e Jim Saul, 44 Club Road, Eugene, said he is representing the owners of the property. He stated that since the council had the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the written materials he would simply respond to any questions from the members of the council. He said that the property owners had hoped for an emergency clause on the rezoning because one of the leasors of the property on the corner of 11th Avenue and Conger Street had ~ready entered into certain binding arrangements for the redevelopment of that property. He sa i d that this person has been waiting since the application was filed in June in order to proceed with the redevelopment and the delay has created some personal hardship. He said that without the six councilors necessary, the council could not take action on the emergency clause, but he did encourage the council to approve the rezoning as submitted and recommended by the Planning Commission. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Lindberg asked if it would be procedurally better to delay one week and then have a vote which would include the emergency clause. Mr. Saul responded tha t it would be helpful, but since it cannot be predicted if six councilors will be present, he felt that it would be better to have the council vote on the item at thi s time. Mr. Gleason suggested that the council approve the item at this meeting and then the council could vote on the emergency clause at the next meeting. He st res sed that the councilors present would also have to be present at the next meeting along with one councilor who had studied the material and had listened to the tapes of the discussion so that the council would be ready to vote on the e emergency clause. Mr. Hansen asked if Mr. Saul would be willing to wait another week. Ms. Smi th restated the suggestion that the council could vote on the rezoning tonight and then consider the emergency clause at the meeting on September 21, 1983. Mr. Hansen again stressed his concern on having all five of the councilors present at the next meeting. Mr. Gleason clarified that six councilors who are well-advised on the rezoning application must be in attendance to vote on the request. CB 2680--An ordinance authorizing rezoning from 1-2 Light-Medium Industrial District to C-2 Community Commercial District for property located on the north side of West 11th Avenue, extending from McKinley Street west past Conger Street. Mr. Lindberg moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, that findings sup- porting the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of August 2, 1983, be adopted by reference thereto; 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. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 5:0. Council Bill 2680 was read the second time by council bill number only. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 12, 1983 Page 8
