15,000 homes would be required over the next 20 years; 10,000 of those homes could be accommodated <br />within the UGB. Of the 5,000 that could not be accommodated within the UGB, past trends suggested <br />that 4,000 would be provided in the form of single - family houses and 1,000 would be provided in the form <br />of multi - family housing. She said the City had the ability to reexamine those trends. Ms. Taylor was <br />disturbed by the use of past trends and thought the State requirement that the City project housing demand <br />in 20 years was outmoded because there could be a lot of change in 20 years. <br />Ms. Taylor did not see any point to rushing the process and did not understand Mr. Clark's comments that <br />delay served some interests because she did not know whose interests those were. She believed the City <br />needed to work on changing the law that required it to do a 20 -year plan because things change in 20 <br />years. <br />Mr. Pryor said he could appreciate Mr. Clark's frustration about the pace of the project and did not want <br />the pace of the project to be a deliberate impediment. He wanted a pace that produced the best product. <br />Mr. Pryor acknowledged that unlike some, he did not see a clear end to the process, and was willing to <br />move at a slower pace while he attempted to figure out what the vision was. His expectation was that <br />people would work together sincerely. <br />Mr. Clark wanted the process to be done correctly and wanted the City's expenditure of time and money <br />to produce something that was legally defensible and helpful to growing the community in the way it <br />wanted to grow. The choices the council made now were the keys to achieving that goal. Speaking to Mr. <br />Zelenka's remarks about seeking a legislative remedy, he suggested that the City could accomplish the <br />same thing by proposing to the State that Eugene be required to do more frequent periodic reviews. <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Clark about the State's response to the region's use of performance <br />measures in TransPlan, Ms. Gardner indicated that more discussion would occur with the Land <br />Conservation and Development Commission in July, and staff would report to the council following that <br />meeting. She believed that from past conversations with DLCD staff, the region was on target with its <br />performance measures. Mr. Clark expressed some surprise at that. He said that he had been concerned <br />that the work had been insufficient and that the community was already behind as it started to revise the <br />transportation plan. <br />Speaking to Ms. Taylor's remarks, Mr. Zelenka said he thought 20 -year planning was very good but <br />reiterated his call for triggers throughout the planning process. <br />Mr. Zelenka wondered if there was a way for staff to identify the most useful work tasks related to items <br />14 -19 and include those in the process. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the work session at 7:17 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />,6 tt� <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council May 24, 2010 Page 7 <br />Work Session <br />
