WORK SESSION: Joint Meeting with the Eugene Planning Commission <br /> <br />The council was joined by Eugene Planning Commissioners Jon Belcher, Rick Duncan, John Lawless, <br />Randy Hledik, Phillip Carroll, and Phillip Hudspeth. Commissioner Mitzi Colbath was unable to attend <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Duncan convened the July 17 work session of the Eugene Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy stated she hoped the meeting would be an informal discussion and she did not plan to use the <br />timer. She received a request from the commissioners that they be able to respond to the councilor’s <br />comments. <br /> <br />Mr. Lawless arrived at 11:32 a.m. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor said this was a long-awaited opportunity to gain some clarity regarding the evolving <br />understanding about opportunity siting, mixed-use centers (MUC) and infill, and to provide some context <br />to the discussions councilors and commissioners had had individually. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor introduced Principle Planners Kurt Yeiter and Steve Nystrom, from the Planning and <br />Development Department. (PDD) <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter stated this was an opportunity for the Planning Commission and staff to receive direction from <br />the City Council on how to proceed with development of a work program. He said three topics, <br />Opportunity Siting, Infill Standards for Compatibility, and Population Allocations, had been outlined in the <br />Agenda Item Summary. He said commissioners Belcher, Duncan and Lawless had been designated by the <br />Planning Commission to facilitate the discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Duncan thanked the City Council for the opportunity to meet with them. He said the Planning <br />Commission had discovered the face-to-face meetings with councilors helped the commission understand <br />what the council expected of the commission. He thanked the council for the additional funding and <br />staffing allocated in the Fiscal Year 2007 budget that would help the commission accomplish some of the <br />important programs, issues and work plans it was undertaking. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council July 17, 2006 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br />
