ICS/OS Infill and Multifamily Development Tour
On April 28, 2008, the Infill Compatibility Standards and Opportunity Siting Task Teams participated in a joint tour of a variety of infill and multifamily development in 11 of Eugene’s 19 neighborhoods.  The tour highlighted infill development at all points on the density scale and in different kinds of neighborhoods, from Jefferson and Westside to River Road to Amazon Neighbors.  This tour was also the first opportunity that the two task teams had to talk with each other about their common goal of finding compatible places and ways to accommodate more housing within the urban growth boundary.  A tour guide including maps and photos can be accessed, by neighborhood area, in the left column.

Progress and Public Outreach
During 2008, the OS Task Team approved a charter and work plan, drafted the Ten Tenets of Opportunity Siting, and completed a series of educational discussions on topics such as financial tools, development process, and building types, design and density.  The team also designed a process to solicit neighborhood input in the identification of potential opportunity sites.  Jefferson Westside Neighbors volunteered to assist the Task Team in testing and refining the workshop model. See JWN Workshop in the left column. Consultants are preparing a market study and financial feasibility study to learn the potential for desirable development on a hypothetical site.
