they provided information on the long-term build-out of that parcel and the street system that would serve it. She noted that Councilor Kelly's amendment was not specific to that section. Roll call vote; the amendment passed, 8:0. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Nathanson, moved to amend the draft ordinance concerning Land Use Regulations as follows: 1. Page 106, amend EC 9.2741(1)(0 to read: In the areas described in (b) through (d) above, hospitals, clinics, or other medical facilities are permitted subject to an approved conditional use permit, and are not required to comply with the residential density requirements of Table 9.2750. 2. Page 106, amend EC 9.2741(1) to add a new subsection (g) to read: Except in the areas described in (b) through (d) above, hospitals, clinics, or other medical facilities are permitted, subject to an approved conditional use permit, if no more than 40 percent of the square footage of the land within the development site is used for medical facilities, and the remainder is dedicated to residential use in compliance with the density requirements of Table 9.2750. For purposes of this section, assisted living facilities, residential treatment centers, and nursing homes may be used to meet the density requirements at a ratio of 1.5 beds equals 1 dwelling. Mayor Torrey indicated that PeaceHealth had requested the clarification reflected in the first part of the amendment. Ms. Bishow said that PeaceHealth was concerned the draft ordinance could be misinterpreted by a reasonable person and requested the change to avoid future debate. Councilor Kelly was comfortable with the first section of the amendment as a clarification. However, the second section appeared to "water down" the residential density goals the council had been trying to accomplish in its original motion. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Meisner, moved to amend the amendment by dropping item 2 from the amendment. Mayor Torrey explained that PeaceHealth had argued that there were limited uses for its planned facilities at Goodpasture Island, and it believed assisted living was a residential use. PeaceHealth would like to see that interpretation codified. Mr. Farmer said the amendment attempted to suggest that whatever qualified as a person's permanent address for census purposes should meet the definition of residential purposes. If a place could be considered a person's permanent address, it should be added to the list of medical or quasi-medical facilities that could help meet residential density requirements. Councilor Bettman supported Councilor Kelly's amendment to the amendment. She said the council discussed the issue reflected in the motion at some length and agreed the densities allowed in the existing refinement plan would prevail.
