. --- - - - - . -- -_.,-~ .._- Mr. Haws left the meeting. ~ Policy 8b: Ms. Smith suggested changing the words central business district to "downtown." Ms. Miller's suggestion was incorporated, making the policy read, "location of basic grocery stores in the downtown area should be encouraged to complement the housing to be located there." Policy 9: Ms. Miller's modification was incorporated, making the policy read, "The City should encourage new and existing businesses which would use the talents and efforts of existing residents as we seek to diversify our employment base. We need not take steps deliberately to attract more residents here; our efforts to preserve the livability of the area will continue to act as a magnet to people seeking a better environment." Po 1 icy 11: It was Council consensus to incorporate Ms. Miller's sugges- tion, changing the word IIshallll to "should." Policy 12: Ms. Miller, in her memo, proposed that a sentence be added to policy 12 as follows. IIEugene should establish a schedule of continuous reports to the Planning Commission and City Council aimed at providing public officials with information and recommendations for actions directed at continuous gro\~h management efforts. These reports should include identification of any legislation and administrative procedures which have been adopted which affect the concerns set forth in this chapter.1I Manager suggested changing the word "Eugenell to IIStaff." Ms. Miller also said in her memo that one policy in the existing Community (e Goals document, Policy 8, has been omitted entirely from the proposed growth management provision. She suggests the following wording: liThe City should support and encourage State and County efforts to preserve good farm lands through development controls, taxation, and other incen- tives.1I Policy 12b(l): Mr. Lieuallen reminded staff that he wants some discussion on the relationship between land value and the urban service boundary. Proposals Proposal 4: Ms. Miller, in her memo, suggested that 4a be renumbered 4 so that proposal 4 would read: Incentives should be explored to encourage development at the full density for which the land is zoned, with sensi- tivity to preventing or minimizing disruption to existing neighborhoods. However, see chapter 8 . II She then suggested that the present start . . . of proposal 4 reading "in the core area" and then the geographic descrip- tion, be placed immediately before what is now numbered 4-a-l, reading: "In the core area, since parking requirements are often a limiting factor, reduction of parking requirements where demonstrably justified should be allowed," and again, '~in the core area," the geographic description, "urban renewal procedures should be modified to allow the agency to assist in assembling land parcels," and so on. - .e ~ 53b 9/26/79--6
