Responding to a Question from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Childs said she was unaware of any other property owners in the same situation as Mr. Moorhead. . Responding to a Question from Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Moorhead said that Site 29 had been designated as residential land in 1976. Ms. Childs said that since that time, the property had been redesignated to industrial. Mr. Rust moved to initiate an amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan on behalf of the lane Board of County Com- missioners to redesignate Site 29 from industrial to low-den- sity residential. The motion died for lack of a second. Ms. Frazer asked staff why the plan amendment was considered major, rather than minor. Ms. Childs said that the amendment was considered a major amend- ment due to the size of the property and the proposed change in use. Mr. Boles expressed interest in knowing more about the history of the changes in designation on the property. Responding to a question from Mr. Cornacchia, Jacqlyn Mikalonis of lane Coun- ty discussed County staff resources available to process metropolitan issues. Ms. Childs indicated that Mr. Saul, representative for the applicant, had prepared much of the background information needed to process the request. Mr. Rust moved, seconded by Ms. Frazer, to initiate an amend- ment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan on behalf of the . lane Board of County Commissioners to redesignate Site 29 from industrial to low-density residential. Mr. Roberts expressed discomfort in voting for the motion due to a lack of information about the issue and ramifications of the decision. He encouraged the elected officials to make a commitment to address the issue. Mr. Roberts indicated he would support the motion if its failure meant that Mr. Moorhead would have to wait until January 1993 to initiate the plan amendment. . Mr. Cornacchia offered a friendly amendment to the motion, asking that it be modified to allow the applicant to initiate the plan amendment outside of the scheduled cycle at his own cost. Mr. Rust and Ms. Frazer accepted the amend- ment to the motion. The amended motion passed 4:1, Mr. Roberts voting no. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, to allow Mr. Moorhead to initiate a plan amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan outside the scheduled cycle for citizen-initiated amend- ments for the purpose of redesignating Site 29 from industrial to low-density residential. The motion passed unanimously, 5:0. MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials July 1, 1992 Page 6 .
