May 12, 2021, Work Session – Item 1 <br />to capture and catalogue community identified actions that are possible strategies to implement the policies of the River Road-Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan. The Action Plan is intended to be dynamic and non-regulatory in nature. Staff has been working to assemble the draft Action Plan (https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/61160/April-2021-Action-Plan-Draft), including drafting Topic Area introductions that summarize related City and County projects and processes that can support implementation of various actions. The project is preparing to transition from Action Planning to the Adoption Phase, which will focus on preparing for the formal adoption of the River Road-Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan. Adoption of the Neighborhood Plan will provide the policy direction to guide future plan implementation. See the project website for an overview of the Adoption Phase (https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/49830/Adoption-Phase-Overview). Triple Bottom Line The project’s Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Sounding Board met twice, on February 7, 2019 (https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/45355/2619-TBL-Summary-Minutes) and on February 3, 2020 (https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/52838/2320-TBL-Minutes-with-Feedback) to provide a citywide perspective about the equity, environmental and economic implications of Topic Area goals, policies and actions drafted during the neighborhood planning process. Throughout the Topic Areas, there are overarching themes such as equity and inclusion, connectivity, healthy people and climate, safety, prosperity and neighborhood identity that together support the Triple Bottom Line framework. During the Action Planning Phase, the TBL Sounding Board focused on the draft actions and emphasized the need to balance priority actions such as providing housing options while creating design transitions to ensure sustainable, equitable outcomes. Plan Implementation An important outcome of the Neighborhood Plan, including the Action Plan, is continued collaboration between the community and City, County and partner agency staff to support plan implementation. To support implementation of the Action Plan, the City of Eugene is anticipating shifting toward a planning district approach to support coordination of a variety of programs, projects, and partnerships while working towards more equitable outcomes throughout Eugene. This approach is inspired by Eugene’s Parks and Recreation System Plan, which uses Neighborhood Planning Districts to conduct geographically based planning that allows for the consideration of unique characteristics and opportunities of each area. The River Road-Santa Clara planning district approach will focus on coordination and information sharing between City staff across different work groups, coordination with Lane County, and collaboration with the River Road and Santa Clara communities. Phasing of Land Use Code Actions Staff recommended phased implementation of actions that involve land use code amendments based on community priorities and staff capacity and resources. A summary of staff recommendations and Community Advisory Committee feedback is provided in the Overview of Adoption Package and Code Actions in Attachment B. A detailed list of all code actions is provided <br />CC Agenda - Page 2
