Property development
- A zoning application has been filed by BLACKHAWK LLC for a project on Chad Drive, west of Cumberland Drive, seeking minor adjustments to local zoning regulations. The proposal involves modifying two specific standards in the Eugene Code. The first adjustment targets the Frontage Minimum Lot Standards, likely indicating a change in the required lot frontage dimensions. The second adjustment pertains to the Parking Area Standards, specifically the Perimeter Parking Area Landscaping requirements, suggesting a request to alter the landscaping rules around the parking area perimeter, possibly to address design or space constraints. This application was officially filed on July 3. (view application)
Restaurant inspections
County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.
- Da Ra Cafe & Brew, Llc at 565 Country Club Rd, was cited for issues during a county health inspection on June 25. The restaurant received a score of 91 out of 100 during the inspection. Key issues included a handwashing sink blocked by a cart, which was corrected immediately by removing the obstruction and ensuring proper usage. Additionally, some containers of toxic materials were unlabeled, but they were labeled during the inspection. There were also improperly labeled packaged foods containing allergens, which were either removed from customer reach or labeled correctly. Lastly, a scoop was found in food without a handle, and it was required that all scoops have handles kept out of the food. (view report)
