The Eugene Planning Commission was established in 1925. It is appointed by the Eugene City <br />Council in conformance with ORS Chapter 227, which sets state requirements for establishing city <br />planning commissions, and Chapter 2 of the Eugene Code. "Organization and Bylaws of the Eugene <br />Planning Commission" includes these state and Eugene Code requirements as well as additional <br />direction for Commission structure and operations adopted by the Commission. <br /> <br />In addition to their commitment to ongoing meetings, the Planning Commission, along with many <br />other areas of the City, faced many challenges this year including adapting to a new program manager, <br />facing frustrating and controversial appeals, dealing with continued budget cuts to their operating staff, <br />as well as experiencing some internal struggles with their role. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission bylaws establish three regular meeting dates per month. The Planning <br />Commission number of average meetings has been sporadic over the last decade but generally well <br />above those outlined in the bylaws. A conscious effort to return to the adopted and approved <br />expectations was made in FY04. <br /> <br /> Planning Commission Meetings <br /> <br /> v, 80 <br /> .=_ 70 Actual <br /> · 60 Number of <br /> ~ 50 Meetings <br /> o 40 <br /> '- 30 Number of <br /> ~ 20 Meetings per <br /> E <br /> = 10 bylaws <br /> z 0 <br /> <br /> Year <br /> <br />The Planning Commission has one subcommittee, the Historic Review Board.
