Campus Planning Committee <br />November 28, 2017 Meeting <br />Page 2 <br />According to the recent newspaper article, the building that is proposed will be much taller <br />than the Knight Campus buildings. Christine Thompson (Campus Planning) added that the <br />UO has been engaged with the City of Eugene because large numbers of UO students are <br />likely to be living there and will need to cross Franklin Boulevard to get to the university. <br />The city will also be undertaking a study of Franklin Boulevard and the university will be <br />involved in that process as well. <br />Action: No action was requested. <br />2. North Campus - Conditional Use Permit - Master Site Plan Review <br />Background: <br />of processes which would occur before any physical development occurs in this area of <br />campus. This initial step will result in a master site plan that will be submitted to the city for <br />review. The second step is a university process which will go into much greater detail and <br />will result in an amendment to the Campus Plan. This amendment will include a description <br />of the character of each individual designated open space, existing landscape features of <br />constraints that exist in each area. The third step would take place when/if development <br />projects are proposed for this area. These projects will be brought before the committee <br />Oregon to make the best possible decisions in the future when we have more information <br />about what is possible. For example, what if the UO could build a net zero ecological design <br />building along the Willamette River as a showcase? The Master Site Plan should allow for <br />that possibility, understanding that there are many more opportunities for engagement and <br />feedback in the future. <br />Emily Eng (Campus Planning) reviewed information about the history of the riverfront <br />area, the process for the master site plan to date, and information previously presented <br />master site plan. <br />Colin McArthur (Cameron McCarthy Landscape Architects) reviewed previous drawings <br />that have been presented throughout the course of this study. He described the proposed <br />Master Site Plan, clarifying that is it more restrictive than what code currently allows. It <br />in the 1980s. That already described allowable limits for a number of factors including <br />university needs with a certainty of what kind of development can occur. <br /> <br />
