The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kelly moved, seconded by Mr. Meisner, to direct the City Manager to <br /> amend the code to prohibit "government services" and "religious services" on <br /> residentially zoned land that exceed 25,000 square feet of total structure <br /> area. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor did not support the motion, hoping to take more of a conditional use approach toward <br />government service uses similar to that used for religious services. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson feared that the motion would open the City up to federal legislation that would <br />supercede the City's zoning ordinances. Ms. Jerome indicated she would do further research <br />into the legislation. Ms. Nathanson said that generally cities pass such ordinances for purposes <br />of compatibility, and she was concerned that the action being considered by the council would be <br />used by those supporting church supersiting authority. She said that generally, such limits <br />resulted in proposals that were just under the maximum size, and asked staff to consider that. <br />Ms. Childs agreed that was always a possibility. Ms. Bishow concurred. <br /> <br />Mr. Fart suggested splitting the motion into two questions to address the two components of the <br />motion. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Meisner agreed to narrow the motion to government services. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey determined from staff that "government services" as listed in the draft code did not <br />include education. Ms. Bishow said that such uses as fire stations and libraries would be <br />regulated if the motion were passed. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ clarified that the motion would impact all residential zones. He further clarified that the <br />motion was specific to total square feet rather than building footprint. Ms. Bishow concurred, <br />adding the motion would also preclude expansion of existing government services operating a <br />structure with at least 25,000 square feet. <br /> <br /> The motion failed, 4:4; Mr. Meisner, Ms. Bettman, Ms. Taylor, Mr. Kelly voting <br /> yes, and Ms. Nathanson, Mr. Farr, Mr. Pap~, and Mr. Rayor voting no. Mayor <br /> Torrey broke the tie by voting in opposition to the motion for a 5:4 vote. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Jim Johnson <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by KimberlyYoung) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 18, 2000 Page 11 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
