e Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion carrying 4:2; with councilors Bennett, Bascom, Holmer, and Rutan voting aye; and councilors Boles and Ehrman voting nay, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance 19698). City Attorney Bill Gary explained that lacking six affirmative votes (a two-thirds majority of the council), the emergency clause was not valid, and the ordinance would not become effective for 30 days. Because the moratorium is in effect only until July 30, Mr. Gary said that the legislation was moot. Mr. Boles asked for a report on the conditions for processing of applications for building permits during the moratorium. IV. PUBLIC HEARING: INDUSTRIAL LANDS REPLACEMENT STUDY City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Gary Chenkin, Planning and Development Department, reported that the scheduled hearing was to allow the public an opportunity to comment on possible initiation of Metropolitan Plan diagram amendments at one or more of three locations within the urban growth boundary. Councilor Bennett opened the public hearing. Jim Saul, PO Box 1650, spoke as the representative of Breeden Brothers, the e owner of approximately 52 acres of the 80 acres identified as Site 2 (north of Chad Street). Mr. Saul said that the proposed change was not initiated by Breeden Brothers, and planned development of the property had been delayed as a result of the agreement to include that site as one of the locations for industrial land replacement. If the council decides to consider redesignation of the site, Mr. Saul asked that the process move ahead to avoid loss of another construction season. Answering questions from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Saul said that approximately 25 acres of the Breeden-owned property at this location was designated for medium-density residential development while the remainder was designated for low-density residential. Portions of the property with both designations would be converted to Special Light Industrial under the proposed amendment. A number of single-family units, multi-family units, and row houses are included in the planned residential development. Judith C. Van, 89205 Old Coburg Road, identified herself as a resident of the area identified as Site 2. She questioned the inclusion of the area east of Old Coburg Road and reported that residents are concerned that they are not being represented in the process. Ms. Van requested additional study of transportation needs in the area and delay of any redesignation to Special Light Industrial on the east side of Old Coburg Road. There being no further requests to speak, the public hearing was closed. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 25, 1990 Page 3
