Eugene residents express
land concerns to council
■ Business owners and
neighborhood dwellers told
the City Council the land use
codes are going astray
By Josh Ryneal
Oregon Daily Emerald
Eugene residents had their
chance Wednesday night to air
their concerns about proposed
changes to the city’s land use
code at a public hearing attended
by all of Eugene’s city councilors,
Lane County commissioners and
Mayor Jim Torrey.
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?

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.
