This meeting is informational; no action is requested. BRIEFING STATEMENT Earlier this year, City Council directed staff to prepare an adoption package that adds approximately 958 acres to Eugene’s UGB for jobs, parks, and schools, and includes the components listed in Attachment A. Work is currently underway on all of the various amendments, documents and findings required for adoption. The purpose of this work session is to familiarize the Planning Commission with these components in advance of future meetings. While the Planning Commission will have a formal role in reviewing the entire adoption package, certain pieces, such as the local comprehensive plan policies and the new overlay zone for the employment expansion area, will come before the Planning Commission for additional review in advance of the formal adoption process. The formal adoption process will include a joint hearing with the Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions, followed by deliberations/recommendation. The joint public hearing is tentatively scheduled for mid-September 2015. Following the planning commission proceedings, the Eugene City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners will hold a joint public hearing and take action on the adoption package.
