Planning Commission Public Hearing
On October 14, 2025 at 5:30pm, the Eugene Planning Commission will hold a virtual public hearing on a proposed land use code amendment to improve the coordination with public health regulatory partners. Review the meeting agenda and materials.
The proposed land use code amendment 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 have obtained or are on the path to obtain all required water, land, and air permits prior to the issuance of a building permit.
How to Submit Testimony to the Planning Commission

Following this initial public hearing, the Planning Commission will deliberate and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will hold a separate public hearing, then deliberate and make the final local decision on the proposed land use code amendment.
