Employment, Parks, Schools Ordinance (City)- Planning Commission Recommendation (3 of 4)

Envision Eugene.' The City's park land need is discussed in greater detail in its findings documents, specifically addressing the need for an expansion to accommodate the need for two new community parks. Approximately 95 acres inside the UGB will be required for park land that might otherwise be used for residential or employment uses. As the City's need for park land relates to the 2012 Employment Buildable Land Inventory, based on the locations of the needed park land, only about 4 acres will be on Commercial land (the remainder of the 95 acres will be on residential land). School land needs are based on the estimate of land need provided by the school districts. The City's school land need is discussed in greater detail in its findings documents, addressing the need for an expansion to accommodate the need for one new school site for the Bethel School District. Neither the 4J School District nor the Bethel School District anticipates a need for a new school facility inside the current UGB over the 2012 to 2032 period. The 4.1 School Board has identified three sites (47.9 acres) as surplus: Dunn / Opportunity Center (4.5 acres), Bailey Hill (5.6 acres), and Coburg Farm (28.0 acres). The District may sell, trade, or lease these properties at some time in the future.1) These sites were addressed in Part I of this Study. The Bethel School District does not have surplus property." The need for Semi-public uses is forecast to be similar to historical needs, at about 1.3 acres per 1,000 people or 44 gross acres over the 20-year period; 29 in Low Density Residential and 15 in Commercial plan designations. Current trends have resulted in many semi-public uses (e.g. religious organizations) accommodating their growth on their existing property rather than requiring additional land. The Envision Eugene Technical Resource Group reviewed several parcels with existing semi-public uses and found that many of these sites that have not yet expanded appear to have room for a building expansion. Therefore, the entire need is anticipated to be accommodated through redevelopment and infill and not require any additional land. 4. Summary of Public Land Uses On Employment Land The following Table 2 summarizes the public land uses that will be accommodated on employment land inside the UGB. ' The PROS Project and Priority Plan was adopted as a fiscal plan and not as a land use plan nor as part of the local comprehensive plan. However, it provides the most detailed analysis for potential future park acquisition needs, so it is reasonable to estimate future acquisition needs using the PROS Project and Priority Plan list.
