decision, not a technical decision, but was committed to providing the council with data to inform its <br />decision. <br />TRG members Mr. Boles and Mr. Duncan then presented a housing mix comparison focused on what the <br />TRG considered the extremes of the range: 60:40 single - family /multi- family and 40:60 single - <br />family /multi- family. Mr. Boles asked the council to consider which end of the range was more <br />compatible with the Seven Pillars and reminded the council that because of the phased implementation <br />approach, it would have an opportunity to revisit its decision. <br />Ms. Gardner then briefly discussed the proposed phased implementation approach, saying it was meant to <br />address the uncertainty of the future and provide the City with flexibility and adaptability. She <br />anticipated staff would share more information about the proposed approach at a future meeting. <br />Mr. Clark endorsed the phased implementation approach, saying it allowed the City to see how the plan <br />worked in "real time." Speaking to housing mix, Mr. Clark recalled that the council received testimony <br />suggesting that the information provided by the consultant EcoNorthwest did not represent the range well. <br />He did not find that the underlying data provided much clarity on the range, and he requested more <br />information about the data and methodology used by EcoNorthwest. <br />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Brown, moved to direct the City Manager to initiate code <br />amendments related to infill compatibility standards, opportunity siting, and mixed use <br />development. <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to amend the motion to add the phrase "as <br />recommended by staff." <br />Mr. Poling suggested that at this time, staff knew more about the process and what the council needed to <br />see next. He was more comfortable initiating the process using staff's recommendations, pointing out <br />they could be changed by the council at a later time. <br />The amendment passed, 7:1; Ms. Taylor voting no. <br />The amended motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the work session at 1:26 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Qaj, �,-,t <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council May 25, 2011 Page 5 <br />Work Session <br />
