I have tried to inform City staff, the Planning <br />Commission, the City Attorney about the drastic changes that are proposed in this update. If the <br />Stormwater Ordinance amendments are adopted as currently proposed the ramifications to our currently <br />approved needed housing projects will be devastating. While I appreciate staff’s changes responding to our <br />concerns, those changes have improved the proposed amendment only slightly. But thus far the changes to <br />the proposed amendment have absolutely fallen short. <br />I want to be 100% clear that the City of Eugene is planning on changing course and not upholding their <br />current practices and policies. We have always been in agreement with the City that our planning <br />documents and approvals are legally binding documents between both parties. This action by the City is <br />now showing the development community that those planning decisions are no longer a binding <br />agreement with the city. Your own project approvals over the years have always proven that the City agrees <br />that these planning approvals are to be honored by the City at time of development. The building <br />community relies on the approved plans, and as currently proposed these code amendments would subject <br />infill development based on previously approved plans to be redesigned – at great cost and delay. <br />The following projects are examples of where the City agreed and approved structures based on the <br />original planning approvals even after adoption of new stormwater regulations were adopted by the City. <br />These lots were approved and developed fully based on their planning approvals: <br />2902, 2912, 2922, 2932, 2942, 2952, 2962, 2972, 2982, 2992, 3016, 3026, 3036, 3046, 3056, 3066, 3076, <br />3086 Lord Byron Place <br />3343 Wyndham Court, 3370 Wyndham Court, 3387 Amherst Way, 3382 Amherst Way <br />1346 Brickley, 1352 Brickley <br />515 Silver Meadows, 527 Silver Meadows, 541 Silver Meadows <br />CA 24-3 Testimony Batch 3
