Charnelton Street can't be developed to go through to W 29th Ave, (the Lincoln St & Woodfield Station traffic lights already have backed up traffic problems) and it can't be developed to go through to W 27th Ave, (it's too steep and narrow). Christine said that with current and future influx of people, they come with kids, so we should save schools. Paul Conte said that in Envision Eugene, Opportunity Siting was a key strategy. But yet nothing was done; instead it was hijacked to Area Planning. Opportunity Siting is site specific, and community supported. Terri said this is noted, and it is on the work plan.

Paul said that the developer gets more flexibility and greater density as a result of a proposal that the neighborhood community supports through a discretionary process. -line at: https://trusttheneighbors.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/guidetoopportunitysitingv2draft.pdf .\] Page . 8 of 9 SWN Conversation About Neighbhorhoods, 8/16/2016
