e get the properties rezoned. He suggested the City initiate a Metro Plan amendment because no refinement plan for the area has been completed. In that case, property owners would not have to pay a fee for the Metro Plan amendment. If the owners must initiate the plan amendment, he asked that they be charged only one fee for both the amendment and the rezoning. Mayor Obie said Mr. Iverson will have to work with the Planning staff to process his requests. Jim Gaderlund, 1937 Willamette, said he opposes the proposal for two-way vehicular traffic on Willamette Street from 13th to 20th avenues. He said a study of businesses on Willamette Street between 11th and 13th avenues was proposed to see if the busi nesses benefitted from the change to two-way traffic. He urged completion of the study. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Mr. Reinhard said the council will be asked to provide direction on the land use issues raised in the CATS. Consequently, the council will consider uses on Willamette Street between 23rd Avenue and 24th Place. Mr. McKinley said the Development Department staff has talked with business owners on Willamette Street between 11th and 13th avenues. The street has been open to two-way traffic only a short time, and business owners indicate that business has not changed. A study will be done in about a year. e Answering a question from Ms. Bascom and Ms. Ehrman, Mr. McKinley said recommendations in the CATS reinforce residential uses on Willamette Street between 19th Avenue and 24th Place. He said the Downtown Commission has not responded to the Planning Commission recommendation to maintain one-way traffic on Willamette Street between 13th and 20th avenues. Ms. Bascom said the Planning Commission recommendation indicated that the issue of two-way traffic on Willamette Street from 13th to 20th avenues may be reviewed periodically. She said the wording should be more precise. She suggested a review every two years. Ms. Schue agreed with Ms. Bascom's suggestion. Mayor Obie said he does not agree with Ms. Bascom's suggestion.
