LUBA Remand: Laurel Ridge Zone Change (Z 15-5) <br />Scope of the Remand Hearing <br />Based on LUBA's remand, the record will be re-opened to accept evidence related to the question <br />of whether the applicant's proposed zoning boundary between Low Density Residential and <br />Parks and Open Space is consistent with the Metro Plan. In other words, the record will be <br />limited, so only information or evidence related to the boundary location will be considered by <br />the Hearings Official. The record before LUBA included information regarding several referents <br />(a portion of East 30th Avenue and the City limits line). The applicant relied on only one referent. <br />To the extent the parties were under the mistaken belief, prior to LUBA's decision, that they <br />could not rely on multiple referents, it is appropriate to re-open the record to allow the parties <br />and other interested individuals to present evidence based on other reliable referents that were <br />not provided in the initial proceedings. <br />Following the Hearings Official's decision on remand, the application may be appealed to the <br />Eugene Planning Commission. For remand proceedings, the 120-day local decision deadline <br />begins at the time the applicant commences the process. The applicant's representative, Bill <br />Kloos, commenced this remand process on August 8, 2016, which makes December 6, 2016 the <br />deadline for a final local decision. Staff also notes that per State statute, this deadline cannot be <br />extended. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Vicinity Map <br />Attachment B: LUBA Final Opinion and Order, dated March 11, 2016 <br />Attachment C: Sheet 9/2/15-04 (as referenced in LUBA's Final Order), reduced version <br />Attachment D: Exhibit L (as referenced in LUBA's Final Order), reduced version <br />City of Eugene • 99 W. 10th Ave. • Eugene, OR 97401 • 541-682-5481 • 541-682-5572 Fax <br />www.eugene-or.gov/planning <br />HO Agenda - Page 11 <br />
