 Staff will perform further evaluation of compatibility and health concerns related to existing and planned industrial uses in the Clear Lake Road area.  Regarding strategy 1.b. under the Economic Opportunity pillar that identifies four 10 – 20-acre industrial sites for development inside the UGB through site consolidation and brownfield clean- up: This number should be revised to three 10 – 20-acre industrial sites. This change is further explained in Attachment B. Also at the May 16 work session, councilors made several requests for information to further inform decision-making. Responses to these requests are included as attachments to this agenda item summary (AIS), addressing the following topics:  the airport (addressing whether to include it in the UGB);  industrial land (responding to numerous questions);  housing mix (comparing the recommended 55/45 mix to a 50/50 mix); and  potential expansion areas (providing maps, including Russel Creek basin area) The council is asked to act on a motion that encompasses both the policy and technical aspects of the Envision Eugene work to-date. The pillars, strategies and actions included in the City Manager’s recommendation (with the modifications noted above), represents the direction that the community has envisioned and supports. From neighborhood livability to flexible and adaptable implementation, all of the pillars and strategies must be implemented to achieve the overall vision. The technical components described in Attachment E are based on state law requirements that must be addressed to move the process into the formal adoption phase of Envision Eugene. The motion before the council would direct staff to carry out this technical work consistent with the Envision Eugene vision. An additional work session is scheduled for June 13, 2012, to continue this discussion if necessary.
