Regular Meeting
Council Chamber--City Hall
April 24, 2000

COUNCILORS PRESENT: Bobby Lee, Betty Taylor, Nancy Nathanson, Scott Meisner, David
Kelly, Gary Pap~.
COUNCILORS ABSENT: Pat Farr, Gary Rayor.
1.PUBLIC FORUM
Mayor Torrey called the meeting to order and reviewed the rules for the public forum.
John Brown, 1260 Charnelton Street, identified himself as co-chair of the political action
committee "For Safety's Sake," which was formed to support the proposed police and fire ballot
measure. He asked the council, in the case the measure passed, to consider asking the voters
to form a committee to observe and oversee the process from design and site location to bid and
construction to further establish a level of credibility with the taxpayers regarding the measure.
He believed that generally, people understood the need, but were concerned that their money
was spent appropriately. Mr. Brown suggested that the group could report to the council and
mayor. He requested a response.
Michael Anthony Sakell, 925 Chambers Street, said Section 48 of the City Charter regarding the
presumption of validity of City actions was a violation of the Fifth Amendment rights of all citizens.
He said he had attempted to bring the issue to the council's attention without success. Mr.
Sakell stated that he was arrested at City Hall the previous Thursday for protesting the charter
section in front of his family. Mr. Sakell quoted Gandhi to the council and said that Gandhi's
statement reflected his code of ethics. He called on the council to repeal the section in question.
Max Ansola, 1816 Pacific Highway East, Tacoma, Washington, spoke of a seasonal stream on
commercially zoned property he owned in Eugene and stated that it must be filled. He said that
his property contained no wetlands. Mr. Ansola did not believe that commercial land could be
developed and have a stream running through it.
Vicki Perpinan, 1012 Centennial Boulevard, spoke in support of the Consolidated Housing Plan
and its provision of rehabilitation to prevent homelessness.
Councilor Kelly thanked Mr. Brown for his suggestion, saying it was a fine idea. He said that
more oversight would provide more perspective, and he did not think the proposed process was
a burden.

Regular Meeting
Regarding Mr. Ansola's comments, Councilor Kelly noted that there was dumping occurring on
the property and suggested the installation of a chain link fence to prevent dumping. Mr. Ansola
said he would do so.
Councilor Pap~ asked Mr. Brown to expand on his suggestion. Mr. Brown envisioned a
committee with members such as an architect to oversee the expenditure of funds in addition to
the regular public process. City Manager Jim Johnson welcomed Mr. Brown's suggestion, and
offered staff assistance. Mayor Torrey indicated that the council would follow-up on the
suggestion.
Councilors Lee and Meisner also supported Mr. Brown's proposal. Councilor Meisner hoped the
committee was not voiceless, but would be able to provide input to staff throughout the design
and construction process.
Councilor Nathanson also supported Mr. Brown's suggestion. However, she wanted to be clear
that if there was to be a sanctioned group, it should be a formal process. Otherwise, if it was
merely a formality to know an outside body existed, the council would receive notice. She asked
the City Manager to consider whether the body would be an appointed or acknowledged body.
Councilor Taylor preferred to wait until after the election to discuss Mr. Brown's suggestion more
fully.
2.CONSENT CALENDAR
A. Approval of Financial Management Goals and Policies
B. Approval of Amendments to the 1995 Consolidated Plan
C. Approval of Special One-Night Camping Request for Veterans
D. Approval of Resolution 4628 Supporting Application for State of Oregon Parks
and Recreation Department Local Government Grant Matching Funds for Parks
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to approve the Consent
Calendar.
At the request of Councilor Taylor, item B was pulled from the Consent Calendar.
Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0.
Responding to a question from Councilor Taylor, Mr. Weinman said that the number of units in
the proposed St. Vincent dePaul Iow-income housing project was reduced because of the limited
tax credits available and because of the Fire Code and the related expense of building a higher
building. St. Vincent dePaul had concluded the smaller project made more sense and was easier
to fund. He said that the project was still a mixed-use housing project.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to approve item B on
the Consent Calendar. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0.

3.PUBLIC HEARING: AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE PEDESTRIAN MALL; AMENDING
SECTIONS 4.680, 4.870, 4.871, 4.872, 4.874, AND 4.990 OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971
Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, he closed the public
hearing.
Councilor Lee thanked Councilor Kelly for his work on the issue.
Councilor Kelly thanked the staff for its work, and said the ordinance changes were needed to be
consistent with the reality of the current mall configuration. He noted his support of a contiguous
exclusion area but thought it was going to be addressed by the addition of a sentence that the
exclusion area would be the newly defined mall plus the blocks of Broadway and Willamette
Street and Broadway and Olive Street. The draft ordinance instead added four full blocks of
Willamette and Olive streets to the exclusion area. He said that if the exclusion ordinance was to
apply to the mall, it should not apply to streets no longer part of the mall. Mr. Hibschman said
that staff consulted with the Police Department and the police supported the inclusion of the
streets due to issues regarding activity both on the sidewalks and in the right-of-way that related
to the ordinance's effectiveness. Councilor Kelly requested additional information from the Police
Department about its rationale and a revised ordinance that excluded the intersections in
question.
Councilor Taylor noted her support for eliminating all mall ordinances that included an exclusion
provision and hoped that the council had the opportunity to address her concern when it took
action on the ordinance in question.
4. ACTION: RESOLUTION 4629 APPROVING THE EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD FIVE-YEAR
CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR
SUBMISSION TO THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT (HUD)
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to approve Resolution
4629, approving the Eugene-Springfield Five-Year Consolidated Plan for
Housing and Community Development for submission to the federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Referring to the Housing Market Analysis, Councilor Nathanson noted that household sizes were
predicted to continue to decline while the population increased. Because of that, the community
would need proportionately more units than it would have 20 years ago. Households were
predicted to be smaller, older, and less affluent. She said that a few years ago she had spoken
to a committee of the Homebuilders Association of Lane County, and had predicted that
rehabilitation and infill construction would be an important part of the construction industry's work.
She asked if staff had shared that element of the analysis with the Homebuilders Association.
Councilor Nathanson asked how the community compared to other cities in terms of the
percentage of rental housing. Robin Johnson, City of Springfield, said that the percentage was
typical of university communities, but not typical of other Oregon communities.

Regular Meeting
Referring to the Housing Needs Analysis and its identification of the need for housing for youth,
Councilor Nathanson asked what youth population was in question. She also questioned the
implications of the University's plans for increased enrollment for the community, and whether the
University worked actively with the City on housing issues.
John Van Landingham, chair of the Housing Policy Board, responded to Councilor Nathanson's
first question by saying the board had not discussed the analysis with the Homebuilders
Association, but the analysis was taken from the Residential Lands Study, which was developed
with the participation of the association. He said that the homebuilders were aware of the
conclusion.
Regarding Councilor Nathanson's question about the University's proposed increase in
enrollment and its work with the City, Mr. Van Landingham said the board had not recently
discussed housing with the University. He clarified that the reference to youth was to youth who
were not students, but rather to homeless youth.
Councilor Kelly commended Eugene and Springfield staff for the draft plan, and praised the depth
and breadth of the public involvement process. He urged the council to support the plan to assist
those who were not benefitting from the strong economy. He also acknowledged the public
forum comments of Ms. Perpinan and said he agreed that there was more to the issue than
bricks and mortar.
Councilor Meisner suggested a disconnect between the plan and the conversion of existing
housing stock in the core to commercial and retail uses. He pointed out that the five-year goals
called for expanding the conservation and improvement of affordable owner and rental housing.
Housing stock in the core was some of the most affordable in the community, and nothing was
being done to prevent its conversion or encourage its rehabilitation. He said that the result of the
disconnect was the construction of Iow-income housing at a higher cost.
Councilor Lee thanked Councilor Kelly and staff for their work on the issue. He asked if
adjustments would be made to the plan after the census results were in. Staff indicated that was
the case. Councilor Lee spoke of the importance of the census to federal funding of local
priorities.
Councilor Pap8 said that there were banks interested in funding Iow-income housing
development and asked about the 203(b) program. Mr. Van Landingham described the program,
which was to help support first-time home ownership. The program also included a grant of
$1,500 for down payment assistance. There are quite a few things in the document about
promoting home ownership. There is nothing specific to banks and their role. He added that the
plan relies on both for successful implementation. Developments require mortgages and private
sector construction. Councilor Pap8 said that banks were looking for ways to be involved, and
encouraged the board to enter into partnerships with those financial institutions interested in Iow-
income housing.
Mr. Torrey said that he had discussed ways to meet the transitional needs of youth with staff from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), who agreed it was an important need
but raised a question about liability. He asked the Housing Policy Board to identify a program he
could carry back to HUD to request financing for on a demonstration project basis.
Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0.

5.ACTION: APPROVAL OF 2000-01 FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR FEDERAL COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS
(HOME) PROGRAM
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to approve the One-
Year Action Plans for use of Federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Funds. Roll
call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 6:0.
6.ACTION: AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING OPEN WATERWAYS, AND ADDING SECTIONS
6.650, 6.655, 6.660, 6.665, AND 6.670 TO THE EUGENE CODE, 1971
Councilor Taylor expressed interest in amending the ordinance to delete the exemptions section.
She also asked if the council would consider proposed amendments that evening, and if the
council would be able to address the issue of buffers. In response to Councilor Taylor's
questions, Mr. Lyle said that staff suggested the council go through each amendment separately
for potential inclusion in the base ordinance, and further recommended that the council direct
staff to develop a scoping work plan and budget for the establishment of interim buffers for
further council review.
Mayor Torrey referred to correspondence received from representatives of property owned by the
Oregon Department of Transportation and SDI/Madsten, and asked if staff recommended
passage of an amendment related to that property. Mr. Lyle said yes; because of the location of
the property in the West Eugene Wetlands Plan area, staff was recommending that plan take
precedence because the property was designated as a developable site in the plan. The
property and other similar properties in the WEWP boundaries sould be exempted from the
ordinance.
Mayor Torrey asked legal counsel to confirm a preexisting application was protected from the
proposed regulations by State statute. Mr. Klein responded that there was a State statute related
to land use applications, and it required that any land use criteria in effect at the time an
application was filed would govern that land use application. Because the ordinance before the
council concerned Chapter 6 and addressed the prohibition or piping of a waterway and was an
environment regulation with police powers, the State statute would not in every case preempt the
ordinance. He suggested that the council could include a reference to the State statute in the
ordinance to make it clear that in some cases, the prohibition does not apply where State
statutes allow someone to pipe and fill a waterway.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, that the bill, with the
unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill
number only, and that enactment be considered at this time.
Councilor Pap8 termed the ordinance a creeping regulation effecting private property rights. He
believed that the council should always "tread lightly" when it came to private property rights. He
asked Mr. Klein to comment on the case Sitcom v. the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and its
MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 24, 2000 Page 5
Regular Meeting
applicability to the ordinance before the council. Mr. Klein responded that the case, as well as
other Fifth Amendment takings cases, provided for compensation of a property owner when a
government regulated property in a way that deprived the owner of some economic use of that
property. He said that the current test was whether a regulation prohibited all economically
viable use of a property. The ordinance before the council could potentially deprive a property
owner of some ability to use a portion of their property but not all the property. Mr. Klein referred
the council to page 4 of the ordinance, Subsection 3, which addressed exemptions to the
ordinance. Where the regulations would prohibit the use of the entire site or a third of the site,
the City Manager may grant a site-specific exemption. Mr. Klein suggested that there may be
cases where the property may be purchased by the City if the ordinance resulted in a property
that was not economically viable or be exempted. He was not aware of a property where the
ordinance would prohibit all economic use of the property, but if such a case existed it would
meet the exemption.
Councilor Pap8 asked how long the exemption process would take. Mr. Lyle said that staff would
meet with a property owner to discuss the development viability of a property, and he did not
think such a basic assessment would take long. Councilor Pap8 asked if there would be a
separate application process rather than approval of the development in order to get the
exemption. Mr. Lyle did not think there was a need for a separate application, noting that City
used a property review checklist that outlined the needed submittals.
Mr. Klein observed that the exemption provision was nearly identical to a clause in the West
Eugene Wetlands Plan, which had been in place for more than five years; during that time, he
was unaware of any instance in which the provision had been applied.
Councilor Pap8 referred to testimony from Mike Farthing and asked how staff would differentiate
where the ordinance would apply or Oregon Revised Statutes. Mr. Klein said that the City
Attorney would be able to consult with staff and determine if the ordinance did or did not apply in
a specific situation. The State statute referred to by Mr. Farthing dealt with land use criteria, and
the ordinance did not include land use criteria but rather police power regulation, was part of
Chapter 6, and its influence was beyond the land use arena. He believed that there would be
many instances in which the State statute would not apply. Mr. Klein reiterated his
recommendation that a reference to the State statute be included in the ordinance to guide staff.
At the request of Mayor Torrey, the council considered a series of amendments prepared by staff
in response to previously expressed council comments and concerns.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 1, Sunset Provision.
Councilor Kelly did not support the amendment. He feared that the City could hit the sunset date,
be caught unaware, and the natural environment would be threatened. He pointed out that the
council could modify the ordinance or overturn it if it chose. He emphasized the interim nature of
the ordinance and he noted the City's ongoing work on State Goal 5 and the Endangered Species
Act listing of the spring chinook.
Mr. Klein said that the council needed to agree on a specific sunset date if one is to be
established.
MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 24, 2000 Page 6
Regular Meeting
Councilor Pap~ suggested June 30, 2001, as the sunset date. Mr. Johnson indicated staff would
be more comfortable with the year 2002. Councilor Pap~ acknowledged Mr. Johnson's statement
but was not comfortable with that date.
Councilor Lee indicated opposition to the sunset date proposed by Councilor Pap~. Councilor
Pap~ said he could not support an interim ordinance without a date certain for its expiration. He
said that the sunset date would "keep the heat on" the City to complete work on the permanent
ordinance.
Councilor Nathanson understood Councilor Kelly's concerns but said she came to a different
conclusion. The ordinance was intended to be interim and would be replaced by something
permanent, and she believed that intent should be stated. She asked staff what would happen if
the permanent ordinance was not completed by the sunset date. Mr. Johnson said that staff
would request the council extend the interim ordinance, which would require a public hearing.
Mr. Klein pointed out that would provide an opportunity for legal challenge, and urged the council
to consider the advice of staff about what was realistic as regards a sunset date as the ordinance
could always be repealed earlier.
Councilor Pap~ moved to amend the amended motion to establish a sunset
date for the ordinance of December 31, 2001. The motion died for lack of a
second.
Councilor Nathanson moved, seconded by Councilor Pap~, to amend the
amended motion to institute a sunset date of June 30, 2002. Roll call vote;
the motion failed, 4:2; councilors Pap~ and Nathanson voting yes.
Roll call vote; the amendment to the motion failed, 5:1; Councilor Pap~ voting
no.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 2, Clarify Definition of Open Waterway.
Councilor Pap~ said that Councilor Gary Rayor was concerned the definition would not prevent a
waterway from being covered with a porous covering, but that appeared to be addressed by the
prohibition of covering waterways. Mr. Lyle concurred.
Councilor Pap~ supported the amendment as it clarified the definition.
Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 3, Prior Approvals and Permits.
Mr. Klein reiterated his recommendation for the inclusion of the term "or as required by State
law," and suggested it be added following the semi-colon at the end of Section 6.660(1)(a).
Councilor Taylor asked if the phrase was essential. Mr. Klein said it was not essential but flagged
for the Hearings Official and Planning Commission that State law must be addressed, and it also
addressed the testimony presented to the council.
MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 24, 2000 Page 7
Regular Meeting
Councilors Lee and Taylor accepted Mr. Klein's suggestion as a friendly amendment to the
amendment.
Responding to a question from Councilor Pap~, Mr. Klein responded that the friendly amendment
provided a date certain for those applications which were subject to the State statute and had
essentially the same effect as deleted subsection (2). Councilor Pap~ questioned the fairness of
eliminating subsection 6.660(2) for those who had already submitted applications. He said he
could not support the amendment.
Councilor Kelly supported the amendment. He said that if a property existed in a separate
parallel universe and had no impact on other properties he would agree with Councilor Pap~, but
the impact of the fill affected other properties and the common good. He hoped that at the time
of application, staff would work with the developer to determine how any waterway on a property
could be accommodated on the property.
Councilor Nathanson asked staff to explain why it recommended deleting subsection 2. Mr. Lyle
said that staff did not think there were many applications in process that would be affected. He
thought it was a small number. He added that he did not think the proposal should be a surprise
to anyone in the development community given the several months of discussion that had taken
place about the topic. Mr. Lyle noted that staff already works with property owners to incorporate
waterways into developments.
Councilor Pap~ agreed with Councilor Kelly that a development proposal could possibly impact
an adjoining property and for the common good something different should be done, but he felt
that property owner should be compensated for the common good. The property owner should
not be penalized by the ordinance.
Roll call vote; the amendment to the motion carried, 5:1; councilor Pap~
voting no.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 4, Mitigation Requirement.
Councilor Kelly noted his support for the amendment and asked staff why it did not recommend
adoption of the amendment initially. Mr. Lyle said it was an oversight, and staff recommended
the amendment.
Roll call vote; the motion to amend carried unanimously, 6:0.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 5, Mandatory Enforcement.
Councilor Nathanson said that she was satisfied with the original language of the ordinance.
Councilor Kelly asked if the legislative intent was sufficient to determine the council's interest in
pursuing enforcement for material violations of the ordinance. Mr. Klein said yes. He said that
the council had made it clear in its discussions that it wanted material violations to be addressed
through a penalty, mitigation, or both.
MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 24, 2000 Page 8
Regular Meeting
Responding to a question from Councilor Lee, Mr. Johnson noted his concurrence with the staff
recommendation that the council stay with the word "may" rather than "will." He said that the
ordinance was written to parallel other ordinances, and generally the word "may" was used. Mr.
Klein concurred. He said that there were places in the code where "shall" was used, but he did
not know why. The issue was the prioritization of staff resources; if the ordinance included the
word "shall" the manager would be required to take enforcement action even in the case of very
minor violations.
Councilor Lee suggested that there were unintended consequences to the language change. He
was concerned about the change would create a resource commitment the council had not
foreseen. He asked about the fiscal impact of the change. Mr. Johnson said that it was difficult
to quantify the impact. Providing enforcement on every violation, no matter how small, could be
very expensive.
Councilor Meisner did not support the amendment. He believed the legislative history would
guide the manager's application of the ordinance. In addition, the ordinance was an interim
ordinance that the council would track the impact of.
Councilor Pap~ called for the question. There was no second to the motion.
Councilor Taylor supported the amendment because she thought there should be a penalty for
violating the ordinance.
Roll call vote; the motion failed, 5:1; Councilor Taylor voting yes.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 6, Restoration Requirement. Roll call vote; the motion
passed unanimously, 6:0.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 7, West Eugene Wetlands Plan Exception.
Councilor Kelly supported the amendment, saying he appreciated the issue was of manageable
size. He asked if Mr. Klein was comfortable with the language. Mr. Klein said yes, and noted
that there was a typographical error in that the phrase should be "or is in a waterway."
Responding to a question from Councilor Pap~, Mr. Klein indicated that Bruce Anderson's office
had sent the council a letter indicating the amendment addressed his concerns.
Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Pap~, to amend the motion by
adopting Amendment 8, Emergency Clause.
Responding to a question from Mayor Torrey, Mr. Klein said that if the ordinance did not pass with
six votes, the emergency clause would not take effect.
Councilor Pap8 opposed the motion because he did not share Mr. Lyle's belief that the
community was aware of the ordinance.

Roll call vote; the motion passed, 5:1; Councilor Pap~ voting no.
The council considered the amended motion.
Roll call vote; the motion passed, 5:1; Councilor Pap~ voting no.
Because Councilor Pap~ voted no, the council could not proceed to second reading.
Councilor Kelly expressed concern that Councilor Pap~ was using the first reading of the bill to
postpone action on the item. He said that first reading was a formality, and generally discussion
took place when the substantive motion was made. He acknowledged, however, that Councilor
Pap~ had the right to do so.
Councilor Kelly asked the council to consider directing staff to take action on the issue of interim
buffers.
Councilor Lee expressed concerns about the impact of Councilor Papa's vote on the council's
already full agenda on April 26.
Councilor Pap~ said that if the council would reconsider the emergency clause, he would
reconsider his vote.
Mayor Torrey called for a one-minute recess. The council reconvened.
Councilor Pap~ moved to reconsider his vote on the last motion.
Mayor Torrey pronounced the vote on first reading to be unanimous. He thanked Councilor Pap~
for his change in vote.
Mr. Johnson said that the council would consider Council Bill 4729 by council bill number only.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, that the bill be approved
and given final passage.
Councilor Lee thanked Councilor Pap~ for his reconsideration.
Roll call vote; the motion passed, 5:1; Councilor Pap~ voting no, and became
Ordinance No. 20194.
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to approve option A
regarding interim buffers. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0.

Regular Meeting
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, to approve the minutes,
findings, and recommendations from the Hearings Official.
Councilor Taylor objected to the motion because she continued to opposed the City's street
assessment methodology.

Mr. Johnson said that the council would consider Council Bill 4730, an ordinance levying
assessments for paving, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, street trees, wastewater and
drainage systems on Terry Street from Royal Avenue to Morely Loop; and declaring an
emergency (Contract #98-27) (Job #3599).
Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Taylor, that the bill, with the
unanimous consent of the council, be read by council bill number only, and
that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion passed
