the applicant, modifying the request to reduce the area to be designated com- e mercial on the north side of West 11th Avenue. Mike Yea er, 1065 Hi h Street, Eu ene, representing Pacific First Federal aV1ngs an , spo e 1n support 0 t e request. He said the bank and seven or eight other land owners in the area were asking that Eugene City Council Resolution No. 3885 be implemented, to allow mixed commercial and industrial activities under certain circumstances. He reviewed the report and supple- mental letter submitted to the record and said the revised request was to redesignate the area, containing 73 percent developed buildings and three vacant acres, Community Commercial, so that the same treatment could be applied for on the north and south sides of West 11th Avenue. Mr. Yeager said he believed three of the four criteria under Resolution No. 3885 to eventually allow for C-4 zoning could be met. He said approval of the request would allow private landowners in the area to apply for C-4 zoning or to maintain the existing 1-2 industrial zoning. He added that it would not erode the industrial land supply because C-4 zoning allowed 1-2 uses. Mr. Yeager said surroundings on the south side of the area included an auto parts store, a tire store, a bank, and a restaurant, all of which were allowed in C-4 (1-2 does not allow restaurants.), and some vacant land designated commercial. He said the north side included two restaurants, a cabinet shop, a veterinary clinic, and storage warehouses. He said the restaurants and vet clinic were non-conforming uses, and flexibility of use was hampered. Mr. Yeager said the bank had received some indications of interest in the restaurant sites and was subsidizing one restaurant. He said C-4 zoning would allow the buildings to be put to higher intensity uses, adding that there did not appear to be any e market there for 1-2 uses. He said the buildings and utilities already existed and should be used. No further testimony was offered, and Ms. Larson closed the public hearing on item B-3. Index No. 8-4 North Delta (Banfield) Commercial Mr. Gordon presented the staff report. Ms. Larson opened the public hearing on diagram amendment B-4. No testimony was offered. Ms. Ehrman asked how long action would be postponed if officials accepted thef recommendations to re-evaluate the item as part of the Commercial Lands Study. Mr. Gordon said staff had recommended to MAPAC and MPC that the study begin in fall 1986, at the final stages of the Growth Alternative Study. He said the study should be completed in the spring of 1987 and the plan amendments could be considered immediately as part of the plan update. Mr. Hansen stated that he thought a conflict of interest could develop later, therefore he would abstain from voting and discussion on item 8-4. Ms. Larson closed the public hearing on item B-4. e MINUTES--Joint Public Hearing--Metro Plan Amendments December 3, 1985 Page 8
