continued stalemate and a loss of public trust. Through Collaborative Community Goal Setting, we hop to ensure neighborhood livability and economic vibrancy while also accomplishing broader city-wide goals, thus maintaining the integrity of Envision Eugene’s seven pillars. WHAT WOULD THE OUTCOMES BE? The outcome of the Collaborative Community Goal Setting process would be a specific recommendation to City Council, for City Council to vote on, from the community Team that answers the following questions: 1.For each of the six key transit corridors and downtown, how much new development of each type (multi-family, single family, missing middle, etc.) is each area's "share" to accomplish broader community goals and appropriately manage growth? 2.How many sites for homeless and very-low-income housing are needed in each region to ensure that these needed facilities are distributed fairly and not concentrated in one area? 3.What areas along the corridors should be the initial focus for localized planning efforts, with the understanding that the exact boundaries may change as the local teams delve into the details and additional community outreach will need to occur if that happens....For example, River Road is a long corridor-- is there a specific part of River Road that it makes sense to focus on first? 4.What infrastructure and service investments are the highest priority for each area, given their relative strengths and needs, to provide information for the local team to expand upon further? This would include things such as parks, commercial centers, transportation infrastructure, etc. For example, a true 20- minute neighborhood needs parks/open space, commercial areas, transit, etc. nearby. Perhaps, during the course of this process, it is determined that the West 11th corridor has comparatively good transportation resources, but lacks parkland, while South Willamette has a comparatively good supply of parks/open space, but faces more transportation challenges. This analysis would help focus and put into context the refinement-plan level discussions.
