ATTACHMENT A <br />? <br />Protected Lands – Lands reserved to protect natural resources or prevent the impact of natural <br /> <br />hazards. These lands prohibit all development or redevelopment. Examples of these include: <br />FEMA floodways <br /> <br />o <br />Goal 5 riparian and wetland areas and surrounding protection areas <br /> <br />o <br />West Eugene Wetlands and surrounding protection areas <br /> <br />o <br />Historic and cultural resources <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />? <br />Developed Lands – Lands which are not classified as developable. In general, these are tax lots <br /> <br />with an assessed value of more than $1,000 that includes structures and paved parking. <br /> <br />? <br />Developable Lands – Tax lots with no significant improvement present (an assessed value of less <br /> <br />than $1,000), identified as vacant and can be developed within the planning period. <br /> <br />Committed and protected lands account for land that is not developed because it is in use or due to <br />constraints that prohibit development. Some land is classified as developable but has partial <br />constraints. These partial constraints do not preclude development, but may reduce the overall <br />development capacity. The BLI identifies land with partial constraints. Partial constraints may include <br />the following: <br /> <br />? <br />Slope <br /> <br />? <br />100-year floodplains <br /> <br />? <br />Geologic hazards <br /> <br />? <br />Local Wetland Inventory (LWI) wetlands <br /> <br /> <br />The purpose of the BLI was to identify vacant, developable land. Subsequent analyses in ECLA estimate <br />residential redevelopment potential, residential land capacity, and employment site characteristics for <br />sites 10 acres and larger. These analyses include consideration of the partial constraints listed above. <br />The results of these analyses will be summarized in separate memoranda and in the final ECLA report. <br /> <br />Results <br /> <br />There are approximately 34,500 acres within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. This area is divided <br />into plan designations in the approximate proportions shown in Figure 1. The first step in determining <br />how much vacant developable land Eugene has is to remove all lands that are committed or protected <br />as defined above from Eugene’s total land base. Figure 2 provides a map of all committed and protected <br />acreage in the study area. These are lands considered to be unavailable for any future development. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
