Consistent with this <br />direction, the purpose of these amendments is to facilitate compact urban development by <br />changing land use regulations to better align with Envision Eugene. <br /> <br />These amendments are also necessary as part of the City’s strategy to accommodate the city's 20 <br />year need for commercial and multi-family housing inside the current urban growth boundary <br />(UGB). Specifically, these amendments are part of a package of land use efficiency strategies the <br />City is relying on to accommodate approximately 400 commercial jobs and 1,600 multi-family <br />homes inside the UGB by increasing the likelihood of redevelopment in the downtown, along <br />transit corridors and in core commercial areas. <br /> <br />The package of amendments cover the topic areas listed below. A summary of the amendments is <br />provided in Attachment A, and the proposed ordinance is provided as Attachment B. <br /> <br />1. Housing in Commercial Zones <br />2. Surface Parking Limitation in C-3 Zone <br />3. Large Commercial Facilities Standards in Downtown <br />4. Commercial Landscaping Standards <br />5. Nodal Development (/ND) Overlay Zone <br />6. Transit Oriented Development (/TD) Overlay Zone <br />7. Traffic Impact Analysis/Level of Service within Downtown <br />8. General Commercial Standards (housekeeping) <br /> <br />S:\CMO\2013 Council Agendas\M130715\S1307151.doc <br /> <br />
