The Eugene City Council on Oct. 13 adopted a resolution approving a 20‑year low‑income rental housing property tax exemption for the Parkrun Apartments, a four‑story project at 170 South Garden Way containing 158 income‑restricted units.

Assistant City Manager presented staff findings that the project meets LRPD eligibility criteria and recommended adoption of the attached resolution. Council President moved to adopt the resolution as Attachment B to the application information summary; the motion was seconded and the council president recorded the vote as passing "by a vote of 7 2 0 with Councilor Leach absent." (The meeting record states that tally; the transcript does not provide a clear, standard yes/no breakdown beyond the phrasing used by the clerk during the roll call.)

Staff said the Parkrun development would serve households at or below income thresholds referenced in LRPD criteria. The assistant city manager described the project as newly constructed, four stories tall, and containing 158 income‑restricted units serving households at or below the specified area median income percentages in the LRPD application; the staff memo attached to the agenda packet provides the full eligibility documentation.

The council also approved Consent Calendar 1, which included approval of city council minutes, the tentative agenda, interim civilian review board appointees, and a University of Oregon land agreement regarding a community benefit project connected to the Cuthbert Center (the agreement includes ADA parking and concrete pads, relocation of the box office and fence modifications to increase usable space). The consent calendar motion passed during the meeting after the council president moved to approve the listed items and the clerk announced the motion passed with a vote recorded as 7 2 0.

No council discussion was recorded on the LRPD resolution beyond the staff presentation and motion to adopt. Staff said they were available for questions but none were posed during the roll call. The assistant city manager concluded that the project meets the required LRPD eligibility criteria.

The resolution takes effect according to the usual administrative schedule for property tax exemptions; the staff packet includes the draft resolution and eligibility findings. Council did not specify additional conditions on the exemption in the meeting record.

Other non‑agenda public comments at the meeting touched on land‑use and public‑health code amendments related to hazardous industries, neighborhood gate/razer wire appeals on Goodpasture Island, and a separate update on a VA behavioral health clinic parcel and land sale reported by a developer, but those remarks were part of public comment rather than council action.
