Incentives may <br />include: <br />• Regulatory (flexible codes, design review) <br />• Facilitative (no cost pre -application meetings) <br />• Financial (MUPTE, variable SDCs) <br />• Affordable housing (land bank program, Low Income Rental <br />Housing Property Tax Exemption, SDC grants) <br />• Infrastructure (utilities, transit, street improvements, parking, <br />sidewalks and bicycle/pedestrian improvements) <br />Create neighborhood plans to address unique situations and <br />impacts in different neighborhoods. <br />• Complete area planning for the University neighborhoods to address <br />the interface between the University of Oregon, high density housing <br />and surrounding single-family neighborhoods. Begin this planning <br />process immediately following local adoption of Envision Eugene. <br />• Complete area planning for the River Road and Santa Clara neighbor- <br />hoods to address impacts of increasing urbanization. Begin this <br />planning process immediately following local adoption of Envision <br />Eugene. <br />• Beginning in 2015, select at least one neighborhood every two years <br />as needed, for completion of area planning. As resources allow, <br />complete plans at a quicker rate. <br />• Continue Strategic Neighborhood Assessment and Planning (SNAP) <br />program to provide opportunities for neighborhood -based planning <br />activities. <br />Neighborhood planning will address unique situations and <br />opportunities across the city. <br />164 <br />16 <br />
