Referring to the minutes of the September 19 work session, Councilor Bettman offered the following: In the first sentence of the third paragraph on page 3, she asked that the term "universal build" be changed to "MetroNet"; on the same page in the fifth line of the fourth paragraph, she asked that the word "public" be placed in front of the word "utilities"; on page six in the fourth paragraph, she suggested that the word "without" be replaced with "did not"; on the same page in the fifth paragraph, she said that the word "without" should be replaced by "within geographic areas." Moving on to the minutes of the September 24 work session, Councilor Bettman suggested the following changes: on page 5, paragraph 5, noted that she had been referring to the Community Involved Policing Action Plan rather than the Capital Improvement Program; on page 11 in the third paragraph, she noted that "emotion" should read "emotional." Roll call vote; the motion, with the minutes as amended, passed unanimously. III.PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLE ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Land Use Regulations; Amending Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971, Adopting a Severability Clause, and Providing an Immediate Effective Date Teresa Bishow of the Planning and Development Department said that the item before the council was the first set of minor code amendments to amend the land use code adopted earlier in the year. She noted that the proposed amendments were minor in scope and did not raise policy issues previously acted upon. She went on to say that the amendments clarified code provisions, improved the distinction between what standards applied to existing buildings versus new development, and reduced the requirement for professional services in certain areas. She cited the requirement for a certified Landscape Architect to prepare landscape-related plans. She noted that the testimony before the Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions, as well as that submitted later than Wednesday of the previous week, had been documented and was included in the council packet. Ms. Bishow submitted three additional items into the record: 1. A letter from Ken Nagao, addressing State law on landscape architects in Oregon. 2. A letter from Bill Kloos requesting written notice, under ORS 197.615, of adoption of any ordinance amending the Land Use Code Update (LUCU).
