Planning Commission Deliberations

The Public Health Standards project is an effort to identify possible changes to Eugene’s land use regulations to address the concerns of residents living near industrial areas within City limits.

On November 18, 2025, the Eugene Planning Commission is scheduled to deliberate, and may make a recommendation to the City Council, on a proposed land use code change to improve the coordination with public health regulatory partners. This meeting is a follow-up from an October 14, 2025 public hearing.

The proposed land use code change would require developers of property zoned E-2 Mixed-Use Employment, I-2 Light-Medium Industrial, and I-3 Heavy Industrial to provide documentation that they are working to obtain all required water, land, and air permits prior to the issuance of a building permit. This proposed code change is in response to Eugene City Council direction during their June 18, 2025 meeting.

Following a recommendation from the Planning Commission, the City Council will hold their own public hearing, then deliberate and make the final local decision on the proposed land use code amendment.
