A planning team was formed to work with City staff in develop- ing the refinement plan. Membership on the planning team included six representatives of the west University Neighborhood organiza- tion, and one representative each of downtown businesses, campus - area businesses, Sacred Heart Hospital., Northwest Christian College, the University of Oregon, and churches in the plan area. In March, 1977, the South University Neighborhood Association requested a refinement plan for their neighborhood. The Planning commission elected to add a portion of the South University Neigh- borhood Association area located between 18th and 20th Avenues and Agate and Patterson Streets to the West University Refinement Plan area because the issues were similar. A representative of the South University Neighborhood Association was added to the planning team at that time. In April, 1981, a draft West University Refinement Plan was mailed to all property owners and all addresses within the plan boundaries. The neighborhood associations held public hearings on the re- finement plan draft on April 13 and 15, 1981, On May 7, 1981, the West University Neighbors adopted the draft refinement plan with certain recommendations for modifications thereof, On May 20, 1981, the South University Neighborhood Association voted to not support the draft refinement plan.
