e e e F. The study area for the tax increment district [shall] may include the Central Eugene Project area, and other additional areas the Study Committee finds appropriate under ORS 457.010(1). The amendment was accepted by the maker and the seconder of the motion. Ms. Wooten said the original wording seemed appropriate, but Mayor Obie said the change did not seem to be substantive. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. Mayor Obie adjourned the meeting of the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency and reconvened the meeting of the Eugene City Council. VI. METROPOLITAN PLAN DIAGRAM AMENDMENT 8-15, NORTH GATEWAY COMMERCIAL (memo, map, background information distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Teresa 8ishow of the Planning Department gave the staff report. She said the Metro Plan Diagram Amendment 8-15 (Cockerline property) is a request to change 7.6 acres in the North Gateway Special Light Industrial Site to a commercial designation. She said the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) decided to let each juris- diction take action on the amendment request and the Springfield City Council tentatively denied the request. The Lane County Board of Commissioners has taken no action on the request. Answering questions from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Bishow said the pUblic hearing on the proposed amendment was closed on December 3, 1986; consequently, the applicant has not submitted additional material. She said the Springfield City Council vote was 3:2. She said the original request was for 28 acres. It was then reduced to 4.6 acres when a trucking firm indicated it would locate on the property. The applicant later increased the area to 7.6 acres. Ms. Schue said she will vote to deny the request. She spoke with a Springfield councilor who voted to deny the request. She said requests for changes for less than five acres can be submitted as zone change requests, and the Springfield city councilors will consider a zone change for the Cockerline property. She said a zone change would give the City of Springfield more control over development which should be planned to accommodate the part of the Special Light Industrial Site which is in the flood plain. She added that a plan amendment would require justification of the need for additional commercial property. MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 19, 1986 Page 5
