She noted there were additional questions from Ms. Bettman and staff <br />responded to them in a memorandum dated October 21. She related that, based on careful review by the <br />City Attorney's office, staff had provided a revised ordinance on October 20 that was primarily intended to <br />clarify the original intent of the ordinance. She affirmed that the revised ordinance had been deemed <br />acceptable by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Public Works Department and Planning <br />Department staffs, and Arlie and Company. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey called on the council for comments. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly thanked all those involved for responding to the questions and for the changes in the ordinance. He <br />requested staff to craft language for an amendment that would add to Policy 15 in the ordinance language <br />directing that some percentage of the development would have two functional floors. <br /> <br />Ms. Bishow requested of the mayor that a majority of the council agree to suggested changes. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner recommended that the council engage in some discussion regarding Mr. Kelly's proposed <br />amendment. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon arrived. <br /> <br />Ms. Bishow estimated that design proposal for the Crescent Village planned unit development (PUD) <br />indicated at least 30 percent of the commercial development would be built with two functional floors. <br />Ms. Bettman thanked staff for prompt answers to her questions. She alleged that the trip caps were %n <br />paper only; "the functional number affecting vehicle trips would be the 329,000 square feet of commercial <br />office space. She asked what distinguished this ordinance and made the proposed a node, rather than <br />another development in line with current development practices. <br /> <br /> <br />
