The Eugene City Council will also hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the Eugene Code (EC) that affect property within the city limits and the River Road and Santa Clara Neighborhoods. After the hearing, each body will meet separately to deliberate and act on the components of the proposal which affect their jurisdiction. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND Since 2017, the City of Eugene and Lane County have been working with the River Road Community Organization (RRCO) and the Santa Clara Community Organization (SCCO) to create a new Neighborhood Plan. For over 30 years, land use and development within the River Road and Santa Clara communities has been governed by the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (1987). All parties agreed that a plan with a forward-looking vision was needed for this large part of the community. Over the years, members of RRCO and SSCO have dedicated innumerable volunteer hours to developing a foundation of community input on which to build the neighborhood planning <br />CC Agenda Page 1
