Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Wood to adopt Item 1 but not include the elderly at this point in time. - Mrs. Niven commented that there would be only about 130 in the elderly group and they seem to be far worse off; they are hanging on by their teeth. .

'~- - -,-._~- --- .. - ~.. . _. ~ . - M.~Planning Study on_Commercial Zones - Mayor Anderson repeated his thinking that consideration.-:of ~,the Valley River/Montgomery Ward rezoning issue was based on a General Plan contiti'ning ambiguities and contradictions which made judgments diffi- cult and often led to subjective rather than Objective evaluation. As a resul t of Comm concerns with regard to development of .the total area - downtown and the Good- 10/24/73 pasture Island area - the Council did call for a study of commercial uses in the Affirm (area north of Valley River Center. The Mayor felt broader implications and broader City responsibilities were involved and that any study undertaken on that area should be related to the entire region. He suggested that instructions to the Planning Commission for enlargement upon the study request, or at least an ex- planation of what would be a desirable result of that study, should include (1) a definitive statement on the relationship of Valley River to the downtown area, I recognizing the definite interrelationship between the two areaSI (2) statement. of timing of development in the two areas; and (3) a request that both the Com- . mission and Lane County make no further major zoning decision in the Goodpasture Island area until the study is completed. Mayor Anderson emphasized the areawide significance of zoning decisions, that it is not a "Eugene only" concern. He also emphasized that his suggestions were not to b'e interpreted as "...after the horse'is out..." concern, since it was his fee1-' ing the Commission's decision on the Moran property and the COU~9i~-decision on Montgomery~'~rezoning were based on the 1990 Plan and perfectly in order. He asked that his suggestion be-given thought with the idea of discussion at the next CouncLl meeting. / , councJl:m;;;;' Williams said it came to his a ttention after the Ward:' s rezoning was I completed that there was substantial effort on the part of Springfield in the hope they would gain the Ward 's development if Eugene did not feel the Goodpas,tu~ Island area was an appropriate location. He wondered whether the community's ~ interest was best served if it is decided there should be no more development in ~. . the Goodpasture I~land area until' the Plan is revised and then that development I occurs at some other location. Mayor Ander90n replied that his suggestion was brought at this time only to give Council members an opportunity to givelt-somEl- thought before the next Council meeting at which time further refinements could , be made. ~. -5 ~ , Oouncilwoman Baal noted that the Plan itself is for the metropolitan area so the Council may want to'consider having planning staffs of Springfield and Lane County as well as Eugene work together on the study. Councilmen Murray and Campbell ex- pressed their support of the Mayor's suggestion. . It was understood an outline of such study, time frame for completion, etc., would be put together for discussion at the October 31 committee meeting. 11/5/73 - 10 . '?>3'1
