May 21, 2026 EETAC Meeting

The City of Eugene's EETAC meeting on May 21, 2026, focused primarily on the continuation of urban growth strategies and a contextual housing needs locational analysis. The discussion centered on a detailed technical approach to mapping community assets and environmental conditions within the urban growth boundary to inform housing planning for the next 20 years. The team presented their methodology involving a hexagon grid analysis to assess access to amenities like grocery stores, transit stops, parks, and environmental harms such as proximity to major transportation corridors. While no direct procurement or contracting decisions were made, the meeting highlighted the use of local data and state guidelines to support future housing production strategies and potential land use code amendments. The group also discussed the implications of transit access, environmental mitigation, and the integration of demographic data to guide equitable housing development. Future meetings were scheduled to continue this planning work, with no specific budget or contract awards addressed in this session.
