Community Partnerships Members of the community have been very involved in this plan concern and commitment for a healthy downtown is very strong. The community involvement has been extensive and multifaceted, ranging from city initiated events such as design workshops for the Downtown Vision and Courthouse District Concept Plan, to citizen initiated discussions, such as the City Club series on downtown planning. Citizens have been involved in both long term vision discussions and specific design decisions. A list of relevant projects and planning documents is included below. Numerous organizations and agencies have partnered with the City in the development and review of the updated Downtown Plan. These include EWEB, University of Oregon, Lane Transit District, and the Oregon Department of Transportation. These organizations have overlapping interests and commitment, and all have a stake in healthy downtown. Relationship to Other Plans and Studies This plan updates and replaces the Eugene Downtown Plan, approved in 1984. This plan is a refinement to the Eugene Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The plan is generally based on the Downtown Vision, which was approved in 2000. The policies included in this Plan will direct future actions, including land use decisions and public and private investment in downtown. The Downtown Plan is not the only document guiding actions and decisions in downtown. Other adopted refinement or functional plans, such as the Central Area Transportation Study and the Skinner Butte Master Plan, also apply downtown, in addition to city-wide documents such as the Growth Management Policies and the Stormwater Basin Master Plans. As appropriate, policies and policy direction from other recent plans and studies are reflected in the policies in this plan. A list of those planning documents is provided below; adopted policy documents are shown in bold. These documents provide a finer level of information and detail about particular areas or project downtown, and are available through the City of Eugene Department of Planning and Community Development. Where the policies of this plan conflict with adopted policies in previous plans, this most recent plan prevails. 1. Central Area Transportation Study (anticipated adoption in 2004) 2.
