CITY OF EUGENE PARKS AND RECREATION SDC PROJECT PLAN, 2018CITY OF EUGENE PARKS AND RECREATION SDC PROJECT PLAN, 2020 4 SDC PROJECT LIST OVERVIEW The adoption of the Parks and Recreation System Plan in July of 2018 established a new project list and prioritized project implementation . That project list was used as the basis for the SDC project list included in this plan . The subset of projects and project costs included in this plan are those needed to increase the capacity of the parks and recreation system to serve the next twenty years of population growth . PARKS AND RECREATION PRIORITIES The Parks and Recreation System Plan identified four core principles: •Care for and make the most of what we have •Serve the entire community •Create more connections •Build better partnerships With these principles as a foundation, a set of criteria was developed to prioritize parks and recreation capital projects . The criteria were applied to each project, taking into account the unique needs of each planning district and triple bottom line considerations of social equity, environmental health, and economic prosperity . The resulting priority ranking is an indication of the time-frame for project completion . A pr iority 1 rating is proposed for completion in the 1-10 year time frame and a priority 2 rating for the 11-20 year time frame . The 20- year planning horizon is based on data from 2015–2035 . Projects with multiple ratings (i .e . 1/ 2) are proposed for completion in phases due to either high dollar costs or projects that are more practically implemented over a number of years, such as trails and property acquisition . PROJECT COSTS Costs for each of the SDC eligible projects are shown in the project list tables with a break down that shows the estimated costs and percentage of costs eligible to be funded from SDC improvement fees in the “Growth % of Total Project Cost” column . The costs shown on the project list tables were included in the Parks and Recreation System Plan and reflect planning-level estimates. All costs are rounded and provided in 2016 dollars.
