Land Need for Industrial Lands On March 9, the council directed staff to begin analyzing lands outside the current urban growth boundary (UGB) for industrial land development and to schedule a council work session to review the results of this analysis. Staff and members of the Community Resource Group Economic Development subcommittee reviewed maps and information associated with possible expansion areas outside the UGB. Based on this work, a preliminary wetlands analysis has been completed for a specific area of northwest Eugene. Letters have also been mailed to property owners in this area to identify interests and concerns. The results of this work to-date will be reviewed at the work session. Next Steps Public Open Houses th A summer open house series is being held in the Atrium Building at 99 West 10 Avenue on the first Wednesdays of July, August and September from 3 - 6 p.m. The first open house, on July 6, provided an opportunity for the public to review maps and information related to single-family housing. The August 3 open house will focus on industrial land strategies and potential expansion areas; and the September 7 event will feature updated information on both single-family and industrial land need and expansion. Housing Land Need Work will continue over the summer to refine the single-family land need based on additional analysis and public outreach. A City Council public hearing will be held in the fall to invite comment on the single-family land need recommendation and any resulting need for a UGB expansion. Industrial Land Need Work will continue over the summer to refine the industrial land need and the analysis of potential expansion areas. Conversations with property owners in these areas will also continue through the summer, as requested. Technical Resource Group The Technical Resource Group is expected to continue its work, reviewing multi-family, mixed-use and commercial capacity assumptions; industrial land need analysis; and monitoring and implementation issues that address many of the strategies outlined in the Adaptable and Flexible Implementation pillar.
