e Mr. MacDonald suggested that MPC negotiations consider additional buffering of the property, developer commitments regarding commercial zoning, and fur- ther study of issues surrounding the chemical plant located to the west of the site. Ms. Ehrman asked that MPC also discuss the school district's ability to meet the demands of additional capacity should the development be approved. Mayor Miller suggested that MPC discussions also consider additional buffer- ing from the chemical plant and explore whether additional moderate-income housing should be provided. Mr. Gleason said that all three jurisdictions should reevaluate the decision to simplify the Metro Plan amendment process by hearing site-specific plan amendments. The jurisdictions should consider the damage which is being done to the comprehensive nature of the plan in going through such a process. Responding to a question, Mr. Gleason said that before the process was re- vised, plan amendments were only entertained during specific update periods. A joint body reviewed the proposals and rejected those they did not support, providing a more extensive review process for proposals which were denied. Mr. MacDonald suggested that whenever a jurisdiction is co-applicant to a Metro Plan change, staff from that jurisdiction not be permitted to make the presentation. e Ms. Ehrman said that MPC has discussed the awkward nature of the Metro Plan amendment process. Some procedural changes have been suggested for joint elected officials meetings in the future, in particular it has been suggested that all bodies be present for the deliberation of the issue, even when they cannot take final action on an issue. Mr. Boles said that he hoped that MPC will return to the council with sugges- tions about how it can get back on track with respect to General Plan up- dates. VI. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE AND METHODOLOGY REGARDING SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGES City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. les lyle, Public Works De- partment, gave a brief staff presentation. He said that since the April 26 work session on Systems Developement Charges (SDCs), staff has conducted a public information session to receive feedback on the proposed ordinance. Approximately 10 persons attended the meeting. A document which outlines the methodology that will be used to calculate SDCs has been included in the agenda packet along with final modifications to the ordinance. Mr. Lyle said that language regarding equivalent street and storm sewer assessments has also been included to cover situations in which a developer wishes to build off-site improvements. In that case, the full cost of the improvements would be credited up to the full cost of the SDC. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 13, 1991 Page 7
