Within two months of approval of the criteria, the EWEB Board will select <br />five members, then the City Council will select four members of the CAT consistent with the <br />approved criteria. City staff and EWEB staff will assist the Board and Team within their <br />respective areas of expertise; City staff will not bill EWEB for their assistance. <br /> <br />The CAT will work with a qualified consultant/facilitator to create a master plan for the EWEB <br />site. <br /> <br />2. Hiring the Consultant / Facilitator (Consultant). Following the appointment of the full <br />Citizen Advisory Team, the CAT will develop proposed criteria for a Request For Qualifications <br />(RFQ) to hire a Consultant to facilitate the CAT and develop the Master Plan for the <br />redevelopment of the EWEB riverfront. Following the Board’s approval or modification of the <br />proposed criteria, EWEB Staff will advertise the RFQ. The CAT will review and analyze <br />responses to the RFQ and then recommend to the EWEB Board their preferred applicant. The <br />recommendation will include a list of the finalists and why the preferred applicant is <br />recommended over the other finalists. The EWEB Board will review the recommendation and <br />information and then select the Consultant to be hired. <br /> <br />3. Project Kick-off Meeting. As soon as possible after the hiring of the Consultant, EWEB <br />will host a kick-off meeting. The meeting will bring together the CAT, Consultant, EWEB <br />Board and interested City and EWEB Staff to discuss the constraints and opportunities of the <br />site. The Kick-off Meeting will be open to the public. <br /> <br />4. Development of the EWEB Riverfront Master Plan.

The Master Plan should contain both text and images to <br />communicate the scale and character of development envisioned for the site and to guide the <br />long-term physical development over time. At a minimum, the Master Plan will include the <br />following information: <br /> <br />a. A description and diagram of the overall development concept; <br />b. A description of how the concept satisfies the criteria in the Downtown Plan; <br />c. Any architectural, urban design or landscaping guidelines, principles or standards; <br />d. A description and diagram of general uses on the site; <br />e. Anticipated height and massing of the structures on the site; <br />f. Location of roads, sidewalks and other transportation and infrastructure elements; <br />g. Location of landscaped areas, open space areas or protected riparian areas; <br />h. A description of how the site connects with surrounding sites; and <br />i. Any anticipated phasing of development or site improvements. <br /> <br />A public involvement process shall aid the development of the Riverfront Master Plan. This <br />process shall include public input for the “Concept Elements,” as outlined in Policy 3 of the <br />April, 2004 Eugene Downtown Plan (page 29), as well as for the Draft Riverfront Plan.
