<br />DEVELOPMENT POLICY <br /> <br />Downtown Plan: 'The general policy for the development of this site comes from the 2004 <br />Eugene Downtown Plan. There are two central themes in the Plan: 1) reinforce downtown <br />Eugene as a strong regional center, and 2) strengthen downtown as a cultural center and the <br />center of community life. The Plan calls for development of downtown as an urban center <br />with unique qualities, character, vitality, intensity, and diversity of uses. The Urban Renewal <br />Agency encourages proposals that are consistent with the policies and strategies identified in <br />the Plan. Copies of the Downtown Plan are available upon request. <br /> <br />A Vision for Greater Downtown Eugene: The 2000 Vision for Greater Downtown Eugene <br />created the framework for the Downtown Plan. The Vision seeks to expand housing, <br />entertainment, recreational and cultural activities downtown and seeks to strengthen <br />downtown's role as a dense regional center for employment, government, and education. <br />The creation of specific redevelopment concepts for the 1()th & Charnelton site that achieve <br />diverse, high-density development is a key next step identified in the Vision.
