EUGENE CITY COUNCIL
e August 27, 1979
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjourned meeting from August 15, 1979, of the City Council of the City of
Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by Vice President Betty Smith, August 27,
1979, 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers, with the following Councilors present:
D.W. Hamel, Eric Haws, Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, Gretchen Miller, and Emily
Schue. Mayor Gus Keller and Councilor Jack Delay were absent.

I. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Concurrent Annexation/Rezoning
1. Property located east of Sweetbriar Lane south of 43rd Avenue from
County RA Suburban Residential District to City R-l Single-Family
Residential District (John Steinmuller) (AZ 79-6)
Manager explained this concurrent annexation and rezoning appli-
cation is being requested by John Steinmuller. The property is
located east of Sweetbriar Lane and south of 43rd Avenue. The
Planning Commission recommended its approval by a unanimous vote
e on July 3, 1979.
Mr. Saul explained that the property involved is a small parcel
involving 2.3 acres. The annexation request was reviewed with
regard to three City standards; whether it was in the urban
service boundary, whether City services were available, and
whether it resulted in logical boundaries. The annexation request
was also reviewed under the standards of the Administrative Rule,
adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission, which
deals with the question of the need for additional land within the
city. It was also reviewed under applicable Statewide Goals and
Guidelines. The Planning Commission determined the application
was consistent with all of these standards. At the Planning
Commission hearing, one member of the public appeared and testified.
Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Niven, who own properties south of the annexation,
support the annexation and simply wanted the record to show that
when development plans are submitted, consideration should be
given to possible access routes through this annexed property to
properties to the south.
No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by the
Council ors.

Res. No. 3226--A resolution forwarding recommendation to the Boundary
Commission for annexation of property located east of
Sweetbriar Lane and south of 43rd Avenue
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that findings supporting
the annexation as set forth in the Planning Commission staff notes
and minutes of July 3, 1979, be adopted by reference thereto and
that the resolution be adopted. Motion carried unanimously.
CB 1977--Authorizing rezoning from County RA Suburban Residential District
to City R-1 Single-Family Residential District for property
located east of Sweetbriar Lane and south of 43rd Avenue
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that findings supporting
the rezoning as set forth in the Planning Commission staff notes
and minutes of July 3, 1979, be adopted by reference thereto, that
the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with
the unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be
considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously, and the bill
was read the second time by council bill number only.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be approved
and given final passage. Roll call vote. All Councilors present
voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18479.
B. Rezoning e
1. Property located south of Royal Avenue east of Terry Street from
AG Agricultural District to R-1 Single-Family Residential District
(Averill Bennett) (Z 79-9)
Manager presented the rezoning request and introduced Mr. Saul to
give additional information.
Mr. Saul explained that this request involved 13.8 acres of land
south of Royal Avenue and east of Terry Street. It is one of the
few remaining parcels that carries an AG designation within the
city. Both the 1990 Plan and the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan
recognize low-density residential development as appropriate for
this area. The Bethel-Danebo Plan also recognizes the AG desig-
nation as a temporary designation until it becomes R-1. The
findings endorsed by the Planning Commission support this proposed
zone change. Mr. Saul referred Council to a letter from Mr. Peter
Fels opposing the zone change.

; To Ms. Miller's question, what does "vacant" mean, Mr. Saul
replied that that term is used when the land was not occupied by
e structures.
No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared
by Cou nc il ors.
Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record.
Public hearing was held with no testimony presented.
CB 1978--Authorizing rezoning from AG Agricultural District to R-l Single-
Family Residential District for property located south of Royal
Avenue, east of Terry Street
Ms. Miller said that although the parcel is vacant, that does not
mean that it is not currently being used. She felt certai n
assumptions need to be questioned. Land can be used in a variety
of ways. She was concerned that there be a provision for main-
taining the waterways and creation of buffer zones. She was
concerned about the development of low-density in this area while,
at the same time, encouraging high-density within the urban core.
She felt that the City was perpetuating the kind of development
that is now there by simply rezoning the land to R-l. Her recom-
mendation would be to add the PO suffix to R-l.
Mr. Saul replied that, while a PO suffix is an option for the
e City Council, it would not protect the land from being developed
as a single-family subdivision. Answering the objections in Mr.
Fels~ letter, Mr. Saul explained that subdivisions could, and
often do, take into consideration the development of open space,
bicycle paths, and open waterways. He explained that the PO
suffix was not a guarantee of higher density within the area.
Noting that Mr. Fels objected to the development to the south,
Mr. Saul said that his opinion was a matter of personal judgment
regarding that development. Mr. Saul said that the letter implied
that the City should be investing in higher-cost housing in that
area. This conflicts with other City goals, Mr. Saul said. The
need for a buffer or open space between this area and the property
on the west side of Terry could be accomplished with the R-1
designation.
Mr. Obie was concerned about applying zoning on a single-lot
basis. He felt the Council should look at the whole area, possibly
when it considered the 1990 Plan Update. He said he would support
any policy-making move that would look at the density problem in
depth for the whole area, but would not be in favor of applying
the PO suffix to just one piece of property.
e
8/27/79-3

Ms. Miller noted that there were some major questions which need
to be asked and are applicable to this zone change, and would be '
applicable to other zone changes that the Council will be consi-
dering over the next year. These issues will not come up as part e
of the 1990 Plan Update, she said. She appreciated Mr. Saul's
comments about the PO suffix, but felt the PO suffix does give the
public more opportunity for input to the development process. It
is important and does result in an improved development, she said.
Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to change rezoning
designation from R-1 to R-1/PD.
Ms. Smith said she appreciated Ms. Miller's concerns, especially
since they would not be addressed by the 1990 Plan Update. She
agreed with Mr. Obie that there should be some concern on the part
of the Council to pursue this issue through some channel.
Mr. Saul said that if this amendment passed, the rezoning request
would be referred back to another joint meeting between the
Planning Commission and the City Council. At that time staff
would oppose the attachment of the PO suffix to the R-1 designation.
The amendment to add a PO suffix failed, 4:3, Ms. Miller, Mr.
Lieuallen, and Ms. Schue voting aye.
Main motion authorizing rezoning to R-1 carried 6:1, Ms. Miller
voting nay.
2. Property located on south side of West 10th Avenue between Chambers
and Grant streets from RA Suburban Residential District to C-2/SR e
Community Commercial District with Site Review Procedures (Dirlam and
Gott) (Z 79-10)
Manager presented the request and introduced Mr. Saul to give
additional information.
Mr. Saul explained that this area represented 10,000 square feet.
Historically, is has been used as a graveled parking area and as a
loading zone for the businesses which front on West 11th. The
businesses are under the same ownership as this property. Property
on the south side of West 11th is zoned C-2, as is the property
located to the west and east of this property. The property
owners want rezoning for the parking area from RA to C-2.
No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by
Councilors.
Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record.
8/27/79-4 e
471
Public hearing was opened.
e Those speaking in favor of the appeal were as follows.
Don Gott, 1515 El Kay, explained he was present to answer any
questions. He noted that the request had gone through the Planning
Commission with the unanimous vote in support of the rezoning. He
explained that RA zoning is inappropriate because the lot is too
small for development. It can only be used for a loading zone.
The reason he is applying for this zone change is the need to pave
the area to provide off-street parking for the clinics.
Those speaking against the rezo~ing where as follows.
Hank Murrow, 1215 Arthur, representing the Planning Committee of
Farwest Neighbors, said the vote of the Planning Commission was
not unanimous as originally stated but rather 4:2. Referring to
his letter given earlier to the Council, he explained that Grant
Street Park had just received CD funding amounting to $34,000.
The park is within view of the property being considered. The
zoning to C-2 would open the entire block, which fronts on West
11th, to commercial development. He feared that the adjoining
property will then be developed also. He asked the Council to
approve a uniform RP zoning on West 10th which would provide a
buffer zone for West 11th.
John Wesley, 1625 Garfield Place, said the area is a good area for
young families. If the property goes to C-2, it will mean more
- cars and noise across the street from the park. He urged a denial
of C-2 and a more creative approach to solving the parking problem.
Mr. Saul explained that over the last two to three years, the
Planning Commission has considered four or five zone-change
requests aSking for a zone change from commercial to residential
in this area and has denied them. The Planning Commission had
approved this parcel because of the details of this specific case.
The reasons the Planning Commission had approved the C-2 desig-
nation rather than RP were: I} the RP designation only permits
private parking and could not be used by commercial establishments
that front on West 11th; 2} RP zone district allows a 30-percent
coverage limitation; therefore, only 30 percent of the area could
be used for a parking area; 3) historically, the property has been
used for truck loading and the RP zoning would not allow loading;
and 4} the zone change made sense since the entire strip along
10th Avenue is that zone. Mr. Saul explained that the Planning
Commission was sensitive to the problems that had been stated.
They, therefore, asked for site review procedures with factors to
be addressed at the time of development.
Mr. Gott said he did not understand the reference to 30 percent as
half of the lot is needed for trucks loading at this time.

CB 1979--Authorizing rezoning from RA Suburban Residential District
to C-2/SR Community Commercial District with Site Review
Procedures for property located on the south side of West e
10th Avenue between Chambers and Grant streets.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr.Hamel, that the findings supporting
the rezonings set forth in the Planning Commission notes and
minutes of July 3, 1979, be adopted by reference thereto; that the
bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with
unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered
at this time.
Councilors Miller and Lieuallen did not feel that applying the C-2
zoning was the answer to the problem. They asked about the ramifi-
cations of various zone options such as C-1 or RP or no change and
continuing with RA. Mr. Saul indicated that there was no perfect
solution. He outlined the drawbacks to the alternative zonings
suggested by Councilors Miller and Lieuallen. .
Ms. Miller objected to approving C-2 zoning for a particular owner
for a particular need when in future years, that zoning could
allow uses that were not compatible with the neighborhood and the
park development. She did not want to deprive the stores of their
loading access, but she could see no reason why the entire block
should be opened up to full-scale C-2 commercial development. She
moved, therefore, to change RA to RP. The motion did not receive
a second.
Main motion carried 6:1, Ms. Miller voting no. -
3. Property located south of Clark between Jackson and Van Buren streets
from M-2 Light Industrial District to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial
District and a change of sign district from Highway-Oriented
District to Outlying Commercial District (Meili) (Z 79-11)
Manager introduced the request and asked Mr. Saul to give additional
information.
Mr. Saul said the area represents 26,000 square feet with no
present structural development. The Whiteaker Refinement Plan
defines the area as suitable for mixed use and this encourages
both residential and neighborhood commercial development. The C-1
designation allows neighborhood development along with residential
development, and so it is in conformity with this Plan. The
property to the south was rezoned, a year ago, to C-1. It is
somewhat exceptional to have a rezoning request involving the zone
change from a more intensive to a less intensive zone designation.
The sign change request is from Highway-Oriented to Outlying
Commercial District. It was felt that this was appropriate by the
Planning Commission.

Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the findings supporting

minutes of July 3, 1979, be adopted by reference thereto; that the
bill be read the second time by council bill number only with
unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered

voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18480.
C. New liquor license Outlet: Whitey's Cafeteria (retail/malt);
2079 River Road (Emery and Leona Whitus)
e Manager introduced the request for a malt beverage retail outlet
at the end of the Riviera Shopping Center. The building is 53
feet by 25 feet. The owner's history and premises have been
inspected by staff and all is in order. The recommendation is for
approval.
Public hearing was opened.
David Whitus, 695 Kildare, said the clientele has demonstrated a need
for this outlet and it will allow this establishment to diversify
and go into an evening dinner business.
Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to forward to the OlCC,
with recommendation for approval, subject to conditions, if any.
Motion carried unanimously.

Boulevard for a publiC park site and declaring an emergency
e Mr. Lieuallen indicated that there were going to be a lot of upset
people if they were not allowed to speak. Although he had previously
heard the arguments, he would suggest that the Council hear those
people requesting to speak.
Ms. Smith said there were six people who had requested to be heard.
It would require a majority of the Council to open a public hearing.
All Councilors, other than Mr. Lieuallen, felt they had heard the
arguments during previous public hearings. Since this was for second
reading of the item and the council bill had passed at the previous
meeting, they felt it would serve no useful purpose to open a public
hearing again.
Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the bill be approved
and given final passage. Roll call vote. Four Councilors voting
aye, Councilors Obie, Smith, and Hamel voting nay, the bill was

voting aye) the bill was declared passed and numbered 18489.
III. PROGRAM AGENT ADVISORY COUNCIL FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FY 1979-80
Manager introduced Mr. Long to explain the recommendations of the Program
Agent Advisory Council. He said Councilor Smith was chairman of the
Council and Councilors Obie and Lieuallen participated in the process.
Mr. Long indicated that the Advisory Council was attempting to deal with a
50-percent reduction in funding. The process included reviewing reduction
options, developing evaluation procedures, and evaluating each position
and agency which were currently under contract with the City of Eugene.
The recommendations include cutting a number of jobs that are dead-end and
have very little possibility of permanent unsubsidized employment. Thirty-
seven of the positions eliminated would be accomplished by attrition. Mr. e
Long read the six recommendations from the distributed memorandum of
August 22, 1979, which the Advisory Council was asking to be adopted.
They are as follows:
1. Current positions scoring 9 or more points be extended for funding
in FY 179-180, and the City Manager be authorized to sign contracts
to extend these positions.
2. Positions evaluated and scoring 8 or fewer pOinted be terminated
effective September 30, 1979.
3. CETA participants impacted by funding terminations be given special
placement services, preference in CETA openings if qualified, and
staff be authorized to approve employment extensions for up to
60 days after September 30, 1979, if the participants are fully
cooperating in seeking alternative employment.
4. Positions which will vacate September 30) 1979, due to participant
ineligibility, be terminated (participants who have completed the
maximum 78-week eligibility period permitted by regulation). This
policy combines attrition with direct funding terminations in order to
reduce the program enrollments to FY 179-180 allocation levels.
e
8/27/79--10
477
,
5. Future CETA PSE positions established through discretionary grants./
e agency job reclassifications, or other means must have medium to./
high labor market demand to ensure maximum employability to P~~~
participants. /
/
6. Adopt the attached appeals procedure for agencies denied funding as a
result of the program evaluation.
Ms. Miller, noting that a greater percentage of the funds was going
to government agencies and education and employment, asked how this
came about. Mr. Long felt that it was a natural capacity of public
agencies to create more jobs with an unsubsidized future potential. He
felt there wasn't this capability in a small, non-profit agency. Ms.
Smith said that she felt the Commission had put a strong emphasis on labor
market demand that had accounted for the non-profit percentage being
lower. Mr. Long said the non-profit percentage is still above the Depart-
ment of Labor requirements for non-profit agencies (30 percent of the
project fund).
Ms. Miller asked how realistic it was to have an appeals procedure,
since the funds are completely allocated at this time. Even if an agency
won an appeals case, there would not be funding for the position. Mr.
Long replied that there would be unexpended funds returned from agencies
due to vacancies. The Advisory Council would then approve a reallocation.
Ms. Miller asked if the best one could do, through the appeals procedure,
would be to work up to the head of the list for unobligated money. Mr.
Long replied that the method of handling such open positions would be a
e decision of the Advisory Council and the City Council. Ms. Miller asked
since labor market demand is the basis for choice, it should be possible
to know the type of job that did well in that aspect and what job did not
fare well. Mr. Long referred to Attachment B of the memorandum, saying
that a rating of 4, 5, 6, or 7 was high. He indicated that other material
was available.
Mr. Lieuallen felt the statistics that they received from the State
Employment Office concerning labor market demand were not that scientific
and could be interpreted in many ways. He felt it had been difficult to
get information on the evaluation process and to have public participation
in the process. Recognizing the lack of information and negative feelings
in the community, he urged the staff to make information regarding the
process more readily available so that the situation could be improved in ,
the future.
Mr. Obie felt the negative feelings were minimal. He attended most
meetings and worked with the PAAC Committee. When funding is cut,
there will be negative feelings, he said. The standards used were objec-
tive and consistently applied. He felt that the process had been fair
with regard to those involved. He urged adoption.
Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the Program Agent
Advisory Council funding recommendations for FY 1979-80.
-
8/27/79--11
'f78
Council agreed to hear public comment on the general evaluation process
employed by the PAAC Committee.
Jim Williams, 738 Sunnyside Drive, explained that he had just attended a e
conference, "Putting the Arts To Work" in San Francisco on August 24.
He also referred to the August 24 issue of the Willamette Valley Observer,
which quoted Randy Miller as saying, "There is no way you can justify
funding a performer where there is no labor market demand." As a member
of the Civic Center Commission, the Arts Alliance, and a board member
of. the Eugene Community Foundation, he was concerned about that statement.
With the City putting $18.5 million in construction of a Performing Arts
Center, as well as $500,000 in operating costs, it is important that the
theater be filled with trained performers. Locally-trained performers
will keep money in the Eugene economy. This is an industry that must
develop here and it must develop quickly in order to support the Performing
Arts Center. There is a flaw in basing decisions on the labor market
demand as it appears today. Most planners look two to three years down
the road. To make the arts a third priority is a mistake for this community.
David Lunney, Oregon Repertory Theater Producing Director, said there is
a need in Eugene for people to work and train with the art setting, but he
cannot ask them to work without pay. In three years, he anticipates a
high demand for performers, backstage workers, and other people who are
trained in subscription work. The arts will need people who know how to
do the support activities. If there are not those people in Eugene, they
will either have to look to outside sources or to have many dark nights in
the Performing Arts Center complex. He asked them to consider Eugene's e
future needs in their deliberation.
Alex Stowlowitz, 1193 Van Buren, asked that the next time the process
include a timetable for informing those agencies concerned about the
process. This was not done. As an example, he cited receiving an August
10 letter, which was received by the agencies on August 13 or 14. The
letter stated that on August 14, each agency had two minutes to speak on
why their agency should receive funding. The letter stated three criteria
that would be used by the Council: labor market demand, community need
for service, and agency administrative ability. There was no explanation
about these criteria so the agencies had not received adequate time or
knowledge in which to respond.
Mr. Long responded that Randy Miller had made a commitment that, in
dealing with the grant criteria, the development would be well in advance
so they can work with new CETA regulations and programs. Mr. Long felt
that Mr. Miller's quote was incomplete, since there are a number of jobs
in the arts that do have very good labor market demand and are recommended
for funding by the Council. He said the Council, when specifically
looking at performers and stage hands, concluded there was not sufficient
1 abor dema nd. The arts have only dropped from a 14-percent level to a
12-percent level of funding, so there is no serious cut in this area, he
said.
e
8/27/79--12
'i1~
.
Ms. Miller indicated that she felt a lot of the funding was based on
the narrow definition of labor market demand. This was subjective. She
e called for coordination with other City commissions and committees. Ms.
Smith responded that she felt better about tpis year's process than she
had in the two previous years. She and Mr. Miller had appeared before the
Economic Development Committee last week. There is overlapping membership
between the Private Industry Council and the Economic Development Committee.
The Economic Development Committee has agreed to consult with PAAC. They
realize that the CETA program is economic development.
The motion to approve and adopt the recommendation for funding
carried unanimously.
IV. ROUTINE ITEMS
A. Election Proclamation
Ms. Smith, Mayor pro tern, read the election proclamation which
indicated Measure 51 had been approved by the voters.
B. Hearings Report: Sidepocket Tavern license Renewal
Manager indicated this was an appeal of an administrative decision
that the license be denied. The owners in question have sold and this
moots the matter.
Mr. lieuallen moved, seconded by Mr. Haws, to approve and accept
e the report of the Hearings Panel.
To Mr. lieuallen's question of what happen to this report now,
, Manager said that it would be sent to the OlCC. It might have impact
only if the present owners were in trouble. Mr. lieuallen said that
he was not interested in making it difficult for the new owners who
presently have their own liquor license.
Mr. long indicated that a lot of law enforcement had gone into this
report and its submission would underscore the City's effort to clean
up this problem area. Mr. Haws concurred that the owners have changed
but not the clientele, and a lot of staff time had gone into this
report.
Mr. lieuallen moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to approve and hold
