MINUTES <br /> <br /> Eugene City Council <br /> Work Session <br /> McNutt Room, City Hall--Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br /> October 11, 2000 <br /> 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: Betty Taylor, Nancy Nathanson, Scott Meisner, Pat Fart, David <br /> Kelly, Gary Rayor, Gary Pap~, Bonny Bettman. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br />A. Items from Mayor, Council, and City Manager <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman passed. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor commended the report of the Parks Blocks Placemaking Committee and <br />recommended that the council hold a work session to discuss the report. The report had good <br />suggestions and she did not want to let it die from lack of action. Ms. Taylor wanted the council <br />to do something about the Farmers Market soon, which might possibly leave downtown. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor expressed concern about downtown zoning because of reports about the possible <br />construction of a tall building on Willamette Street. She called for an examination of zoning in <br />downtown soon so that the council could decide what type of construction it wanted in particular <br />locations, rather than just allowing development to happen. Ms. Taylor thought the council <br />should adopt pads of the Land Use Code Update that seemed urgent and delay action on other <br />pads, saying there was nothing magic about the current deadline for adoption. She thought <br />action on downtown zoning issues was urgent as she did not believe that residents wanted <br />downtown to all be office space. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly requested a progress report on the right-of-way enforcement pilot. He said that it would <br />be useful for the council to have a staff contact name for the pilot. <br /> <br />Regarding the report of the Parks Block Placemaking Committee, Mr. Kelly said that staff was <br />developing an action plan for each of the recommendations in the report and he would notify the <br />council when that work was completed. <br /> <br />Responding to Ms. Taylor's remarks about the construction of large buildings, Mr. Kelly said in <br />this case the proposed structure was to be a four- to five-story building, which he did not <br />consider large. Although he did not want to see the entire downtown developed as offices, he <br />preferred to have significant office space downtown rather than scattered throughout the <br />community. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ said that during the summer he and Ms. Taylor had attended sister city dinners for <br />delegations from Kakegawa, Japan, and Chinju, South Korea, and he had learned that <br />Kakegawa was building a new library that would be dedicated in June 2001 and had invited <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 11, 2000 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
