She indicated that the commissions' recommendation on the matter would be forwarded <br />to the Lane Board of County Commissioners and the Eugene City Council. The property in question was <br />currently designated for Campus Light Industrial and was proposed to be redesigned Medium-Density <br />Residential (MDR). <br /> <br />Mr. Nystrom said the property was not annexed to the City but was inside the urban growth boundary, <br />requiring action by both jurisdictions. There was no rezoning being proposed at this time. <br /> <br />Mr. Dignam raised the issue of whether the Lane County Planning Commission would need to take action <br />on the refinement plan amendment. Mr. Howe did not think it inappropriate.for the commission to do so <br />and suggested that the commission err on the side of caution. <br /> <br />Mr. Lawless asked if staff recalled a similar plan amendment from C-I to R-2 (MDR). Mr. Nystrom said <br />no. <br /> <br />Mr. Carmichael questioned whether the Lane. County Planning Commission was sufficiently knowledge- <br />able about the refinement plan policies to make a decision about the amendment. Mr. Nystrom said that <br />given there was no need for text amendments, it could be argued that the refinement plan would be <br />automatically amended by. the Metro Plan amendment. He acknowledged that the commission might be <br />uneasy about acting on the refinement plan. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Ms. Arkin, Mr. Nystrom briefly described the City's refinement planning <br />process. <br /> <br />The study session adjourned at 5:50 p.m. <br /> <br />October 24, 2006 <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
