'I
THE THE GENERA,L ANY EVENT. I'
1\
SHOULD THE COUNCIL DESIRE TO PROCEED IN THIS MATTER, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE PROPER :1
PROCEDURE WOULD BE TO AUTHORIZE THE DRAFTING OF A PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT TO BE II
SUBMITTED TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF EUGENE AT A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD EITHER
SEPARATE\- Y OR AT THE GENERAL ELECTION I N MA Y , 1954. IN THE EVENT THAT A SPECIAL ELECTION 1\
