Coburg-Crescent site and the existing Hilyard campus site; 5) to direct the <br /> City Manager to initiate the appropriate land use processes necessary to <br /> apply the proposed medical services zone to the Coburg-Crescent site and <br /> the existing Hilyard campus site; and 6) to recommend a project to the <br /> Metropolitan Policy Committee to add the Coburg/Beltline interchange as a <br /> high priority to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) <br /> lists and/or new State transportation bonding program. The direction to the <br /> City Manager and the City's Metropolitan Policy Committee representatives is <br /> to aggressively seek the necessary financial assistance from the State and <br /> federal resources to fund Beltline Coburg Road improvements to <br /> accommodate land use plans for this area of our City. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. PapS, moved to amend the motion to separate the <br /> above items for discussion and action into three parts as follows: Item 3, <br /> followed by items 4 and 5, followed by Item 6. The motion passed 7:1, with <br /> Mr. Farr in opposition. <br /> <br />Discussion and Action on Item 3 <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman stated she would vote against this portion of the motion as the council did not have <br />the necessary analysis, it was circumventing the public process, and would not provide any <br />incentive to the hospital to further study the downtown options. She stressed that the project had <br />not been put forth, the impact was not known, and action was not necessary at this time. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to table the motion related to <br /> Item 3. The amendment failed 2:6, with Ms. Bettman and Ms. Taylor in <br /> favor. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor stated he did not support this portion of the motion in its current form. He said that <br />until a traffic impact analysis and staff recommendations were available, he could not support <br />land swaps. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor stated that if the this portion of the motion was approved, it would communicate to <br />PeaceHealth that it should go forward to build on the Coburg/Crescent site and therefore she <br />would oppose it. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey stated he supported the motion and pointed out that the land use update and <br />transportation processes would still need to be adhered to. He explained that the Coburg/Beltline <br />interchange would need to become a high priority on the STIP list if PeaceHealth requested to <br />build in that area and that the process should go forward. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Kelly, Mr. Johnson clarified that this portion of the motion <br />would only convey that all interested parties should discuss how the varying land uses would be <br />arrayed on the land and that if agreement was reached, the process for a Metro Plan amendment <br />and site review would still need to proceed. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap8 pointed out that it would be irresponsible for the City not to begin a study of the <br />Crescent/Coburg area as it was a potential site and complete information was necessary to <br />achieve the best facility for the community. <br /> <br />MINUTES- City Council Work Session August 8, 2001 <br /> <br /> <br />
