This study addresses Oregon House Bill 3337, which <br />directed the City of Eugene to undertake a study of residential lands sufficiency. The scope was <br />expanded by the City Council to assess all land types, including employment lands (commercial and <br />industrial) and public/semi-public land needs. In April, the council held a work session on ECLA to <br />review many of the assumptions associated with the analysis. This work session is an opportunity for the <br />council to review the remaining assumptions. <br /> <br />Project Update <br />land supplylandneed <br />Work has continued on the and (demand) analysis since the City Council’s April <br />27, 2009, work session. A summary of these components is presented in Attachment A. The current <br />land supply <br /> is being determined through an analysis of lands within the UGB that are currently vacant <br />or otherwise able to accommodate additional growth. This analysis continues to be refined and will be <br />presented to the council at a future date. <br /> <br />land need <br />The (demand) is being determined through an analysis of historic trends, current policies and <br />forecasts for employment, housing and public lands. Recent work on land need includes analysis of <br />preliminary data and assumptions related to the employment land needs, residential land needs, and <br />public/semi-public land needs. All preliminary data and assumptions have now been presented to the <br />groups that are advising staff on this, the Agency Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the <br />Community Advisory Committee (CAC). Attachment B provides a list of committee members. <br /> <br />Key Assumptions <br />The analysis to establish baseline assumptions for land need is built on: <br />? <br /> <br />key assumptions that are guided by state statute; <br />? <br /> <br />historical and recent trends; <br />? <br /> <br />recent data and forecasts (city, state, etc.); and <br />? <br /> <br />current policies. <br /> Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M090810\S090810A.doc <br /> <br />
