The adjourned meeting of June 17, 1987, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Brian B. Obie. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: AWBREY/MEADOWVIEW METRO PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL City Manager Mi chea 1 Gleason introduced the item. Teresa Bishow of the Planning Department gave the staff report. She said the council directed the Planning Commission to develop a specifi c Metropo 1 i tan Area General Plan amendment for the Awbrey/Meadowview area after the council considered the Alternative Industrial Growth Areas Study. She said the amendment recommended by the commission would expand the urban growth boundary to provide about 200 acres for heavy industrial use. e Ms. Bishow said the merits of the proposed Metro Plan amendment will be analyzed after it is initiated. She said the council had received copies of a June 1, 1987, memo to Interested Parties from the Pl anni ng Department concerning "Awbrey/Meadowview Metro Plan Amendment Proposal;" several maps; letters from the Blachly-Lane County Co-op Electric Association and Marilyn Andrysek and Frank Andrysek; a petition signed by about 20 people; and letters from Jack Hough of Bob Bennett Realty and Jim Saul. She distributed copies of a June 18, 1987, letter from the Oregon Natural Resources Council and a June 22,1987, letter from Greg Winterowd, Springfield Planning Director. She said Mr. Winterowd's letter said the Springfield Planning Commission recommended that all Metro Plan amendments based on the Alternative Industrial Growth Areas Study be reviewed during the Metro Plan Update. Ms. Bi show suggested the counci 1 take publ ic testimony on the proposed amendment and then decide about initiating it. If it is initiated, the council could then decide whether it should be considered during the Metro Plan Update or s@parately_ ShQ said tn~ council may modify the proposed amendment. Mayor Obie emphasized that the issue before the council does not concern the proper zoning for the Awbrey/Meadowview property. The issue is consideration of a Metro Plan amendment that would expand the urban growth boundary to include the Awbrey/Meadowview property for heavy industrial use. He asked people to testify about the issue. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 1 Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. e Jim Saul, Suite 300, 111 West 7th Avenue, said he represented the owners of the Awbrey/Meadowview property. He said the council decided in 1985, and again in 1987, that it would be appropriate to consider the Awbrey/Meadowview Metro Plan amendment prior to the Metro Plan Update. Reviewing a Planning Department presentation to the council on May 13, Mr. Saul sa i d property designated for heavy industrial use with railroad access is in demand, the inventory of such property in the Eugene/Springfield area is very limited, and the Awbrey/Meadowview property is unique and has access to two railroads. Mr. Saul recommended the council initiate the Awbrey/Meadowview Metro Plan amendment now. He said the Lane County Board of Commissioners has initiated the amendment. He said the council needs more information before it decides how much the urban growth boundary should be expanded. He recommended that the council stipulate that the analyses required when the Metro Plan amendment is considered should determine how many acres should be in the Awbrey/Meadowview site. Mr. Saul said he concurred with the Planning Commission recommendation that a 40-acre minimum parcel size be required in the Awbrey/Meadowview property. He said Mayor Obie requested information on May 13 about the intentions of the property owners and that information is contained in Mr. Saul's June 18 letter. Gordon Ell i ott, 1414 Polk, said the Awbrey/Meadowview site is the best location in the area for heavy industrial use. He said it has railroad and hi ghway access; it has good water, good dra i nage, and is close to the e wastewater plant; and it has good subsurface soil for multi-story buildings. He said it can be developed cheaper than other properties and industries would be there now if it had been designated for industrial development. Vick.i Dietmeyer, 44 West Broadway, is Executive Di rector of the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Partnership. She said the Partnership is receiving fewer inquiries than before about special light industrial sites and more inquiries about sites for heavy and medium-heavy industrial sites. She said 10 to 15 prospects have asked about heavy and medium-heavy sites in the last six months. The prospects usually want 20- to 40-acre sites and, as the Fantas Study indicated, there are very few such sites in the Eugene- Springfield area. Ms. Dietmeyer said the existing 20- to 100-acre sites in the metropolitan area are not aesthetically pleasing. She discussed negotiations with the B.F. Goodrich Company. She said the existing, appropriately designated sites did not have a pleasant appearance, some did not have the necessary infrastructure, and some are wetlands with soils that cannot bear heavy loads. She said Partnership representatives are working with officials of a Japanese business now and the only site that meets their requirements might be a wetland. If the company does not locate in Eugene, it will be because the officials cannot find a suitable site. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 2 Ms. Dietmeyer said the Eugene-Springfield area is 1 os inq industrial prospects because of inadequate industrial sites. She said the Partnership e and Planning staffs will consider redesignating some special light industrial sites. If that cannot be done, then heavy industrial sites should be added to the inventory. She said the Awbrey/Meadowview site is excellent for heavy industrial use but it might be a burden for the community to service. She sa i d she has been told the owners will bear some or all of the cost of extending services. John McCulley, 1385 Oak, said he represents Don Jones who owns 60 acres south of Awbrey Lane and Zip-a-Log which owns 54 acres adjacent to Mr. Jones. property. He said he hoped he represented the owner of 74 acres east of the Zip-a-Log property. He said those owners have had a problem since the Metro Plan designation of the properties was changed from M-3 Heavy Industrial to M-4 Special Heavy industrial with a 40-acre minimum parcel size. He reviewed the size of the ownerships and said 40-acre parcels are difficult to develop. Mr. McCulley said the Jones property has access to the Burlington Northern Railroad, sanitary sewers, and Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) water. He said there would be a need for industrial property north of Awbrey Lane if the 40-acre minimum parcel size requirement is removed from the industrial properties south of Awbrey Lane. In that case, five-acre parcels could be developed between Enid Station Road and Awbrey Lane. He said his clients are ready to annex their properties. Mayor Obie said the properties Mr. McCulley discussed are not included in the Metro Plan amendment the council is considering. Mr. Obie suggested Mr. McCulley's clients propose a change in the designation of their properties e during the Metro Plan Update. Robert Emmons, 1064 West 5th, said the proposed change in the Metro Plan designation for the Awbrey/Meadowview property and a railroad spur to the property do not conform to Statewide Planning Goal #3. He said the statement in the Planning Department1s June 1 memo that lithe new goal would indicate the community's desire to provide for large-scale industrial users. . ." does not reflect his desires. He said no valid survey has measured the community's desire concerning large-scale industrial users. Mr. Emmons said the City administration and the local mass media will not assess the community's desire. He said the issue should be voted on by the public. He discussed the Van Duyn Chocolate Company and said basic questions about the company's solvency were not asked. He said the site it was to occupy is empty and vanda 1 i zed. He sa i d the effect of that project on the community's 1; vabil ity was not reasonably addressed. He discussed air pollution in the area. He said the new zoning would permit an aluminium smelting plant. Mr. Emmons said Stub Stewart addressed the council at an evening work session when other citizens were not permitted to address the council. He said Mr. Stewart's speech was unfair and unethical. To be fair, he requested that the Awbrey/Meadowview Metro Plan amendment be presented to the voters now with a thorough analysis and explanation of its ecological impact. He submitted e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 3 his testimony and a statement from Sustainable Eugene Economic Development (SEED) in writing. e Nena Lovinger, 1445 East 21st, said she represented the Oregon Natural Resources Council. She said James Montieth, Executive Director of the Oregon Natura 1 Resources Council, reviewed many relevant documents and concluded that approval of the Awbrey-Meadowview Metro Plan amendment would be contrary to the area's prudent land use planning goals. She said the Awbrey-Meadowview property is prime agricultural soil and Statewide Planning Goal #3 indicates that prime agricultural soils should be preserved for agricultural purposes unless conclusive evidence proves it is not needed for agriculture. Ms. Lovinger said the Awbrey-Meadowview site should not be used for industrial development. She said the community agreed not to solicit heavy industries unt il Stub Stewart promoted his aspirations for the Awbrey-Meadowvi ew property. She said sound planning decisions should not be disregarded. She said there are 3,900 acres of industrial land within the urban growth boundary. Parcels should be consolidated to form suitable sites. Ms. Lovinger said expansion of the urban growth boundary would encourage urban sprawl and pollution. She said the Metro Plan provides for land use needs, facilities, and services for a population of 293,700. Expansion of the urban growth boundary is not warranted now. She said Mayor Obie was remiss in permitting Stub Stewart to address the council in a February work session. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. e Responding to the testimony, Ms. Bishow said a description of the Enid-Awbrey area discussed by Mr. McCulley is included in the Awbrey-Meadowview Metro Plan amendment. The amendment indicates that urban services can be provided to the area and that the City will consider reducing the minimum parcel size to 20 acres following annexations. She sa i d the 40-acre mi n i mum pa rce 1 size designation was applied partly to justify the Metro Plan allocation for heavy industrial uses. Ms. Brody said justification for five-acre parcels in the Enid-Awbrey site would be difficult. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Bishow said the Enid-Awbrey site will be analyzed when the Awbrey-Meadowview Metro Plan amendment is evaluated. She said the Metro Plan Update will begin July 1,1987, and the Springfield Planning Commission wishes to consider all major Metro Plan amendments during the update. Ms. Brody said the update will be completed in 1990. If the Awbrey-Meadowview amendment is initiated separate from the Metro Plan Update, its consideration Will take only about six months. Of course, appeals to the decision may be submitted. A railroad spur would have to be constructed to the Awbrey-Meadowview site and the property owners indicated they will pay for the spur. Extending sewers to the site might cost $300,000. The property owners indicated they will pay part or all of that cost. Mr. Gleason said the improvements probably would be financed with a Bancroft loan. Answering a question from Ms. Schue, Ms. Brody said the Metro Plan Update process will evaluate all heavy industrial sites in the metropolitan area and will take about two-and-a-half years. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 4 Replying to questions from Mr. Miller and Ms. Bascom) Ms. Bishow said the Awbrey-Meadowview site is in farm use and has a farm deferral. An exception e to Statewide Planning Goal #3 would have to be approved if the Awbrey- Meadowview property is used for industrial uses. She said access from both railroads to the center of the Enid-Awbrey site would be difficult. Some intervening properties are not in industrial use and one railroad is elevated so that a proper turning radius might be difficult. Respondi ng to a question from Mr. Rutan) Ms. Bishow said 200 acres is appropriate for a large) heavy industrial site and Eugene does not have such a site. She said 200 acres is probably the largest parcel that can be marketed. Public discussion of an industrial park on the Awbrey-Meadowview site has occurred only in the last few months although the property owners have always wanted an industrial park on the site. Ms. Brody said the planning directors did not think expansion of the urban growth boundary to include the entire 700-acre Awbrey/Meadowview site could be justified. She said a proven demand for a 200-acre site might facilitate justification for expanding the boundary to include the rest of the site. Answering questions from Mr. Holmer) Ms. Bishow said the only direct impact of the proposed amendment on properties on Link Road is a reduction in the minimum lot size. However) most residents on Link Road own small properties. Ms. Brody added that the properties in a potential island will be examined during the Metro Plan Update. Replying to questions from Mayor Obie) Ms. Bishow said the Planning Commission recommended the proposed amendment involve about 200 acres. The property owners would prefer that the amendment not include a specific size for the e urban growth boundary expansion. The property owners own over 700 acres in the area. Ms. Brody said the staff originally recommended a minimum parcel size of 200 acres to the Planning Commission but later the commission recommended consideration of an industrial park with a 40-acre minimum parcel size. She said a parcel size smaller than 40 acres would be difficult to justify because then the site would not be unique. Beginning the councilors. discussion) Ms. Ehrman said the date for completing consideration of the amendment is an issue. She said she is interested in the railroad access) population projections) and the ultimate cost to the City. She said the entire property should be considered with other industrial properties if the council initiates the amendment. She said approval of the amendment might include conditions about the costs of extending City services to the property. Ms. Bascom said she is pleased that performance standards are included in the proposed amendment. She said there has been so much controversy about the property that perhaps it should be considered separately from the Metro Plan Update. Mr. Rutan said the property has been considered since 1966 and studied lito death." New information probably will not be provided. He said it is time for the council to make a decision now. The process is thorough and should begin. He sa i d the 200-acre pa rce 1 size recommended by the Planning Commission is e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 5 arbi trary. He said the property is unique and the size should not be limited in the proposal. He said the property owners did not suggest that the entire e 700 acres be included in the urban growth boundary. Ms. Schue said the council has received much new information recently about industrial land. The counci 1 learned the inventory is less usable than intended because of an excess of special light industrial land. Consequently, the community should review the industrial land inventory and adjust it during the Metro Plan Update. She said Springfield officials have indicated that opportunities for industrial development should be balanced between Eugene and Springfield and they requested that the proposed amendment be considered during the Metro Plan Update. Although the Awbrey-Meadowview site owners are aggressive, good at marketing, and care about their investment, that is no reason for considering the amendment before the Metro Plan Update when all the industrial inventory will be reviewed. Mr. Miller said the community's efforts to recruit certain kinds of industries have not been very successful. He said about 40 percent of the people in the community are underemployed and industries that will pay good wages should be recruited. Those kinds of industries require sites the community does not have. He said industries that will spoil the envi ronment should not be recruited. He said processes take time and consideration of the proposed amendment should proceed. Ms. Wooten said she discussed the change in needs for special light industrial sites and heavy industrial sites with Ms. Dietmeyer. Ms. Wooten said she looks forward to reconsidering the industrial lands within the urban growth boundary during the Metro Plan Update. She said there is a need for the kind e of jobs that heavy industries create. She said the Metro Plan Update begins July 1 and she would like to evaluate the Awbrey-Meadowview property with other industrial properties within the urban growth boundary before the community IIleapfrogs" to provide services to industrial sites. She said she supports the Metropolitan Partnership. She also supports a holistic approach in considering expansion of the urban growth boundary. Mr. Bennett said he agrees with Mr. Rutan. Mr. Bennett said the Awbrey- Meadowview site is unique and much information has been provided to councilors about it. He said the railroad access to the site is important. He said he is interested in how the Awbrey-Meadowview site is marketed and how it competes with other industrial sites in the community. He supports considering the amendment separate from the Metro Pl an Update. He said changes in the existing inventory and the marketability of sites are important but other sites do not have access to two railroads. He said an analysis of existing industrial sites should be separate from consideration of expanding the urban growth boundary to include the Awbrey/Meadowview site. He said he is not sure how much the urban growth boundary should be expanded but what can be justified to the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) should be considered. Mr. Holmer said he expected the Metro Plan to be updated two-and-a-half years after its acknowledgment. However, the Mid-Period Review was done then and the Alternative Industrial Growth Areas Study was undertaken. The study e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 6 resulted in the proposed Metro Plan amendment. He said alternatives should be reviewed thoroughly during the Metro Plan Update but evidence indicates that e the Awbrey/Meadowview amendment should be considered now. Answering a question from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Bishow said property owners do not pay a fee for a Metro Plan amendment if the council initiates it. The property owners probably will provide supporting evidence and they may have to pay for that. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to initiate at this time the public review of the Awbrey/Meadowview Metro Plan amendment proposal as prepared by the Eugene Planning Commission. Responding to a comment from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Brody said the Planning staff will prepare a Metro Plan amendment to expand the Urban Growth Boundary to include 200 acres in the Awbrey/Meadowview site as recommended by the Planning Commission if the amendment passes. Mr. Rutan moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to amend the motion to direct the Planning Commission not to limit the Metro Plan amendment to a 200-acre site but to consider all the pertinent issues and recommend an appropriate total acreage for the expansion. Ms. Bascom pointed out the proposed amendment is for "about" 200 acres. Ms. Brody said a specific size in the proposal is necessary to advertise the e Planning Commission's public hearing. She said it would be difficult for the public to understand the proposal if the amendment to the motion is approved. She said the proposal could be for 700 acres and the council could reduce it later. Mr. Holmer suggested the amendment be modified to indicate the public hearing will be for the Planning Commission's recommendation with the understanding the council may change the acreage. Mr. Rutan suggested the amendment be modified to indicate "an appropriate total acreage that could be all of the site." City Attorney Tim Sercombe said the proposal presented to the public for the Planning Commission1s public hearing should indicate a definite size for the proposed expansion of the urban growth boundary and the exception to Statewide Planning Goal #3. He said additional public hearings might be required if the council increases the size of the Awbrey-Meadowview site. He suggested the council delegate a decision about the size of the expansion to the applicant. Then the Planning Commission could consider whatever size is requested by the applicant. Mr. Rutan said he would like the Planning Commission and City Council to be able to objectively consider an appropriate size for the expansion. Ms. Brody responded that the council direction to the commission was to consider an e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 7 expansion of about 200 acres. She said the commission probably would not want to consider expanding the urban growth boundary for the entire lOO-acre site. e Rep lyi ng to a question from Mr. Holmer, Mr. Sercombe said the Planning Commission could change the size of the proposed expansion after the public hearing but the Springfield and Lane County planning commissions will also be considering the amendment. Ms. Bishow said the planning commissions could hold a joint hearing and the Eugene City Council could consider the commission's recommendation and change the size of the expansion before the other elected bodies consider the amendment. Mr. Rutan withdrew the amendment to the motion. Mr. Rutan moved to amend the motion to direct the Planning Commission to consider an approximate total acreage of 500 acres for the Awbrey/Meadowview industrial site. The amendmend died for lack of a second. Mayor Obi e said a 200-acre expansion of the urban growth boundary is substantial. He said the site could be increased in the future if an increase is warranted. He said the Planning Commission should develop a practical proposa 1 . He said the timing of consideration of the proposal is important. He said the community has more special light industrial sites than necessary, they do not have railroad access, and an industry is considering a location in Eugene now but the most appropriate site may be a swamp. He emphasized the need for conSidering the proposed amendment within six months. Therefore, he supports the motion. e Replying to a question from Mr. Rutan, Ms. Bi show and Ms. Brody said lIapproximately 200 acresll probably means 190 to 210 acres. The question was called. Roll call vote; the motion carried 5:3 with Councilors Holmer, Bascom, Rutan, Miller, and Bennett, voting aye and Councilors Schue, Wooten, and Ehrman voting nay. II. PUBLIC HEARING: CITY OF EUGENE FY88 ANNUAL BUDGET City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. He said the proposed budget includes all the recommendations of the Budget Committee and responses to special concerns of Ms. Bascom. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. Jim Piercey, 195 Sunshine Acres Drive, said he is president of the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Partnership. He thanked the councilors for their concern about the Partnership. He said the $15,000 decrease in the City's contribution to the Partnership will affect recruitment and marketing by the Partnership. He said he hoped the decrease can be made up from the contingency fund if the Partnership indicates the funds are needed during the year. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 8 Tom Hoyt, 460 Palomino Drive, said he represents the council on the Metropolitan Partnership Board of Directors. He sa i d he, a 1 so, hopes the e counci 1 wi 11 consider reinstating the $15,000. He said the Partnership is doing the best job the directors know how to do. He said the local economy is improving and this is not the time to decrease funds for the Partnership. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Ms. Wooten said she was on the Budget Subcommittee that reviewed the City's contribution to the Metropolitan Partnership. She said she and Mr. Bennett encouraged initiation of an audit and evaluation of the City's investment in the Partnership because of the subcommittee's discussion. In the future, the pub 1 i c wi 11 have tools to evaluate the Partnership. She said the City's investment in economic development is a long-term one but the "pay-off" is beginning. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Bennett, that the City Council direct the City Manager to restore $15,000 to the City's contribution to the Metropolitan Partnership from the contingency fund. Ms. Schue said the City has an elaborate budget process. She said the Budget Committee recommended the budget before the council and the budget contains cuts in several good programs. She said the Partnership is doing a good job but she will not vote to change the Budget Committee's recommendation. Ms. Bascom said Lane Counci 1 of Governments and the Eugene-Spri ngfi e 1 d e Vi s i tors and Convention Bureau representatives, a s we 11 as Partnership representatives, asked her to reinstate cuts in their funds. She said she does not favor changing the budget now but she hopes those representatives will discuss their needs with the councilors early in the budget process next year. Mr. Mill er said he was amazed by the cut in Partnership funds but he understood that Mr. Piercey and Mr. Hoyt want the council to consider their needs when supplemental budgets are considered. He said that will help the council learn the consequences of its actions. He said he supports the budget process. Mr. Bennett said the Partnership is making progress and he cannot support a decrease in its funds because a decrease sends the wrong message. He said the council can consider restoring the funds for the Visitors and Convention Bureau when a projected increase in Transient Room Taxes is realized. He wondered why the council would decrease Partnership funds when it might mean the loss of an industry that would provide 20 jobs. Mr. Holmer said he objected to the cut in funds for the Partnership but any restoration of funds should go through the budget process. He encouraged both Partnership and Visitors and Convention Bureau representatives to present proposals to the Budget Committee to restore their funds. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 22, 1987 Page 9 Roll call vote; the motion failed 3:5 with Councilors Wooten, Rutan, and Bennett voting aye and Councilors Ehrman, Holmer, e Schue, Bascom, and Miller voting nay.
