Direction on how to set the urban growth boundary (UGB) for 2032 was <br />provided by the City Council in 2015 and 2016 <br />housing, they specifically directed staff to begin longer term urban reserves planning, and to bring a <br />proposed urban reserve area back to Council for their consideration within two years of UGB <br />acknowledgement. Since the UGB was acknowledged by the state of Oregon in January 2018, staff is <br />targeting a deadline of January 2020 to provide the City Council and Board of Commissioners with an <br />urban reserves proposal to consider. After receiving direction, staff will move forward with the formal <br />adoption process. This project charter details the process envisioned for successful delivery of the <br />project. <br />What are Urban Reserves? <br />State law allows cities to designate lands outside the adopted UGB as urban reserves. This is a special <br />designation for lands outside the UGB that can be considered a first priority if and when a city needs to <br />expand its UGB for a growing population. State law allows cities to plan for up to 50 years of projected <br />population growth through urban reserves, meaning up to 30 years beyond the adopted (20-year) UGB. <br />Similar to a UGB, urban reserves are supposed to include land needed for housing and jobs, as well as <br />public lands such as parks, schools and other services. Land designated as urban reserves remains rural <br />expansion. <br />s urban growth boundary, adopted by Eugene and Lane County, is planned to accommodate <br />-2032. Based on the UGB horizon of <br />2032, urban reserves will identify the additional land that Eugene is likely to need between the <br />minimum (10) and maximum (30) years after 2032, or as late as 2062, as allowable under state law. <br />1 | Page <br /> <br />
