<br />1\ <br />I <br />,j <br />'j <br />J <br />.j <br /> <br />the Lane ,County Planning Commission, the definition of that policy be <br />expanded' to include commercial development in addition to industrial <br />development. His interpretation of this position is that the Cities could <br />annex land without having sewers extended; i.e., the North Gateway <br />site in Springfield -- part of that site might be used for commercial use. <br />It could be annexed; the commercial use could have interim services until <br />Springfield had the ability to extend sewers. <br /> <br />Scott Lieuallen stated that at this point that could not happen, except <br />with respect to those policies. <br /> <br />The Board went on to item 14 - support of Springfield Council's decision <br />on the Pierce property and approved it. <br /> <br />At this point, Mayor Keller adjourned the meeting at 11 :07 P.M. for five <br />minutes. The meeting reopened at 11:12 P.M. <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />The discussion continued on item 13. Scott Lieuallen Mat~d that his <br />understanding of the item was that it would apply to commercially zoned <br />property or to commercial activities that were associated with the kind of <br />industrial uses that originally precipitated the proposal. Further, that <br />this policy is associa~ed with sites, not necessarily with uses. Emphasis <br />is on areas that have been annexed due to the need for industrially <br />zoned land, which cannot be sewered immediately and which have <br />commercial activities as well. <br /> <br />I' <br /> <br />, <br />,: <br />t. .~ <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Jim Farah <br /> <br />Does this continue to apply to the industrial <br />land, specifically special light industrial sites, <br />that might occur in conjunction with commercial <br />activities? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Scott Lieuallen <br /> <br />That is my understanding. <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Jim Farah <br /> <br />Is it correct to say that this is different than <br />applying this kind of approach to a particular <br />property designated specifically for commercial <br />use? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Scott Lieuallen <br /> <br />That IS the Board's understanding. . The Board <br />is not trying to create a device whereby all <br />commercial land either within or adjacent to the <br />urban growth boundary can escape the need for <br />sewers and annexation. <br /> <br />Q: <br /> <br />Gus Keller <br /> <br />Mr Farah, do you understand our position on <br />th is issue? <br /> <br />A: <br /> <br />Jim Farah <br /> <br />If I understand correctly, this amendment is <br />intended to include the concept that beside the <br />industrial activities occurring on industrial <br />land, the same idea of interim services applies <br />to any kind of commercial activity that might <br />also occur in conjunction with the special light <br />industrial site. <br /> <br />,;: <br />, <br />il <br />i <br />r <br /> <br />IV-A-16 <br /> <br />r <br />
