I definitive written guideline for amendment to the General Plan. The suggested procedure is that which has been followed informallYI he said, and it has been suggested to Lane County and Springfield for adoption to provide uniformity in General Plan amendments. Mr. Saul said the procedure would provide a method . whereby local jurisdictions could consider and adopt amendments without necessarily having other jurisdictions consider them if they are of no concern to them. It would also provide a mechani~rn for resolution of conflict if anyone jurisdiction should disagree with a propO$ed amendment (involves appeal to LCOG and further to LCDC). He added that Lane r~unty indicated there was consensus between the Com- missioners and the County pl\lnning commission. However, they suggest that MAPAC should have authority to apP\~al an amendment agreed upon by all three jurisdictions. Mr. Saul said staff saw no Plfoblem with including that provision.

Jim Saul, planner, explained that the zone change was initiated primarily to allow expansion of offices for the structural engineering firm. The building was constructed prior to 1968 when offices were permitted in M-3 zones, he said. They are not now permitted in M-3 zones, however they are allowed in M-l zones, and the change would allow the expansion desired.

Public hearing was held with no testimony presented other than James Balzhiser, member of the structural engineering firm petitioning the change, offering to answer questions. 11/10/75 - 2 5,7.7.
