River Road-Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan Engagement Summary Page 10 of 11 Phase 6: Adoption (March 2021 – xxx 2024) On May 12, 2021, project staff received direction from the Eugene City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners to move into the Adoption Phase and prepare a plan adoption package for community review. Between spring 2021 and spring 2023, staff and the CAC worked on refining the adoption package and adapting the plan and implementation tools to evolving state requirements, including legislation affecting middle housing and more climate-friendly housing development. In March 2023, the CAC approved bringing the draft Neighborhood Plan, Action Plan, and neighborhood- specific code amendments out for community feedback, kicking-off the broader engagement process for the Adoption Phase. Updated drafts of the Neighborhood Plan and Action Plan and an initial draft of the neighborhood-specific code amendments were published to the project website and the project’s Engage Eugene site. Public Information Campaign Project staff distributed information about neighborhood planning and the adoption process through a variety of digital media, including updates to the project website, Engage Eugene webpage, social media, and e-newsletters from the City Planning Division, and both community organizations. Project staff also developed summary documents that were available online and at in-person events, as well as graphics depicting the proposed code amendments. Postcard Mailing In early May 2023, project staff mailed a postcard to all owners and residents of the River Road and Santa Clara neighborhoods, approximately 16,800 people. The postcard featured ways to engage during the adoption phase, including virtual information sessions, an in-person community event, meeting toolkit, and online feedback form.
