Attachment B <br />River Road -Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan <br />Engagement Summary NOhje.p"' <br />Phase 5: Action Planning (May 2019 — March 2021) <br />In May 2019, the project transitioned into the Action Planning phase, which focused on drafting, <br />evaluating and prioritizing actions to implement the draft policies. Refining the action items was a <br />collaborative process among the CAC, Working Group members, and City, County, and partner agency <br />staff to incorporate community and technical feedback. <br />River Road Corridor Study <br />In June 2019, project staff held a second series of Corridor Study workshops. Participants learned about <br />corridor concepts and land use and zoning options. The design team and community members discussed <br />implementation strategies and land use policies that could guide the type and location of growth. As <br />they reviewed the work of the design team, community members were asked a series of questions to <br />determine whether the proposed development standards and land use types fit with the vision for the <br />River Road Corridor area and desired neighborhood character. Community members, staff, and <br />consultant team members brainstormed draft land use concepts, zoning options and design standards <br />to further vet with the community using an online survey throughout summer and fall 2019 focusing on <br />two draft land use concepts. <br />Project Fair, Pumpkin Pie and Planning, and Community Events <br />Also in June 2019, project staff highlighted the Neighborhood Plan at a City of Eugene Planning Division <br />Project Fair at the Downtown Library, connecting with community members and talking to them about <br />the neighborhood planning efforts. Staff and community volunteers attended several other events <br />throughout the summer of 2019 to talk with community members about the Neighborhood Plan and <br />collect input. <br />In November 2019, community volunteers and project staff hosted the 'Pumpkin Pie and Planning' <br />event. Over 150 community members, the CAC and City and County staff discussed and shared thoughts <br />on draft action items. It was both a celebration with neighbors on all the work that had been done on <br />the Neighborhood Plan and an opportunity to continue providing input. Highlights of the presentation <br />and discussion included land use, zoning, better transportation, the development of parks and the <br />future of housing in Santa Clara and River Road. Given the large number of participants, discussions <br />were geared towards covering topics with highest priority and expressing support or concern for the <br />action items. Free pumpkin pie was available for those who attended, as well as harvest art activities, <br />Page 8 of 11 <br />Appendix 1 CC Agenda Page 73 March 12, 2024 JEO Public Hearing- Item 1 <br />
