Mr. Lindberg stated that he would disagree with the argument which proposes that this center meets the needs of the expanded population. He feels that if it is e to draw from the central area, it should be located in the central Eugene area to better meet the needs. Ms. Miller indicated agreement with Mr. Haws. She feels more work should be done to rationalize the land use on West 11th. Some pieces of the area can still be saved. She will vote in favor of the proposal. Mr. Hamel stated that he favors this development. He hopes the employment picture and the general economic conditions will improve so that this develop- ment will be able to attract paying customers.

Sign District Boundary Change from Outlying Commercial Sign District to Highway Oriented Sign District for Property Located on the East and West Sides of Goodpasture Island Road north of Valley River Drive (Dunham/Eugene Dodge/Kendall) (SDBC 81-1) (map and background infor- mation distributed) Mr. Whitlow introduced Jim Croteau, Planning. Mr. Croteau stated that this request is for a sign district boundary change. The properties involved are three automobile dealerships on Goodpasture Island Road: Dunham Olds-Cadillac, Kendall Ford, and Eugene Dodge. In 1979, Kendall Ford and Dunham Olds-Cadillac were annexed to the city and in 1976, Eugene Dodge was annexed. At the time of annexation, in addition to applying City zoning, the properties became subject to the appropriate sign district. All three properties are designated Outlying Commercial Sign District. Other sign districts in the area are Outlying Commercial or Integrated Shopping District. North of the auto dealerships is a mobile home park and the Goodpasture Island gravel ponds. When the property is annexed, the City Sign Code gives five years in which all signing must conform to City sign standards. Eugene Dodge is nearing the end of their amortization period and Kendall Ford and Dunham Olds- Cadillac must amortize in 1984. The Planning Commission recommended denial of this request with a 5:1 vote. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council December 14, 1981 Page 8
