feasibility and costs of providing water within potential UGB expansion areas. As the potential expansion area analysis is refined, the city will be asking for more detailed analysis on utility needs and costs. EWEB and the city will also need to identify amendments to facilities plans to ensure that land within the new UGB can be cost-effectively served. Key Growth Strategies and Urban Growth Boundary Expansion As found in the Recommendation, housing and job capacity provided on vacant and underutilized land as well as through new strategies and actions can accommodate most of Eugen current UGB. However, a portion of the land need will also be accommodated through a UGB expansion. The Recommendation includes the following key themes: Accommodate all of projected commercial and multi-family needs inside the current UGB. Focus redevelopment efforts for more commercial jobs and multi-family housing on key transit corridors and in core commercial areas. See the key transit corridors and core commercial areas on the attached map. Encourage reuse and redevelopment of existing industrial lands. In addition, expand the UGB for large lot industrial uses. Approximately 12 sites 10-100 acres in size will be accommodated through a UGB expansion. Land in the Clear Lake Road area, adjacent to the airport, will be studied for suitability for lot size, natural resource constraints and other site characteristics. See potential expansion areas for industrial jobs on the attached map. Note: the Council also asked for an analysis of the pros and cons of bringing the airport into the UGB. Protect existing single-family neighborhoods by continuing work on design standards and finding opportunity sites for higher density housing. Complete Area Planning in South Willamette, the university area and in River Road/Santa Clara. Re-designate some areas from Medium Density th Residential to Low Density Residential, including a large part of the Crow Road/West 11 Area, and complete high level master planning for that area. In addition, expand the UGB to accommodate our remaining single-family land needs. Approximately 910 single-family homes will be accommodated through a UGB expansion. Land in the Clear Lake Road area, the Bailey Hill/Gimpl Hill area, the Russel Creek (LCC) area and the DAG Trust Property (adjacent the SW corner of the UGB) will be studied for potential UGB expansion. See the expansion areas for single-family homes on the attached map (note: this map has not been updated to reflect study of the Russel Creek area and Dag Trust Property for potential single-family expansion). Expand the UGB to develop two community parks and to include the Bethel School District property. See the expansion areas for parks and schools on the attached map.
