<br />Chapter 3 <br /> <br />Preliminary land <br />Supply Analysis <br /> <br />This chapter presents a preliminary land supply analysis for the Eugene- <br />Springfield UGB based on queries from the database. It is divided into three <br />sections: (1) a summary of the commercial and industrial land base; (2) a <br />summary of vacant land; and (3) a summary of potentially redevelopable land. <br /> <br />RESULTS <br /> <br />LAND BASE <br /> <br />Table 3-1 shows acres within the Eugene-Springfield Urban Growth <br />Boundary (UGB) by jurisdiction. The data indicate that the Metro UGB <br />encompasses over 76 square miles (over 49,000 acres). More than half of the land <br />within the Metro UGB (42 square miles) is within the Eugene city limits. <br /> <br />Table 3-1.

Not all land within the Metro UGB, <br />however, is in tax lots. Table 3-1 shows that about 83% of the land within the <br />Metro UGB is in tax lots. The percentages for Eugene and Springfield are roughly <br />comparable, while the area between the city limits and UGB has a slightly higher <br />percentage of land in tax lots. This is due to the presence of more large parcels <br />and fewer streets in the urbanizable area. <br /> <br />DRAFT: Commercial and Industrial Lands Database <br /> <br />ECONorthwest <br /> <br />July 2006 <br /> <br />Page 11 <br />
