ENVISION EUGENE: JOINT DELIBERATIONS ON RESIDENTIAL REDESIGNATIONS- Crow Rd Study Area & Irving Rd/Eagles (City Files MA 13-2, RA 13-1, Z 13-7) The Eugene and Lane County Planning Commission will hold joint deliberations on a package of efficiency strategies to accommodate more housing inside the existing urban growth boundary (UGB). The Lane County Planning Commission is participating in the Metro Plan amendments proposed on land outside of the city limits but inside the UGB (e.g. within the Crow Road Study Area and the Irving Road/Eagles site). These are the only two sites that will be the focus of deliberations on December 3rd. Staff: Heather O’Donnell, 541-682-5488 or heather.m.odonnell@ci.eugene.or.us Terri Harding, 541-682-5635 or terri.l.harding@ci.eugene.or.us Commissioners: Steven Baker; John Barofsky; Jonathan Belcher; Rick Duncan; John Jaworski (Vice- Chair); Jeffery Mills; William Randall (Chair)  AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY December 3, 2013 To: City of Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions From: Heather O’Donnell & Terri Harding, City of Eugene Planning Division Subject: Envision Eugene Implementation: Deliberations on Residential Re‐designation package (City files MA 13‐2, RA 13‐1, Z 13‐7) ACTION REQUESTED Hold a joint Eugene and Lane County Planning Commission work session to deliberate and provide a recommendation to the Eugene City Council and the Board of County Commissioners on city initiated Metro Plan Diagram Amendments, and corresponding refinement plan diagram/text amendments and zone changes as part of Envision Eugene. The Lane County Planning Commission is only participating in those re‐designations proposed on land outside the city limits but inside the UGB (e.g. within the Crow Road Study Area and the Irving Road/Eagles site). These are the only two sites that will be the focus of deliberations on December 3rd, and are therefore the only two sites that are addressed in this Agenda Item Summary. BRIEFING STATEMENT As part of Envision Eugene, the city’s plan to establish a new Eugene‐only urban growth boundary (UGB) and accommodate the next 20 years of growth in our community, the City Council initiated land use re‐designations to accommodate more of the 20 year housing need inside the current UGB. Only two of five sites proposed for re‐designation will be considered at the December 3rd Planning Commission deliberations. They are discussed in more detail below. The remaining three sites will be addressed at the Eugene Planning Commission work session on December 16 and include:  Gilham Road  Former Naval Reserve Site  Willamette Street/ Rest‐Haven Cemetery The December 3 deliberations will address the following subject sites for re‐designation and corresponding refinement plan diagram/text amendment and zone change: Current Proposed Location Size in Metro Zoning Change Metro Plan Zoning acres (ac) Plan in acres Crow Rd Study Area**¹ 277 ac MDR R‐1 201 ac LDR R‐1 (no change) PC Agenda - Page 1  52 tax lots south of study West 11thAve., west area 66 ac MDR (no change) R‐2 of Lane Memorial cemetery, east of 10.2 ac COM R‐1 (no change) Greenhill Rd, north of the UGB Irving Rd./Eagles*¹ 1704104203500 (about 7 ac for 16.9 ac POS R‐1 16.9 ac LDR R‐1 (no change) church, 8 ac for new housing, 2 ac for new park) *Includes an automatic refinement plan land use diagram amendment ** Includes corresponding refinement plan land use diagram and text amendment ¹ Includes Metro Plan amendments requiring Lane County approval since they are located inside the UGB but outside city limits. See Attachment A for a map of the subject areas. BACKGROUND The Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions held a joint public hearing on November 19, 2013 to consider the proposed Metro Plan diagram amendments and associated refinement plan amendments and zone changes. A total of 18 people testified at the public hearing; 3 testified regarding the Crow Rd Study Area and 2 testified regarding Irving Rd/Eagles. Following the close of the public hearing, the record was left open for the various sites. The following summarizes when the record was/will be closed and the amount of additional testimony that was received. The additional testimony received for these sites as of Nov. 22, 2013 was forwarded to the Planning Commission under separate cover and can be viewed at the website at the end of this memo. Crow Road Study Area Nov. 27, 2013 1 Irving Rd/Eagles Nov. 19, 2013 (after hearing) n/a Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commissions asked staff to respond to several issues raised in testimony. Staff responses are provided in Attachment B. For the preliminary findings, refer to the draft included in the Nov 19, 2013 Planning Commission meeting materials. The proposed package of re‐designations and corresponding refinement plan and zone changes directly implement several Envision Eugene strategies under the housing affordability and compact development pillars. Specifically, these amendments achieve the following Envision Eugene strategies in italics:  Accommodate more of the single‐family housing need inside the current UGB: PC Agenda - Page 2  Re‐designate selected areas that are more suited to single‐family housing than multi‐family housing. (Housing Affordability pillar, strategy 3.a)  Promote compact development and denser housing types (e.g. multi‐family housing) closer to existing and planned services such as downtown, along key transit corridors, and in core commercial areas: 100% of the multi‐family housing need can be accommodated inside the current UGB…increase the number of multi‐family homes that are constructed in the downtown, along key transit corridors, and in core commercial areas. (Housing Affordability pillar, strategy 2) Meet all of the 20‐year multi‐family housing and commercial job needs within the existing UGB… Integrate new development and redevelopment in the downtown, on key transit corridors, and in core commercial areas… (Compact Development pillar, strategy 1.a) RECOMMENDATION/NEXT STEPS Staff recommends that the Planning Commissions review the testimony and the staff recommended clarifications, and provide any suggested revisions before recommending approval of the proposed Metro Plan amendments and corresponding refinement plan diagram/text amendments and zone changes.

The issues are identified in bold below, followed by staff response. This memo only addresses those comments related to the joint city and county sites; Crow Road Study Area and Irving Rd/Eagles. Crow Road Study Area 1. Public Involvement Process Planning Commission asked what the timeline was for notification to property owners regarding the current proposal and if they were allotted the same opportunities to change the re‐designation proposed on their property. Over the course of the Crow Road re‐designation planning process seven direct mailings, three meetings, three questionnaires, two Planning Commission work sessions, and countless emails and phone calls have provided property owners with step by step project information and opportunities for involvement and input. Several different iterations of the proposed land use concept plans have been shared with property owners and are attachments to this memo. The map that was mailed to property owners in August of 2013 clearly shows the concept for additional Medium Density Residential from previous proposals. Specific letters, meetings, and emails requesting input and providing updates on the process included: 1. June 2011‐ Initial letter to property owners presenting Envision Eugene Low Density Residential (LDR) land deficit and inquiring about interest in re‐designated to LDR. 2. Dec 2011‐ Letter to property owners regarding and announcing January 2012 meeting. 3. Jan 2012‐ Meeting and questionnaire to present re‐designation opportunity and gather input on locations for future land uses and future development concepts. 4. July 2012‐ Letter to property owners with questionnaire and map regarding where future land uses should be located and future development concepts. 5. Sept 2012‐ Meeting and questionnaire to present and gather input on Sept 27, 2012 locations for future land uses and future development concepts. See Map 1: Draft Concept Plan (9/27/12).

Increase in amount of Medium Density Residential (MDR) Designation from Earlier Drafts Planning Commission and public testimony asked why the amount of Medium Density Residential proposed to remain was increased from earlier versions of the draft concept plan.  In continued discussions with the property owner on the east side of the study area (Owens), the property owners informed staff that they would like to retain more of the MDR on their properties. Specifically, they are interested in retaining more MDR on the flattest portion of their property to make up for the cost of mitigating the development of wetlands on their site.  The property owners of the largest area proposed for retaining MDR (DAG Trust) note in their testimony that keeping 2/3 of the property as MDR and re‐designating 1/3 of the property to LDR fits well with their desire to have their land outside of the UGB brought into the UGB for single‐ family residential. Their concept plan provided in their testimony also shows significant parks and open space; staff notes that retaining more MDR can help offset those costs.  Given these conversations, the MDR is shown mostly in the flatter portions of these lots, near the major streets and planned commercial area. 3. Public testimony Requesting to Retain Additional Medium Density Residential One additional property owner on the western side of the site (St. Jacques’) has indicated that they would like to retain their entire property with the existing MDR designation and rezone to R‐2. If additional testimony is submitted before the close of the record on Nov. 27, 2013, staff will provide this information prior to Planning Commission deliberations on Dec 3. 4. Is the Property to the South of the Crow Road Study Area Proposed for UGB Expansion Planning Commission asked whether the property to the south of the Crow Road Study Area is proposed for a potential UGB expansion area. On June 14, 2012, the City Council directed staff to study four areas for a potential residential UGB expansion. One of those areas is known as the DAG Trust property. It is about 207 acres south of the Crow Rd Study Area and south of the urban growth boundary (UGB). Staff has initiated environmental studies of all four potential expansion areas. Additional analysis of the potential expansion areas is not anticipated until the work on the single‐family efficiency strategies, such as these proposed re‐designations, is completed. Once complete, the actual amount of single‐family homes that cannot be accommodated inside the current UGB will be refined which will inform how much acreage is need for expansion. As such, the DAG Trust property to the south of the Crow Rd Study Area as well as the three other UGB expansion study areas are still under study. 5. Effects of Envision Eugene on tree removal for properties to the south of the Crow Road Study Area Public testimony was received indicating that tree removal is occurring on property south of the UGB (and south of the Crow Rd Study Area); possibly as a result of Envision Eugene work. The property that was described is not one of the four areas being studied for a potential residential UGB expansion in Envision Eugene. The properties are within the county and designated as forest land. Tree removal is a regular use of forest land and is subject to county regulations. 6. Planning Crow Road Study Area with Potential UGB Expansion Area Public testimony from the DAG Trust property owner states it would be prudent to blend the planning efforts for both the Crow Rd Study Area re‐designation work with long‐range planning that would be in conjunction with any UGB expansion area in the DAG Trust property south of the UGB (referred to as the Willow Creek Hills Expansion Property in the testimony), should this property be selected for inclusion into the UGB. Staff doesn’t disagree that it would be ideal to plan the area inside the UGB with the area outside the UGB if the area south of the Crow Rd Study Area was selected for inclusion into the UGB. However, the amount of land re‐designated to low density residential (LDR) directly affects the amount of UGB expansion for LDR that is needed. Therefore, by necessity the amount of re‐designation to occur 4 PC Agenda - Page 9 inside the UGB (e.g. in the Crow Rd Study Area) needs to be completed before planning a UGB expansion area can begin. That said, long‐range planning in conjunction with any UGB expansion area will incorporate any long range planning for adjacent land, such as the Crow Road Study Area. Irving Rd/Eagles 1. Public Involvement Process Planning Commission asked what the timeline was for notification to and input from the adjacent property owners/residents regarding the proposed re‐designation. 1. The Envision Eugene Recommendation was presented in March 2012. The Irving Rd/Eagles site was not identified in that recommendation as a potential re‐designation area. 2. The Westside Baptist Church bought the property and submitted for a modification to the existing conditional use permit (CUP) on the property to change the use from a fraternal use (Eagles Lodge) to a religious use in December 2012. The application materials noted the intended use for a portion of the property for a subdivision. 3. Public notice of the proposed CUP modification occurred in May 2013 with a decision approval the proposed modification sent in June 2013. 4. Staff contacted the property owner around June 2013 regarding if they are intended for part of their property to be used for housing in the future, which they confirmed. The property owner indicated that they were intending to pursue re‐designation in preparation for a future subdivision. 5. Staff sent a letter to adjacent property owners and residents within 300’ of the property in June 2013 notifying property owners that the city has a projected deficit of Low Density Residential Land, that the Westside Baptist Church have indicated that they do not need the entire golf course area (approximately 11 acres) for the church use (see map on reverse) and that the city is considering re‐designating the site to Low Density Residential. The letter also included contact information as well as notification of the Planning Commission’s July 8, 2013 Residential Re‐ designation work session. Staff also sent an email to those who submitted comments (by email) on the CUP modification. 6. Several emails and phone calls were received in response to the above letter, most in opposition due to concerns regarding development (number of homes, traffic), loss of open space, historic significance of the site. 7. The Planning Commission held July 2013 Residential Re‐designation work sessions which this site was discussed. 8. Staff met on‐site on July 26, 2013 with city Parks and Open Space (POS) staff, property owner representatives, and an adjacent neighbor to explore the possibility of a park acquisition at this location and hear neighborhood concerns regarding the proposed re‐designation. 9. The property owner requested time on the Santa Clara Community Organization’s August agenda to discuss future development of the site. Prior to and after the meeting, staff coordinated with the neighborhood leader on questions. 10. In October, staff emailed those who had previous inquired about the proposed re‐designation (and had given an email address) updating them on future Nov. 19 public hearing to re‐designate the site and the on‐going discussions with POS staff regarding potential park acquisition. 11. Notification of the Residential Re‐designation public hearing was sent to all property owners and residents within 500’ of the proposed re‐designation/rezoning sites. Four letters were received in opposition to the Irving Rd/Eagles re‐designation and two in support (including property owner) prior to the Nov 19 public hearing. 2. Land Use Application Background Planning Commission asked for the background and timing of the existing land use approvals on this site. 5 PC Agenda - Page 10  1. Conditional Use Permit file no. CU 87‐16 was approved for a clubhouse expansion and golf course for the Eagles Lodge in 1987. 2. In December of 2012, the new property owner Westside Baptist Church applied for a modification (file no. MDR 12‐10) of that approval to change the use from a fraternal organization to a church use and allow for future building additions. 3. The CUP modification was approved June 2013 and with no appeals, became effective July 2013. 4. In July 2013, Westside Baptist Church submitted an annexation application. That application is pending. 3. Impact to Schools Planning Commission and public testimony asked what the impact to schools would be due to re‐ designation of this site to LDR. Bethel School District has indicated that there is current adequate space at the schools in that attendance area (Irving Elementary School, Shasta Middle School, and Willamette High School. Additionally, Bethel School District is involved in long range planning that forecasts an increase in enrollment in the district and is making plans accordingly. 4. Historical Significance Planning Commission and public testimony asked whether or not the site has historic significance. Public testimony also noted the proximity of the site to the former Chambers family house. The city’s historic preservation regulations apply if the building/site is a city landmark or on the National Historic Register. A building/site that is privately owned can only be nominated to be a city landmark or on the historic register by the property owner. The Irving Rd/Eagles site is not currently a city or national historic site. Regarding the former Chambers family house, it is on the National historic register and is located near the subject property, to the east (see red triangle on map below): Subject Property 5. Vehicle Trip Cap Planning Commission and public testimony asked for clarification regarding the trip cap. Specifically, clarification was requested regarding what the trip cap is, how it would be enforced, when/how it can be removed, and clarifying whether a future developer would have to do a traffic analysis. 6 PC Agenda - Page 11 Transportation Planning Rule Background The trip cap is a result of addressing the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 12 and the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). The TPR provisions are required to be addressed as part of any proposed comprehensive plan amendment (in this case, a change in the land use designation on the Metro Plan diagram) or zone change (in this case, zone changes associated with the proposed Metro Plan amendments). The applicable TPR provision in this case (Oregon Administrative Rule 660 012 0060(1)(c)), requires a determination of whether the future traffic projected as a result of the proposed plan amendment will significantly impact (e.g. negatively impact) any existing or planned transportation facilities (streets, intersections). This TPR provision also allows provides that it can be determined that there is no “significant effect” on a transportation facility if an enforceable, ongoing requirement is imposed that would demonstrably limit traffic generation on the site. The proposed trip cap is such a requirement. In this case, enough analysis has been done to know that the proposed designation is projected to generate more traffic than the existing designation. The trip cap is intended to be a temporary measure, limiting traffic generated by new development on the site until the city’s transportation system plan is updated, which will include the street and intersection level analysis and identification of any mitigation (e.g. transportation projects) necessary for the transportation system to support the future housing assumed for these sites. The trip cap is being proposed at this time so that the re‐designations can be adopted while not getting ahead of the street and intersection level analysis and identification of any necessary mitigation, which will be completed as part of updating the TSP. Trip Cap Implementation It is anticipated that the trip cap requirement would be imbedded in the ordinance that re‐designates the property. The intent is that the trip cap will be temporary until the city’s long‐range transportation system plan (TSP) called TransPlan is updated. As such, as part of the re‐designation ordinance two options to remove/modify the trip cap in the future would be identified; both of the options include a TPR analysis demonstrating that the new designation does not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility or, if there is a significant effect, includes the necessary mitigation of that effect. One option to remove the trip cap will be adoption of the TSP. While Envision Eugene plans for the city's housing and employment needs over the next 20 years, the updated TSP will address Eugene's transportation needs to support the projected housing and employment. That update will include the street and intersection level analysis needed to address the TPR, including identification of any mitigation needed. In the event that the property owner wants to develop before the TSP is adopted, a second option will be identified in the ordinance allowing the trip cap to be removed/modified if a traffic analysis is completed through a land use application process to determine whether, without the trip cap or with a modified trip cap, any existing or planned transportation facilities will be significantly affected by the designation change and, if effected, the needed mitigation. In response to a specific Planning Commission comment, the findings will be revised to clarify the temporary intent of the trip cap (revisions underlined) for both Irving Rd/Eagles and Willamette St/Rest‐ Haven as follows:  The city proposes to temporarily cap the allowed number of trips generated from the subject property at the existing allowed trip generation rate of... (pages 13 and 15)  This analysis and, if necessary, adoption of mitigation measures, would occur as part of the City’s update to its Transportation System Plan (TSP) or could occur through a separate process. (pages 14 and 15) 6. Transportation System Plan Update & Timeline The city’s long‐range transportation system plan (TransPlan) is currently being updated. The project started in 2010 and is anticipated for local adoption by the end of 2014. It is anticipated that the Envision Eugene land use diagram (including whatever designation changes are adopted as part of this Residential Re‐designation package) will be analyzed in mid‐ 2014. 7 PC Agenda - Page 12 7. Fire, Life, Safety Considerations Planning Commission asked if fire, life, and safety concerns had been part of the considerations in exploring this site for re‐designation to LDR. Any site within the UGB is served by either city or county police and fire, depending on if it is annexed. Currently, the site is not annexed. However, the intent is for future housing on the site. Prior to subdivision, the site will be required to annex into the city limits. Both the annexation application as well as any future subdivision is referred to the Eugene Fire Marshal’s Office to ensure that the specific development proposal includes adequate emergency provisions. 8. Status of Park Discussions Planning Commission asked what the status is of the potential acquisition of a portion of this site for a city park. Parks and Open Space staff are still in discussions with the property owner with the intent of being able to secure a park site at this location. The discussions have been around a park of 2 acres or less and the details are still being worked out. 8 PC Agenda - Page 13
