Eugene Comprehensive Lands Assessment
This is a study of the amount of residential, industrial and commercial lands, as well as non-employment lands (e.g., parks, open space) needed in Eugene for the next 20 years. The assessment includes an inventory of buildable lands within the city’s urban growth boundary (UGB), an estimate of need for land for residential uses, and for land for non-residential uses (commercial, industrial, and public), and a determination of whether the city has sufficient land within the UGB to meet those needs.

Infill Compatibility Standards and Opportunity Siting
Infill Compatibility Standards and Opportunity Siting are companion projects working to protect the character of Eugene’s neighborhoods. They are seeking to prevent the negative impact of infill, encourage positive infill and find ways to identify appropriate locations for dense housing that enhances neighborhoods and relieves the pressure for more housing and housing types. |

Mixed Use Centers
Rasor Park, Walnut Station
Mixed-use development encourages quality neighborhoods, a mix of activities, more transportation options, convenient shopping and services, reduces reliance on automobile travel and the need for costly street improvements; slows sprawl onto agricultural and forest lands; and provides a greater variety of housing types inside the urban growth boundary.

Neighborhood Action Plans
The next generation of neighborhood plans, Neighborhood Action Plans, will engage Eugene neighborhoods in a needs assessment and identification of strategies/actions linked to City program priorities and budgets. The scope of this program is still being developed and the Neighborhood Services Office will be reaching out to neighborhoods in the near future once a general framework is in place. |
Historic Preservation
Natural Resources
Metro and Community Planning focuses on major, multi-year projects that will yield information and policies to help guide economically, socially and environmentally sustainable growth and development patterns over the longer term. These projects are exploring how and where the city will grow and develop, how to balance compact growth with protection of neighborhood character, how to create walkable neighborhoods with good transit access, what additional natural areas need protection, and how to address neighborhood needs in a neighborhood-based planning context.
