EUGENE CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> <br /> Work Session: River Road-Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan Project Update Meeting Date: March 9, 2020 Agenda Item Number: 1 Department: Planning and Development Staff Contact: Chelsea Hartman <br />www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5686 <br /> <br />ISSUE STATEMENT The River Road and Santa Clara Community Organizations, City and County staff, consultants and neighborhood volunteers have been working together since the spring of 2017 to create a neighborhood plan for the River Road and Santa Clara neighborhoods. The plan will focus on five topic areas—Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Parks and Natural Resources, and Community. This work session is an opportunity to hear an update on the neighborhood plan’s <br />Action Planning phase and the River Road Corridor Study. No action is requested; however, feedback is invited. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND The neighborhood planning project is divided into key phases (see below), with frequent opportunities for decision makers to learn about the project along the way. The Reaching Out, <br />Visioning and Neighborhood Priorities phases of the project were completed between fall 2017 and summer 2018. Through spring 2019, the Policy Development phase focused on the drafting of policies that relate to the vision and neighborhood priorities. The draft policies are organized under 18 high-level goals, which were written by the Community Advisory Committee (Attachment A) and vetted by topic area Working Groups, community volunteers who were able to dive deeper into specific work products to support the CAC. On May 15, 2019, City Council approved the draft goals and policies as a platform for moving into the Action Planning Phase. <br />Project Phases <br /> <br /> <br />Reaching Out Neighborhood <br />Visioning <br />Neighborhood <br />Priorities <br />Policy <br />Development <br />Action <br />Planning Adoption <br />CC Agenda - Page 1
