Ms. Piercy said questions had been raised about the location of industrial land and whether changes in land <br />designations were necessary. Mr. Dedrick agreed that one approach to looking at land need was to examine <br />the current land designations, particularly commercial and industrial land. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor appreciated the baseline figures that would be moved forward to inform Envision Eugene. He <br />recalled the neighborhood character discussions that affirmed envisioning the community related to more <br />than just an acreage count. He was encouraged with ECLA as an incremental step toward the envisioning <br />process. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Zelenka, Mr. Dedrick said the base employment forecast was adjusted <br />downward to account for jobs lost in the community. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka said it was appropriate for Envision Eugene to take a "reduce, reuse and recycle" approach to <br />land in the community. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked if the current growth management policies would be replaced as a result of Envision <br />Eugene. Ms. Gardner said there would be an opportunity to add new policies that addressed land use <br />efficiencies. Mr. Ruiz assured the council there was no intent to change current growth management <br />policies, only consider whether new policies were needed to avoid the need to expand the urban growth <br />boundary (UGB). <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked if ECLA had considered the trend toward telecommuting. She also commented that <br />vacant and underutilized commercial land existed throughout the community. Mr. Dedrick said <br />telecommuting was factored into ECLA assumptions regarding land need. He said there were 98 acres of <br />vacant commercial land, primarily in smaller parcels; ECLA did not extensively analyze the issue of <br />underutilized commercial land as that was a somewhat subjective assessment, but allowed for some <br />redevelopment of currently developed commercial land. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor preferred the corrected motion, which removed the word “basis” and simply indicated ECLA <br />data would be used in the Envision Eugene process. She noted a similar language change was needed in the <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz asked if ECLA had considered the 360 acres of the railroad yard. Mr. Dedrick said that land had <br />been an early consideration, but the railroad had been unable to give any type of assurance that the land <br />would be available during the 20-year planning period. The land was currently listed as committed to <br />another use and unavailable for development. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark said the CAC’s drainage-way findings indicated that the results of Public Works tasks would be <br />taken into account if and when they were available, but that meant if the work was not completed the <br />inability to build on those lands would never be considered. Ms. Jerome replied that any land use action had <br />to include findings. If land in the inventory was rendered unbuildable by the regulations Public Work <br />developed, that would be deducted from the land supply. She said any land removed from the buildable <br />lands inventory had to be replaced under State law. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark disagreed with the CAC’s findings related to transportation, specifically the second <br />recommendation under Item 7, Traffic Impact Analysis/Transportation Planning Rule. He said an <br />assessment of Beltline by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) two years ago, indicated that it <br />was a failing facility in terms of its capacity. He questioned how vacant property in North Eugene could be <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 21, 2010 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
