<br /> <br />Planning & Development <br />Planning <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />City of Eugene <br />99 West 10th Avenue <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br />(541) 682-5377 <br />(541)682-5572 FAX <br />www.eugene-or.gov <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />June 12, 2006 <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy, Eugene City Council, and Lane Transit District Board of Directors <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Allen Lowe, Eugene Planning and Development Department <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Walnut Station Mixed Use Development Project <br /> <br />The Walnut Station Mixed Use Development project was initiated in June 2005 to address <br />changes that are occurring along the east end of Franklin Boulevard. The project is named for <br />one of the ErnX station locations that will serve the area. The Walnut Station project was split <br />into two distinct phases. Phase One, which has just ended, focused on the development of a <br />vision and planning framework for the Walnut Station study area. Phase Two, scheduled to <br />begin next month, will focus on plan development and implementation. <br /> <br />The planning process employed over the past year included an extensive citizen involvement <br />component that helped define a vision for the area. Several future scenarios (land use and <br />transportation alternatives) were presented to area stakeholders in January and February <br />following extensive discussions at public workshops, in property owner interviews, issues group <br />sessions, and meetings with the Walnut Station Steering Committee. While the Phase One <br />visioning process was intended to conclude with the selection of a "preferred alternative" that <br />would provide a clear direction for future implementation work, the process fell somewhat short <br />of that goal. <br /> <br />On March 23, City staff and the project consultant met with the Planning Commission to review <br />the elements of design that came out of the "preferred alternative" selection process. The <br />Planning Commission noted that the Phase One process concluded with substantial agreement, <br />by most stakeholders, on most of the elements of a plan for redevelopment of the area, but did <br />not endorse a preferred alternative. They suggested, instead, that staff continue to seek <br />agreement on the dozen or so design elements on which no agreement was reached during Phase <br />One. Phase Two of the process will continue to seek agreement on a "preferred alternative" to <br />guide planning for the area. In the meantime, the work that came out of Phase One of the <br />process is being characterized as the "Emerging Vision" for the Walnut Station area. <br /> <br />Following the meeting with the Planning Commission, the consultants, Urbsworks, prepared the <br />final report on the Phase One project. The Walnut Station Phase One Report is included as <br />Attachment D.l. In addition, a matrix that summarizes the issues that must be still be resolved <br />before the Phase Two implementation plan can be developed is also attached. The matrix, <br />entitled Walnut Station Emerging Vision - Issues to be Resolved in Phase Two is included as <br />Attachment D.2. <br />
