Southeast corner of 29th Avenue and Willamette, Street, from RG to C-2 SR (A&W Root Beer)(Z 76-20) -, Recommended by Planning Commission July 26, 1976. The application was suhmitted for the purpose of providing additional area for remodeling of A & W. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Council members. Staff notes and minutes of July 26, 1976 were received as part of the record by reference thereto. PubUc hearing was held with no testimony presented. Mr. Haws didn't understand why the Planning Commission approved, as it wOuld extend commercial property south of the cutoff. Mr. Saul said the original recommendation was for denial and was predicated on the consideration that the Planning Commission and Council had drawn definitive boundary lines on further commercial zoning to the south. After listening to testimony on the matter, the Planning Commission felt it would maintain a division between residential e and commercial and would not lead to an erosion process. A & W remains a problem because of curb cuts and its proximity to the interchange itself. It was felt that by allowing expansion south- ,/ ward, curb cuts could be eliminated and moved farther to the south. It was felt the layout would be done in a better fashion that way. The Planning Commission felt it was satisfactory to meet the criteria of public need. r.lr. Bradley expressed concern that there would be major expansion. Mrs. Shirey felt it would not be adding new commercial development, but rather making something there better. Mr. I1a\oJs said there would be 110 control once it is rezoned. Manager said the traffic problem should be eased with the rezoning. Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by nrs. Beal, to table. Mr. Bradley said he would want staff to present more facts and figures at the next Committec-of-the-Whole meeting. City Attorney said that, in a quasi-judicial matter, a motion to table is troublesome. Technically, the Council would still be in deliberation. tvlr. Keller was frustrated by the lack of intent of the motiOIl, being opposed to procrastinating. Twenty-ninth and Willamette had been a problem for years, he said. e Mayor Anderson noted that, rather than tabling, if there is one vote in opposition on first reading, the matter would be automatically postponed for two weeks. There would be nothing to prohibit anyone to request staff to come back with additional information to help Lf42.. Minutes 9/13/76 -- 7
