.' . e Council Bill 4327 was read the second time by number only. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all coun- cilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance 19796). V. PUBLIC HEARING: INDUSTRIAL LAND REPLACEMENT METROPOLITAN AREA GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (MA 89-3) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Gary Chenkin, Planning and Development Department, gave the staff report. He noted that the council began discussing short-term partial solutions to the loss of industrial land in the west Eugene area in January 1989. The council has already redesignated two sites to light-medium industrial to offset the loss of in- dustrial lands due to wetlands. He noted that redesignation of this site, north of Chad Street, was postponed at the owner's request. The owner is now ready to proceed. This redesignation is incompliance with the draft ~i1lakenzie Area Plan. Responding t~ a .question from Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Chenkin said that the Eugene Planning Commission originally advised that land redesignation should take place within the context of the Industrial Lands Study. Because the council was not willing to wait for the completed Industrial Lands Study, the commis- e sion agreed to proceed in this manner as an interim solution. Ms. Childs added that staff hopes that the elected officials will be in a position to take action on the Industrial Lands Study in January 1992. Mayor~~i11er opened the public hearing. - Jim Saul, PO Box 1650, representing Breeden Brothers, testified in favor of the ordinance. He said that the property owners support land redesignation and support the amendment. He noted that further review of several issues in the draft Industrial Lands Study recently discussed at the Planning Commis- sion level do not affect this property. There being no additional requests to speak, the public hearing was closed.
