As detailed in the project charter and public <br />involvement plan, this project will be completed in four phases. Phase 1 included outreach to stakeholders, an <br />external land use code audit, and an internal legal analysis that helped to identify the range of issues to be <br />addressed within the scope of this land use code update. Phase 1 culminated in the Summary of Key Issues <br />report. Phase 2, the current phase, used the Summary of Key Issues to engage stakeholders in a series of <br />Working Group meetings where participants dove into the details of the code, responded to possible concepts <br />and brainstormed new options. <br />About This Report <br />As part of Phase 2 outreach, a series of four working group meetings were held to engage stakeholders in <br />discussions related to 19 significant key issues identified during Phase 1 of the Clear & Objective Housing <br />Approval Criteria Update. Over the course of Phase 2, the interested parties list has grown to over 80 members. <br />Meeting invites and reminders were sent to all interested parties. In addition, an outreach flyer was provided to <br />various City committees such as the Housing Policy Board, the Sustainability Commission, Historic Review Board, <br />and the Active Transportation Committee and project updates were included monthly in the Envision Eugene e- <br />newsletter that reaches over 1,500 community members. Over 40 stakeholders representing neighborhood <br />associations and residents, housing builders and developers, design professionals, housing advocates and <br />affordable housing providers attended some or all of the working group meetings.
