The City Council of the City of Eugene finds .that. Tn 19?2, the Downtown Development District was created for the purpose of financing and administering programs of economic promo- tion and development, public parking, and promotion of all modes of transportation within the central business district. At the time of the creation of the Downtown Development Dis- trict, the property within the District north of 7th Avenue was to be cleared, placed in parking, and offered far future development. Since the creation of the Downtown Development District, the property north of 7th Avenue has been developed with the Eugene Performing Arts Center, the Eugene Conference Center, a hotel, and over 800 off-street parking spaces. The Eugene Performing Arts Center, the Eugene Conference Center, the hotel and parking spaces lay partially within and without the Downtown Development District, necessitating adjustment to the Down- town Development District boundaries by expanding or contracting the boundaries. The Performing Arts Center, Conference Center, hotel and park- ing facilities represent unique, integrated facilities within the community, a significant portion of which are in public ownership and control. The Eugene Performing Arts Center, the Eugene Conference Center, the hotel and parking facilities are integrated physically and their operation and function make it difficult to separate the public and private facilities for taxing purposes. The public facilities owned by the City are not subject to the Downtown Development District taxes and less than one half of the hotel is within the existing boundaries of the District and will be physically separated from the rest of the property within the District by the public conference facilities and a state high- way with high traffic volume. The removal of these facilities from the Downtown Development District will not adversely affect the purposes for which the Dis- trict was created.
