V. ORDINANCE CONCERNING AN AMENDMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN PLAN e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Gary Chenkin of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said the council tentatively approved the proposed amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan in July 1986. He said the amendment removes the Mi xed Use des i gnat i on west of Jefferson Street between 7th and 11th avenues on the Metro Pl an di agram because the Westside Plan indicates the area should be R-2 Limited Multiple- Family Residential.

ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE WESTSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN e City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Gary Chenkin of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said the council tentatively adopted the Westside Plan on July 28, 1986. CB 2941--An ordinance adopting the Westside Neighborhood Plan and repealing Resolution No. 2747. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Answering questions from Mr. Holmer about changes to Chapter 6 of the Westside Plan recommended by the Historic Review Board (HRB) (page B-7 of the staff notes), Mr. Chenkin said policies and implementation strategies encouraging preservation of significant cultural resources, unique features, and historic structures will not necessarily be in all other refinement plans. He said the Westside Neighborhood is older than some other neighborhoods and the changes recommended by the HRB seemed appropriate to the residents. He said the changes were included in the draft approved by the council in July 1986. Mr. Holmer said there are historic structures in every neighborhood and a policy to encourage their preservation should either be included in all refinement plans or in no plans. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 12, 1987 Page 4
