The final product will be adopted as a neighborhood refinement plan by the City of Eugene and Lane <br />County to ensure action and long-term implementation. <br />Geography The scope of work will cover River Road and Santa Clara communities in their entirety. There <br />will be additional attention given to the River Road Key Transit Corridor between Hunsaker Lane and the <br />Northwest Expressway. <br />Failure to Reach Resolution <br />The community's best outcome is an adopted neighborhood plan that embodies their vision for the <br />growth and development of the communities in a manner that respects their collective history and <br />heritage, semi -rural character, and unique development pattern. A failure to achieve this desired <br />outcome will preserve the status quo, which currently deploys out of date policies and uniform land use <br />code regulations. The status quo also fails to address the governance conundrum, thereby perpetuating <br />the complicated web of inefficient public service delivery. A third consequence of failure is the lost <br />opportunity to act upon years of work by grass roots community organizations in planning for their <br />future. Lastly, there is an opportunity to create a transferable planning model for the key transit corridor <br />(KTC) concepts. Failure here could limit the viability of the urban, walkable development patterns <br />defined for the corridors in the Envision Eugene community vision. <br />Goals <br />The goal of the neighborhood planning process is to produce and adopt a River Road -Santa Clara <br />Neighborhood Plan that: <br />1. Supports the Pillars of Envision Eugene, balances the varied directives under the Pillars, and <br />advances the community vision. <br />2. Reflects deep City -County -community collaboration through community-based activities. <br />3. Establishes a clear vision for the future of River Road and Santa Clara, plan goals and policies to <br />guide decision making, and an action plan that guides implementation by the City, County, and <br />community members. <br />4. Refines the Metro Plan and Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan for the Santa Clara and River <br />Road communities. <br />5. Creates a process that may serve as a transferable model for other neighborhood or key transit <br />corridor planning initiatives. <br />Objectives <br />Objectives are specific, measurable outcomes that tell you if the project was a success. <br />1. The neighborhood plan will be consistent with the Envision Eugene community vision, statewide <br />planning goals and guidelines, and local policies and codes, as demonstrated through findings at <br />the time of plan adoption. <br />2. The neighborhood plan will secure recommendations of approval from both Eugene and Lane <br />County Planning Commissions. <br />3. The plan will secure recommendations of approval from the River Road and Santa Clara <br />community organizations and the plan's Community Advisory Committee. <br />4. The adopted plan will secure a recommendation from the Eugene City Council to serve as an <br />example of neighborhood collaboration with City planning and other work groups, as well as an <br />31 Page <br />43 <br />
