Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to amend the motion to delete the wording regarding major transportation corridors ~ (page 15, No.1). .., Manager said that would be amending Section 1 of the resolution, and could read lIexcept for item 1 relating to major now arterial developmentll. Vote was taken on the motion to amend, which was defeated with Williams, Hamel, and Obie voting aye; Delay, Bradley, Lieuallen, and Smith voting no. Mr. Porter said a review of the refinement plan by the City Attorney's office suggested a possible problem with a statement on the Land-Use Diagram requiring application of site review procedures to properties within certain specified areas. Since the Land-Use Diagram will be adopted as a refinement of the 1990 General Plan Diagram, the present wording would commit the Planning Commission and City Council to applying the SR suffix to all effected properties before holding hearings on the actual zone change. The situation would either render the required hearing a mere procedural formality or would require an amendment to the refinement plan if the Council wished to make excep- tions as a result of the hearing process. It was suggested retaining the reference to SR on the diagram by adding the wording as follows: IIAreas where SR procedures wi 11 be considered for new development at densities exceeding the medium-density range,1I and lIareas where SR procedures will be considered for all new developmentll. He also suggested that Council place as first priority the establishment pf ~ SR on the East Skinner's Butte area above other priorities. In response to a procedural question from Mr. Delay, Mayor Keller said the Council would adopt the Whiteaker Refinement Plan as amended this evening and would consider a refined resolution at a later meeti ng. Mr. Obie said he would regretfully have to vote against the motion because it does not deal with the historical issue as presented by testimony this evening, but merely deals with the density issue which mayor may not resolve the issue of historical buildings (relating to the East Skinner's Butte area). Furthermore, he was concerned abput the time frame for Historic Review Board consideration of the area. Mr. Delay wondered if Council should include the words lithe plan will be subject to further refinement based on considerations taken by Historic Review Board". He wondered if Council should note the plan would be subject to further review of the historical designation. Mr. Porter felt that would be a good record of intent of Council. He also noted Council could order the change of priorities of Planning staff and so indicate which it prefers Planning staff to deal with as its highest priority. - 5/8/78--12 331
