0 <br />Community <br />for all <br />ember' <br />To meet the economic needs of Eugene residents today and in the future, we will pursue a multi- <br />faceted approach that utilizes several strategies: <br />1 . Meet all of the 20 -year commercial land needs (office and retail) within the existing urban growth <br />boundary (UGB). (Note: this does not preclude the inclusion of small amounts of commercial lands within <br />areas that expand to accommodate other uses) <br />• Conduct a parcel evaluation and re -designate <br />100 to 200 acres of marginal industrial lands <br />(generally 2 acres or less in size) to a commer- <br />cial or flexible employment zone (see below). <br />• Change the land use code to increase flexibility <br />for compatible uses allowed within industrial and <br />commercial zones. <br />• Redevelop key transit corridors and core <br />commercial areas (including downtown). (See the <br />Promote Compact Urban Development pillar for <br />additional strategies and actions to facilitate <br />redevelopment of commercial uses in core <br />commercial areas and corridors.) <br />lists a variety of actions aimed at support- <br />ing and improving the local economy. <br />The plan also identifies several key <br />industries for our regional economy such <br />as clean tech/renwable energy, health/ <br />wellness, advanced manufacuring and <br />software.
