. e -- Council Bill 2816 was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion carried 7:1, Councilors Wooten, Hansen, Holmer, Rutan, Bascom, Ehrman, and Miller voting aye and Councilor Schue voting nay, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19318). Ms. Wooten said it was appropriate for the council to secure its relationship with LTD in efforts to resolve the problems east of Willamette Street on 10th Avenue. She said transportation planning is important to the community. Mr. Hansen said the community is committed to a mass transit program. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to instruct the staff to work with LTD and report to the council on working agreements after monitoring and evaluating the changes caused by the opening of Willamette Street. Ms. Ehrman would support the motion, but she did not think it would address the concerns of LTD or LCC. The motion did not have "teeth." Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. Ms. Wooten asked Mr. Gleason to present information to the council as quickly as possible about how LTD, LCC, and the City will work together, how the problems will be evaluated, and how the problems will be solved. Mr. Gleason said the task force will evaluate possible grants and funding and report to the council. Mr. Hansen hoped the staff will indicate the effects of the Willamette Street opening on the LTD and LCC program. Ms. Wooten recessed the meeting at 9 p.m. She reconvened the meeting at 9:05 p.m. B. 1-1 Special Industrial District Revisions (CA 85-2) (memo, background information distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Jim Farah of the Planning Department presented the staff report. He said the 1-1 Special Industrial District was adopted in 1982 in response to the Special Light Industrial Designations in the Metropolitan Area General Plan. After adoption of the 1-1 zoning district, about 700 acres of land was annexed and zoned 1-1. The council directed the staff to review the 1-1 district about two years after its adoption. The proposed revisions resulted from discussions with the BATeam, representatives of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, and the Metropolitan Public/Private Partnership. Mr. Farah said the council had received a letter from 1000 Friends of Oregon which recommended adoption of the revisions with one change. The change was in Section 9.443(f) of the ordinance and suggested the words "Regional MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 1985 Page 8
