• Actions are possible strategies to implement the policies of this plan. The Neighborhood Plan is <br />supported by the non -regulatory Action Plan, which includes actions such as possible land use <br />code amendments, zone changes, projects, programs, and possible community partnerships. <br />The Action Plan is not attached to or incorporated in the Neighborhood Plan and the Action Plan <br />is not adopted by the City or County governing boards. The Action Plan is a separate document, <br />which identifies community priorities to guide implementation of the Neighborhood Plan. The <br />inclusion of a particular action in the Action Plan does not require implementation of that <br />action, nor does it prohibit the implementation of other actions, whether or not they are listed <br />in the Action Plan. The Action Plan identifies various local entities such as the City of <br />Eugene, Lane County, RCCO and SCCO, as well as additional community partners, who may lead <br />implementation of different actions. Some actions, such as land use code amendments and zone <br />changes, may require implementation by the Eugene City Council or the Lane County Board of <br />Commissioners. Other actions may be implemented by City or County staff, RCCO and SCCO, or <br />other community partners. <br />Implementation of the Action Plan will occur over time as committed community members <br />strive to improve the neighborhoods, and as resources allow. The Action Plan includes <br />general budget and timeframe estimates to help inform community advocacy for resources <br />and to inform City, County, and other community partners' work plans and <br />capital project development. Some actions will require public funds and resources while other <br />actions will be dependent on private investments and development activities. <br />A set of neighborhood -specific amendments to the City of Eugene's Land Use Code, applying <br />only within RRCO and SCCO, are proposed to be adopted concurrently with the Neighborhood <br />Plan. These amendments include changes to the C-2 Community Commercial Zone to lower the <br />maximum building height, add design standards, and prohibit certain auto -oriented land uses. <br />Additionally, the amendments include changes to the R-1 Low Density Residential Zone to allow <br />for the small-scale collective sale of agricultural products. These amendments reflect community <br />feedback and certain high priority actions in the Action Plan. <br />The policies under the various Topic Areas in this Neighborhood Plan are interrelated and, together, <br />create the plan's policy framework. In some cases, there is overlap between policies, and in other cases, <br />there may be conflicts and inconsistencies between and among some policies. When making decisions <br />based on the Neighborhood Plan, not all the policies can be complied with to the same degree in every <br />instance. Use of the Neighborhood Plan requires a balancing of its various policies on a case-by-case <br />basis, with an emphasis on those policies most pertinent to the issue at hand. <br />The policies in the Neighborhood Plan vary in their scope and implications. Some call for a specific City <br />or County action; others are directives the City and County must address when adopting or amending <br />their respective land use codes or plans; and others are aspirational calls for collaboration or additional <br />efforts from RRCO, SCCO, and community partners. The common theme of all the policies is that each <br />represents an approach toward land use problem -solving and goal realization in the River Road and <br />Santa Clara neighborhoods.
