Councilor Bettman commented that if the nodal development overlay were approved by the council and the subdivision application was dropped for whatever reason, then the site could move forward as a node. In response to a question from Councilor Pap~ regarding whether the site would need a Metro Plan amendment if a hospital were to be developed there, Mr. Nystrom indicated that would be the case. In response to a question from Councilor Pap~ regarding whether any portion of the site had been part of the "Kelly Litigation" from the previous year, Mr. Nystrom said that the 22 acres of city- owned parcels on the south side of Royal Avenue were part of the settlement in that case.

She said the three ordinances were the final set on the Fall 2002 Land Use Code amendments. She said the criteria to approve changes to the land use code included a determination that the amendments were consistent with Statewide planning goals and with applicable portions of the Metropolitan Area General Plan and with local adopted refinement plans. She said the staff report contained draft findings of consistency for ordinances 4 and 5. She noted that Ordinance 6 did not need to comply with those specific criteria because they were not part of the land use code but were rather amending Chapter 2 of the Eugene Code. Ms. Bishow said the agenda packet included testimony received up to that evening. She noted that she had placed a letter before the council from Debra Brewer, Eugene Water & Electric Board, requesting that the council continue to address concerns with how public facilities were treated in the Land Use Code and also recommended that the council allow for ongoing amendments to the Eugene code due to the number of new provisions that had not yet been applied. Regarding testimony already received by the council, Ms. Bishow called attention to a letter from VVally Gresl of the Bethel School District requesting speedy action on Ordinance 4. She requested direction on whether council action should be scheduled for the February 24 meeting or continue with the current schedule with action in mid-March. Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. He urged the speakers to be as concise as possible. MINUTES-Eugene City Council February 10, 2003 Page 9 Regular Meeting
