What is the PROS Project and Priority Plan?

The Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Project and Priority Plan is an action plan that contains specific project information, including a timeframe for project implementation and cost estimates. The PROS Project and Priority Plan was adopted by resolution of the Eugene City Council on May 22, 2006. 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 & Open Space (PROS) Comprehensive Plan was adopted as an aspirational and guiding document for the City as it conducts long-range planning for parks, recreation and open space. The PROS Comprehensive Plan contains, among other things, goals, strategies and performance measures. The projects identified in the Project and Priority Plan are one way in which the strategies identified in the PROS Comprehensive Plan can be implemented. The City’s adoption of the PROS Comprehensive Plan was appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) and LUBA remanded the City’s adoption. The PROS Comprehensive Plan has no legal effect as a land use plan; however, it continues to serve as the City’s aspirational and guiding parks, recreation and open space document.

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.  Cost estimates also need to be considered within the context of inflation.  The cost estimates in the current project list were developed in 2004 and have not been subsequently adjusted for inflation.
