Chapter 3: Expected Impact, Including Fiscal Impact of the Plan, in Light of Added Services or Increased Population. Development within the Project Area is not expected to have a significant impact on the 4-J School system. The zoning criteria of C2 and C3 does not encourage residential housing. The past experience shows residential complexes developed around the pro- ject area have focused on adult housing. Based on this experience, there should be no or minimal impact on the local kindergarten through 12th grade schools. The added adult population created by such housing projects may impact Lane Community Col- lege, particularly the Downtown campus, with increased registration. The Fourth Amendment follows the passage of Ballot Measure 50 and its implementa- tion rules. In the Measure 50 environment, taxing bodies "forego" revenue produced by the growth in values over a renewal area's frozen base. The property tax impacts of carrying out this amended Plan are shown in Chapter 9 of this Report. Projects within the Renewal Plan have been chosen for the way in which they support various planning efforts for the downtown area, such as the Downtown Plan. These planning documents were based on assumptions about the expected need for new and improved services due to population growth and other factors. The Renewal Plan is expected to facilitate improvements within the district, according to the overafl planning efforts for the area. One of the principal objectives of the Renewal Plan is to improve the existing taxable property. Areas adjacent to the plan area are also expected to become more viable. During the period of time when the Renewal Plan is in effect, property values in the district are estimated to increase by over $160 million. The development site is expected to have a smafl amount of residential development, but it is not expected to significantly impact the school system. Projects in the plan address the expected impacts of area development on police services, transportation, utilities, and other public services. The Urban Renewal Agency will use tax increment revenues to carry out the plan. The use of tax increment revenues will affect the property tax revenues and bonded debt tax rates of other taxing jurisdictions that share assessed value with Eugene's Urban Renewal Agency. The tax impacts of the Renewal Plan are discussed in detail in Chap- ter 9 of this report. 11
