AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE INSTITUTION OF
PROCEEDINGS IN EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE ACQUISI-
TION BY CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS EAST
OF GREENHILL ROAD FOR AIRPORT PURPOSES.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. The City Council has authority under provisions of the City Charter and
applicable state law to institute proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition by
condemnation of private property for public purposes, including uses associated with the
operation and maintenance of its regional airport.
B. The City of Eugene has developed a regional airport which serves a trade area
covering afour-county area with an estimated population of over 500,000 people. [t is the
second largest airport in the state and provides a full range of airport-related services to the
public.
C. The public investment in the present regional airport began in 1956 and now
totals tens of millions of dollars. Projected capital improvements for the airport during the
next 1 S years is projected to exceed $50 million.
D, The adopted 1990 Eugene Airport Master Plan Master Plan} identifies the need
for airport expansion including additional runways to handle increased commercial and
general aircraft traffic. The acquisition of the properties authorized herein is an implementa-
tion of the Master Plan.
E. As designated in the Master Plan a parallel runway is to be constructed on the
east side of Green Hill Road. When the ,location of the runway was determined, the value
of the private property to the north and to the south of the runway was considered. It was
determined that the proposed runway location with the necessary clear zones is the least
disruptive to existing and future development and use of the adjacent private property.
Locating the runway further to the north would require disruption to an existing commercial
enterprise and the acquisition of existing structures.
F. Given the length of the proposed additional runway as outlined in the Master
Plan and given the existing Federal Aviation Administration FAA} safety standards, the City
must acquire the necessary land to facilitate construction and to ensure adequate clear zones
off the ends of the proposed runway.
ordinance - ~
G. To ensure that there are no encroachments upon property used for airport
purposes and that the City may have absolute control over the uses to which land in the
clear zone is put, the Council determines it is prudent to acquire fee title to the property and
such other property as may be necessary to provide an environmental buffer far the airport.
H. The land to be acquired by authorization of this ordinance is for runway and
clear zone use. The land will provide additional environmental buffering of existing airport
property from the encroachment of private development on nearby private property and
otherwise protect the public investment in the existing regional airport facilities.
J. The timely acquisition of property surrounding the airport allows for the long
range design, development and operation of the airport and related economies. Such
acquisition minimizes disruption and injury to private property interests while affording a
significant public good.
Now, therefore,
