., IV - Resolutions Resolution No. 2440 - Amending 1990 General Plan - Goodpasture Island - was read - by number and title. Mr. Murray moved second by Mr. Williams to adopt the resolution. Manager read the resolution. Councilman Haws suggested not proceeding with the second step until a complete and thorough study of the area was made to determine just waht the needs would be. Councilman Williams agreed, saying he was really not satisfied that what should be done in that area was known. (He noted his intent to abstain from voting because of absence from the public hearing.) Councilman Bradley wanted to delay action a week or two so he could review the resolution before voting. Councilman Keller thought a decision had been made on the best available information and that the Council five years or so from now, if it was found the action needed correction, could change the designation accordingly. He said any "good" decision could be wrong and that he didn't think there would be any trouble changing it later if necessary. Councilman Murray said he knew of no instance where so much evidence had been accrued to indicate Goodpasture Island was not the appropriate place for further commercial use. He thought the Council should get on with amending the P~an as soon as possible to avoid further confusion. He pointed out that every scenario presented in the commercial study indicated residential use was appropriate. In addition, he cited compact urban growth form, cost of housing, fairly dense location near the city center, and the appropriateness of medium-density as opposed to lower or higher densities. Councilwoman Shirey was comfortable with the decision made and thought that if correction was needed, changes could be made in the future. -- Councilman Haws didn't think the action to be taken was incorrect, but he felt delay would give the Council opportunity to know if better action could be taken later, maybe a better designation than that chosen. He didn't know the type of residential development that would occur and didn't particularly favor the proposed designation. He thought extra time would make for a better decision. Councilman Keller found it difficult to believe, after the amount of time that had been spent on this issue, that an additional two weeks would make a difference. Councilman Murray asked consideration of the amount of time spent in applying the present designa- tion; not nearly so much, he said, as has been spent on reaching the decision on the pro- posed designation. Because of Councilman Williams' stated intent to abstain, with his consent Mr. Keller withdrew the motion to adopt the resolution. Mr. Keller moved second by Mrs. Beal to adopt Resolution 2440. Mr. Bradley moved second by Mr. Haws to table Resolution 2440 until the September 22, 1975 Council meeting.
