RESOLUTION NO. 4903
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE
GUIDELINES FOR ANNEXATIONS ADOPTED BY
RESOLUTION NO. 4358 OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Administrative Guidelines for Annexation Proposals (the Guidelines) were
adopted by Resolution No. 4358 of the City Council on January 25, 1993. The Guidelines,
which were attached as Exhibit A to Resolution No. 4358 were adopted as City policy to be
utilized, together with such other criteria as may be required under state law and adopted City
policy, in the formation, processing and adjudication of annexation proposals.
B. Copies of Resolution 4358, including its Exhibit A, were forwarded to the City's
Planning Commission, Planning and Development Department and other affected City
departments to ensure the Guidelines were considered and evaluated in the processing and
development of annexation proposals to be initiated before the Lane County Local Government
Boundary Commission.
C. The second paragraph under the Annexation Initiation and Formation Guidelines
section of the Guidelines sets forth the conditions under which property owner initiated
annexation requests should be expanded to include road rights-of-way or public land. The City
Council has directed that the city manager halt the practice of adding right-of-way to annexation
requests in the River Road/Santa Clara area where such additions would create islands of
unincorporated properties, and the Guidelines should be amended to explicitly recognize this
direction.
NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a
Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows:
Section 1. Based on the above findings, which are hereby adopted, the lead sentence for
the second paragraph under the Annexation Initiation and Formation Guidelines section of the
Guidelines attached as Exhibit A to Resolution No. 4358 is amended by revising and adding
language to read as follows:
"Under any of the following conditions property owner initiated annexation
requests may be expanded to include road rights-of-way or public land except
where adding right of way would create islands of unincorporated properties in
the River Road/Santa Clara area."
Resolution - 1
Section 2. The City Recorder is requested to append a copy of this Resolution to
Resolution No. 4358, and to forward copies to the City's Planning Commission, Planning and
Development Department, Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission, and other
affected agencies or departments.
Section 3. Except as herein amended, all other provisions of Resolution No. 4358, and
the Administrative Guidelines for Annexations adopted therein, remain in full force and effect.
Section 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.
The foregoing Resolution adopted the 11th day of April, 2007.
