Terri Harding of the Planning & Development Department offered a report and Power Point
presentation on Council Bills 5177, and 5178 related to the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary.
Council Discussion
■ A digital map that is being offered for adoption, not just text.
• The exact position of the current Urban Growth Boundary [UGB] is debatable.
• The future of Urban Reserves and Rural Reserves is an important consideration.
• This issue has been researched sufficiently.
• This decision will accommodate future need for Parks, Open Space, and Industrial Lands.
• Expanding onto agricultural land is ill-advised.
MINUTES -- Eugene City Council July 17, 2017 Page 1
Work Session
• The housing affordability issue needs to be factored into any decision surrouriding UGi3
expansion.
• Data does not support UGB expansion at this time.
• An adopted UGB is required in order to adopt Urban Reserves.

5 17 7, an ordinance concerning employment, park and school land.
