1. Inventory Current Stock of Residential Land. A city is required to demonstrate that its comprehensive plan provides sufficient buildable lands within the urban growth boundary to accommodate estimated housing needs for 20 years (ORS 197.296(2)). Cities must develop an inventory of vacant, partially vacant, and redevelopable lands that may be developed for future residential uses (ORS 197.296(3)). Eugene's 2012 Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) is set out in Part I of the Envision Eugene Residential Land Supply Study. The BLI was prepared by the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) and City of Eugene staff. The methods used and results of the inventory were intensely reviewed by multiple stakeholder groups, through the Envision Eugene processes and coordinated with staff from the Department of Land Conservation and Development. 2. Forecast Residential Growth. Cities are required to base their residential land studies on a 20 -year coordinated population forecast. Eugene relies on the coordinated population forecast for Eugene adopted by Lane County in June 2009, consistent with Oregon Laws 2013 c.574 §3. The forecast is located in the Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan Area Plan. 3. Conduct a Housing Needs Analysis. Cities with a population of 25,000 or more are required to conduct an analysis of housing need by housing type and density range to determine the number of needed dwelling units and amount of land needed for each needed housing type by the end of the 20 -year planning period. This document, prepared by ECONorthwest, constitutes Eugene's Housing Needs Analysis (HNA). It is based on the detailed, technical analysis performed by ECONorthwest in coordination with City staff and officials, the Envision Eugene Technical Resource Group, and interested community members. 4. Determine Residential Land Sufficiency. Cities must compare the need for residential land (Step 3) with the capacity of buildable residential land within the UGB (Step 1) to determine whether there is enough land in the UGB to meet expected housing needs.
