Council President Moore stated that the council will now go into executive session to discuss the two legal matters as earlier described, which is anticipated to last for 30 minutes. Following the executive session, the council will return to the council chambers for possible further action and adjournment. EXECUTIVE SESSION The City Council meeting recessed for an executive session and reconvened at 7:30 p.m. Council President Moore stated that the council will now reconvene for the purpose of considering the action to be introduced by staff. Allan Giffen, Planning, stated that the action before council is a proposed ordinance establishing an interim official control on property located just north of Silver Lake along 19th Avenue SE. It is on property that comprises approximately 7 acres of land and 8 parcels that has been assembled by the previous owner who lost the property through foreclosure. He had proposed a very high-quality plan for the property, and the community invested considerable effort in the approval of that plan. The property has been sold and this interim action would establish some regulations that would be in effect to require high-quality mixed-use development similar in character to that which had already been approved under a shoreline permit. President Moore stated that the council is being asked to consider the adoption of the following ordinance. This being an emergency ordinance, all three readings will occur at the same time. Therefore, he asked that council make a motion declaring an emergency to exist and declaring this to be the 1St 2nd and 3rd reading of the proposed ordinance and that the ordinance be approved. 41
