Discussion Mayor Vinis - said that her plan for the meeting was to start with councilors putting theirspecific motions on the table. Councilor Syrett - said she had planned to bring a motion to remove minimum lot sizes related toADUs, but learned from staff that there are complicating factors in terms of related processes andasked staff to explain these complications; said that in the continuing work to comply with HB2001, council will need to revisit how density requirements are defined and she hoped to addressequity issues then; talked about a constituent recommending a slight change to the interiorsetback height limits, expanding from 8 to 10 feet, that would have minimal exterior impact, butopens up interior design options. ATTACHMENT A February 24, 2020, Meeting - Item 2ACC Agenda - Page 5 MINUTES – Eugene City Council Work Session January 21, 2020 Page 2 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Syrett, seconded by Councilor Pryor, moved to amend Section 8 of the ordinance to change the references from 8 feet to 10 feet currently located in EC 9.2751(17)(a)3.b, EC 9.2751(17)(b)5.a, EC 9.2751(17)(c)9.a, EC 9.2775(5)(e)3.a. Discussion  Councilor Clark – asked how HB 2001 alters the density calculation and how that will impact the issue of density; asked why it is a good idea to land on decisions around ADUs prior to LUBA’s decision coming up in a few weeks; asked about the definition of accessory dwelling unit and the mandate in HB 1051 to continue with clear and objective standards and if the City’s definition is clear and objective; said that a really clear definition of ADU will be needed in order to later address incentives; asked if the City could use its own definition for ADU and not the state’s.  Councilor Taylor – said she thinks that in order to call something an accessory dwelling it needs to be accessory to something; said she supported discussing each item separately, noting that she would vote against the motion unless they are separated; said she did not think the state should preempt the City’s authority especially on land use issues and anything to resist the preemption should be considered.  Councilor Semple – asked how Councilor Syrett’s amendment differs from Councilor Yeh’s amendment at the last work session regarding slope.  Councilor Pryor – said he thinks the impact the proposed motion will have on aesthetics is minimal, but it improves the ability to have a decent-sized wall and so he is supportive. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: PASSED 8:0.  Councilor Zelenka – said that he does not like this law because it’s a one-size-fits-all structure that will likely have many unintended consequences; spoke about the area around the university that has unique pressures related to student housing and that the bill will actually make low- to moderate-income housing disappear in this area; said keeping the two provisions in his motion are reasonable design and siting standards to maintain the livability in these areas related to maximum bedrooms and occupancy. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Zelenka, seconded by Councilor Semple, moved to amend Section 8 of the ordinance to retain the standard entitled “Maximum Occupancy” currently located at EC 9.2751(17)(c)8 and to renumber the remaining subsections accordingly.  Councilor Semple – said she had mixed feelings about this motion because she wants it to be fair to everyone, but also agreed that the university area is a different situation; expressed concern about using the “cookie cutter” approach, but there are neighborhood differences.  Councilor Clark – said he agrees with the intent of the motion and that the university area reflects a different use around an event center; said he’d like to leave the ordinance broad and general because what Eugene looks like today might change for tomorrow and other areas might also be impacted later; said he would not support the motion, though he likes the idea.  Councilor Taylor – said she would vote for the motion if it applied all neighborhoods but was not supportive if it is only restricted to university neighborhoods.  Councilor Evans – asked what the affect would be if the motion was applied to all neighborhoods.  Councilor Clark – asked what argument was used in favor of the standard as reasonably related to siting and design. February 24, 2020, Meeting - Item 2ACC Agenda - Page 6 MINUTES – Eugene City Council Work Session January 21, 2020 Page 3  Councilor Syrett – said she doesn’t love the exception framework but recognizes the particular pressures that these neighborhoods have been under; said the current exceptions that these neighborhoods have are for valid reasons and she would vote in favor of the motion.  Councilor Pyror – said there was a reasonable argument to be made for why neighborhoods are different; asked how the bedroom and occupancy exceptions relate to the removal of owner-occupancy in the state bills; said he would support the motion.  Councilor Semple – asked if this is one of the issues that is being challenged now; asked if the “five unrelated people rule” comes in when figuring out occupancy; asked what the effect would be of deciding one way or another as far as getting remanded or sued; asked about the difference between regulations and CC&Rs; asked how it will shift things if all R-1 zones become R-2 zones with HB 2001 and the refinement zones are mostly R-2 zones; said she thinks this might make the refinement plans moot.  Councilor Yeh – said she was not in favor of either of Councilor Zelenka’s motions because she does not think that these motions will get at some of the behavioral problems that people have.  Councilor Taylor – said that if HB 2001 is implemented, every neighborhood will be threatened and she would prefer if this applied to all neighborhoods; said she would vote for the proposed amendment asked about the enforcement of CC&Rs.  Councilor Clark – said that Western Title has a record of all CC&Rs and they are not hard to find; asked if the City will issue a permit if it knows about existing CC&Rs and if advisement is given when individuals apply for permits.  Councilor Zelenka – said he’s often surprised about what students put up with in cramming a ridiculous number of young adults into small spaces; said this impacts the livability of the neighborhoods; said that his amendments are directly related to design and siting and he hoped council would support the motion.  Councilor Semple - asked if having five unrelated people in a house is a complaint-driven issue and whether it could be addressed in the university area by simply taking complaints. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: PASSED 7:1, Councilor Yeh opposed. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Zelenka, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to amend Section 8 of the ordinance to retain the standard entitled “Maximum Bedrooms” currently located at EC 9.2751(17)(c)7 and to renumber the remaining subsections accordingly.  Councilor Taylor – said the motion should apply to the whole city. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: PASSED 7:1, Councilor Yeh opposed.  Councilor Semple – said that her potential motions came from constituents related to the JWN and S-C refinement areas, acknowledging her respect for these standards and the complicated nature of the issue; explained that while her motions address parking, the state is eliminating any requirements for on-site parking; asked how that affects these refinement zones; asked who would challenge it if council made the refinement zones different; said she’d like to protect the zones but doesn’t know how to do that if council isn’t addressing parking. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Semple, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to amend section 18 to delete the entire proposed amendment to subsection 9.3625(3)(d)3; and to replace the entirety of the proposed amendment to subsection 9.3625(7) with the following: (7) Parking Standards. (a) Except as provided in (3)(d)3. Above and subsection (7)(b), below, each dwelling shall have one on-street or on-site vehicle parking space for every three bedrooms, rounded up to the next whole number February 24, 2020, Meeting - Item 2ACC Agenda - Page 7 MINUTES – Eugene City Council Work Session January 21, 2020 Page 4 (i.e. a four-bedroom dwelling must have at least two parking spaces). For purposes of this subsection, each uninterrupted twenty feet of lot line that abuts a street right-of-way where parking is legal within the entirety of that twenty feet shall count as one on-street parking space. The twenty feet may not include any portion of a curb cut. (b) When there are two or more dwellings and there is no on-street parking space, as defined in subsection (7)(a), above, the parking space requirement shall be waived for one dwelling that has primary vehicle access from the street and no more than three bedrooms. [(b)](c) No portion of a vehicle parking area may be located in the area defined by the Street Setback minimum standard (i.e., from which structures, other than permitted intrusions, are excluded) or between the street and the residential building façade that faces, and is closest to, the street. And to renumber the code sections and cross-references accordingly.  Mayor Vinis – asked for clarification about what this motion would be changing from the draft ordinance.  Councilor Clark – asked about Eugene’s density and how that number related to other cities; suggested that other city’s densities are different than Eugene’s; said that the legislature didn’t take livability factors into account when they decided the reasonable criteria for siting and design; said parking is one of the most obvious livability issues, influencing the ability for buses and garbage trucks to drive within street lanes; said the parts of town in Councilor Semple’s motion are where the most likely dangerous realities will occur by forcing more cars to the street; said the legislature was wrong and the City should be able to require on-site parking for each of the people who live in a dwelling.  Councilor Zelenka – asked if the amendment would basically put a requirement on ADUs to have either on-street or on-site parking; said the state legislation explicitly prohibits local regulations related to owner-occupancy requirements or requirements to construct addition off-street parking; asked if the amendment would require in some circumstances additional off-street parking; asked how an on-street parking space is determined for a dwelling.  Councilor Pryor – clarified that this amendment is specific to properties with a second dwelling, not all property; asked about the scale of impact if this motion were to pass; said he doesn’t want to change regulations to address a problem that doesn’t exist in some areas, but if the intent of the motion is to restrict this to an area that is already having parking problems, he could support the proposed remedy; expressed concerns about running afoul of state law that might have to roll back later.  Councilor Syrett – clarified that this amendment would only apply to JWN zone for any ADU development; asked about waiver of parking requirement for one dwelling that has a primary vehicle access from the street and no more than three bedrooms and how that would apply to an ADU above a garage or backyard cottage without vehicle access; said she has too many questions about the impact and will not support the amendment.  Councilor Taylor – said East Amazon no longer has street parking and asked if that meant that those houses could not have an accessory dwelling; said she has a problem with this motion only applying to Jefferson Westside.  Councilor Clark – said he would vote in favor of the motion because there won’t be a lot of ADUs built in Jefferson Westside; talked about the traffic issues that will impact River Road and Santa Clara where ADUs are likely to be built; suggested that this will help inform how this amendment will apply in one area when the question comes up if it should be applied in other areas later. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: PASSED 6:2, Councilors Yeh and Syrett opposed. February 24, 2020, Meeting - Item 2ACC Agenda - Page 8 MINUTES – Eugene City Council Work Session January 21, 2020 Page 5 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Semple, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to amend section 25 to replace the proposed additional text: Additional one family dwelling in the SJW Jefferson Westside Special Area Zone or the R-2 sub area of the SC Chambers Special Area Zone in Table 9.6410 with the following text: For one additional one family dwelling in the R-2 subarea of the SC Chambers Special Area Zone.  Mayor Vinis – asked for clarification about what the current ordinance says and what it would say if this motion were passed.  Councilor Zelenka – clarified that the motion would strike “SJW Jefferson Westside Special Area Zone or”; asked if this motion would make the code consistent with the last motion passed.  Councilor Yeh – asked for further clarification about how this motion clarifies the first motion; asked if these changes will comply with state requirements. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: PASSED 8:0. MOTION TO DIVIDE: Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to give the City Manager final direction for preparing of the draft ordinance through separate motions that address each of the regulatory topics originally set out in the 2/20/2019 Summary and Initial Analysis of Accessory Dwelling Regulation Matrix.  Councilor Pryor - said council had been talking about this for so long and he didn’t see the benefit of breaking up the ordinance, that it’s in a comprehensive form and council should move forward on the ordinance as a package.  Councilor Syrett – said she was going to vote against the motion because council had discussed each issue on an individual basis and taken votes along the way and she didn’t see the purpose in doing that again.  Councilor Clark – said some of council’s specific questions couldn’t be answered yet and there were some that are dependent upon LUBA’s decision; said he was uncomfortable with portions of the proposed motion, especially the lack of a clear definition for an ADU; said he would vote in favor of the motion but wished for greater clarity.  Councilor Semple – said that council had already talked about all of these issues and at this point they needed to make some decisions to move forward, acknowledging that case law will clarify and develop things; said she was ready to move on to the next phase.  Councilor Zelenka – said council had discussed each of these issues individually and he was ready to move on. VOTE ON MOTION TO DIVIDE: FAILED 2:6, Councilors Taylor and Clark voted in favor.  Councilor Semple – asked staff to go over the issues related to flag lots.  Councilor Taylor – said she would be voting against the motion because she didn’t want to get rid of owner occupancy requirements, opposed allowing ADUs on flag lots, and expressed concern that affordable housing will get torn down and luxury places will be built instead.  Councilor Zelenka – said he would reluctantly vote in favor; said he thought parts of the ordinance will be counterproductive, but that the intent of the state law was clear and these changes make the City’s code in compliance with the law. VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED: PASSED 6:2, Councilors Taylor and Clark opposed.

Meeting Date: February 24, 2020 Agenda Item Number: 2C Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Althea Sullivan www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5485 ISSUE STATEMENT The City Council is scheduled to take action on this request for the annual withdrawal of previously annexed properties from special districts. BACKGROUND The purpose of the ordinance is to remove annexed properties from the tax rolls of special service districts, which in this case are the River Road Park & Recreation District, River Road Water District, Santa Clara Rural Fire Protection District, Santa Clara Water District, and Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. State law and local code require annexed properties to withdraw from special service districts through a separate process after the annexation of those properties becomes effective. Annexation of these properties was approved by City Council over the period of 2019 through early 2020, at the request of the property owners. Withdrawals come before the City Council on an annual basis. Properties annexed during the previous year are batched together to facilitate this process. The 2020 batch contains 10 annexations approved by City Council in 2019 and early 2020—for a total of 11 tax lots. Withdrawals are time sensitive. State law provides that, if a withdrawal is not approved prior to March 31, the withdrawal does not become effective until July 1 of the following year (i.e., 2021 for these properties). This delay would mean that the properties will remain on the tax roll of the special service districts that no longer provide services to the property for more than a year. Approving the withdrawal ordinance prior to March 31, 2020, will result in the withdrawals taking effect on July 1, 2020, and those properties being included on the City tax roll immediately thereafter. The City Council held the required public hearing on this item on February 18, 2020. Public notice of the hearing was published and posted as required by state law and local code requirements, including notice to the affected special service districts. The inclusion of these properties on City CC Agenda - Page 19 February 24, 2020, Meeting – Item 2C tax rolls, and withdrawal from special districts taxation, is anticipated by the property owners and by special districts as part of the annexation process. No testimony has been received as of February 18, 2020. Any written testimony received will be provided to council prior to action. The approval criterion for withdrawal from public service districts following annexation is contained in Eugene Code 9.7835 and corresponding statutory provisions in Oregon Revised Statute 222.524, which require the City Council to find that approval of the withdrawal is in the best interest of the City. If council finds the withdrawals are in the City’s best interest, council is asked to adopt the attached ordinance (see Attachment A), which provides for the withdrawal from special service districts of these annexed properties. Maps and legal descriptions of the properties to be withdrawn are provided as exhibits to the ordinance. PREVIOUS COUNCIL DIRECTION February 18, 2020, Public Hearing A public hearing was held. No speakers appeared to give testimony either for or against the draft ordinance. COUNCIL OPTIONS City Council may consider the following options: 1. Approve the withdrawals by ordinance; 2. Approve the withdrawals by ordinance with specific modifications as determined by the City Council; 3. Deny the withdrawals by ordinance. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends adoption of the ordinance as drafted, providing for withdrawal of all listed territories by March 31, 2020. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to adopt an Ordinance Providing For Withdrawal of Annexed Properties From the Following Special Districts: River Road Parks & Recreation District; River Road Water District; Santa Clara Rural Fire Protection District; Santa Clara Water District; and Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District.

The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A.Notice of the proposed withdrawal of real property which has been annexed to the City from the River Road Park & Recreation District; River Road Water District; Santa Clara Rural Fire Protection District; Santa Clara Water District; and Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District (“the Districts”) was published in the Register-Guard on February 4 and 11, 2020, posted in the Lane County Public Service Building, the Eugene Downtown Library, Eugene’s Building and Permit Service Center in the Atrium Building and at the Eugene City Manager’s Office for a period of two successive weeks prior to the hearing date, and mailed to the affected public service districts. B.The Notice provided that a public hearing was scheduled for February 18, 2020, at 7:30 p.m., in Harris Hall at the Lane County Public Service Building in Eugene, Oregon, to allow the City Council to hear objections to the withdrawals and to determine whether the withdrawals are in the best interest of the City. C.The City is willing to assume the liabilities and indebtedness previously contracted by the Districts proportionate to the parts of the Districts that have been annexed to the City upon the effective date of the withdrawals as provided in ORS 222.520. D.The withdrawals of the annexed territories from the Districts are consistent with adopted City policies, and are in the best interest of the City.

Although this treatment was considered a best management practice at the time it was put into effect, it is no longer necessary as the vast majority of the American Elms in Eugene have succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease or other causes. Since 2014, the City of Eugene has spent just over $30,000 on private tree removal. Currently, the cost of tree removal and disposal is averaging about $5000 per tree due to the exorbitant cost of disposal and access to the trees themselves. Many of these trees require use of a crane for removal as many are in citizen’s backyards. In fact, one single complex tree removal can cost in excess of $15,000. This cost would be justifiable if the treatment were effective, but at this time, it is no longer considered a best management practice for controlling the spread of the disease. Since the time of the original council resolution, new disease resistant elms have been introduced to the market and preventative chemical treatments are available. It is the opinion of Urban Forestry staff that the money spent to remove elms from private property would be better spent in other areas of the Urban Forestry program such as tree planting or pruning to reduce the City’s pruning cycle. BACKGROUND At the time that the Council Resolution and subsequent Administrative Order went into effect in 1986, both the City of Eugene and the nation were aggressively trying to prevent the spread of Dutch Elm Disease. The Order was put into place in an attempt to prevent the spread of disease, ensure that removed trees were properly disposed of, and to save the American Elm population in Eugene. Many of these trees were mature and stately, adding to the character and livability of Eugene. At that time, considering that there was no chemical or biological treatment available, preemptive removal of all tree material to lessen habitat for the fungus spreading elm beetle was a valid solution to the problem. CC Agenda - Page 45 February 24, 2020, Work Session – Item 2D PREVIOUS COUNCIL DIRECTION Council Resolution 3993, July 28, 1986: A Resolution Declaring Dutch Elm Disease to Be A Public Nuisance and Authorizing the Summary Abatement of Infested Trees. Please see attachment A. COUNCIL OPTIONS 1. Repeal Council Resolution No. 3993. 2. Take no action. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends repealing Council Resolution No. 3993.

Submitted Passed Rejected- _ Defeyred To - COUNCIL MINUTES Val.- Pago.- ATTACHMENT A February 24, 2020, Work Session – Item 2DCC Agenda - Page 47 RESOLmION NO. 3993 A RESOLUTION DECLARING DUTCB ELM DISEASE TO BE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AKD AUTHORTZING THE SUMMARY ABATEMENT OF INFESTED TREES. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: The Parks and Recreation Department of the City has advised the Council that : A. It has discovered an elm tree located on private prcperty within the City that is infested with Dutch Elm disease. It has therefore begun an inspection of all elm trees located within the City to determine rf other trees are so infested; B. Dutch Elm disease is a currently incurable disease carried by beetles and root graft, and once infested there is no known way to prevent the eventual death of the tree. The only "treatment" is to prevent the spread of the disease by immediately cutting down the infested trees and berying all wood, limbs, branches and other debris from the trees. Because the early detection, removal and proper burial of all debris from infested trees is the only way to prevent the spread of the disease to all elm trees in Eugene, it is in the public interest that the City perform those services with respect to trees located on private property, at no expense to the property owner. In order to prevent the spread of this dis~ase the Courcil therefore specifically finds that Dutch Elm disease is a public nuisance which is injurious or detrimental to the welfare of the City and infested trees should 5e immediately abated by City personnel. The Council further finds that the removal of any elm tree, or any wood, limbs, branches or other debris from any elm tree within the City limits by any person other than authorized City personnel will constitute a violation of Section 6.110 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and is punishable by a fine not to exceed $200.00, pursuant to Section 5.990(2) of the Eugene Code, 1971. NOW , THEREFOR33 , BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: Secti~n 1.

Bohner www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5437 ISSUE STATEMENT This item is a request to annex the property located at 1345 Elkay Drive. The property to be annexed is approximately .44 acres (19,091 square feet) and is located on the north side of Elkay Drive, west of River Road. No public right-of-way is proposed for annexation as part of this request, and there is no formal deadline for City Council action on this item. A vicinity map is provided as Attachment A. The property is zoned R-1 Low-Density Residential with the /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay. Both the Metro Plan and the applicable refinement plan, the River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan, designate the subject property for Low Density Residential use. The area of annexation is located within the City’s urban growth boundary and is only separated from the City limits by the right-of-way for Elkay Drive along the property’s south property boundary. Annexation will allow for future development consistent with the property’s land use designation and the Eugene Code. Specific plans for future development of the site are not included as part of this annexation application. BACKGROUND To encourage compact urban growth and sequential development within Eugene’s UGB, the Metro Plan provides that ultimately all land within the UGB will be annexed into the City and provided with a minimum level of urban services. Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at Eugene Code 9.7825 which require that (1) the land proposed to be annexed is within the City’s UGB and is contiguous to the City limits or separated from City limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans; and (3) the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Findings demonstrating that the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the attached draft resolution (Attachment B). CC Agenda - Page 52 February 24, 2020, Meeting – Item 4A To provide nearby property owners and residents an opportunity to review and comment on this annexation request, public notice was provided to all owners and occupants of property within 500 feet of the subject property and the affected neighborhood association (River Road Community Organization) consistent with Eugene Code requirements. No testimony has been received to date regarding the proposed annexation of this property. Referral comments were provided by affected agencies including City of Eugene Public Works, Eugene Water & Electric Board, and Lane County Public Works. These referral comments confirm that the property can be provided with the minimum level of key urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance, ability for the provision of key urban services, and absence of any testimony, a public hearing is not recommended in this instance. Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is included for reference as Attachment C. A full copy of all materials in the record is also available at the Permit and Information Center located at 99 West 10th Avenue. PREVIOUS COUNCIL DIRECTION None. COUNCIL OPTIONS City Council may consider the following options: 1. Adopt the draft resolution 2. Adopt the draft resolution with specific modifications as determined by the City Council 3. Deny the draft resolution 4. Defer action until after the council holds a public hearing on the proposed annexation CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends City Council adopt the resolution by finding that the request complies with all applicable approval criteria, and that the annexation be approved. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to adopt a resolution approving the proposed annexation request consistent with the applicable approval criteria. ATTACHMENTS A. Vicinity Map B.

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) The land proposed to be annexed is within the city’s urban growth boundary and is: (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 annexation area is within the City’s urban growth boundary (UGB) and is separated from the city only by a public right of way, consistent with subsection (b). 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 compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service provisions within the UGB, including the following policies from the Growth Management section (in italic text): Policy 8. Land within the UGB may be converted from urbanizable to urban only through annexation to a city when it is found that: a. A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and efficient manner. b. There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban services and facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the Metro Plan. (page II-C-4) Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the highest priority. (page II-C-5). YES NO February 24, 2020, Meeting – Item 4ACC Agenda - Page 60 Finnerty, Kathryn (A 19-11) January 2020 Page 2 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 following policy from the Residential Element of the Metro Plan is also applicable: Policy A.2 Residentially designated land within the UGB should be zoned consistent with the Metro Plan, and applicable plans and policies; however, existing agricultural zoning may be continued within the area between the city limits and UGB until rezoned for urban uses. The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for low-density residential use. The River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted refinement plan for the subject property and designates the area for low density residential use. The property is zoned R-1 Low-Density Residential with a /UL Urbanizable Land overlay. The R-1 zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan and RR/SC UFP designations. The /UL overlay will be automatically removed from the property following annexation approval. Regarding applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is not within a defined subarea. Further, none of the general “Residential Land Use Policies” at Section 2.2 appear to be directly applicable to the subject request. The “Public Facilities and Services Element” policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban services) is the assumption that property within the UGB will be annexed. As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. 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. Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and RR/SC UFP 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, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: Wastewater Public Wastewater lines are available within the right-of-way of Elkay Drive. The existing home located at 1345 Elkay Drive is currently connected to the City’s wastewater system. There is no lien information in the special assessment database for the subject property. YES NO February 24, 2020, Meeting – Item 4ACC Agenda - Page 61 Finnerty, Kathryn (A 19-11) January 2020 Page 3 Stormwater City of Eugene stormwater systems are not available in this area and the soils appear to have poor permeability rates. Infiltration testing may be required at the time of development to demonstrate adequate percolation rates. There are additional options for complying with stormwater standards which will be further evaluated at the time of future development. All treatment and destination must be approved prior to development. Transportation The property has frontage on Elkay Drive, a Lane County local street with North Park Avenue (Minor Arterial) to the west leading directly to NW Expressway (Major Arterial). To the East, Elkay Drive connects directly to River Road, also a Major Arterial, owned and maintained by the City of Eugene. Elkay Drive and North Park Avenue are paved but not improved with sidewalks, curb and gutter, street trees or street lights. Any future development will be evaluated for compliance with current standards through the applicable development application. Solid Waste Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites and the Short Mountain Landfill are operated by Lane County. Water and Electric EWEB Water staff state no objection to the annexation. EWEB Electric staff also state no objection to the annexation. Water and electric services can be extended to the subject property in accordance with EWEB policies and procedures. Public Safety Police protection can be extended to this site upon annexation consistent with service provision through the City. Fire protection will be provided by Eugene Springfield Fire. Emergency medical services are currently provided on a regional basis by the cities of Eugene and Springfield and will continue in the same manner upon annexation. Parks and Recreation Parks and recreation programs are provided on a City-wide basis. The inclusion of the subject property in the City is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum level of this key urban service is met. Planning and Development Services Planning and building permit services are provided for all properties located within the urban growth boundary by the City of Eugene. The Eugene Code, Chapter 9, will provide the required land use controls for future development of the subject property upon annexation. Communications A variety of telecommunications providers offer communications services throughout the Eugene/Springfield area. February 24, 2020, Meeting – Item 4ACC Agenda - Page 62 Finnerty, Kathryn (A 19-11) January 2020 Page 4 Public Schools The subject property is within Eugene School District 4J and is within the district boundary of River Road Elementary School, Kelly Middle School, and North Eugene High School. As access to schools is evaluated on a district-wide basis, the property’s location within the school district is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the minimum level of this key urban service is met. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, information submitted to date, and the criteria set forth in EC 9.7825, the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable approval criteria. A map and legal description showing the area subject to annexation are included in the application file for reference. The effective date is set in accordance with State law.
