Churchill Area Neighbors

Please Slow Down!

Are you wishing people would just slow down in the neighborhood? C.A.N. has created some yard signs just for you!

Yard signs are 12"x18" and come with a metal h-frame stake. One free sign per CAN household until we run out. For the most effective results we recommend putting the sign out for a few days at a time so it is more noticeable and less 'clutter'.

What’s going on in the Neighborhood?

Activities and announcements are listed in order of the calendar.

Public Comments Due

20-year low-income rental housing property tax-exemption. This is an important neighborhood issue. Public Comment Period Open until Tuesday December 23rd

Notice of Low-Income Rental Housing Property Tax Exemption Application

Below is the information as provided by the City. Please note this application is for an existing apartment complex within CAN boundaries that already offers low-income housing options. The complex is owned by a California corporation, so tax savings and rental revenue may be realized out of state and there is no indication that these savings would be passed onto our residents. CAN residents are encouraged to ask questions and provide comments prior to the deadline.

The application is for a property tax exemption for an existing 232 unit development in the Churchill Area neighborhood serving households earning less than 60 percent of the area median income.  

The applicant’s request will be reviewed under Eugene Code Section 2.939(3) for Low-income Rental Housing Property Tax Exemption—Review, Approval or Denial of Application. Comments must be received at the address below by 12/23/2025. 

Following the comment period, the City Manager will forward their recommendation to the City Council that the application be denied, approved, or approved subject to conditions. The recommendation shall be based upon and contain findings of compliance or non-compliance with adopted Standards and Guidelines for Processing Low-Income Rental Housing Property Tax Exemption Applications, Sections 2.937 to 2.940 of the Eugene Code, 1971, Council resolutions, ordinances and adopted policies, and applicable State statutes, that support the recommendation.
