January 2025 Project Update

Curious about what's going on with Urban Growth Strategies? Staff share regular updates that provide relevant project information, milestones, and upcoming opportunities for engagement. For January 2025, project updates include:

• Eugene’s Comprehensive Plan Update: Staff are rolling out draft Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for the community's review, starting (appropriately) with Chapter 1 - Community Engagement. Catch up on chapter development and share your thoughts!
• New State Approach to Planning for Eugene’s Housing Need: The Oregon Housing Needs Analysis (OHNA) will fundamentally change how cities plan for housing. Eugene received its new 20-year housing need, and it’s significant!
• City Council Selects Future Climate-Friendly Areas: City Council provided direction on areas to designate, including downtown and along lower Coburg Road.
• Draft Land Use Designation Map: Have you checked out this modernized, digital map yet? It will provide a clearer and more detailed view of land use within Eugene’s UGB.
• Recent and Upcoming Public Meetings: Staff will provide updates on Urban Growth Strategies to Eugene City Council, Eugene Planning Commission, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners in February and March.
