• Planning Director's Findings and Recommendation:
Annexation Request for 1708 River Road LLC
(City File: A 25-1)
Exhibit C
Application Submitted: January 17, 2025
Applicant: 1708 River Road, LLC
Property Included in Annexation Request: Tax Lot 05000 of Assessor's Map 17-04-13-32
Zoning: R-2 Medium-Density Residential with /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay
Location: 1708 River Road
Lead City Staff: Nicholas Gioello, Associate Planner, City of Eugene Planning Division, 541-682-5453
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 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 subject property is within the Urban Growth Boundary and is contiguous to
i------.-------1 ~ LJ City limits on its eastern border (River Road), 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
f-------,=~'----,=---t ~ D encouraging compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service
YES NO 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 I/-C-5).
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
1708 River Road (A 25-1) Page 1
1708 River Road (A 25-1)
Exhibit C
frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions
from urbanizable to urban. (page I/-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 medium-density
residential use. The River Road -Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is an
adopted refinement plan for the subject property, which also designates the area for
medium density residential use, consistent with the subject property's existing R-2
Medium-Density Residential zoning. The /UL overlay will be automatically removed from
the property upon approval of the annexation.
Regarding applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is located within the
River Road/Howard subarea. None of the subarea recommendations are directly
applicable to the subject request. 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.
The River Road -Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan is the other more recently adopted
refinement plan applicable to the subject property. While none of the goals or policies
appear to serve as mandatory approval criteria for this annexation, the following policy
is relevant to the annexation request:
Policy 17.4 Annexation: Annexation of the River Road and Santa Clara areas will occur
only through strict application of state laws and local policies
(e.g., ability to extend key urban facilities and services in a timely
manner). In each case, Eugene will make every reasonable
attempt to provide for annexation only on a voluntary basis and
according to prior individual property annexation agreements.
As this annexation request is both served by key urban facilities (see below) and is a
voluntary annexation, this policy is generally supportive of the request. Further, the
Neighborhood Plan Goals focus on promoting additional housing infill, which this
annexation will facilitate because of the expanded residential uses allowed on this
property following annexation.
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
Page 2
Exhibit C
procedure s beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found
throughout this report, the annexation is cons istent with State law.
Based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the
Metro Plan and RR/SC UFP refinement plan, and River Road -Santa Clara Neighborhood
Plan 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
YES NO provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
Wastewater
Public wastewater is available via an 8-inch line located within Hamilton Avenue right-of-
way, which is adjacent to the site . City records indicate the existing structure on the lot is
connected to the service line .
Stormwater
There is an existing 18-inch stormwater line adjacent to the site in Hamilton Avenue that
connects to the 36-inch stormwater line in River Road. Soil maps indicate Type C soils
exist on the site. No mapped infiltration limiting factors are noted. Any future
development w i ll be subject to the City of Eugene stormwater standards during the
building permit process.
Transportation
The subject property has frontage on Hamilton Avenue to the north, a local access road
under Lane County jurisdiction . This section of Hamilton Ave is paved and the current
access to the property is taken from Hamilton Avenue. The subject prope rty also has
frontage on River Road to the east, a Major Arterial. This section of River Road is owned
and maintained by the City of Eugene. Any future development of the site or alterations
to the existing access connection may require a facilities permit from Lane County
Transportation if Hamilton Avenue is still under Lane County jurisdiction .
Solid Waste
Collect ion service is provided by private firms. Regional disposal sites are operated by
Lane County .
Water and Electric
Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) Water staff confirm no objections to the
annexation of the site as water and electric services for the subject property are 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 .

CONCLUSION:
Exhibit C
Emergency medical services are provided by Eugene Springfield Fire 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 .
Public Schools
The subject property is with i n Eugene School District 4J. 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.
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 of the annexation will be set in accordance with State law.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
• Upon approval of the annexation , the base zoning of R-2 Medium-Density Residential will remain ;
however, the /UL Urbanizable Land overlay will be automatically removed from the annexation
area . Please contact the Permit Information Center, Planner-on-Duty at 541-682-5377 for more
information.
• Approval of this annexation does not relieve the applicant from complying with applicable codes
and statutory requirements.
