# e e e . D. Land Use Diagram Jody Miller explained that the diagram in the draft plan had designated Mixed Use areas, but that the Planning Commission had attempted to eliminate use of the term "Mixed Use" because of public concern and misundertanding. She said that in past discussion the council had indicated it wished to reinstate the Mixed Use designation in the diagram, strengthening the text to emphasize that this designation was not a rezoning. She said that another alternative would be to designate the mixed use areas "Commercial and Housing" or "Commercial with Housing." After some discussion, councilors agreed to use the "Commercial and Housing" designation. Councilors agreed with the suggestion made by Councilor Miller that the Intro- duction, particularly the third paragraph, be revised to conform with decisions made by the council in adopting the plan. V. GENERAL COMMENTS Mr. Lindberg asked that reference to implementation of the woonerf concept be stated in a positive way to indicate that the woonerf will be used to create an incentive for automobiles to use arterial streets, but that it is not intended to prevent access to the woonerf area streets. He wanted to make certain that the woonerf concept was not confused with street diverters or barricades. Councilors agreed that this should be done. Jody Miller suggested that this could be done in a marginal note accompanying the woonerf policies. Councilor Obie asked that the Planning staff obtain written statements from the six clinics located in the residentially zoned area south of 13th Avenue, on the land under their development control as of December 1, 1981, that they desire to use for future clinic expansion. Councilor Hamel and Mayor Keller agreed that this was a good idea. Mr. Obie suggested that staff put together a draft of the plan, containing the revisions agreed to by the council and that a public hearing be held on the revisions. Ms. Decker said that the revisions would be incorporated into the plan in legislative format in time for council consideration prior to the April 14th meeting at which the council would be taking action on the plan. Jody Miller said that a public hearing is scheduled for April 14 on the R-3/ R-4 code amendments, the most controversial issue in the plan. Mr. Lindberg said he believed that the council had reached consensus on the plan. He felt that if there were to be a public hearing, testimony should be permitted only on the revisions, since there had been adequate opportunity for comment on the plan itself. VI. IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES Ms. Miller said that coordination between the institutions, the City, and the neighborhoods, which had been listed as an implementation priority, was already MINUTES--Eugene City Council Work Session on West University Plan 3/17/82 Page 5
