Manager reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations (see committee minutes June 7, '1972 - Planning Commission report May 22/23, 1972). Councilman Mohr said he would like to speak to the issue of difference between the language of the resolution, particularly integration of the plaza concept, and that of the Planning Commission recommendation. Manager said it is assumed that in accepting the Commission's qualifications, the resolution, upon adoption, would be so modified. He suggested, in order to clarify the action, that the Commission's stipulations could be made an attach- ment to the resolution when it has been adopted. ~ Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to adopt Resolution 2064. -7 Otto Poticha, 1820 Kona Street, commented on the lack of public notice or opportunity for publi c hearing and discussion of the Design Plan, especially in view of its size - covering approximately nine square blocks. With regard to the language of the resolution, Mr. Poticha noted it does not include the Planning Commission recommendations, and that although the first part is very general, the second part spe~ifically commits the City to the plaza concept as the design of the plan. He said the design plan clearly indicates four square blocks for clustering of buildings for the various agencies so one would assume that building of the plaza and allocation of open space implies that it is the nine-block area rather than the four-blo,ck area. Mr., Poticha noted the Planning Commission recom- mendations indicated the plan does not fit the 1990 Plan. He said the number of proposed parking stalls does not show leadership in helping to generate and promote mass transit facilities. He further questioned whether a plaza is desired in view of the open space required. Dan Herbert, 4450 Hilyard Street, said the statement in the Civic Center Design Plan with regard to transportation is in direct contradiction of many findings and objectives of the transportation section of the 1990 Plan. He said the Transit District has adopted a set of goals directed toward taking care of people who are wihtout, and do not have access to, auto transportation system. Also, to begin activities directed toward induc- ~ ing people to use public transporration. He presented Council members with copies of - proposed amendment to the resolution which would require environmental impact study on the general concept and traffic provisions, and any future development of the Plan must include specific provisions for alternatives. He feels his amendment will give a more posi ti ve and affirmative stance on the issue. He added that the words "transporta- tion facilities" should be used whenever reference is made to parking or off-street parking. 111
