The recommendation includes four <br />areas: <br /> <br />Clear Lake: Land for over 3,000 jobs, commercial support <br /> <br />services, a 222-acre community park, and a future Bethel <br />school, all master planned and served by a green infrastructure system <br /> <br />Santa Clara: Land for a 35-acre community park <br /> <br /> <br />Bailey Hill/Gimpl Hill: 60 acres of land for 135 single-family homes <br /> <br /> <br />Bloomberg/McVay: 230 acres of land for 400 single-family homes, existing employment lands, a park and a <br /> <br />reservoir <br /> <br />The recommendation provided by City staff is based on more than five years of work that began in 2010 with Envision <br />Eugene – a community process to establish a collective vision for the city’s future and determine how to accommodate <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />December 19, 2014 <br />
