Mayor Campbell clarified that if there is some vacant land that is currently zoned and appropriate, and it is adjacent to a dealership, they can't expand there; this is acceptable to both parties (auto dealers and property owners).

Changes to the text and policies. 12. Policy C-2.4. pertaining to the Atlantic Avenue Redevelop- ment Area: The City Manger commented that the upshot is whether or not the specific reference to 300 feet from Atlantic Avenue is locked in. The consensus committee came up with language which they felt accommodated both interests; subsequently there has been some additional discussion. The committee recommended not writing anything into the Comprehensive Plan document, but rather work on the specifics on a block by block basis and come up with a redevelopment plan incorporating the best of neighborhood input and the best of CRA input. The City Manager advised that some of the members of the public who are here this evening are -2- 5/30/89 suggesting that the redevelopment area should be narrowed only to 300 feet; he believes the CRA would say the area should be 600 feet. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he felt the Avenue could be developed quite well within 300 feet; however, they also want to maintain the neighborhood character of their community. In some cases there are some blocks where they could go more than 300 feet, so they need to set up some parameters and have the people work within those parameters. Mr. Weatherspoon advised he felt there would be no crime if some of those lots never get developed. Ms. McCarty commented that the ground rules for the committee were set early on to go block by block; no one is saying the 300 feet will not be the parameters. She felt the negotiation process should be allowed to evolve. Following discussion on the wording, Ms. Brainerd moved (with Mr. Weatherspoon's agreement that "generally should be" should be left in) for adoption with that modification and the language as presented in the modified language before them, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Mr. Andrews recommended that the word "affordable" housing be changed to "increasing housing opportunities" on vacant lots. Ms. Brainerd amended her motion and Ms. McCarty her second.
