What's New with Envision Eugene? February 2nd, 2017

The public process for adopting our urban growth boundary (UGB) continues! This week we had our second work session with the Eugene Planning Commission and our third community information session of the year. We also released a community guide on the UGB proposal and process. This newsletter provides details about those work sessions, upcoming public involvement opportunities and a link to the Community Guide.

Planning Commission Work Sessions

On Monday, January 30th, the Envision Eugene Team had a second work session with the Eugene Planning Commission focused on UGB adoption. Where the January 23rd work session provided an overview of the adoption package and process for adopting our UGB, the January 30th work session began walking through the hundreds of pages that make up the adoption package. We started with the documents that support setting our UGB for jobs, parks and schools. On February 13th we will continue working through the adoption package with the Planning Commission. You can watch archived and live webcasts of the work sessions here or attend the work session in person on February 13th (details below).

Watch a Work Session

You can find all of the documents that make up the UGB adoption package (the UGB proposal, the related plan amendments and land use code amendments, the technical studies, and the legal findings) on our  website.

Community Guide

Today we published the UGB Community Guide to our website. This user-friendly guide includes fact sheets, infographics and timelines all in one place. It also includes an annotated version of the presentation we have been delivering at community information sessions across the city. This is a great place to start if you are looking for an overview of the UGB proposal and adoption process.

We encourage you to learn about the UGB proposal, ask questions and provide comment. Specific opportunities are highlighted below.  If you are interested in speaking during a public hearing or providing written testimony, you can consult this fact sheet to learn what to expect and how to do it.
