AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
February 27, 2012
To: Eugene Planning Commission
From: Alissa Hansen, City of Eugene Planning Division
Subject: Envision Eugene Update: Urban Growth Boundary Study Areas
ACTION REQUESTED
This work session provides the Planning Commission with an update and opportunity to provide
feedback on analysis of potential urban growth boundary expansion areas for single‐family
residential homes.
BRIEFING STATEMENT
In the event of a UGB expansion, the state requires specific steps to identify priority areas for
expansion. At previous Planning Commission meetings, potential UGB expansion areas for public
uses (parks and schools), employment and single‐family residential homes were presented. As
additional background information, links to the webcasts of past Planning Commission meetings on
this topic are provided below, as is a copy of the PowerPoint presentation from the past Planning
Commission meeting on UGB study areas. An update on study areas for single family residential
homes, including more detailed information regarding utilities and services, and capacity for
additional homes in these study areas will be provided at this work session.
NEXT STEPS
The City Manager will include recommendations for urban growth boundary expansion options in
the overall Envision Eugene recommendation.

alternative areas
• Efficient accommodation of land need

priority lands.
If land need cannot be accommodated on first priority lands,
then the next priority of lands must be analyzed for suitability.
• Marginal Lands
• Farm and Forest Lands (poorest soils first)
