environ L 0 N 'WO071 egacy OrvvaNfity W IiIMO RIVO OW Two primary goals of the Eugene City Council's Envision Eugene project are to: 1) determine how Eugene will accommodate the next 20 years of growth in our community, as required by state law, and 2) create a future that is livable, sustainable, beautiful and prosperous. The proposal de- scribed in the following pages outlines a strategy to achieve these goals. It is the result of collaborative and in-depth conversations with a wide variety of thoughtful and knowledgeable community members and sets a course for a new and sustainable vision for the future of Eugene. The proposal is titled "Envision Eugene: A Legacy of Livability;'to reflect the community's most prized values that emerged throughout the planning process. Seven pillars, or major objectives, assure that Eugene's growth is in line with community values. Each pillar is accompanied by strategies and tactics. Strategies are num- bered under each pillar and are the methods that will be used to achieve the pillar results. Tactics are represented as bullet points under each strategy and are the actions that must be taken to successfully implement a strategy. The pillars, strategies and tactics are interrelated, and should be considered holistically, rather than in isolation. The Seven Pillars of Envision Eugene • Provide ample economic opportunities for all community members • Provide affordable housing for all income levels • Plan for climate change and energy uncertainty • Promote compact urban development and efficient transportation options • Protect, repair, and enhance neighborhood livability • Protect, restore, and enhance natural resources • Provide for adaptable flexible and collaborative implemen- tation Envision Eugene is the result of collaborative and in-depth conversations with a wide variety of thoughtful and knowledgeable community members. 147
