Implementation Strategies & Actions

Monitoring Program


PLAN PURPOSE / STATEMENT OF INTENT The Action Plan is the tool for turning the vision into action. The goal of the Action Plan is to guide implementation and to assist with regular evaluation of Eugene’s growth management assumptions and outcomes. A variety of strategies and actions are needed to implement all the parts of the Envision Eugene: Vision to Action, including the Envision Eugene Community Vision, the Comprehensive Plan and the Urban Form Plan. In addition, because Eugene’s 20-year growth plan is based on certain assumptions continuing into the future, it needs to be adjusted as conditions evolve and trends change so it can remain nimble and responsive. The Action Plan provides a more detailed look at these implementing strategies and actions as well as a programmatic framework to monitor how growth actually occurs in Eugene over the next 20 years and assess adjusting strategies as necessary. As such, it is intended for the Action Plan to be updated regularly to reflect changes from the removal of completed actions, to revisions to the monitoring program. PLAN OVERVIEW This document will provide guidance for ongoing implementation and monitoring of the Envision Eugene: Vision to Action over time. The intent is for this document to be viewed as a City work plan of sorts. It will be regularly updated, such as on an annual basis, as work is completed and strategies and actions are removed and others are added. While the Action Plan is critical to the success of Envision Eugene, it is important to note that the Action Plan is non-regulatory; it does not constitute an adopted land use plan. Strategies and Actions This Action Plan includes strategies and action items that will implement the Envision Eugene: Vision to Action. As used in this plan: 

Strategies are generally an expression of what the City intends to accomplish by implementing the Envision Eugene pillars. These strategies also implement many of the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan policies. The majority of the strategies are accompanied by action items. Strategies can provide guidance for decision-makers and will be updated over time. Actions are recognized as possible ways to carry out the strategies or the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan policies. Not all potential actions are listed, as not all strategies include action items at this time; in some cases the strategy serves as the action, in other cases, the action has yet to be determined. The identified action items outline specific projects or courses of action that the City or its partner agencies could take to implement Envision Eugene. Actions can provide guidance for decision-makers and will be updated over time.

The strategies and actions in Section A of the Implementation Strategies and Action chapter are based on the 2012 Envision Eugene Recommendation and the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan. However, the Action Plan is not an exhaustive list of actions and nothing precludes work on an item that is not in the Action Plan. Furthermore, it is recognized that some actions are subject to change because they


must take into account the requirements, priorities and actions of other jurisdictions, agencies and City departments. The 2012 Envision Eugene Recommendation (2012 Recommendation) provides the foundation for the first round of strategies and actions. The 2012 Recommendation includes seven pillars (or community values) that reflect Eugene’s collective community values and are the foundation from which a shared vision for the future emerged. Each pillar is accompanied by strategies and actions to implement the vision. The majority of those strategies and actions are carried forward directly into this Action Plan. In some cases, the strategies and actions have been updated to reflect completion of work since the 2012 Recommendation (e.g. adoption of measures to increase the amount of development that would otherwise occur), subsequent City Council direction (e.g. direction by the Council to prepare an urban growth boundary (UGB) adoption package), or updated technical analysis (e.g. refinement of the technical analysis particularly regarding capacity of low density residential land). The Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan, developed as Eugene’s city-specific comprehensive land use plan, contains policies that set a course of action for moving our community toward attainment of its goals. While many of the [draft] comprehensive plan policies align with the pillars, strategies and actions from the 2012 Recommendation, some policies remain in need of implementing strategies and actions. Such strategies and actions will be developed after comprehensive plan adoption and subsequently added to the Action Plan. Section B is a crossreference of the [draft] Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan goals and policies with the Envision Eugene pillars, strategies and actions, generally showing which policies are already implemented by the pillars, strategies or actions, and which are not. Each strategy or action in this plan also includes a status, such as when the item was completed, an estimated date of completion, or when work on this item is anticipated to occur. However, nothing precludes a strategy or action from occurring on a different time frame. Status key: 

Completed. This indicates a strategy or action was adopted or the analysis for this strategy action or is complete. Both a completion date and a specific project are provided. Examples of specific completed projects include: o Employment Zone Code. These actions were addressed through the adopted zone changes and code amendments for new E-1 and E-2 employment zones to accommodate more commercial uses and mixed use inside the UGB. o Residential Re-designation. These actions were addressed through the adopted Metro Plan re-designations and corresponding changes to zoning, refinement plans and land use codes to accommodate more low density housing inside the UGB. In-progress. Work to address this strategy or action is currently in progress. Examples of specific in-progress projects include: o UGB adoption package. These actions are addressed in policies or amendments that are part of the proposed 2012-2032 Urban Growth Boundary adoption package. After adoption, these items will be revised in the Action Plan to include the completion date.


o

 

South Willamette Project. These actions are addressed in an area planning project actions such as visioning and actions currently under consideration including associated Metro Plan amendments, zoning and zoning code changes. o Brownfields Assessment Project. These actions are addressed through the EugeneSpringfield Brownfield Assessment Coalition Project, a joint effort to inventory and assess potential brownfield sites, and future work to establish a brownfields program. Ongoing. These strategies or actions are ongoing efforts that do not necessarily have a specific completion date. Short-term. Work to address these strategies or actions has not yet fully begun, but is anticipated to begin during the first five years of adoption of the UGB. When known, a specific project is identified, such as: o Comprehensive Plan Future Phase. These actions will be addressed in later phases of the Eugene-specific comprehensive plan including completing the remaining chapters of the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan and land use map. o Longer-term. Work to address these strategies or actions has either not yet begun, or in some cases the full scope of strategies or actions needed to implement it has not yet been determined. It is anticipated to begin during the 20-year planning period.

Growth Monitoring Program The Envision Eugene: Vision to Action is based on well-founded assumptions about what will happen in the future. However, not all of these assumptions will be correct and the City’s plan must be flexible enough to address changing conditions and needs in the community. To ensure that the plan and implementation tools remain effective, desirable, and relevant, the City is committing to ongoing monitoring and adjusting of the plan and its implementation tools. The City’s monitoring efforts will include both quantitative and qualitative assessments regarding the city’s growth and development over time. The last section of the Action Plan is the Growth Monitoring Program which at this point in time focuses on the quantitative assessment efforts. Like the other parts of the Action Plan, the Growth Monitoring Program is also anticipated to be updated over time as monitoring needs change. The Growth Monitoring Program is intended to provide the information needed by the community and decision makers to periodically assess the validity of assumptions and evaluate Growth Monitoring Framework the effectiveness of goals and policies adopted as part of Eugene’s new comprehensive plan. Specifically, the Growth Monitoring Program establishes a “feedback loop” type framework for the City to collect, report and analyze data related to growth trends (e.g. how much vacant land has been developed, how dense is new housing), assess whether some sort of action is needed if the trends or needs are different than we anticipated (e.g. if vacant land is being


developed quicker than anticipated), make any necessary adjustments and repeat the monitoring cycle. The monitoring program framework is informed by input from key partner groups and agencies including specifically the Envision Eugene Technical Resource Group, research from other jurisdictions, and ongoing refinement of the data collection list and data collection systems. While much of the monitoring program work to date has focused on developing the quantitative framework, equally as important is the City’s monitoring efforts for evaluating whether development is achieving Envision Eugene’s more qualitative goals and outcomes, such as livable neighborhoods and thriving mixed use corridors and commercial areas. A diverse set of interested parties, such as City boards and commissions, the (growth monitoring) technical advisory committee, and community and neighborhood groups, will need to be involved in developing the qualitative analysis and reviewing the results. When this framework is identified, it too will need to be incorporated into the Action Plan.


A. The Seven Pillars of Envision Eugene The tables in this section include the strategies and actions of the seven pillars, based on the 2012 Envision Eugene Recommendation and subsequent actions described above. Some strategies do not have accompanying actions. In those cases, the strategies serve as actions. An estimate of completion status is also provided for each action.

Plan for an employment growth rate of 1.4 %. This growth rate translates into an increase in 35,800 jobs over 20 years. Prepare four 10-20 acre industrial sites for development to meet Eugene’s industrial land need inside the existing UGB through the consolidation of small underutilized industrial sites and/or through the clean-up of existing brownfield sites. Explore the feasibility of an Industrial Land Trust as a possible implementation tool (using approaches demonstrated successfully in the West Eugene Wetlands Partnership). Work with property owners of current vacant or developed industrial lands, especially those larger than 25 acres, to reduce the financial and regulatory obstacles to development, with a goal of making these sites ready for development (e.g. additional natural resource and infrastructure planning). Expand the UGB to provide 11 large lot industrial and employment sites (total of 380-605 acres) for the city’s identified target industries and to accommodate the growth needs of existing businesses projected through year 2032. The identified expansion area is in the Clear Lake Road area and east of the Eugene Airport. Establish legal parameters to ensure that these medium-large sized industrial sites in the expansion area cannot be further divided or re-designated from their intended use and support the following supply:

IMPLEMENTATION

Policies & Strategies/Actions The following table shows whether the 2012 Recommendation pillars’ strategies or actions implement the [draft] Comprehensive Plan policies or not. Many of the [draft] policies are implemented by the pillars’ strategies and actions which can be found in the Action Plan, although it is recognized that additional actions may still need to be added for these policies in the future. Other [draft] policies are either not entirely implemented or implemented at all, by the pillars’ strategies and actions, or are ongoing and may not need a specific action. For these types of policies, any necessary actions will need to be developed and added to the Action Plan in the future. For example, the Eugene-specific Comprehensive Plan is being completed in phases so several chapters (and associated policies) have not been written yet. 

For policies implemented by the pillar strategies and actions, the name of the pillar section is noted in the table (COMPACT DEVELOPMENT), along with the implementing strategy number (2) or action letter (2.b).

For policies not (wholly or in-part) implemented by pillar strategies or actions, it is noted as “actions to be developed after UGB adoption.” These policies may also be ongoing and not require a specific action. Comprehensive PlanChapters and policies

Chapter 1 – Public Involvement 1.1 Diverse participation opportunities. Provide formal and informal opportunities for public involvement in all phases of land use planning including but not limited to:

A. Growth Monitoring Program – Quantitative Purpose The Envision Eugene Pillar 7: Adaptable, Flexible and Collaborative Implementation, is the impetus for the Growth Monitoring Program. Pillar 7 acknowledges that while Eugene’s new comprehensive growth plan is based on well-founded assumptions about what will happen in the future, not all of the assumptions will be correct and the plan needs to be flexible enough to address changing conditions and needs in the community. The purpose of the Monitoring Program is to provide the information needed by the community and decision makers to periodically assess the validity of growth planning assumptions and inform the effectiveness of strategies adopted as part of the new comprehensive plan and urban growth boundary (UGB), as well as relevant strategies in the Eugene Transportation System Plan, and the Climate and Energy Action Plan. Formal institutionalization of the program recognizes that these efforts are important enough to be completed on a regular basis. With this information, decision makers can determine whether the growth plan and/or related implementation activities need to be adjusted. The Monitoring Program both demonstrates and formalizes the City’s commitment to a growth plan that is flexible enough to address changing conditions and needs in the community. Key goals of the Growth Monitoring Program include:       

To have data that is complete and relevant to future needs To collect data efficiently To provide accessible, transparent information to the community To regularly assess current status of the land supply To regularly assess the effectiveness of land use efficiency strategies To identify growth planning trends, including housing affordability, and To be a program that is continually evaluated and adjusted to respond to changing needs

Outcomes Providing a comprehensive monitoring program has numerous beneficial outcomes. These include but are not limited to:     

Increased reliability and on-going tracking of the buildable lands supply status Reduced city costs of future growth planning efforts Increased public trust in the growth planning process The community is in a better position to respond to changing conditions Better collaboration with regional partners, creating a more complete picture about regional trends


Monitoring Program Summary The Growth Monitoring Program includes several important steps as outlined below. Details about each step are provided on the following pages and appendices. Participants A wide range of participants is needed throughout the monitoring process to ensure the program’s success. Participants include government staff, review bodies (technical advisory committee, City Manager, Planning Commission), decision makers (City Council), and importantly, the general public. Monitoring Process Steps The Growth Monitoring Program is intended to provide a recurring feedback loop that compares previous assumptions to actual occurrences to determine if any additional action is needed and then continues the monitoring cycle.

Identify data

Evaluate program for adjustments

Collect data

Take action if needed

Report results

Compare assumptions to actual results

Several steps are required to make this a successful monitoring plan with applicable results: Preliminary Steps These early steps provide the foundation for the Monitoring Program. The results of these steps are not anticipated to change much over time, although some refinement to the data collection process is anticipated to occur as the monitoring results and program are evaluated and adjustments are implemented.


Step 1 Identify Data to Collect: Several types and sets of data are identified for monitoring. Monitoring data are selected based on criteria such as their relevance and relative weight to key trends and land supply questions. Additional criteria includes availability, reliability, and if the data is related to multiple monitoring areas. Some “key data” are identified that have a larger impact or are more relevant to the buildable lands supply or Envision Eugene strategies/actions than other data being collected. Step 2 Collect the Data:

The methodology for collecting each type and set of data is identified, including how to collect it, the source for collection, when to collect it, who collects it, how it is used and how it is stored.

Primary Steps These steps make up the bulk of the Monitoring Program and are repeated regularly over time. Step 3 Report Results:

The monitoring results are provided at varying reporting periods and methods according to the data and level necessary. Annually, a report is generated on the key data. Within three years, and every five years after, a comprehensive report is generated on the key data, as well as other data necessary to explain the trends and answer key questions. Reports are also provided on an as needed basis. Some reports may include trends in the data over time and comparisons of the results to the original planning assumptions.

Step 4 Analyze Results:

The results of the reports are reviewed by a technical advisory committee (TAC) and verified for public release. Some monitoring results may warrant a more “in-depth” level of review, meaning analysis of other data or studies that help explain the monitoring results is necessary before the report can be issued. The TAC will make a recommendation based on this analysis.

Step 5 Take Action:

Some monitoring results or the findings of an in-depth review, may reveal a trend that warrants exploring whether the city should take some sort of action to respond to changing trends and needs. Possible actions range from wait and see how the trend plays out, to starting a new complete UGB planning review.

Step 6 Program Evaluation:

The Monitoring Program is periodically evaluated to ensure efficiency and accuracy and that the program goals are being achieved. The program may be lightly adjusted periodically with a more comprehensive review occurring every 3 years.


Monitoring Program Steps Participants In order to have a successful monitoring program, many people need to be involved during several points in the process. Broad participation is important to meet goals regarding transparency and access of the monitoring results and process. It can also help ensure the program is answering the important questions by bringing in experienced and professional topic experts that can help inform the review process and evaluate the results. Participants include: 

LOCAL STAFF: City of Eugene Planning Division staff are the primary coordinators of the Monitoring Program, including gathering the data from various sources, reporting the monitoring results, providing technical expertise, staffing and participating on the TAC, and coordinating the monitoring review process. Other Eugene staff collecting relevant data includes staff working in building permits, transportation, and sustainability. Staffs from other jurisdictions also collect relevant data, such as Lane Council of Governments (LCOG), Lane County (Assessor and public health), utility providers and schools. REVIEW BODIES: The review and analysis of monitoring are coordinated with a technical advisory committee (TAC), comprised of community members with diverse interests and areas of technical expertise and city staff. The primary role of the TAC is to assist staff in reviewing monitoring reports, exploring related technical questions to further a factual understanding of conditions, and to recommend to staff possible actions, or a range of actions, that may be needed to address changing trends. This work, as well as maintaining institutional memory regarding the monitoring efforts, necessitates regular meetings of the TAC. The TAC operating framework is provided in Appendix A. The Planning Commission and the Sustainability Commission are key review bodies in this process. Some instances may also warrant review by the City Manager or other boards or commissions, such as if significant changing trends are apparent or additional action is recommended. DECISION MAKERS: It is anticipated that there will be some limited instances when the monitoring results and recommended actions will warrant review by City Council, such as if significant changes in policy direction or to the program are recommended. THE PUBLIC: Stakeholders and other interested parties in the community at large are invited to participate in several steps of the monitoring process. All final reports and analysis results shall be made available to the public through the Permit and Information Center and the City’s web site. Meetings of the TAC, Planning Commission, and City Council are open to the public to hear and comment on discussion as well as any recommended actions. Public comment shall be gathered to inform periodic evaluation of the Monitoring Program.

Step 1

Identify Data to Collect

In general, the objective is to collect the data that will answer the right questions, such as whether an Envision Eugene strategy has been successful or if the actual outcomes match the planning assumptions relied upon as part of Envision Eugene. Identification of the pertinent questions for monitoring to answer, along with the previous experience on Envision Eugene, results in a list of quantitative and


qualitative data to collect (see Appendix B Key Questions and Key Data, and Appendix C, Data Reporting Types by Pillar). There is also a desire to understand the reason a project or strategy doesn’t happen or isn’t working. Tracking this could be difficult and more work is needed to understand how this might be accomplished. Quantitative Data Much of the data to collect is quantitative, meaning it is data that can be gathered in a numerical form which can be put into categories, or in rank order, or measured in units of measurement.. The quantitative data to collect falls into several broad categories:        

General Trends (e.g. population growth, acres in vacant land supply) Residential Development Trends (permit data; e.g. new housing units built) General Residential Trends (e.g. household size/persons per household, housing affordability) Employment Development Trends (permit data; e.g. new employment building capacity built) General Employment Trends (e.g. number of jobs created by employment sector type) Other Data (e.g. 20-minute neighborhood assessment) Regional Trends (e.g. regional residential construction data) Efficiency Strategies & Investments (number of new controlled income and rent units)

Appendix D Quantitative Data List includes the entire list of quantitative data sets to collect. Data identified with “*” are identified as key data to collect and report on more frequently because they have a larger impact or are more relevant to the buildable lands supply or Envision Eugene strategies/actions than other data being collected. The other data being collected is secondarily or conditionally relevant to help inform key data trends. The trends of secondary or conditional data are reported less frequently and in many cases only as needed. Qualitative Data Some of the Envision Eugene strategies and actions that need to be monitored and measured are more subjective in nature so the data being collected is more qualitative and typically descriptive data that is harder to analyze than quantitative data. For instance, the amount and type of development seen can be quantified, but it is important to also measure whether the development is achieving our qualitative goals and objectives, such as to create livable neighborhoods and enjoyable mixed use transit corridors and commercial areas. While measuring quality objectives may be subjective, the measurements do not necessarily need to be vague. Identifying the important qualitative elements in development helps to identify what elements of development need to be measured and how to measure it. Thomas Gilbert identified three quality requirements by which qualitative issues could be measured. The following summarizes those quality aspects and how they may be applied to developments or accomplishments to measure if they are meeting Envision Eugene’s qualitative strategies and actions. Additional work is required to determine exactly how quality aspects may be applied to development or accomplishments for measuring qualitative issues: 

Accuracy. What is the degree to which an accomplishment matches a model without errors? (e.g. How well does the development or accomplishment match the ideal?)






Class. Is the accomplishment superior to most in some way beyond accuracy? (e.g. Is the development or accomplishment superior to other developments/accomplishments in some way?) Novelty. Does the accomplishment demonstrate originality? Does it embody features or aspects that distinguish it favorably in particular dimensions? (e.g. Does the development/accomplishment demonstrate originality or does it embody features or aspects that distinguish it favorably?)

Given the subjective nature of the qualitative assessment analysis, it is recognized that there is a likelihood that much of this work will need to be reviewed by a board, commissions or advisory group other than the TAC. See Appendix E for the qualitative assessment framework (Has not been started; for now refer to Data Reporting Types by Pillar for which strategies/actions require qualitative assessment). Other Items to Monitor Other information or issues related to development trends and growth planning may arise that are not specifically mentioned above. Examples include new studies on demographic or development trends such as from the University of Oregon or the Urban Land Institute, or changes in federal, state or local policies, laws and regulations related to development. Monitoring this information takes place in the course of normal practice and operation of the Planning Division in conjunction with governmental, institutional and community partners, as needed and as resources permit; the methods and scope are not specifically prescribed by the Monitoring Program.

Step 2

Collect the Data

Each type and set of data identified for collection requires a specific collection methodology (see Appendix F, data collection methods). The methodology includes at a high level which Envision Eugene pillar the data helps monitor down to the details of who collects the data and when. Collection methodology for each data point: Envision Eugene Pillar- The overarching Envision Eugene pillar of the strategy or action that the data is monitoring Data- the specific data type or set that is being collected and monitored Key question- the key question that the data is helping to answer Description/definitions- the description and any applicable definitions of the data being collected

Example entries Housing Affordability

structure type How many new single-family homes were built? How many new multi-family homes were built? What is the housing mix of new development? The mix of new housing units permitted is derived from the number of new housing units permitted and the type of structure each unit is in. Housing structure types are grouped into four main categories which can be further subdivided and result in a "housing mix" (generally expressed as


Collection methodology for each data point:

Definition source- the origin of the data definition Basic methodology- a general description of the overall collection method Collection Source- the institution or process that originally collects the data When is it collected- the time of year or point in the process when the data is originally collected Who collects it- the city staff responsible for either entering the original data into the original collection source, or for obtaining the data from a non-City source (e.g. PSU, U.S. Census) How is it collected- the type of system, program, or report the data is originally collected into When is it available- the frequency that the data is available from the original system/program/report (reporting frequency/timing may differ from data availability) How it will be reported/integrated- the report or system that the data results are integrated from for the monitoring report

Report Results

Regular reporting is necessary to identify trends, know the status of the buildable lands supply, and promote transparency and accessibility of information. Monitoring reports shall be developed at regular intervals and on an as needed basis. The reports include varying levels of detail depending on the level of analysis warranted, and are presented in a clear and concise manner. Each report includes annual trends in the data and as needed, cumulative trends since the beginning of the planning period (2012). It is also important to put the results into context by projecting the actual monitoring results over the 20-year planning period (2012-2032) and comparing the actual results to the original Envision Eugene planning assumptions.


Some data may be available in a relatively “live� format on the city’s website. Examples may include the number of building permits issued by use category and an approximation of available buildable land supply. However, the most comprehensive and verified information shall be available in one of the following report types: a. Annual Report: An annual report includes information on development activity and the available buildable land supply. The trends of key data related to development activity and land supply is the focus of these reports. An accompanying narrative is kept to a minimum but generally includes a brief overview of the monitoring review period and focus of the report, explanation of the supporting graphs/tables, and highlighting any key trends in the context of the Envision Eugene planning goals. b. 3 Year & 5 year Report: A comprehensive report is provided within the first 3 years, and every 5 years after, and includes information on development activity, the available buildable land supply, and economic and demographic data. The trends of key data as well as other relevant data identified in Appendix B and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Envision Eugene strategies is the focus of the report. A more lengthy narrative is warranted, including all of the components of the annual report and as well as detail regarding longer-term trends (e.g. trends since 2012), a broader range of data sets, the relationship of necessary secondary and conditional data to key data, an evaluation of the effectiveness of Envision Eugene strategies, and brief summaries of economic and demographic trends where necessary. c. As Needed: Additional reports may also be provided on an as needed basis, for example due to city, state or federal changes (to assess any impact of regulation or programmatic changes on the buildable lands supply), an external event, new studies, or to monitor trends that require a longer timeframe than five years to evaluate. As needed reports focus on trends in data relevant to the circumstances initiating the report. Information may be presented at either an annual or 3 year report level of detail and narrative. See reporting framework below.

*The first annual report will be prepared following adoption and cover any full calendar year(s) between the 2012 BLI (12/31/12) and the date of adoption. After that, annual reports will be prepared every year.

Step 4

Analyze Results

The monitoring results are reviewed to determine if they are ready for public distribution or if an indepth level of review is needed. Analysis of the results is coordinated primarily with a technical advisory committee (TAC), with the Planning Commission and Sustainability Commission reviewing the analysis. The monitoring results are reviewed as follows: Initial Review The initial monitoring reports, including staff’s assessment of what the results mean, are reviewed by the TAC. The TAC reviews for errors as well as provides technical expertise such as regarding if data is performing outside of the normal projections, if there are gaps in the data and whether an in-depth level of review is needed. This may entail looking at past trends, annual and cumulative results, reasonable ranges for the data, related secondary or conditional data, and 20 year trend projections. It is anticipated that the results of most annual monitoring reports (and some as needed reports) will be a


simple review, where after reviewing the trend using one or more of the previously identified tools, the trends are determined to be relatively in-line with the previous planning assumptions and no additional review is necessary. If an in-depth review is not necessary, the annual monitoring or as needed report can be publically released. In-depth Review Triggers In some cases, a more in-depth level of review of the monitoring results may be necessary to understand both the causes and implications of the information reported. Circumstances that may necessitate an in-depth review for each report type include: 

  

Annual Report- The annual report includes a significant variation of some data from the initial planning assumptions. “Significant variation” may include one or more of the following: a. A new population forecast for Eugene’s UGB is issued by Portland State University b. The key data when projected out shows a significant divergence from the assumed trend by the end of the 20-year planning period (see Appendix H, Range Variations for Quantitative Data) c. Multiple data sets appear to be in a divergent trend d. At least 50% of the forecasted population is met (placeholder until HB 2254 rules are complete) e. At least 50% of the buildable land is developed (placeholder until HB 2254 rules are complete) 3 & 5 year Report- The first 3 year and all 5 year reports warrant an in-depth review. As Needed Report- As needed reports may require an in-depth review depending on the circumstances that initiated the reporting. In-depth review of any report may be initiated for other reasons as directed by City Council.

In-depth Review Process An in-depth review is defined by additional rigor in determining the cause, magnitude, and implications of data trends, as well as the potential for recommended actions. In-depth review is conducted as a partnership between staff and the TAC, and may include one or more of the following activities:  

   

One or more TAC meetings Analysis of exploratory questions regarding any divergent trends. Questions could include, for example: Is the data set too small to make any assumptions about? Is one project skewing the results? Are changes driven by a major economic, natural, cultural event? If yes, was it a onetime event? Does the divergence look like a fluctuation or is it an actual changing trend? Exploring hypothetical scenarios of what would be necessary to get the data projections back in line with the original projections Use of a land use simulation software that is relevant to the monitoring analysis, such as UrbanSim (http://www.urbansim.org), to help visualize the impacts of the data results Discussion of options to adapt to changing trends and needs TAC recommendation to staff regarding potential actions (Step 3), including pros and cons for implementing or not implementing the recommended action


Recommendations 

TAC Review & Recommendation. Based on the in-depth review, the TAC may make a recommendation to staff regarding whether additional action, or a range of actions, should be taken. Considerations may include: o Is there an action the City can take in the context of addressing development capacity, or is it out of the City’s control? o Is action necessary in the context of the planning period, or is there enough time left in the planning period for the divergent trends to align with the projections? o The TAC could recommend that action is not necessary at this time. In this case, the report can be released to the public with no further review necessary. o The TAC could recommend that action is necessary, and if so, provide an action recommendation to staff.

Step 5

Take Action

Following an in-depth analysis, a determination must be made regarding whether or not the monitoring results warrant action by the city to address changing trends and needs. The process for making this determination allows for rational analysis, transparency, and participation while protecting the community’s investment in planning efforts and ensuring a needed measure of adaptability. Action Decision The TAC and staff recommendations for moving forward may warrant additional review and/or a decision from others including the general public, the City Manager, the Planning Commission, the Sustainability Commission or the City Council. The Planning Commission and Sustainability Commission are important reviewers in this analysis. For instance, a recommendation to start a new UGB planning review process (action option d) is a new project that ultimately must be directed to staff by the City Council. Action Options Because predicting future growth needs is challenging, a wide spectrum of potential actions must be considered to meet the community’s needs and changing circumstances. Recommended actions may include the following: a. Do nothing; wait and see how the trends play out for one or more years b. Direct staff to explore contingency measures, i.e. possible future actions that may be considered later if trend divergence continues. These could include a) focusing on programmatic efforts to slow consumption of land supply within the existing Envision Eugene policy framework, such as through greater investment in current programs, b) undertaking urban reserve planning to identify where future UGB expansion might occur, or c) reconsideration of previous City Council actions or policies that may be relevant to the current situation c. Direct staff to implement new or previously identified solutions (e.g. previously identified contingency measures under b)


d. Direct staff to accelerate a new UGB planning review process (current date of next comprehensive review is 2032, or planning year 20). This option may require consideration of a new policy framework from Envision Eugene, new efficiency measures, and new UGB expansion areas.

Step 6

Program Evaluation

The Monitoring Program shall be periodically evaluated to ensure efficiency, accuracy and that the program goals are being achieved. The collection and reporting tasks identified in the Monitoring Program have been developed without full knowledge of how the information will be used in the future. This calls for a system that is both comprehensive and flexible. To ensure the adaptability and success of the program over time, a comprehensive evaluation shall be conducted approximately every three years. Review of program adjustments may be conducted as follows:  

Adjustments regarding data collection will be reviewed by the TAC at least annually Major adjustments to the program, such as reporting frequency or in-depth review triggers and process, will be reviewed by the TAC and other bodies as necessary

Envision Eugene Technical Advisory Committee Bylaws For any collaborative process to proceed smoothly it is helpful for those involved to agree at the outset on the purpose of the partnership and on the procedures and principles by which the group understands it will conduct its interactions and decision making. This document will serve as a basis for discussion.

Name The name of this committee shall be the [Envision Eugene Technical Advisory Committee (EETAC)]

Purpose Envision Eugene Pillar seven, Adaptable, Flexible and Collaborative Implementation, is the impetus for the Growth Monitoring Program. Pillar seven requires the creation of an on‐going monitoring system to collect and track key information about how Eugene grows, and to use this information to evaluate the effectiveness of the Envision Eugene strategies. The purpose of the Growth Monitoring Program is to provide the information needed by the community and decision makers to periodically assess the validity of growth planning assumptions and inform the effectiveness of strategies adopted as part of the comprehensive plan and urban growth boundary and determine if any additional action is needed. To achieve this purpose, a successful Growth Monitoring Program requires that review and analysis of monitoring be coordinated with a technical advisory committee that is comprised of community members with diverse interests and areas of technical expertise and city staff. The work of the EETAC will serve to inform policy decisions by City Council, provide feedback to staff on policy‐related guidance to Council, and maintain institutional memory regarding the monitoring efforts.

Roles & Responsibilities EETAC members must gradually master, at a high level, the City’s land use planning framework, and be capable of participating in the monitoring process. The EETAC member duties include:  To learn about and understand the factors for monitoring Eugene’s growth. o Be able to understand the entire land sufficiency model and other applicable models related to all seven of the Envision Eugene pillars. o To review monitoring reports and associated data to monitor growth trends and assess growth strategies. o To explore related technical questions to further a factual understanding of conditions and compare assumptions to actual outcomes.  Provide guidance to staff and Council: o To advise staff on possible actions, or a range of actions, that may be needed to address changing trends. o To periodically evaluate the monitoring program for adjustments.  To serve as liaisons, connecting the general public, key community members, community groups and organizations, to the monitoring work and encouraging participation in its process. EETAC Staff liaison duties include:  Coordinating EETAC meetings, including scheduling, drafting meeting agendas, and communicating with the committee chair or vice‐chair.  Draft meeting summary notes.  Serve as a liaison between the EETAC, community organizations, and City departments.  Provide technical expertise (e.g., formal staff reports) and advice to the EETAC.

Start and end meetings on time unless the group agrees to extend the meeting time. F. Official action may be taken by the EETAC when a quorum is present. A quorum shall consist of a simple majority of the voting members. G. Meetings should be conducted according to most current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order except for decision‐making processes which shall follow the Consensus Based process identified in the Decision‐making Process section of these by‐laws. H. The proceedings of all meetings shall be summarized by city staff and made available to all EETAC members at least one month in advance of the next meeting. I. In the event of a lack of a quorum, the Chair may form a subcommittee to take action on a recommendation to the full EETAC, for consideration at the next meeting with a quorum. J. At least annually, the Chair, vice‐chair, or full EETAC will participate in a meeting(s) with the City Council on relevant issues. Decision‐making Process A. When significant deliberative decisions are made, the EETAC shall follow a modified consensus based decision‐making model. a. The issue or proposal shall be presented and an opportunity given for clarifying questions and discussion. A committee member will then make a motion, clearly declaring the contents of the motion to the committee. Another member of the committee must second the motion. b. Next, a “call for consensus” shall be made, with each voting member holding up a “thumbs up” to support the motion as stated, a “thumb sideways” to express reservation and/or concern about the motion as stated, or a “thumbs down” to block the motion as stated. i. If all members display a “thumbs up,” the proposal passes. ii. If three or more members display a “thumb sideways,” the proposal does not pass on the first and second calls for consensus. The “thumb sideways” indicates any type of significant discomfort with the motion as stated. In this case, after

Draft TAC Bylaws‐ October 20, 2015

pg. 4


Monitoring Program Appendices ACTION PLAN

the call for consensus, any members who displayed a “thumb sideways” are given an opportunity to voice their concerns and/or make amendments. iii. If one or more members display a “thumbs down,” the proposal does not pass on the first and second calls for consensus. The “thumbs down” represents strong opposition to the proposal based on the best interest of the group and its acknowledged role. In such cases, the person blocking should be prepared to articulate their concerns and to work toward resolving the issues and to offer an alternative proposal or amendment. iv. In cases where a proposal fails on the first call for consensus, there may be discussion and a second call for consensus. If the proposal fails a second time, it is permissible to ask for a vote where the proposal passes if supported by at least a 2/3 majority, as rounded up to the nearest whole number. A voting quorum consists of half of active committee members plus one. The decision to do this shall be made by the chair of the meeting reflecting the overall feeling among the members. v. Closing options will depend on the motion made, and may include approving the proposal, sending it to a subcommittee for further revision, tabling the proposal, or deciding to abandon the proposal. B. For decisions that are other than “significant deliberative decisions”, the EETAC will use a thumbs‐up/thumbs down “straw poll” vote based on a simple majority.

Termination A. A [four‐year] term shall be continuous except under the following conditions: a. A member’s unexcused absence from two consecutive meetings or three meetings in a year shall be considered as a de facto resignation. The EETAC may vote on dismissal of the member after three consecutive unexcused absences. Before a member is dropped for reasons of absence, he/she shall be notified in writing. A dismissed member may apply to be reappointed by the City Manager. b. The member submits his/her resignation. c. A member’s disruptive or non‐collaborative behavior during two consecutive meetings or three meetings in a year meetings. The EETAC may vote on dismissal of the member after disruptive or non‐collaborative behavior during two consecutive meetings or three meetings in a year meetings. Before a member is dropped for reasons of disruptive or non‐collaborative behavior, he/she shall be notified in writing. A dismissed member may apply to be reappointed by the City Manager. Amendments A. Recommendations for amendments to these Bylaws shall be passed by 2/3 vote of the membership of the EETAC. The proposal for amendments in Bylaws shall appear on the published agenda. The text of the proposed amendments in Bylaws must be sent to all EETAC members not less than fourteen calendar days in advance, unless the amendment is of such an urgent nature as to make shorter notice to EETAC members necessary, in which case it may be included with the meeting notice and agenda.

Plan for a higher proportion of new housing stock to be multi‐family than the 39% to All Income Levels of multi‐family that currently exists. Increasing the proportion of multi‐family housing is intended to expand the variety of housing types and the prices available, and ot address shifting demographic trends towards an aging population and smaller household size. Approximately 15,000 new homes are expected to be constructed in the next 20 years. A mix of 55% single‐family and 45% multi‐family is being planned for the new homes. When combined with Eugene's existing inventory of housing, this represents an overall mix of 60% single‐family and 40% multi‐family.

The average percentage of a development site that is needed for public rights‐of‐way . To estimate the total amount of land needed for housing (such as for a UGB exapansion) including the amount needed for rights‐of‐way, the net acres needed is multiplied by the average percentage of land needed for public rights‐of‐ way. That amount plus the net acres equals the gross acres needed for housing The amount and location of required open space, which is therefore not buildable and should not be counted as additional housing capacity.

A sample of the percentage of housing units that are vacant. To estimate the total number of housing units required to plan for, the forecasted number of units is multiplied by the vacancy rate, and that number plus the forecasted number of units is the total number of units required to plan for.

(How is it currently calculated?) LCOG collects the Oregon Employment Department 10 year forecast every 2 years and cleans up the data so it is allocated geographically (rather than by employer). Planning then categorizes the employment growth by pre‐determined employment sectors. The net number of new jobs is derived from the QCEW data.

Includes everything within Eugene's UGB. Importance: Is the actual population in line with the 20‐year population forecast? Linked Data: Acres of vacant, partially vacant land Definition: The sum acreage of the two buildable land inventory categories of vacant and partially vacant land. The amount of vacant and partially vacant land with new development during a specific time period is deducted from each category resulting in a remaining buildable land inventory. Importance: How much of the buildable land inventory has been built on and how much remains? Linked Data: Location, plan designation, density Type of land developed Definition: The category that the land being developed is identified as within the Buildable Lands Inventory as mapped in GIS. Those categories are: Vacant‐ land with a vacant land use and $1,000 or less of improvement value Partially Vacant‐ Land with more than $1,000 of improvement value, meeting a minimum size threshold and which meets previously established criteria regarding sufficient land for additional development Developed‐ Land not already identified as vacant, partially vacant, committed or protected, or newly developed land with a developed land use or over $1,000 of improvement value. Redevelopment‐ Redevelopment capacity is derived from new development on Developed land that adds more dwelling units or employment building square footage than was there before. For residential development, a development that removes one dwelling unit and adds another is not considered redevelopment because there is no net gain in dwelling units. Importance: How much of the buildable land inventory has been built on and how much remains? Related Data: Location, plan designation, density Etc.
