c. Clarify that "Bars and Taverns," "Retail Trade Directly Related to Manufacturing," and "Churches, Synagogues, and Temples" are subject to the 5,000-square-foot limitation in C-1. The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. Commercial and Industrial Density/Appearance--Policy Item Motions Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. Meisner, to direct the City Manager to amend Section 9.2170(17)(d) such that large commercial facilities can have no off- street parking between a building front facade and the primary adjacent street. Also amend the applicability of this standard to have it apply only to new buildings or completely rebuilt projects. Mr. Rayor indicated support for the motion because it identified a primary street. He said the approach was not possible on corner lots. The motion passed, 5:1; Mr. Pap~ voting no. Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. Meisner, moved to direct the City Manager to examine the vision clearance requirements of Section 9.6780, and to reduce the requirement if safety can be maintained. Mr. Kelly said that the motion was a result of the examples provided by staff. He said he did not presume to be a safety expert, but wanted staff to look at the issue in more depth. Mr. Rayor indicated he would vote against the motion because the standards in question were engineering standards and probably could not legally be changed. Mr. Kelly said that the motion was prompted by a drive by the Heron Building, which would have had to have moved back seven feet from the corner under the new standards; he thought there was plenty of vision clearance and wanted another look at the issue. The motion passed, 5:1; Mr. Rayor voting no. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Jim Johnson City Manager (Recorded by KimberlyYoung) MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 25, 2000 Page 12 Work Session
