Planner Colin Stephens was present for the staff report on this item. Mr. Stephens explained
that as originally scheduled, Council would have adopted the findings for the Metro Plan and
Gateway Refmement Plan amendments for Peace Health on April 7,2003. Adoption of the
ordinances was held over until April 14, 2003 to allow staff sufficient time to analyze seventy
pages of data submitted by Peace Health just one day prior to council packet deadline.
While City staff and Peace Health consultants are very close to fmalizing the complex set of
findings, we again fmd the need to hold over adoption ofthe findings until April 21, 2003.
On the day of packet deadline this week, Peace Health questioned specific language
concerning the amount of acreage that will ultimately be rezoned to Mixed Use Commercial
(MUC) and Medical Services (MS) and the amount of trips that accompany that zoning.
