The seven pillars of Envision Eugene have guided this work, and numerous cycles of public input, technical analysis, and document drafts have brought us to the point of having a UGB proposal ready to bring through the public hearing process. The UGB proposal includes establishing the UGB separate from the City of Springfield, and adding 958 acres of land for large industrial sites, parks, and schools. The proposal also includes a land use efficiency measure for housing. With adoption of that measure, Eugene’s UGB will contain enough land for twenty years of housing. The Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions have held a series of work sessions on the UGB adoption package, in preparation for the public hearing scheduled for March 7. On the night of the hearing, the Commissions will hold a joint work session to review a presentation of the UGB proposal, starting at 6:00 pm. The public is invited to attend the work session to view the presentation. Community members will have an opportunity to ask questions of staff after the presentation and before the hearing begins at 7:00. BACKGROUND The UGB adoption package is made up of two main packages: a jobs, parks and schools package, and a residential package. Each Planning Commissioner was provided a binder containing the January 2017 draft UGB adoption package materials, which are available to the public at www.EnvisionEugene.org and listed in Attachment A. Since the January draft was produced, a few clarifications and corrections have been made to the packages. These updates are detailed in Attachment B: February 2017 Updates to the UGB Adoption Package. These updates are minor in nature, and can be tracked by looking at the footer of the pages that contain updates. On these pages, the footer reflects a February 2017 date. UGB Proposal The City of Eugene is proposing to add new land to the UGB in two places and to make several changes to related plans and regulations. The UGB adoption package includes the following elements. All components are available on the City’s Adopting Our UGB webpage. Ordinance #1 (Establish UGB Land for Employment, Parks, Schools):  Adoption of a digital map establishing the precise location of Eugene’s UGB and adding Page 1  more land to the UGB in the Clear Lake and Santa Clara areas to meet the City’s long- term land needs for employment sites, a school site for the Bethel area, and community parks for the Bethel and Santa Clara areas. See reference maps in Attachment C.  Assignment of land use designations and new zones to the land being added to the UGB to allow the land’s current land uses to continue until the landowner proposes to establish the needed employment, park or school use identified for the land, and to protect particular natural resources on that land as identified in proposed amendments to the Water Resources Conservation Plan and the Water Quality Waterways Map.  Adoption of a new comprehensive land use plan that includes policies pertaining to economic development, transportation, and future monitoring of Eugene’s land supply and demand, an “economic opportunities analysis” and a new inventory of Eugene’s buildable lands for employment.  Amendments of public facilities and transportation plans to add projects needed to keep pace with 20 years of Eugene’s growth.  Amendments to the current Eugene Land Use Code to establish the /CL Clear Lake Overlay Zone and stormwater regulations for the Clear Lake expansion area.  Adoption of the current Eugene Land Use Code to make it applicable to the two areas added to the Eugene UGB. Ordinance #2: (Land for Housing):  Amendments to the new comprehensive land use plan to adopt a “housing needs analysis” which demonstrates that no land must be added to Eugene’s UGB to meet the City’s need for housing, and a new inventory of Eugene’s buildable lands for housing.  Amendments to the Eugene Land Use Code to increase the required minimum density from 10 to 13 dwelling units per net acre on lots that are 0.5 acre or larger in the R-2 Medium Density Residential zone, with some exceptions (e.g. housing for low income individuals). The City’s UGB adoption package website includes draft findings in support of the UGB ordinances, located here: https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/30860 and https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/30871. Public testimony received to date can be found here https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/31250. As testimony is received, it will be added to this location on the website. NEXT STEPS After the hearing, each Planning Commission will hold its own deliberation meetings and form separate recommendations to their respective elected bodies. The Eugene City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners will hold work sessions, a public hearing, and deliberations to consider the Planning Commissions’ recommendations beginning in May.
