M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL - October 12, 1977 Adjourned meeting from October 10, 1977, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller at 11:30 a.m. on October 12, 1977, at the King's Table, Oakway Mall, with the following Council members present: Eric Haws, O. W. Hamel, Ray Bradley, Jack Delay, Scott Lieuallen, Brian Obie, and Betty Smith. Councilor Tom Williams was absent. I. Items from Mayor and Council A.

The committee will select its own chairperson. D. Joint Planning Commission-Council meeting--Manager reported, as a result of action taken by Council October 10 regarding the mixed- use zoning, the amended version was to be referred back to the Planning Commission. A suggested meeting date for a joint meeting was Tuesday evening, November 1, the regular Planning Commission meeting. Manager said Council could make arrangements to have a dinner meeting prior to that meeting for the selection of the Civic Center architect and thus eliminate the Wednesday noon, November 2 meeting. Mr. Haws wondered how long the Planning Commission meeting would last. Jim Saul, Planner, said it would be very difficult to tell, as there may be many people who wish to speak. He said time limits could be established, but there would be perhaps 30 to 40 people who had previously testified and others may appear. He also noted it depended on the nature of Council's direction, as it indicated at its October 10 meeting that other properties might be discussed. Mr. Haws wondered if it might be proper for Council and Planning Commission to start over and consider R-4 zoning again. He al so was not convinced that the meeting should focus on just the two properties noted, but he wished to perhaps look at a block-by-block or lot-by-lot proposal of why properties were zoned in a particular e way, and wondered if that were possible. 10/12/77 --1 113
