ACTION: Selection of Community Advisory Team Members for Eugene Water and Electric <br />Board (EWEB) Riverfront Master Planning Process <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Councilor Pryor, seconded by Councilor Bettman, moved to appoint Mark John- <br />son to the EWEB Community Advisory Team. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman asked if it were possible for the City to require modification of a quasi-judicial decision <br />once the Advisory Team recommended a Master Plan and made an application to the City. <br /> <br />Ms. Jerome explained at some point, in order for the property to be developed according to the principles <br />listed, the applicant would be required to have the property rezoned and a Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan <br />Area General Plan (Metro Plan) amendment for the diagram. The diagram amendment would come before <br />the City Council, thus the council would have an opportunity to make a decision with respect to the <br />property. Whether or not the decision point was a package that included the zone change and the Master <br />Plan depended on how the applicant packaged the request. If it was packaged together, the City Council <br />would make the decision on the whole thing and the Master Plan would be evaluated according to the four <br />factors in the Downtown Plan policy. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman said when the council received a packaged request, it was an up or down vote and the <br />City Council did not have a chance to change the application once it was presented to the council. <br /> <br />Ms. Jerome responded in this case there was more discretion because the policy itself listed four criteria <br />that allowed more discretion than the council was usually allowed. The Master Plan had to be consistent <br />with the four principles. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman said criteria provided broad guidance to the Master Planning Committee and did not <br />give the City Council more flexibility. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 16, 2008 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
