would allow adequate review to insure that clearly incompatible situations a would not be created for adjacent land uses. ~ Public hearing was opened. Larry Thorp, representing Valley State Bank, introduced himself, indicating he was available to respond to any questions by Council. Public hearing was closed, there being no further public testimony presented. Council Bill 1315-Amending Eugene City Code, Section 9.466 re: Permit banks as conditional use in M-2 zones was read by Council bill number and title only, there being no Council member present requesting that it be read in full. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel that Council Bill 1315 be read the second time by Council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote: Motion passed with all members present voting aye except Mr. Obie abstaining. Councilman Bradley indicated some concern over where the line should be drawn as to granting permits for commercial uses in industrial zoned areas. He felt there was a need for some kind of policy to be set to avoid a helter-skelter approach. Mr. S~ul indicated that Mr. Bradley was ~ correct in his concern and that there were other types of commercial ~ establishments for conditional uses in the industrial areas approved, such as convenience grocery stores, asphalt and batching companies, bottling companies, rock and sand companies, theaters or churches. He said the Council could consider the conditional uses on an overall basis or as they specifically come before the Council. He felt a review of the overall industrial district uses should be considered at some future date and questioned whether the Council should delay on some specific clear-cut case in favor of an overall review. Mr. Lieuallen wondered if this had been discussed at the Planning Commission and whether it was a precedent- setting issue that could create problems in the future. Mr. Jim Bernhard, Planning Commission, indicated this conditional use permit had been discussed at the Planning Commission meeting and the extent as to what types of commercial developments should be related to industrial areas. He said that under conditional use permits, this could be a logical use of the area and fel t that. there was no creation of probl ems because of the conditional use review. Mr. Bradley indicated his reason for opposition to the amendment centered around the lack of a coherent policy statement by Council as to the uses in industrial areas. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel that Council Bill 1315 be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote: All Council members present voting aye except Mr. Obie abstaining and Mr. Bradley voting no, the bill was declared passed and numbered 17826. e 1/24/77 - 10 Lib,
