River Road Santa Clara Neighborhood Page 2 of 5 Work Session: March 10, 2020 <br />Plan Project Update <br />of Commissioners approved the draft goals and policies as a platform for moving into the <br />Action Planning Phase. <br /> <br />Project Phases <br /> <br /> <br />Action Planning Phase <br />In May 2019, the project transitioned into the Action Planning phase, which focused on <br />drafting, evaluating and prioritizing actions to implement the draft policies. Refining the <br />action items has been a collaborative process among the CAC, Working Group members, and <br />City, County, and partner agency staff to incorporate community and technical feedback. The <br />Action Plan Highlights provided in Attachment A are key priorities for implementing the River <br />Road-Santa Clara neighborhood plan. Each highlight relates to one or more draft actions in <br />Attachment B. Some actions will take collaboration between Lane County staff, decision <br />makers and the community such as action 7.1.2 (page 9 in Attachment B) about County <br />adoption of Statewide Planning Goal 5 and Goal 6 natural resource protections for parcels <br />inside the neighborhood boundaries as well as actions under policy 10.1 (page 12 in <br />Attachment B) regarding preserving high value farmland outside the urban growth boundary <br />(UGB). <br /> <br />The CAC and technical staff will continue preparing the Action Plan with details such as who <br />would be responsible for implementing the action and a general estimate for cost, timeframe <br />and feasibility. An important outcome of the Action Plan is to support continued <br />neighborhood advocacy and future funding and resource requests for ongoing plan <br />implementation. This also includes identifying priority actions, such as land use code <br />amendments to include in the neighborhood plan adoption package. The adoption package <br />will be comprised of the neighborhood plan document, which includes the goals, policies and <br />actions, as well as land use code amendments, plan designation and zone change tables and <br />maps, legal findings and ordinances. Proposed zone and plan designation changes as part of <br />the neighborhood plan actions or River Road Corridor Study are all within Eugene’s UGB, and <br />any proposed changes outside the city limits will only occur and become effective as property <br />owners choose to annex. In March 2020, the project team is also providing project updates to <br />the Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions and Eugene City Council. <br /> <br />Community Outreach <br />Throughout the Action Planning phase, there have been a variety of opportunities for <br />community input including an online survey, focused outreach to affordable housing <br />communities and businesses, and Pumpkin Pie and Planning – a large community event in fall
