care and day care, and certain utility uses. C-2, Community Commercial zoning would permit the full range of commercial uses including adult bookstores, which are protected as any other retailers under the state constitution. C-2 would also allow the full range of neighborhood commercial uses. These uses would be the same as those allowed on the C-2 zoned property within the node. In regard to the question about how a neighborhood would need a motel, in consideration of "public need" under Policy #5 of the Laurel Hill Plan, the findings look both internally to the needs of the neighborhood and outwardly to needs of others who might be able to access the site from the interstate highway or other areas outside the neighborhood. Has analysis been conducted on the future of this interchange in light of proposals for new interchanges at Interstate 5? Contrast the access control circumstances to other areas along (1- 5, such as at Wilsonville. 14/hen is Brackenfern scheduled to be improved? The extent of access control which ODOT has expanded at the Judkins Point (Glenwood) interchange is very similar to that at other interchanges with recent new development such as at Wilsonville or Hood River. However, the significant difference between those interchanges and this one is that the businesses subject to the new access limitations or relocations were already in existence and not able to select another site. The commercial land at the Judkins Point interchange is vacant. The 1999 Oregon Highway Plan requires control of access at or near interchange ramp terminals. Through the development of East Ridge, ODOT has re-defined the southbound ramp terminal to now be the intersection of Glenwood Blvd./Glenwood Drive/Moon Mountain Road/Brackenfern. The City has not yet performed any official analysis of the future of this interchange in relationship to other interchanges on I-5. However, given the recent initiation of a study for a full interchange at Franklin Blvd., and comparing with interchange spacing in the Oregon Highway Plan, a possible outcome of constructing new ramps at Franklin Blvd. might be the requirement for the removal of all ramps at Glenwood with Glenwood Blvd. becoming an overpass only over I-5. The City anticipates the improvement of Brackenfern Drive to be initiated as early as summer 2005 or as late as spring/summer of 2006. Provide background on the use of the refinement plan amendment provisions in the code. What is the procedure to amend the Laurel Hill Plan, taking into account all the property? A process has been established within the land use code for amending refinement plans and that process provides for changes to specific sites on refinement plan land use maps. Based on the discussion at the public hearing, it was also suggested that refinement plan amendment requests are an aberration. Over the last 10 years, the City has processed 11 site-specific refinement plan amendments. The applications have included relatively small sites such as the Whiteaker Fire Station and the former library site, as well as larger parcels such as Arlie's Crescent Village.
