West Broadway Project Update
The following motion (Councilor Zelenka's original motion plus a series of friendly

I move to select Beam and KWG as the developers for the West
Broadway project, and to direct the Agency Director to initiate
actions related to agreements with the developers; public process that
includes a citizen advisory committee with an independent urban
planner/facilitator whose work shall be completed by the end of
August and presented to the Agency in September; option
agreements; financial tools; and a relocation/transition plan, all
th
consistent with the Agency’s May 9 discussion, with all proposed
actions, other than option agreement renewals and extensions,
brought back to the Agency for final authorization. This motion
further directs the Agency Director to secure the services of a
qualified urban planner/facilitator to oversee the public process for
the West Broadway development site footprint, and to establish a
West Broadway Development Advisory Committee to work with a
qualified urban planner/facilitator, and the developers, to identify
preferred design elements, mix of uses, public open spaces, options
for parking, as well as a transition plan for existing businesses. The
Agency and the Advisory Committee would also seek additional
public input. The Advisory Committee shall be composed of 11
members, with each councilor selecting one member and the Mayor
selecting three members. In addition, the Agency Director shall
secure the services of a qualified consultant to perform market
analysis and economic feasibility studies. This research and analysis
will inform the Agency and the Advisory Committee’s deliberations.
Roll Call Vote
The Mayor adjourns the meeting of the Eugene Urban Renewal Agency and reconvenes the
