Mr. Brown, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to adopt the revised resolution as presented in the document in front of councilors, which approves a MUPTE for property located in th the vicinity of Olive Street and 13 Avenue. Mr. Brown distributed copies of a revised resolution and contrasted his proposed resolution to the resolution provided to the council in the meeting packet. Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Brown, moved to amend Section 1.6 of the resolution to add the following subsection: The MOU shall require compliance with the standards for construction noise and air quality, tenant noise, parking and apartment management as described in the May 8, 2012, letter from the Olive Plaza management and resident representative, except that the word “should” is replaced with the word “shall” for all standards. Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to table the motion. The motion passed, 5:3; Ms. Taylor, Mr. Zelenka, and Mr. Brown voting no. Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to address the alley vacation first and to adopt th Council Bill 5070, an ordinance vacating West 12 Avenue, located between Olive Street and Willamette Street. The motion passed, 6:2; Ms. Taylor and Mr. Brown voting no. Mr. Brown, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to bring the tabled motion back to the table. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Senior Planner Nan Laurence and Urban Services Manager Denny Braud of the Planning and Development Department led the council through a PowerPoint presentation that responded to earlier council questions, outlined the project benefits and impacts, and overviewed the conditions incorporated into the City’s agreements with the project developer. Councilors were provided with copies of a triple bottom line analysis of the project. Councilors asked questions clarifying the details of the presentation. The council then considered the tabled amendment: I move to amend Section 1.6 of the resolution to add the following subsections: the MOU shall require compliance with the standards for construction noise and air quality, tenant noise, parking, and apartment management as described in the May 8, 2012, letter from the Olive Plaza management and resident representative, except that the word “should” is replaced with the word “shall” for all standards. Mr. Zelenka asked questions clarifying the distinctions between what was called for in the letter from Olive Plaza management and what was mandated by City Code and observed that the amendment seemed to establish a new air quality standard. In addition, it proposed that Capstone Collegiate Communities provided a separate parking at below-marking rates for Olive Plaza, which had been constructed without its own parking. Mr. Zelenka suggested that an ordinance that mandated on-site management for such development would address many of the concerns expressed by Olive Plaza management. Mr. Clark said if the code was deficient the council should address those deficiencies. He was unclear on the implications of the amendment and could not support it because it was presented so late in the process. MINUTES—Eugene City Council May 9, 2012 Page 2 Work Session
