any growth Eugene envisions must ¨­clud¤ lock-tight <br />And so the basicpoint I wish to share is this: <br />commitmen³² to include the amenities and ¨­frastructur¤ that mitigates new impacts and at the <br /> <br />very least preserves the ² ¬¤ level of livability that existed beforeIn short, without   guaranteed <br />. <br />resource stream to pay for the publi¢ improvemen³² that  ccompany private £evelopmen³ the <br />citizens of Eugene will be shortchanged. <br />If you have neighborhoodsandbusiness districtsthat areworking and live-able, tread very carefully in <br />terms of newvisions. Bethankful for the successandnurtureit gently. Ratherthan rely on widespread <br />(andgenerally irreversible) up-zoningandmassive area overlays - apply a precision focus where new <br />development can be surgically introduced to enhance rather than overwhelm existing urban fabric. <br />Thereare many euphemisms for new concepts in urban planning - “smart growth”and “missing middle” - <br />yet I believe that core ideas embodied in Portland’s 1980 Comprehensive Plan and the concept of “sense <br />of place” still represent a highlyvalid, holistic approach to accommodating growth that doesn’t <br />compromiselivability. <br />Thank you, <br />Jeff Cole <br />4343 SEMadison St. <br />Portland, OR 97215 <br />503.927.7748 <br /> <br />
