The Eugene Water & Electric <br />Board Riverfront Master Plan was adopted by the EWEB Board in 2010. The Master Plan, which <br />included a significant multi-year public engagement process, was adopted by City Council in 2013 <br />.along with land use policies to support its implementation, including establishment of the <br />Downtown Riverfront Special Area Zone (S-DR). In November 2013, the EWEB Board of Directors <br />declared as surplus approximately 17 acres of the site, and in April 2018 the Urban Renewal <br />Agency of the City of Eugene (Agency) finalized the purchase of approximately 17 acres of <br />riverfront property from EWEB. <br />On June 16, 2017, the Agency entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with <br />Williams/Dame Associates. WDA's Downtown Riverfront concept plan was presented to City <br />Council on January 31, 2018. Throughout spring and summer of 2018 public feedback was <br />gathered on the concept plan. The Agency Board approved the proposed project development and <br />property sale terms with WDA on July 9, 2018, which included the high-level details from the <br />concept plan (Attachment A). That same evening, City Council initiated the land use code <br />amendments within this package to move forward with achieving the vision outlined in the <br />concept plan.
