iv) Willamette Greenway v) Slope vi) Other Goal 5 or CWA/ESA limitations q) Onsite services (water, sewer, electrical, natural gas, etc.). r) Proximity to transportation corridors (highways, railroads, navigable waters, ports, airports, etc). 3) Design and construct a database with a format that is compatible with the existing parcel files and zoning diagrams of Lane County, Eugene, and Springfield, and that supports the collective ability to update and query the inventories. 4) The inventory of commercial and industrial lands within the jurisdictions of the City of Springfield (city limits and UGB), City of Eugene (city limits and UGB), and the Metro Plan Area (outside UGBs), shall comply with the research requirements of Oregon Administrative Rule 660-009-0015 Economic Opportunities Analysis, subsection (3) Inventory of Industrial and Commercial Lands. 5) The inventory shall include a qualitative component to evaluate opportunities for redevelopment or other use options including assembly of available parcels within the jurisdictions of the City of Springfield (city limits and UGB), City of Eugene (city limits and UGB), and the Metro Plan Area (outside UGBs), to recommend how the use of existing commercial and industrial lands might be maximized. 6) Coordinate with the technical advisory committee representing the four sponsors (City of Eugene, City of Springfield, Lane County, and Lane Metro Partnership) for preliminary review of the deliverables required in Scope of Services: 1.,2.,3. and 4., above. 7) Prepare a final report and summary presentation and present the final report to a group of stakeholders in a forum to be determined. ECO will include these elements as part of the project to the extent that available data allow. The inventory will be based entirely on existing data sets and will be supplemented with field verification for a subset of parcels. The Work Plan that follows provides more detail about how ECO will address these elements which, in some cases, may require modifications to the list above. WORK PLAN (TASKS, PRODUCTS, SCHEDULE, BUDGET) ECONorthwest will conduct the following tasks to work with the project partners to complete the buildable lands inventory and analysis. The project will be divided into two phases: (1) information gathering and assessment; and (2) research, data analysis, and reporting. Note that this Work Plan is likely but still flexible: Task 1 requires the development of a more detailed work plan after the consultant has evaluated available data, and a review of that work plan by a Technical Advisory Committee. Thus, this scope of work could be modified in Task 1. PHASE 1: INFORMATION GATHERING AND ASSESSMENT Task 1 - Project start-up Task 1 includes four steps for ECO: (1) assist Lane County Land Management staff as they form and convene the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), (2) compile and evaluate existing studies and available GIS data and zoning maps; (3) prepare a memorandum describing findings, and (4) meet with the TAC to: a) define the goals and objectives of the project partners with respect to the inventory; and, b) get the TAC's opinions about the research in Phase 2, given the findings about data and potential methods. ECO will work with the TAC to develop a field verification process and qualitative methods Page 2 of 4
