The legal steps and current status of identifying <br />potential Urban Growth Boundary expansion areas will also be addressed. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />This work session is part of an ongoing conversation about Eugene’s 20-year land need for all land <br />types, including: <br /> <br /> <br />Public and semi-public <br /> <br /> <br />Single-family housing <br /> <br /> <br />Multi-family housing <br /> <br /> <br />Commercial <br /> <br /> <br />Industrial <br /> <br />This work session will focus on land need related to public and semi-public uses and single-family <br />housing. <br /> <br />Public and Semi-Public Lands <br />Public and semi-public lands include uses such as parks, schools, public facilities and religious <br />institutions. Some of the land need for these uses is planned to be included inside the current Urban <br />Growth Boundary (UGB), while other uses specifically require a UGB expansion to address the need. <br />Those uses requiring a specific UGB expansion include Golden Gardens Community Park, Santa Clara <br />Community Park, and Bethel School District. Attachment A provides additional information on the <br />amount and locations of these uses. <br /> <br />Those public and semi-public uses that are planned to be included inside the current UGB may still <br />trigger a UGB expansion to off-set the use of land that is needed inside the current UGB and currently <br />planned for other uses. Attachment A also identifies the types of public uses that are planned to be <br />included inside the current UGB. <br /> <br />For semi-public uses, the Eugene Comprehensive Lands Assessment initially projected a future need of <br />an additional 45 acres for religious institutions. However, as a result of the partially vacant lands <br />analysis, it has been determined that there is enough partially vacant land that is currently owned by <br />churches to accommodate future growth. <br /> <br /> S:\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M111109\S111109A.doc <br /> <br />
