INTRODUCTION
In the next several months, JWN and other Eugene residents will have a chance to weigh in
on the Eugene Comprehensive Lands Assessment (ECLA), a City process that may cast the
die for decades in terms of Eugene’s residential and industrial development.
By April 2010, City Council will make decisions on whether Eugene has enough suitable land
within the current Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to accommodate twenty years of projected
housing and industrial development. The UGB assessment is almost certain to be followed
by pivotal Council decisions on development policies that will affect established residential
neighborhoods, as well as natural areas, inside the UGB.oin your neighbors for an evening of
music, food, fun and frivolity at the McNail-Riley House.
