Higher density use in this area is consistent with goals <br />stated in the 1994 General Plan and the 1974 Community Goals <br />and Policies, the Downtown Westside Plan, Whiteaker Neighbor <br />hood Refinement Plan and T~2444 Transportation Plan, which docu- <br />ments have been adopted by the City Council. <br />It is consistent with the area approved by the City <br />Council for the multiple unit property tax exemption. <br />It would help stimulate private reinvestment which is <br />needed to insure the success of public activities such as <br />the Community Development Block Giant funded neighborhood <br />improvement prograns, and the Central Eugene Renewal Project. <br />It includes areas which have been designated in the 1975 <br />Neighborhood Analysis Update as low-income concentrations, <br />substandard building concentrations, and as being "blighted" <br />or "potentially blighted",. <br />The area lies primarily within f~.re zones ~. and 2.
