He noted the original City Council motion <br />was more broadly stated, thus the entire Area 15 was notified of the proposal. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Lawless, Ms. Harding understood that if the ordinance\vas aUo\ved.to sunset~ <br />the areas north and south of the channel/West Fourteenth Avenue would revert to "their current <br />density designation, as intended by the City CounciL <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter suggested the Planning Comnlission clearly stated their intent in their reCotnnlendation <br />to the City Council on the plan amendments. <br /> <br />In response to Mr. Duncan, Ms. Hardingc.onfirmed that if the ordinance was allowed to sunset, it <br />would sunset back to the plan lang~a~e in place today. She.added the intent of the sunset clause <br />appeared to be to incorporate nevvly developed infiU developments standards that could be in <br />place by the time the sunset occurred~ She added that staffwould\vorkwith theCit)rAttorney to <br />ensure that inconsistent language in the current ordinance \vaselinlinated in the ne'\v ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Yeiter asserted the intent was that tbe maps and text '\vould revert if the language was not <br />clarified prior to the ordinance sun setting. <br /> <br />Mr. Belcher said another issue was \\tnere the sunset clause was imbedded in the land use code. <br />He expresse.d fr~stration in the past that refinement plans Vlere frequently modified by,the <br />Planning Commission and City Council as part of land, use decisions when' individuals applied for <br />a zoning change, '\vithout taking the issues ba~k to the neighborhood associations.
