ISSUE STATEMENT
The purpose of this public hearing is to provide an opportunity for public input regarding the proposed
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Project and Priority Plan. The council is scheduled to take action on
this item on April 10, 2006.
BACKGROUND
The Project and Priority Plan contains specific project information, including a timeframe for project
implementation and cost estimates. To aid in reviewing the plan, the project information is structured in
several different formats including tables organized by planning area and tables organized by project
type. The Project and Priority Plan also includes maps showing existing and proposed resources for
each planning area and for the entire city.
The Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Comprehensive Plan, adopted by City Council on
February 13, 2006, provides concepts, principles, goals and strategies to guide preservation and
enhancement of Eugene’s parks, recreation and open space system. The projects identified in the
Project and Priority Plan are some of the means by which the strategies identified in the PROS
Comprehensive Plan can be implemented. As was the case with the PROS Comprehensive Plan, the
Project and Priority Plan is the direct result of outreach to thousands of Eugene residents.
The Project and Priority Plan is intended to be a living document and, as such, individual projects may
be delayed if funding cannot be identified within the shown timeline. Likewise, individual projects may
be moved forward if funding is identified earlier than shown in the timeline.
A City Council Work Session was held on the proposed Project and Priority Plan on February 13, 2006.
Attachment A to this agenda item summary (AIS) is a memorandum responding to questions from the
council regarding growth allocation percentages. The memorandum describes how the growth
allocation percentages were calculated, and describes the relationship of these percentages to the System
Development Charge methodology currently under review by a Rates Advisory Committee.
Attachment B is a spreadsheet responding to questions from the council regarding projected service
levels for each planning area based on the priority assignments in the Project and Priority Plan. This
analysis includes projected service levels resulting from the implementation of Priority 1 projects.

An additional memorandum is forthcoming which responds to questions raised by Council at the Work
Session regarding funding assumptions. The memorandum and accompanying chart will identify the
assumptions that are being made to forecast future funding levels for the implementation of projects
contained within the plan.

Subject:
Clarification of Preliminary Growth Allocation Figures in the PROS Project and Priority
Plan
In a February 27, 2006 council work session on the PROS Project and Priorities Plan (Project Plan)
members of Council requested clarification of the relationship of the Project Plan to the development of
an updated parks SDC. Specifically, clarification was sought on the significance of the “preliminary
growth allocation” percentages included in the Project Plan and the method of determining these
allocation figures.
Relationship of Project Plan to Parks SDC
Adoption of a project plan is a prerequisite for updating and modifying the parks SDC insofar as a new or
modified SDC methodology must demonstrate consideration of the project costs listed in an adopted
plan. To be considered for use in developing the parks SDC the adopted plan must meet certain criteria
specified in ORS 223.309, specifically that the plan include a list of the capital improvements and the
estimated cost, timing and percentage of costs eligible to be funded with revenues from improvement fee
SDCs. The preliminary growth allocation figures included in the Project Plan are intended to satisfy the
requirement to provide an estimated “percentage of costs eligible to be funded with revenues from the
improvement fee”.
The need for an estimate of the percentage of SDC funding of projects in the Project Plan has required
analysis of parks capacity needs of growth during development of the Project Plan. The capacity analysis
used to derive the preliminary growth allocation percentages is consistent with methods, described in
more detail below, used in preliminary development of an updated parks SDC methodology. The Project
Plan is a reference document to be considered in development of the SDC, but does not prescribe the
form of the SDC methodology nor the amount of the SDC. The SDC methodology may consider the
Project Plan using a variety of means, factors and assumptions. Various policy and methodological
alternatives will be considered through adoption of a modified parks SDC, subsequent to the separate
adoption of the Project Plan. For these reasons, the affect of preliminary growth allocation percentages
contained in the Project Plan on the future modified parks SDC is variable and has yet to be determined.
Project Plan Growth Allocations
Calculation of Preliminary Growth Allocation
Oregon SDC statutes [ORS 223.229] define the portion of system costs that may be allocated to growth
through the SDC. For an improvement fee SDC, the growth allocation is determined by the projected
costs of capital improvements that are needed to increase capacity in the systemto meet the demands of
new development.
Demands for capacity in the system – both for existing and future park users (growth) – are generally
based on the projected level of service (LOS) which quantifies total future park acreage or facilities per
demand unit (generally population). Future parks acreage is determined by the existing system inventory
plus those system elements added by projects in the Project Plan. The capacity requirements for existing
development and growth are estimated by multiplying the future LOS for each park type by the
population of each group. Project Plan costs are then allocated in proportion to each group’s relative
need for the new acreage, as determined by the capacity analysis.
Table 1 at the end of this document presents a capacity analysis based on the proposed Project Plan. In
Table 1, columns ‘a’ and ‘b’ provide existing and planned future LOS calculations by park type for
developed and undeveloped land. The future LOS reflects total planned acreage, adjusted for park
projects included in the Plan that are not owned or funded by the City. The future LOS is based on
1
forecast population for 2025, and for all parks projects projected for completion by 2025.
Total capacity needs for the existing 2004 population and the increment of growth between 2004 and
2025 are presented in columns (f) and (h) of Table 1, respectively. Capacity needs are the product of the
future LOS and the population attributable to each population group.
As an example, for neighborhood park development (in the bottom half of the table), the additional need
for neighborhood park development for the existing population (36.5 acres, shown in column ‘g’), is
equal to the total need (132.3 acres shown in column ‘f’) less the existing inventory (95.8 acres shown in
column ‘c’), as existing park users’ needs are assumed to be met first by existing parks and facilities. For
growth, the additional need of 34.7 acres (column ‘j’) from projects equals the total need (column ‘g’).
The capacity analysis for land acquisition and development of other park types follows this same
methodology.
Table 2, also included at the end of this document, shows the allocation of project list acreage to existing
development and growth, based on the capacity analysis provided in Table 1. Project list acreage in
Table 2 comes from column ‘d’ in Table 1. Existing deficiency and growth acreages also come from
Table 1, columns ‘g’ and ‘j’, respectively. Using the example stated above for neighborhood park
development, the growth need is calculated to be 34.7 acres, which represents 49 percent of the total
acreage (71.2 acres) added by the project list. This percentage is then used in Project Plan as the
preliminary growth allocation for all neighborhood park development projects.
A separate capacity analysis was conducted for certain facility types for which separate project costs are
itemized in the project list. Similar to the park acreage analysis, the capacity analysis for facilities is based
on the future LOS for the existing and 2025 populations, but the capacity is expressed as number of
facilities per population rather than by acres.
1 2025 is used as the capacity planning period for all part types, except natural area parks, where
acquisitions and development within the planning window are assumed to meet capacity needs
through 2050.
Project Plan Growth Allocations
Key Assumptions
.
The following key assumptions are used in the park capacity analysis and preliminary growth allocation
?Capacity is considered by park type on a system-wide basis as opposed to individual park-by-park
basis.
?Capacity and costs are analyzed for land acquisition and development costs separately.
?Existing park users’ needs are assumed to be met first by existing parks and facilities.
?All park types are considered in the cost allocation: Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks,
Natural Area Parks, Urban Plazas, Metropolitan Parks, and Linear Parks.
?Allocations for facilities are determined based on capacity analysis by facility type.
?Improvements to Special Facility parks and facilities are allocated in proportion to future 2025
population, as all park users – existing and new – are assumed to benefit from these facilities.
?Cost allocations are based on planned level of service (LOS) resulting from the PROS Project
Plan, as opposed to exiting LOS.
?The improvement fee cost basis exclude projects, or portions of projects identified as
“renovation” in the Project Plan.
?The improvement fee cost basis exclude projects, or portions of projects that have been estimated
to be funded through other funds, e.g. grants.
