Umetsu explained there are three provisions that
need to be established in the draft petition: 1)
Confirm the annexation boundaries; 2) Establish
whether or not bonded indebtedness will be assumed;
and, 3) Established simultaneous zoning and comp
plan designation upon annexation, which the staff
and Planning Commission have recommended as Heavy
Industrial Comprehensive Plan M -2 Zoning with 115 ft. height exception
area.
MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, TO
ACCEPT THE ANNEXATION BOUNDARIES AS PRESENTED.
MOTION CARRIED.
MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY MULLET, TO
ACCEPT THE APPLICANT'S POSITION TO NOT ACCEPT THE
CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.*
Councilmember Robertson commented that it is not appropriate to ask
Ox Bow to assume the City's bonded indebtedness when all other
annexations have had it waived. In all fairness, Ox Bow should be given
the same consideration.
MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, TO
ACCEPT THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S
RECOMMENDATION FOR AN M -2 HEAVY INDUSTRIAL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ZONING DESIGNATION WITH 115
FT. HEIGHT EXCEPTION AND THAT IT BE SIMULTANEOUS
WITH THE ANNEXATION.*

3:34 P.M.
Councilmember Duffie requested clarification of
Heavy Industrial Zoning. Umetsu explained that Heavy Industrial is the
heaviest of all the zoning -a more intense -use zone. It includes
processing of metals, heavy stamping of metals, assembly and
manipulation of materials, certain types of chemicals (not as in
rendering plants), as well as all other lower intensity uses such as
warehousing, light metal fabrication, hotels /motels, etc.
Robertson inquired as to its current use. Umetsu responded that the
current use there is light assembly and warehousing which means it is in
line with either an M -2 or M -1 use. The warehousing would be an M -1
or possibly C -M. The truck terminal and contractor assembly yards
would be more in line with an M -2 use because of the extensive outdoor
storage. The M -2 use is consistent with the M -2 zones on the east side
(the entire E. Marginal corridor, which is also a 115 ft. height exception
area).
Duffie inquired as to what measures had been taken to be sure the
property owners were properly informed of the zoning use. Umetsu
said notices were hand delivered, mailed and /or posted at driveways of
public hearings and public information meetings. He said only one
person was in attendance.
*MOTION CARRIED.
Robertson inquired if the administration is recommending an
environmental audit. McFarland stated that the City is not
recommending an environmental audit because it would be very
expensive, time consuming and there are no apparent reasons for an
audit.
MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, TO
ADJO 1 SP CIAL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.

Robertson commented that he would like to see the issue of the public
shoreline trail access resolved. He would like a decision made on
whether to execute a permanent easement of the secondary loop that
goes out by the river; then, spend public monies to continue the trail
access at that point.
Lawrence suggested the Council schedule time to discuss this issue with
Don Williams, Parks Director, who's experienced in this area.
