e Ms. Childs said either the council itself or a separate committee would be needed to review implementation of the RTF recommendations. She said a re- view committee could consist of two councilors, two members of the Planning Commission, and two members of the Downtown Commission. In response to a question from Mr. Robinette, Mr. Boles said Part 4 of the RTF recommendations was intended as a concept which would apply to all parts of the city within the UGB. He said the point of this section was to ensure the densest possible development of the downtown area, but that this necessi- tated a review of the entire area within the UGB because a great deal of development was occurring outside the downtown area. He said the downtown area in this context included the Urban Renewal District and the DDD. In response to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Ms. Childs said the Planning Commission would address all aspects of Part 4 except those considered more appropriate for another study to consider. Mr. Boles added that the council would make the final decision about whether the recommendations were imple- mented, but the specifics of the recommendations would be handled by the commission. Mr. Boles suggested that assessment and taxation methods should be studied by the Planning Commission. He said it was not appropriate to ask staff alone to work on this subject while citizen groups studied the rest of the RTF recommendations. e Mr. Boles asked if the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) would review guiding principles for transportation. Mr. Reinhard said this would probably occur to some extent. Mr. Boles said he liked the idea of a cross-jurisdictional body to review Part 4 of the RTF recommendations. In response to a question from Mayor Miller, Mr. Boles said he felt taxation should be reviewed separately from the Eugene Decisions process. Ms. Ehrman asked how the recommendations of the CLS Task Force could be in- corporated into the already-published CLS document. Ms. Childs said the CLS could include an addendum or be revised. In response to a question from Mr. Boles, Ken Tollenaar, president of the Planning Commission, said Part 4 recommendations would be reviewed by the CLS Task Force, CATS, and the Planning Commission. He said all recommendations would be reviewed by the commission at the end of the summer. Mayor Miller asked how the Part 4 review would affect Eugene Decisions. Mr. Gleason said the review would not have an adverse effect on Eugene Decisions if it were carried out in conjunction with other work plans. In response to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Farkas said those taxing mecha- nisms which were feasible to address the goals of the RTF could be studied. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 10, 1991 Page 5
