Councilman Williams stated his conviction that rezoning this property in opposition to staff and Planning Commission recommendation established before the people of ORegon the impossi- bility of the concept of a legislative body operating as a judicial body. He noted the Council's instruction at the last Council meeting for staff to prepare a list of rea~pns to support rezoning the property counteractive to staff's own recommendations, a list which the Council itself had not even asked to hear. Councilman Murray sympathized with Mr. Williams' feeling. However, he said, Council discus- sion on the issue did set forth reasons for allowing the zone change,. He reminded other Council members that part of the Fasano regulation placed the "burden of proof" with the 'applicant. He felt the "burden of change" in this'instance was not significant, and he thought the majority of the Council voting to rezone the property also 'felt it'was not a significant change. Vote was taken on the motion for, approval and final passage of C.B.469. Motion defeated, Councilmen Keller, Murray, and Wood voting aye; Councilmen Williams, Beal~: and Campbell, and Mayor Anderson'voting no; Councilman Hershner abstaining.
