Council changes
camping options
Car campers must now
obtain invitations or permits
to park in chu rch lots and
industrial areas
By Felicity Ayles
Oregon Daily Emerald
With the last day of Eugene’s
overnight camping ordinance
rapidly approaching, the Neigh
borhood Leaders Council is con
cerned about the future of
overnight car campers in the city.
Council members gathered
Sept. 22 for an update on Eu
gene’s new homeless camping or
dinance, beginning Oct. 1.
According to the original ordi
nance that began last November,
people could sleep in their vehi
cles in industrial areas or church
parking lots with permission.
This law was a result of Eugene
City Council committee discus
sions after an increasing number
of people began living in residen
tial streets, said Richie Weinman,
Eugene housing and develop
ment manager.
"The ordinance worked rather
well,” Weinman said. However,
he added, business owners in in
dustrial areas did not particular
ly like the approved car camping
locations.
“There were a lot of claims that
crime had increased, and the
people who worked there didn’t
feel safe,” Weinman said. The
number of vehicles in these areas
was usually as little as 30 or 40
but reached close to 80 at times,
he said.
The committee decided to
change the ordinance, then
joined the St. Vincent de Paul So
ciety of Eugene in hiring some
one to provide facilitation ser
vices for the new ordinance,
Weinman said.
Enter Mac McFadden, program
coordinator for the overnight
parking program through the St.
Vincent de Paul Society.
McFadden has spent six years
trying to find safe places for
homeless car campers. He helped
develop a contract with car
campers through St. Vincent de
Paul in accordance with the new
ordinance.
According to the new ordi
nance, car campers may park in
various Eugene specified parking
lots, provided they have the own
er’s permission and there are san
itation services available, McFad
den said.
The new and old ordinances
differ in that although campers
can still park in church parking
lots and industrial areas, they
must be invited or have a permit
to park. As long as campers
obey the site’s rules, they can
keep their invitation, McFadden
said.
Although the new ordinance
specifies camping areas, space is
still limited. Industrial areas can
only have as many as three vehi
cles, McFadden said. The city of
fered 15 sites for people to camp
overnight, but there are 75 units
on the street.
Weinman also attested to Eu
gene’s housing problem. “We
have more households in the city
than we have units, so we are
confronted with a homeless situ
ation,” he said.
In an agreement with public
safety, enforcement will be sole
ly based on complaints. McFad
den said he will respond to all
complaints, even if the only
thing he can do is just talk with
campers. Weinman, who is also
working with McFadden on the
overnight camping program,
said, “We don’t want a lot of bad
confrontation if we can avoid
it.”
With the law in place, McFad
den and Weinman said they will
continue to search for more Eu
gene areas available for vehicle
campers to stay overnight.
“Some people will be helped,”
McFadden said. “For the rest of
them, there’s nothing there.”
