Manager replied that the intent was not to discuss the issue itself, only how the recommendation happened to come from the Planning Commission. However, Stan Long, assistant city attorney, advised against any discussion on the matter at this time. At. the conclusion of other business, Councilman Williams commented on his question- ing the advisability pf discussing the Delta Highway rezoning. He said the legis- lative'subcommittee had established aS,a priority some legislative clarification of the Fasano regulations to avoid the lengthy and complicated procedures now in force. Manager noted a great deal of interest statewide in this particular problem. Jim Saul, planner, displayed slides showing vicini~y map, subject property, and surrounding area. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of December 17, 1974 were made a part of this record by reference thereto, No ex parte contacts or reasons for conflict of interest were declared by Council members. Mr. Saul explained that the Planning Commission initiated this zone change as the result of reluctant denial of request submitted by Mike Safley to rezone to RG about 6.3 acres in this area. That denial was appealed to the Council where it was tentatively upheld, pending preparation of negative findings. Subsequently, staff recommended they be given the opportunity to work with Mr. Safley to reach some overall solution for development of the property. Action was therefore postponed, and if the proposal now submitted is approved, Mr. Safley will with- draw the previous applica~ion. Mr. Saul described the properties involved - approximately 75 acres east of Delta Highway, north and south of Greenacres Road to north of Belt Line Road. He noted present zoning and uses of the properties and zoning proposed (see , planning commission staff notes and minutes December 17, 1974). He noted staff assumption in attempting to find a solution for development of the general area that the Eugene Sand & Gravel operation was permanent. Councilman Keller entered the meeting. So in considering the rezoning of this property and to mitigate the deleterious effects of that operation as well as proposed Lane County shops nearby, repre- sentatives of tho?e oreganizations were to work with the developer to establish operating standanS if the rezoning occurred. He said the Eugene Sand & Gravel would be subject to DEQ standards. Also, acoustical engineering reports indi- cated there were construction practices available for reduction of noise impact. 1/27/75 - 2 J6 e (0137) .
