The application shall be approved if the vacation is found to be consistent with <br />all of the following criteria: <br />(1) Vacation of unimproved public easements shall be considered in accordance with <br />the Type I Application Procedures contained in EC 9.7000 through 9.7835 and the <br />approval criteria contained in EC 9.8715. In the case of public utility easements, <br />statements of concurrence with the vacation from affected utility providers must be <br />submitted with the application. <br />This request is for the vacation of an unimproved public right-of-way; therefore, this requirement <br />is not applicable. <br />(2) Vacation of improved public easements, unimproved public right-of-way, and <br />vacation and rededication of unimproved public rights-of-way, except improved <br />public easements and public right-of-way located within undeveloped subdivision or <br />partition plats, shall be considered in accordance with the Type II Application <br />Procedures contained in EC 9.7000 through 9.7835 and the approval criteria <br />contained in EC 9.8720. In the case of public utility easements, letters of concurrence <br />to the vacation from affected utility providers must be submitted with the application. <br />This request is for the vacation of an unimproved segment of the Mill Alley public right-of-way. <br />Mill Alley lies within an undeveloped portion of the original plat of Eugene City in accordance with <br />Type IV Application Procedures; therefore, this requirement is not applicable. <br />(3) Vacation of any public way acquired with public funds, vacation of improved public <br />right-of-way, and vacation of undeveloped subdivision and partition plats, or parts <br />thereof, including public right-of-way and improved public easements located <br />therein, shall be considered and decided upon by the city council in accordance with <br />the procedures contained in EC 9.7445 through 9.7455 and the approval criteria <br />contained in EC 9.8725. <br />This request is for the vacation of an unimproved segment of the Mill Alley public right-of-way. <br />Mill Alley was acquired with public funds; therefore, this requirement applies and is subject to the <br />procedures contained in EC 9.7445 through 9.7455 and the approval criteria contained in EC <br />9.8725. <br />(4) All applications shall be accompanied by the application fee established by the city <br />manager pursuant to Chapter 2 of this code, and an additional amount sufficient to <br />pay the expenses related to publication of the vacation notice. <br />The application fee established by the City Manager pursuant to Chapter 2 is not applicable to <br />the site. Per the City's land use application fee schedule dated July 1, 2019, "An applicant will not <br />be required to pay any of the fees set forth in this order (except the actual Lane County recording <br />fee) if the property for which the application is submitted is located within the boundaries of the <br />downtown area as depicted in the 2003 Eugene Downtown Plan." The site of the proposed <br />vacation is within the Downtown Plan boundary. Therefore, this application requirement is not <br />applicable. <br />Vacation of Mill Alley Criteria Statement Page 2 of 3 <br />
