TransPlan Land Use Policy #1: Nodal Development. Apply the nodal development strategy in areas selected by each jurisdiction that have identified potential for this type of transportation-efficient land use pattern. Program Consistency with the Policy. The areas identified by the jurisdictions that adopted TransPlan (including the City of Eugene) as having potential for creation of a transportation-efficient land use pattern are shown on the TransPlan map entitled "Potential Nodal Development Areas for the Eugene-Springfield Metro Area". (See Exhibit J-I) Those same areas are shown on the map currently used for information about the mixed use (nodal) development program entitled "Potential Mixed Use Centers". (See Exhibit J-2) While the map title has changed to reflect the program name change enacted by the Eugene Planning Commission in 2004, the areas shown within the Eugene UGB are the same as those shown on the TransPlan map, with one exception. That exception is the Walnut Station area (labeled 1A on the Potential Mixed Use Centers map) that was added by the Council following the adoption of TransPlan. The shapes of some of the areas have also changed to reflect changes in the boundaries of these mixed use areas that were recommended by the Planning Commission and enacted by the Council. TransPlan Land Use Policy #2: Support for Nodal Development. Support application of the nodal development strategy in designated areas through information, technical assistance, or incentives. Program Consistency with the Policy. City staff has made considerable efforts to improve the information base for mixed use development over the past year and consistently offer technical assistance as needed. Incentives for the program are quite limited, however. · Incentives. Very few incentives are offered for the mixed use (nodal) development program. Those few that are offered are largely concentrated in the downtown area. · Brochures. The City applied for and received a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and Development to produce a series of brochures on various elements of the mixed use development program. While two brochures are still in production, the following brochures have been produced under the general title "Mixed Use Development in Eugene." © Frequently Asked Questions (See Exhibit 1-2) Design Principles for More Livable Neighborhoods (See Exhibit 1-3t © Infill and Redevelopment © Transportation Efficient Development © Higher-Density Housing Two other brochures have not yet been completed but are nearing completion: © Multi-Modal Street Design
