Resolution - Page 1 of 2 Exhibit C Annexation Request for Staton Family Trust (City File: A 21-3) Application Submitted: March 01, 2021 Applicant: Claudia Jean Staton and Jeffery Staton on behalf of the Staton Family Trust Under Bartzat Joint Trust Property Included in Annexation Request: Zoning: R-1 Low-Density Residential with /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay Location: 3647 Coburg Road Representative: Elsa Johnson; Metro Planning, Inc. Lead City Staff: Rodney Bohner, Associate Planner, City of Eugene Planning Division, 541-682-5437 EVALUATION: Based on the information provided by the applicant, the City has determined that this request complies with Eugene Code (EC) Section 9.7805 Annexation - Applicability. 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 ci (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 Ci contiguous to City limits along the properry, consistent with subsection (a). 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 YES NO 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). Staton Family Trust (A 21-3) April 2021 Page 1 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 Willakenzie Area Plan (WAP) is the adopted refinement plan for the subject property, which also designates the area for low density residential use. The property is zoned R-1 Low-Density Residential with a /UL Urbanizable Land overlay. The /UL overlay will be automatically removed from the property following annexation approval. Regarding applicable policies of the WAP, the subject property is located within the North Region, Unincorportated Subarea. None of the listed policies for this subarea appear to be directly applicable to the subject property. The proposed annexation does not appear to conflict with any of the Land Use Policies or Residential Policies. The policies of the WAP are directed at local government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban services) is the assumption that the properties 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. Based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and WAP 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: YES NO Staton Family Trust (A 21-3) April 2021 Page 2 Wastewater Wastewater service is available in Coburg Road via an 8-inch mainline which demonstrates that service is available to the site. In the event of future improvements, evaluation of service connections will occur. Stormwater Stormwater lines exist within Coburg Road which provide one option for treatment at the time of development. Treatment of stormwater will be further evaluated for consistency with City of Eugene policies and plans for treatment at the time of development. With options to retain on-site, use existing service, or develop new infrastructure stormwater treatment can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Transportation The property has frontage on Coburg Road, a public street that connects to other streets allowing access to the greater public street system. In the event further development, additional evaluation of access to the public street system would occur at that time. Solid Waste Collection service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites are operated by Lane County. Water and Electric Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) staff confirm that water and electric services are available to the property. 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 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. Staton Family Trust (A 21-3) April 2021 Page 3 Communications A variety of telecommunications providers offer communications services throughout the Eugene/Springfield area. Public Schools The subject property is within Eugene School District 4J and is within the district boundary of Gilham Elementary School, Cal Young Middle School, and Sheldon High 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 will be set in accordance with State law. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: Upon approval of the annexation, the base zoning of R-1 Low-Density Residential will remain; however, the /UL Urbanizable Lands overlay will be automatically removed from the annexation area.

Approval of this annexation does not relieve the applicant from complying with applicable codes and statutory requirements. Staton Family Trust (A 21-3) April 2021 Page 4
