Table 1. Distribution of Projected Jobs by Size Class Industrial Site Size Class Percent of New Jobs Approximate Jobs (Suitable Buildable Acres) in Size Class in Size Class >75 10% 1,126 50-75 11% 1,239 20-50 12% 1,351 10-20 12% 1,351 <10 55% 6,193 Total 100% 11,260 The density at which these industrial jobs will develop can be used to determine how many sites are needed. Past development in Eugene occurred at a density of between 6 and 14 employees per acre in light to heavy industrial developments. The following table utilizes the number of jobs in each size class, the average density of jobs and the range of site sizes in each class to determine how many sites would be needed. Once the current supply has been factored in (vacant, redevelopable and brownfield/assembly sites), any remaining need would have to be met through expansion. The following table summarizes this exercise: Table 2. Industrial Land Need Summary Size # of Land Land Needed Vacant Redev.

Two values in Table 2 have been revised by staff (based on work by the Technical Resource Group) since the Draft Proposal and the Land for Industrial Jobs Technical Summary were published. The number of redevelopment sites in the 10-20 acre size class has been changed from 2 to 3 sites and the number of brownfield sites in the 10-20 acre size class has been changed from 4 to 3 sites. These changes result in no net difference in the overall need from the draft proposal for the number of sites needed or the resulting acreage. With over 400 acres of vacant industrial sites <10 acres in size and many opportunities for redevelopment and infill of existing buildings that have vacant space, there is capacity on these lands for over 7,300 jobs. Since just under 6,200 jobs need to be accommodated, there is a surplus of land in this
