Many expressed concerns about the city’s zoning and growth boundary ordinances and the effects of urban density on some of Eugene’s older neighbor hoods. The City Council took first steps to update the code in 1994 and subsequently overhauled the additions in 1998 and 1999. Some of the policies in the up date included redefining zoning requirements for residential and commercial areas and encourag ing growth within the urban growth boundary. The new changes to the code will take effect on January 1, 2001. However, some Eugene res idents and business owners said during testimony to the council that the proposed changes would hurt their neighborhoods and make it difficult to develop new businesses in certain areas. Paul Vaughn, a West Eugene resident, said that the changes are moving away from the idea of nodal development around the campus area. Nodal develop ment, a major piece of the city’s Land Use Code, encourages de velopment in specific neighbor hoods to create an infrastructure that would reduce the amount of automobile use and foster a stronger sense of community. “With construction of a busi ness plaza in the campus area, people won’t get in their cars and drive away,” Vaughn said. Connie Berglund, a Eugene res ident, stressed that every neigh borhood has different needs and rates of growth and worried that the new changes would allow de velopers to put up student-orient ed housing in older neighbor hoods and destroy their character. “The neighborhoods are be coming ghettoized,” she said. “Would you want to live next to one of these structures, with 50 college students coming and go ing and having all their friends over? “Don’t turn our neighborhood into a human sardine can,” she said. Business owners voiced con cerns about zoning changes that would make it difficult to devel op properties in residential zones. Dan Montgomery, a Eu gene property developer, recount ed how he had tried to build an apartment complex in urban Eu gene but soon ran afoul of land use codes. “In order to meet land use code standards, multi-family housing is mostly limited to suburban ar eas and bumps up against the ur ban services boundary,” he said. “I couldn’t come close to com pleting the project under the cur rent standards.” Tom Slocum, another develop er, said that commercial proper ties with residential housing at tached to them fall under residential restrictions in the new changes, and he called this stan dard unfair. “Residential structures in com mercial zones should fall under commercial restrictions, not the other way around,” he said. Slocum also said that in order to { ( The neigborhoods are becoming ghettoized. Would you want to live next to one of those struc tures, with 50 college stu dents coming and going and having all their friends over? Connie Bergiund Eugene resident rent out ancillary housing above or next to a commercial structure, he would have to charge abnor mally high rents just to cover the costs of construction in such a sit uation. Eugene Water and Electric Board even got into the act by pushing for continued research into providing solar power to new homes. EWEB Commission er Dorothy Andersen said that if the council keeps its current com mitments to solar power, $37 mil lion could be saved over the 50 year life of homes built writh solar power sources. “EWEB is committed to sus tainable and alternative energy sources and urges you to keep the current provisions in the city code,” she said.
