Small Group Questionnaire <br />Please complete this questionnaire in your small group and turn it in before you leave tonight. Each <br />table will explore a challenging issue related to one of the 5 topic areas – Transportation, Land Use, <br />Community, Economic Development, and Parks & Natural Resources. <br />I. LAND USE <br />Q1. In the next 20 years, approximately 40,000 people will be moving to Eugene. Although it is difficult <br />to predict the real estate market, the River Road and Santa Clara neighborhoods could absorb more <br />than 4,000 of those new residents. How are we going to provide housing for the people who are <br />anticipated to move into River Road and Santa Clara over the next 20 years? Neighbors value both <br />agricultural land and affordable housing. The following scenarios address these values by increasing <br />density in the urban area, also known as the urban growth boundary. <br />Read the scenarios below and check () the option you prefer. <br /> a. DISPERSED throughout the neighborhoods, development will continue to occur based on existing <br />development standards, which allow higher densities than what was built in the past. <br />•Continue existing pattern of Denser Housing Types throughout RR-SC (note: existing <br />regulations allow for 14 homes per acre) <br />•Continue Multi-Story Apartments along River Road <br />•Maintain Single Family Houses and Backyard Cottages throughout the River Road and Santa <br />Clara neighborhoods (RR-SC) <br /> b. Concentrated ALONG RIVER ROAD. Multi-story Apartments, as well as buildings with residential <br />and businesses mixed together, are concentrated along River Road at major intersections with <br />access to businesses and transit service. <br />•Reduce Denser Housing Types throughout RR-SC <br />•Increase Multi-Story Apartments along River Road <br />•Maintain Single Family Houses and Backyard Cottages throughout RR-SC <br /> c. Concentrated ALONG MAJOR STREETS. New housing is provided in strategic locations, along <br />major streets or adjacent to existing businesses. <br />•Increase Denser Housing Types along major streets <br />•Reduce Multi-Story Apartments and increase smaller 4-unit apartment buildings along major <br />streets <br />•Maintain Single Family Houses and Backyard Cottages throughout RR-SC <br /> d. None of the above. My preferred scenario is on the back. <br />Comments: <br />November 19, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
