Planning Director's Findings and Recommendation:
Annexation Request for 3425 Coburg Road
(City File: A 26-01}
Application Submitted: January 5, 2026
Applicant: Jeff Tunnell
Exhibit C
Property Included in Annexation Request: Tax Lots 02900 and 03000 of Assessor's Map 17-03-09-34
Zoning: R-1 Low-Density Residential and /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay
Location: 3425 Coburg 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)
Complies
~ □
YES NO
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.
Findings: The subject property is within the Urban Growth Boundary and is contiguous to the
City limits along its west and south boundary, consistent with subsection (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
~ 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 I/-C-4)
Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the highest
priority. (page I/-C-5).
3425 Coburg Road (A 26-01) Page 1
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 11-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,
consistent with the subject property's existing R-1 Low-Density Residential zoning. The /UL
overlay will be automatically removed from the property upon approval of the annexation.
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.
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
~ □
YES NO
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:
Wastewater
Public wastewater is available via an 8-inch diameter public wastewater line in Coburg Road,
west of the subject property. Additionally, there is an existing 6-inch diameter public
wastewater line to the south of the subject property within Craftsman Way. Any future
development on the site will require connection to the public wastewater system during the
building permit process.
3425 Coburg Road (A 26-01) Page 2
Exhibit C
Stormwater
There is an existing 24-inch diameter public stormwater line within Coburg Road right-of-way,
west of the subject property. Additionally, there is an existing public stormwater line within
Craftsman Way, to the south of the subject property. Soil maps indicate primarily Type C/D
soils.
In the event of future development, the applicant may be required to address all applicable
stormwater management standards, including flood control, water quality, oil control,
easements, and operation and maintenance. Future development will be subject to the City of
Eugene Stormwater standards during the building permit process.
Transportation
The west boundary of Tax Lot 03000 fronts Coburg Road, a minor arterial city street. The south
boundary of Tax lot 02900 fronts Craftsman Way, a local city street.
Solid Waste
Collection service is provided by private commercial haulers. Short Mountain Landfill is
operated by Lane County and per the Lane County Solid Waste Management Plan (2019},
receives solid waste generated within the City.
Water and Electric
Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) confirms no objections to the annexation of the site.
Public Safety
Police protection can be extended to this site upon annexation consistent with service
provision through the City. Fire protection and emergency medical services will be provided by
Eugene Springfield Fire.
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
3425 Coburg Road (A 26-01) Page 3
Exhibit C
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 R-1 Low-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.
