Stewart SECONDED. VOTE: 4 -0. Ralston thought since Lane County was taking the lead on this, they should make a decision before anyone else. MOTION: to move to keep the record open for two more weeks to March 27 and have a work session on May 16. Pishoneri MOVED, Moore SECONDED. VOTE: 4 -0. Stewart stated that he had concerns about the additional layer and different land use laws that apply inside the Metro Boundary. He thought if at a minimum the land use laws were the same as what is allowed in the County, that Ms. Robinson would have been able to proceed. He indicated they are different now. He said the reason the Metro Boundary was there was the potential for growth in the future, but they were told because of the location of the piece of property, Springfield will not be able to justify moving in that direction. He commented that there are protections on the land to protect it from future growth from the city but there is no intent to move it out. He thought that needed to be dealt with. He said they need to bring the plan up to date to what the needs are today. 19
