. L Mr. French said that there had been good citizen input on planning teams for the . update and that planning team members had provided information on the update to the Active Bethel Citizens and Bethel Traingle neighborhood groups. He noted that both organizations had made positive recommendations to the Planning Commission in support of the update. ~Ir. French noted that three major issues had been raised at the Planning Commission hearing. He said that the first issue involved parks development in the area west of Highway 99 represented by the Active Bethel Citizens. He said that, in response to this concern, the Planning Commission had recommended inclusion in the plan of a request that parks development in this area be made a priority in the implementation of the Parks Master Plan Update. He said a second issue was concern among Bethel Triangle residents that there be sufficient opportunity for citizen input regarding future improvements planned for Roosevelt Boulevard between Garfield Street and Highway 99 North. Mr. French said that the third major issue brought before the Planning Commission involved Proposal 1-b on page 20 of the plan draft. He said that this proposal dealt with three parcels of land on the south side of Roosevelt Boulevard between Garfield and Cleveland streets and noted that two of these parcels contained a mix of residential and light industrial uses. He said that the suggestion in proposal 1-b was to rezone those parcels for residential use. Mr. French said that the Planning Commission had felt that light industrial uses were appropriate for the area and had therefore recommended deletion of that portion of the proposal. Mr. French noted that a correction needed to be made to the southwest portion of the land use map accompanying the plan. He referred to Exhibit B of distributed materials for the corrected map. ~w. French noted that the Planning Commission e had voted to recommend adoption of the plan with the corrections and revisions set forward in Exhibits A and B. Mr. Gleason noted that the council had previously held a work session and received information on the plan update. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by councilors. Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. Tony Mounts, 5167 Trevon, thanked the council for the staff time that had been devoted to preparation of the update and for the excellent job Mr. French had done of educating participants regarding the planning process. Mr. Mounts said that at the Planning Commission hearing the question had been raised of the adequacy of open space to be provided in and near the development node north of Barger Drive between Beltline Road and Highway 99 north. He supported the acquisition of more parkland in that area and the use of the planned unit development process as a means of providing open space. Mr. Mounts referred to the statement in the update that the open space surrounding Cascade School was not adequate to serve the development node in that area. Mr. Mounts recommended adoption of the plan, as amended by the Planning Commission. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 13, 1982 Page 4
