Mayor Lundberg asked Development and Public Works Director Len Goodwin to present the staff
report.
Mr. Goodwin said the elected officials had before them an ordinance that would amend and
supplement the Glenwood Refinement Plan (GRP) to address the remand from the Land Use Board of
Appeals (LUBA). After initial adoption, an appeal was filed raising a number of specifications and
assignments and sub - assignments of error. That matter was tried before LUBA and LUBA remanded
on several topics. The remand was detailed in the staff report and had been reviewed by the elected
officials during a previous work session. In addition, a property owner came forward regarding the
designation of their property in Subarea D. After consultation and discussion with the citizen, staff
concluded the goals of the GRP could be met by re- designating that land from employment mixed -use
to commercial mixed -use. The ordinances before Council included a change in the GRP to accomplish
that objective. Tonight, each public body must open the public record for the limited purpose of
hearing public testimony on the proposed changes to the GRP as outline in the staff report, and then
conduct a public hearing respective to those changes. After hearing any testimony, each public body
would close the public hearing and, if appropriate, close the public record. Springfield City Council
was scheduled to deliberate and act on this ordinance on April 7 and the County has tentatively
established a 7" reading date for April 15 in which they would deliberate and act on the ordinance.
Mayor Lundberg opened the public record and the public hearing for Springfield.
Board Chair Farr asked if Lane County staff would be making a presentation.
Lane County Planner Keir Miller said they would defer to the City's presentation.
Commissioner Farr opened the public record and the public hearing for Lane County.
No one appeared to speak.
Mayor Lundberg closed the public record and the public hearing for Springfield.
Commissioner Farr closed the public record and the public hearing for Lane County.
Mayor Lundberg noted that the Springfield City Council would not be taking action tonight.
IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER STEWART WITH A SECOND BY
COMMISSIONER BOZIEVICH TO MOVE THE 6TH READING AND SET THE 7TH
READING AND DELIBERATION FOR APRIL 15 ON ORDINANCE PA1308.
