lots, plan designation, acreage) and land constraints (e.g. rights-of-way, wetlands)'. The result is 34,503 acres of a sub-taxlot level analysis of the characteristics for all land within the 2012 Eugene UGB. Of this, 22,341 acres are residential land. This sub-taxlot analysis is then used to identify what pieces of land are suitable for development (Step 3). Step 3: Classify land into types Each of the thousands of individual pieces of land in the land supply inventory are then classified as one of four types of land based on the data characteristics (e.g. comprehensive plan designation, wetlands) of that piece of land. The four types of land are protected, committed, vacant' and developed. Then, the acres of the four land types are categorized by comprehensive plan designation to provide a total number of acres by land type and by plan designation for all of Eugene's 34,503 acre UGB. Out of the 34,503 acres in the UGB, 22,341 are designated for residential. The data layers that make up the four types of land and the total acreage of the land types by plan designation are as follows: • Protected land is reserved to protect natural resources or because of natural hazards and therefore has no development or redevelopment potential. For purposes of this Study, lands defined as "protected" include the following: o Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodway (Flood Insurance Rate Map - FIRM, 1999 publication year ) o Eugene's Adopted Goal 5 Riparian Corridors and Surrounding Protection Areas o Eugene's Adopted Goal 5 Wetlands and Surrounding Protection Areas o Eugene's Adopted Goal 5 Upland Wildlife Habitat and Surrounding Protection Areas o Eugene's Adopted Goal 6 Water Quality Protection Areas o Historic and Cultural Resources (City Landmark, National Register, or Primary Ranked Cultural Resource) o Natural Resource (NR) Zoned Areas o Wildlife Habitat (federally listed threatened and endangered species) o Slopes of 30% or greater' • Committed land is devoted to special uses like parks, schools, government offices, cemeteries, and rights-of-way and therefore has no development or redevelopment potential. Based on tax ' This means that in the geospatial model, a lot or subarea is not identical with a tax lot. Instead, it is a subarea of a tax lot that shares certain characteristics. For instance, if a lot has more than one plan designation, barring any other differing characteristics the tax lot would be split into subareas by at minimum the number of plan designations on the site. 5 The geoprocessing model uses the title of "undeveloped" rather than "vacant." Vacant is used here for consistency with State law terminology. ' As found during the Eugene Comprehensive Lands Assessment analysis, historically no residential development has occurred above 30%. Since some residential development occurs above 25%, slopes 30% or greater were assumed to be too constrained for development rather than using 25% as allowed by OAR 660-008-0005(2).
