AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
October 24, 2011
To: Eugene Planning Commission
From: Jason Dedrick and Carolyn Weiss, City of Eugene Planning Division
Subject: Envision Eugene Update: Public and Semi‐Public Land Need
ACTION REQUESTED
This work session provides the Planning Commission with an update and opportunity to provide
feedback on analysis regarding the future land need for public and semi‐public uses.
BRIEFING STATEMENT
This is part of an ongoing conversation about Eugene’s 20‐year land need for all land types, including:
• Public and semi‐public land
• Single‐family housing
• Multi‐family housing
• Commercial
• Industrial
Public and semi‐public lands include uses such as parks, schools, public facilities and religious
institutions. Some of the land need for these uses is planned to be included inside the current Urban
Growth Boundary (UGB), while other uses specifically require a UGB expansion to address the need
(see attached map). The uses that require a specific UGB expansion include:
Public Agency Expansion Need Expansion
amount
Bethel School District New School‐ to address increasing 80 acres
enrollment projections
City of Eugene Golden Gardens Community Park‐ to 160 acres
develop to urban standards
City of Eugene Santa Clara Community Park‐ to develop 19 acres
to urban standards
TOTAL 259 acres
Those public and semi‐public uses that are planned to be included inside the current UGB may still
trigger a UGB expansion to off‐set the use of land that is needed inside the current UGB and currently
planned for other uses. For instance, based on the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Project and
Priority Plan, an additional 160 acres of parkland is planned for inside the current UGB. Much of the
160 acres of future parkland, about 154 acres, will occur on land that is currently designated for
1

single‐family homes (see table below). Thus, when planning for our future land need for single‐
family homes, we must include in our analysis the assumption that approximately 154 acres of
existing land for single‐family homes may actually be utilized for the purposes of parks. The uses that
require land inside the current UGB include:
Public Agency Existing Land Need Amount Allocation to Metro Plan
Designations
City of Eugene Parks, Recreation and 160 acres LDR: 154 acres
Open Space projects MDR: 2 acres
Commercial: 4 acres
City of Eugene Infrastructure facility 20 acres Industrial: 14 acres
needs LDR: 6 acres
University of Oregon Acquisition plans 30 acres Commercial: 15 acres
LDR: 9 acres
MDR: 3 acres
HDR: 3 acres
TOTAL 210 acres
For semi‐public uses, the Eugene Comprehensive Lands Assessment initially projected a future need
of an additional 45 acres for religious institutions. However, as a result of the partially‐vacant lands
analysis, it has been determined that there is enough partially‐vacant land that is currently owned by
churches to accommodate future growth.
The Technical Resource Group of the Community Resource Group has reviewed the work on public
and semi‐public land need, and has concurred with the results.
NEXT STEPS
On November 9th, staff will discuss public and semi‐public land need with the City Council. This
discussion will also include updated analysis on the need for single‐family homes. Planning
Commission will hear this update on October 31st. A calendar of Planning Commission and City
Council work sessions and Public Hearings is attached. The City Council will not be asked to take any
action before the end of the year and before adequate public input is received.
