A Few Words from the Planning DirectorDear Friends,City planning is a way of thinking about our future and making decisions about how we handle change. That’s what makes planning so challenging, and at the same time so important. We all share responsibility for creating our future together. As your planning team, we want to make it easier for you by taking the mystery out of planning. We want to help you understand when and how you can get involved to make the most difference, and what to expect when you do. We want everyone who cares about our future to be as engaged as possible, to have the information you need, and to feel supported as a community. Looking back on what we’ve accomplished together in 2017, I’m hopeful we’re on a path that reflects our shared values. We set a new urban growth boundary for Eugene that will bring 3,000 new jobs to the Bethel area while promoting environmental justice. We kicked off a major planning effort for the River Road and Santa Clara neighborhoods in lock step with our neighborhood leaders. And we reviewed dozens of development proposals, working hard to support everyone involved and implement our vision on the ground. None of this would be possible without hundreds of people like you who make time in your busy lives to think about our future and help make important decisions. This coming year will be filled with many more opportunities. The more people get involved and stay informed, the more real our vision will become. We look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely, <br />Robin Hostick <br />Planning Annual Report 2018 3October 24, 2018, Joint Work Session – Item 1
