INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />1.12.3.2Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan (Preliminary Draft, October 2015) <br />The Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan is Eugene’s city specific comprehensive land use plan. This plan <br />guides the City in its land use planning to meet future growth needs within Eugene’s urban growth <br />boundary. The policy direction in the plan is based on the community’s vision and is intended to address <br />the needs and desires of Eugene’s residents, as well as the requirements of Oregon’s Statewide Planning <br />Goals. <br /> <br />The Eugene Airport Master Plan is specifically recognized in the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan, and <br />land use, as it relates to airport activities, is addressed in the plan under chapters discussing economic <br />development and transportation. The airport is identified as an economic asset and the plan <br />“encourage(s) maximum use of industrial land by businesses that rely on access and adjacency to <br />multimodal (rail, highway, airport) freight infrastructure and services.” To that effect, the plan protects and <br />retains areas around the airport (within City of Eugene boundaries) with rail access for a variety of heavy <br />industrial development. Furthermore, the plan encourages the development of transportation facilities <br />which “improve access to employment areas and improve freight movement capabilities” including <br />projects found in the Eugene Airport Master Plan. The Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan serves as <br />the transportation element of the Envision Eugene comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />The Envision Eugene plan is currently being updated (as of July 2016) but when finalized, is anticipated to <br />include a recommended UGB expansion east and southeast of Eugene Airport. The expansion includes the <br />preservation of large lots zoned for light-medium industrial use in the northernmost portion, as well as <br />campus industrial, government and education, neighborhood commercial, and parks and open space in <br />the southernmost portion. Figure 1-18 shows the preliminary proposed land use in what is called the <br />“Clear Lake Area: Recommended UGB Expansion”. It should be noted that, at the time of this writing, <br />updates to the Envision Eugene plan are still in process and the proposed UGB expansion has not been <br />adopted by city council. As it stands, the proposed UGB expansion and associated zoning are in alignment <br />with Airport surrounding land use goals. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 1-45 <br /> <br />
