<br />"
<br />,I In answer to Dr. Purdy, the City Attorney said the purpose of the amendment was to correct ambiguities
<br />in the original ordinance. The amendment allows uses allowable in the parent zone, but they are :
<br />all subject to review and control by the Planning Commission under PUD principles and programs. i
<br />The public is adequately protected if this ordinance is adopted, because of the process in the PUD :,
<br />program. :'

<br />Councilman Mohr explained that the Planned Unit Development process is part of the zoning ordinance ~l
<br />and that nothing is permitted by this process in itself.:
<br />
<br />In answer to Councilman Teague, Mrs. Niven said this amendment was proposed in good faith. Since
<br />the Planning Commission was challenged, .it had to make sure that there was no ambiguity in the
<br />Ordinance, and if there was, it should be corrected.
<br />
<br />Council Bill N.o .,' 9"30_1..(,- Amend Zoning Ordinance Article 18, was given final passage. For formal , a

<br />III. Resolution, Application for 1500 Units Low Rent Housing - December 9, 1970* ,;
<br />:i
<br />I
<br />Mrs. Betty Niven, chairman of the Joint Hous~ng Committee, explained meetings
<br />she and Mayor Anderson had recently attended with Lane County Housing Authority, and
<br />:: that some misunderstanding had arisen regarding the Department of Housing and Urban I
<br />jj Development instructions. At.a recent meeting Mr. Sam Lesher, Portland housing office, ,I
<br />'. explained what was required by HUD, and what requests .andrecorrunendations could be'
<br />il gi ven by the City Council to the Housing Authori ty. Mrs. Niven distributed copies
<br />I: of two Resolutions, and explained them to the Council. She said they should be read
<br />ii as soon as possible, since HUD could soon recei ve financing for addi tional uni ts,
<br />:i if Congress passes new legislation. It was at their direction that the request was
<br />I: for 1500 units, rather than the previously requested 744. It has been found consider- :;
<br />ably simpler to cut down on requested uni ts than to add them. ;1
<br />ii
<br />Mrs. Niven asked to emphasize that there is no direct or implied criticism of the ,;
<br />Pri vate sector, and that they have been doing everything. they can wi thin the limi ts,
<br />"
<br />I of federal government regulations. I

<br />I: Councilman Mohr was concerned about the stated policy regarding elderly housing. Mrs.
<br />" Niven agreed with Mr. Mohr that some elderly persons preferred not to live in con-
<br />gregate housing, but if this is the type housing the Authority prefers to build, the
<br />other needs may be filled in by the private sector.
<br />
<br />Mr. McDonald was concerned that too ,11, ttTe had been done nation-wide to solve the problems
<br />of the elderly. He had just returned from a conference on elderly in Wasbi~gton, D. C.
<br />and it appeared that not enough had been done.
<br />
<br />I Mrs. Niven suggested that the Council could address a telegram to President Nixon
<br />!i concerning housing for the elderly. I
<br />
<br />,: Mr. Harley Lassen, 4462 Hawthorne, read a letter from the Home Builder's Association
<br />stating that the Home Builders agreed that there was a critical need for housing for those -
<br />of limited incomes, and supporting the Council action to obtain dwelling units. They
<br />opposed existing policies and discriminatory actions of Lane County Housing Authority.
<br />
<br />Mr. Lassen read a Resolution in which the Home Builders Association set forth guidelines to
<br />the Housing Authority, and outlined reasons for an increase in privately-owned housing. 4It
<br />
<br />The City Manager pointed out that the second Resolution proposed by the Council is directed
<br />to the Housing Authority and speaks to these problems. The City has no authority over the ';
<br />Housing Authority and can only make recommendations and indicate City Council desires.
<br />
<br />" Mrs. Mary Briscoe, President, League of Women Voters, read a statement in support of the
<br />I proposed resolutions, and asked to emphasize that the request was only intended to meet
<br />the housing goals !hrough 1972. She felt approval of these resolutions was an essential
<br />step in meeting the city's housing needs.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Niven asked to correct the minutes of the committee meeting, and said the appropriation
<br />she had spoken of might be passed within the next two weeks, and that funds would then be
<br />available. She also corrected the suggested wording of correspondence to be directed to
<br />President Nixon. ,:

<br />application for 1500 units of low rent housing and Resolution No. .1883, an advisory Reso-
<br />, lution to Lane County Housing Authority, were submitted and read in full, and upon motion,
<br />" duly adopted. For formal action, see page 16 of these minutes. -

<br />IV. Decision concerning animals at Skinner's Butte Park - December 9, 1970 :i
<br />
<br />Since park facilities for animal exl1ibi ts are minimal, staff has.inquired.into .possibil-
<br />bi~ities for disposition of the animals. The State Game COnmllssion has a site which
<br />would offer some protection to animals while they became accustomed to their natural ~
