Public Asked For
Input on Downtown Projects The Downtown
Zoning Review project was initiated by City Council to address
elements in the land use code in order to facilitate the type of
development called for in the Downtown Plan. Significant public
involvement has identified seven priority topics for careful
review and possible revisions. The first phase of the project
focuses on three topics: 1) how much density is required and how
density is calculated, 2) limitations on surface parking, and 3)
limitations on new residential structures. These items were
chosen for review first because they could be addressed with
limited changes to the land use code. The discussion about West Broadway redevelopment will focus on the partnership between Beam Development and the City to rehabilitate the Centre Court and Washburne Buildings and to construct a new building on the vacant lot south of the Centre Court building on Willamette Street. Community
members are encouraged to attend to learn about the proposed
code changes, to hear an update on progress toward redevelopment
for West Broadway, and to express their views on these projects.
The City Council and staff want to ensure the projects to
reflect community priorities and values.
Community Members Asked to Identify What Matters to Them
What makes a community healthy and vibrant? Tell us what you
think by participating in the
Healthy Community Survey. There are many factors that influence the health and vitality of our community, such as education, job opportunities and public safety. Understanding what makes a community vibrant takes an integrated approach, and that’s why the University of Oregon Economics Department, Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Lane County have joined together to develop the Healthy Community Index – an exciting new tool that measures a variety of factors affecting our citizens’ level of satisfaction within the community. We encourage you to click below to complete the Healthy Community Index survey (if you have not already) and tell us what is most important to you for a healthy community. The survey takes between five and 10 minutes. Your response is requested by March 5; once we close the survey, the results will be compiled and a report will be released to the community in May. Thank you for sharing your opinion! Feel free to forward this Update to your staff, associates, customer and community members in the Eugene/Springfield area so that they may participate in the survey as well. Click to take the Healthy Community Survey now! WorkTrends
