ISSUE STATEMENT
This item is a request to annex a parcel of land located on the south side of River Loop #1, east of River
Road at 484 and 490 River Loop #1 on Tax Lot 8300 of Assessor’s Map 17-04-11-11. A map of the
property proposed for annexation is included as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND
In December 2007, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the procedures for annexation
requests and amending Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code (EC) to include these procedures. These
annexation procedures provide for the council to adopt a resolution approving, modifying and approving
or denying an application for annexation, or provide for the council to hold a public hearing before
consideration of the annexation request.
Approval of annexation requests are based on the criteria at EC 9.7825 which require that (1) the land
proposed to be annexed is within the city’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is contiguous to the city
limits or separated from city limits only by a right-of-way or water body; (2) the proposed annexation is
consistent with the applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans and (3)
the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimal level of key urban facilities and
services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Draft findings demonstrating that
the annexation request is consistent with these approval criteria are included as Exhibit C to the draft
resolution (Attachment B).
Public notice for this annexation request was provided in accordance with Eugene Code requirements,
and no written testimony has been received. As discussed in the attached findings, the proposed request
is within the UGB and contiguous to city limits, and can be provided with the minimum level of key
urban services consistent with the approval criteria. Given the findings of compliance, lack of testimony
received, and the non-controversial nature of the request, a public hearing is not recommended in this
instance.
Additional background information regarding this request, including relevant application materials, is
included for reference as Attachment C. A full copy of all materials in the record is available at the
th
Permit and Information Center located at 99 West 10 Avenue.
