. Q: Scott Lieu,allen A: Steve Gordon ~~ J ~J ,t u Could the staff respond to that? It is .my understanding that there is a definition for "available land" in the Plan. The Elected Officials Coordinating Committee gave the Metro Team direction to justifying the treatment of the industrial lands the Board is being asked to adopt tonight. In so doing, they requested the Metro Team to incorporate as much of the I ndustrial Study Task Force work, as possible, into the "Economic Addendum" working paper. In the "Economic Addendum," page 111-B-5, the two definitions of "availability" (arrived at by the Industrial Studies Task Force) were incorporated into the background of the decision the Board is being asked to make. Scott Lieuallen stated that the question before the Board was if it was the duty of the public jurisdictions to make their commitment to annex, zone, and service, at which point their liability would end, and the responsibility of the privat~ sector to "put a deal together." Further, if the problem was too small a parcel, it would be the obligation of the private sector for land assembling; and if the property was not for sale, it would be because the price had not been found. He declared that this was not a problem for the Board and the Commissioners should not become involved unless extraordinary circumstances warranted it. A: Q: Harold Rutherford Have we accepted one or two definitions? Steve Gordon All the allocations in the Metropolitan Plan based on the first definition, under assumption that it is the public role to plan zone the land properly and coordinate capital improvements. are the and the Mayor Keller avowed that the entire Plan is predicated on the first definition and that adopting the second definition would slowly change the nature of the Plan, with respect to industrial lands. It would, have tremendous implications for the growth boundary -- too much expansion too soon. Mayor Keller stated that they should reject language that would force them to go back to re-examine the issue of the urban growth boundary and the industrial land allocation, and keep the definition as it IS. Jerry Rust MOVED and Otto t'Hooft SECONDED adopting the Springfield position on the removal of the definition of "available land" as stated on page 111-W-2 of the December 15, 1981 testimony.
