e CB 2243--An ordinance authorizing rezoning from C-2/SR Community Commercial District with Site Review procedures to R-2 Limited Multiple- Family Residential District (Tax Lot 6100) and from M-2 Light lndustrial District to R-2 Limited Multiple-Family Residential District (Tax Lots 3700, 3800, 4001) for properties located north of Railroad Boulevard and west of Grand Street. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that findings supporting the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of November 4, 1980, 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 con- sidered at this time. Ms. Miller stated that the Whiteaker Refinement Plan was developed in the past with public input and the council has a commitment to implement it. Mr. Lindberg indicated agreement with Ms. Miller. He also stated that having children nearby with a school across the street would be inappropriate if this were industrially zoned. Mr. Obie indicated agreement. He stated that the property owners will probably feel frustrated, but it is difficult for the council to now change the direction of implementation. This should have been done earlier, in the refinement plan process. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. 4It Council Bill 2243 was read the second time by council bill number only.

Proposed Acquisition of EWEB Property (Gillespie Butte) for City Park Use (memo distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Ernie Drapela, Parks and Recreation. Mr. Drapela stated that the 1976 serial levy and 1979 park acquisition bond provide $150,000 for park land acquisition in the Cal Young area. This area has no public park at this time. On May 27, 1980, the Joint Parks Committee unanimously recommended acquisition of Gillespie Butte from EWEB at the acquired price which was $6,500 in 1952. Staff is recommending that council hear the citizens' testimony, refer the matter to EWEB for consideration, and express to EWEB an interest in having the park bond fund acquire the parcel so long as it does not exceed the $150,000 allocated for park land in the Willagillespie area. EWEB has authority to acquire, develop, and maintain parks. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1981 Page 3
