SECTION 2 Study Area Characteristics <br />2.3.2.1 Buildout Land Use Within the UGB <br />This area includes both the current city limits and the unincorporated UGB, totaling 6,071 acres <br />(58% of basin). 1,217 acres are vacant and considered available for development. For the <br />purposes of this report, the term "vacant acres" refers to lands within the UGB that are expected <br />to develop to urban uses. As shown in Table 2 -3, land use categories with significant remaining <br />vacant acres include: industrial and commercial - industrial mixed (641 acres), low- density <br />residential (326 acres), medium - density residential (32 acres), and commercial and residential - <br />commercial mixed (20 acres). <br />2.3.2.2 Projected Land Use Outside the UGB <br />Forty -two percent of the River Road Santa Clara basin (4,387 acres) is located outside the UGB. <br />All of the area outside the UGB in this basin will remain rural and land uses will be restricted to <br />the Metro Plan designations as shown in Table 2 -3. Areas outside the UGB are not permitted to <br />develop to urban uses and, therefore, "vacant" acres do not apply here. <br />Table 2 -3 <br />Buildout Land Use General <br />General Plan Designation <br />Total <br />Designated Acres <br />Vacant* (2006) for Future <br />Urban Development <br />Inside UGB <br />Low-Density Residential <br />2,855 <br />326 <br />Medium-Density Residential <br />168 <br />34 <br />Commercial and Residential - Commercial Mixed Use <br />135 <br />20 <br />Industrial and Commercial - Industrial Mixed <br />1,459 <br />641 <br />Parks and Open Space <br />37 <br />9 <br />Government, Education, and Research <br />127 <br />4 <br />A hculture and Aghculture/Airport Reserve <br />2 <br />0.4 <br />Streets (R.O.W.) ** <br />1,288 <br />183 <br />Subtotal <br />6,071 <br />1,217 <br />Outside UGB <br />Rural Residential <br />101 <br />0 <br />Low-Density Residential <br />0.2 <br />0 <br />Industrial and Commercial - Industrial Mixed <br />23 <br />0 <br />Government, Education, and Research <br />2,034 <br />0 <br />Parks and Open Space <br />7 <br />0 <br />A hculture and Aghculture/Airport Reserve <br />2,114 <br />0 <br />Outside Metro Plan Boundaiy <br />16 <br />0 <br />Streets (R.O.W.) ** <br />91 <br />0 <br />Subtotal <br />4,386 <br />0 <br />Grand Total <br />10,458 <br />Source: LCOG and City of Eugene Geographic Information System, 2006 <br />*For purposes ofthis report, vacant acres apply to lands only within the urban growth boundary. <br />* *Notes: Streets (Right of Way). The Metro Plan does not have a "Streets" Plan designation. This amount was estimated based on the <br />difference between total designated area and total basin size. In undeveloped areas, 15 percent of the land area was put into the Streets (Right of <br />Way) category to account for streets that will serve future designated development. <br />0:\25695978 Eugene RR -SC Final Basin P1an\Master P1anTINAL 2- 2010\Master_Plan 3- 11- 10_FINAL_ Word _Version.doc 2-10 <br />
