(work session at 5:30 p.m.) Regarding the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary Harris Hall - Lane County Public Service Building 125 East 8th Avenue, Eugene Why Am I Receiving this Notice? You are receiving this notice because you reside on property located within, or own or reside on property located near, an area the City of Eugene is proposing to bring into Eugene's urban growth boundary. The area, referred to as the "Clear Lake Lxpansion Area," is needed to provide Eugene more and for employment, a school and a park and is shown on the map below. Envision Eugene: Urban Growth Boundary Proiect (City Files CA 17-1. MA 17-1. RA 17-1. Z 17-2) The City of Eugene is proposing to take numerous actions related to its urban growth boundary ("UGB"), the boundary to which Eugene's city limits may eventually grow. State law requires that this UGB include enough space for 20 years of growth to meet Eugene's need for jobs, parks, schools and homes. As part of this proposal, the City is proposing to add new land to the UGB in two places and to make several changes to related plans and regulations, including: Ordinance #1 (Establish UGB Land for Employment, Parks, Schools): • Adoption of a digital map establishing the precise location of Eugene's UGB and adding more land to the UGB in the Clear Lake and Santa Clara areas to meet the City's long-term land needs for employment sites, a school site for the Bethel area, and community parks for the Bethel and Santa Clara areas. See reference map, below. • Assignment of land use designations and new zones to the land being added to the UGB to allow the land's current land uses to continue until the landowner proposes to establish the needed employment, park or school use identified for the land, and to protect particular natural resources on that land as identified in proposed amendments to the Water Resources Conservation Plan and the Water Quality Waterways Map. • Adoption of a new comprehensive land use plan that includes policies pertaining to economic development, transportation, and future monitoring of Eugene's land supply and demand, an "economic opportunities analysis" and a new inventory of Eugene's buildable lands for employment. • Amendments of public facilities and transportation plans to add projects needed to keep pace with 20 years of Eugene's growth. • Amendments to the current Eugene Land Use Code to establish the /CL Clear Lake Overlay Zone and stormwater regulations for the Clear Lake expansion area.
