~ . tk. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that findings supporting e the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and mi nutes of November 20, 1 9 78, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Mr. Lieuallen expressed concern regarding wildlife in the area and the question of site review. He felt it important Council consider rezoning separately from any proposed development. He felt site review would give more control for whatever project developed on the property. Mr. Saul said site review would be predicated solely upon the nature of the property on the south side, and concerned preserving the value of the natural habitat. Evidence was limited to what is in the Planning Commission minutes. He said research had been done following the Planning Commission hearing, and it was noted that as part of the update of the General Plan, an inventory of wildlife areas in the Metropolitan Area would be done. Protection for the special areas would be recommmended. Mr. Saul noted this particular piece of property was not included in that list. He said, thus, it seemed no particular purpose would served to attach site review. Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Ro 11 ca 11 vote. Motion carried unani- e mously and the bill was numbered 18312. II. ORDINANCES FOR SECOND READING Manager said a request had been received for testimony before Council on Council Bill 1800 regarding assessments on South Shasta Loop (contract 77-52) . He noted the parties involved had been legally notified of the Panel Hearing December 4, but did not respond and request a hearing before the Panel at that time. It would be necessary for Council, by a two-thirds vote, to authorize further discussion of the matter at this time. Don Allen, Public Works Director, said at this point staff was not sure what the issue was. Betty Smith, a member of the Hearings Panel, said the Panel had not met December 4, because there were no requests for testimony. People were notified and chose not to attend to present their objections. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to open public testimony on Council Bill 1800 for 10 minutes. e 12/11/78--5 "0
