I.I. Seasonally appropriate investments <br />12. Triple bottom line (sustainability) <br />13. Urban form considerations <br />Ms. Weiss referred to Attachment B, which included a list of specific work tasks associated with the <br />Envision Eugene project. <br />Ms. Weiss noted the items not recommended for inclusion: <br />14. Parcel - specific plan designations <br />15. Zoning /plan designation consistency <br />16 Dynamic modeling of residential development <br />17. Further natural resource protections <br />18. Further parkland needs <br />19. Adopt Parks Plan as refinement plan <br />Ms. Weiss said that if the council chose to expand the scope of work, there would be time line <br />implications. She invited questions. <br />Mayor Piercy recalled that past planning processes envisioned a population that was not achieved in the <br />planning horizon. She asked if there was a way to trigger various events as population targets were <br />achieved. Ms. Jerome said that staff was working with the Department of Land Conservation and <br />Development (DLCD) on the issue. The law does not include a provision to accomplish that; she <br />suggested the way to accomplish it was to build in a shorter time period for check -ins. For example, the <br />council could build in a check -in during the next periodic review. She pointed out that it would require <br />County concurrence to change that number. Staff continued to discuss the issue with DLCD staff. <br />Mayor Piercy asked if there was a way to switch out land within the urban growth boundary (UGB) with <br />land outside the UGB. Ms. Jerome indicated that she believed that was possible. <br />Mayor Piercy suggested that the public did not follow the work of the Planning Commission to the degree <br />it did the work of the City Council, and asked how the City could help the community focus on the <br />Planning Commission phase of the process to better engage it. Ms. Gardner said the City was attempting <br />to do that and reported that the commission was seeing more attendance at its meetings. The commission <br />had not received much public comment, but generally 12 to 15 people were present to hear its discussions. <br />Mayor Piercy wanted to see more people in attendance. <br />Mayor Piercy hoped the City tracked its experience with the triple bottom line tool so it could show other <br />communities how it worked as she considered the tool to be quite innovative and potentially useful to <br />those communities as well. <br />Speaking to population projections that indicated 34,000 more people would move to Lane County, Mr. <br />Clark suggested the community would grow up, out, or a combination of the two. He believed it would be <br />a combination of growing both up and out. <br />While he commended the staff work in general, Mr. Clark expressed concern that staff did not plan to <br />include item 17 - Further natural resource protections - which precluded any analysis of natural resources <br />such as drainageways outside the city limits. He said that appeared to suggest that all the undeveloped <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council May 24, 2010 Page 5 <br />Work Session <br />
