RESOLUTION NO. 4994 A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE EUGENE COMPREHENSIVE LANDS ASSESSMENT PROJECT’S BUILDABLE LAND INVENTORY, ANALYSIS OF HOUSING NEED AND 20-YEAR NEED DETERMINATION. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. In 2007, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3337 requiring that the City of Eugene establish an urban growth boundary (“UGB”) that does not include the City of Springfield. The first steps in the process required by House Bill 3337 are the completion of an inventory of Eugene’s buildable land supply, a determination of the housing capacity of that land, an analysis of housing need to determine of the number of units and amount of land needed to meet Eugene’s 20-year housing need. B. Based on Oregon laws, rules and judicial orders, the City is prohibited from making a final decision to adopt the inventory, analysis and determination discussed in A, above, until the City can demonstrate that its new, Eugene-only Urban Growth Boundary will contain sufficient land to accommodate the identified 20-year need for housing. C. The Eugene Comprehensive Land Assessment (“ECLA”) project has completed draft documents constituting an inventory of Eugene’s buildable land supply, a determination of the housing capacity of that land, an analysis of housing need and a determination of the number of units and amount of land needed to meet an estimated 20-year housing need. D. By April, 2010, the City Council intends to finish its review and refinement of the ECLA inventory of Eugene’s buildable land supply, determination of housing capacity, analysis of housing need and determination of the number of units and amount of land needed to meet an estimated 20-year housing need. The April 2010 action will constitute an interim step in the longer process of adopting a new, Eugene-only UGB that is planned to conclude by the end of February 2011. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: Section 1 . The City Council hereby accepts the draft inventory of Eugene’s buildable land supply, determination of the housing capacity of that land, analysis of housing need and determination of the number of units and amount of land needed to meet Eugene’s 20-year housing need that have been prepared through the Eugene Comprehensive Land Assessment project. These documents are attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution. The City Council intends to review and refine those materials in April, 2010. Resolution - Page 1 of 2
