Planning Director's Findings and
Recommendation: Annexation Request for
2488 Devon Reed
(City File: A 25-10)
Application Submitted: August 8, 2025
Applicant: Jennie Reed
Property Included in Annexation Request: Tax Lot 05700 of Assessor's Map 17-03-08-44
Zoning: AG Agricultural with /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay
Location : 2488 Devon Avenue
Exhibit C
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 t-------=~-~~=------<
~YES D City limits on its western boundary abutting Devon Avenue, consistent with subsection
NO (a).
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 t-------=~--'-r~=------<
~YES D encouraging compact urban growth to achieve efficient use of land and urban service
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 I/-C-4)
Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the
highest priority. (page I/-C-5).
2488 Devon Avenue (A 25-10) Page 1
EC 9.7825(3)
Exhibit C
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 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 low-density
residential use. The property is zoned AG Agricultural with a /UL Urbanizable Land
overlay. The current zoning of AG is intended to allow agricultural uses within the UGB
until land is converted to urban use. Agricultural uses are considered interim uses until
public facilities and services can be provided. In order for this property to further
develop as residential property in the future, a zone change to R-1 Low Density
Residential will be necessary. The /UL overlay will be automatically removed from the
zoning following annexation approval.
The Willakenzie Area Plan (WAP) is the adopted refinement plan for the subject
property. The subject property is located within the WAP's Unincorporated Subarea.
The WAP designates the area for Low-Density Residential use. With regard to applicable
policies of the WAP, none of the listed policies for this subarea appear to be directly
applicable to the subject property.
The proposed annexation does not conflict with any of the Land Use Policies in the WAP.
The "Public Facilities and Services Element" 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 Willakenzie Area Plan refinement plan.
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
>------=--~-=c----1
~YES D boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be
NO provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below:
2488 Devon Avenue (A 25-10) Page 2
Exhibit C
Wastewater
Public wastewater is available via a 24-inch line located within Devon Avenue right-of-
way, which is adjacent to the site. The subject property is currently served by a septic
system.
Stormwater
There is a 12-inch public stormwater line in Devon Avenue to the west of subject
property.
Soil maps indicate Type C soils on site. Any future development on the site will be
subject to the City of Eugene stormwater standards during the building permit process.
Transportation
The subject property fronts Devon Avenue, which is a local street maintained by the City
of Eugene. Compliance with applicable street standards will be evaluated at time of
future development.
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) 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.
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.
2488 Devon Avenue (A 25-10) Page 3
Exhibit C
Public Schools
The subject property is within 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.
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
of the annexation will be set in accordance with State law.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
• Upon approval of the annexation, the base zoning of AG Agricultural 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.
