July 16, 2026 EETAC Meeting

The City of Eugene's EETAC meeting on July 16, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing the Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) and related urban growth strategies. Staff and consultants presented detailed analyses of land classifications within the urban growth boundary, including committed, constrained, developed, partially vacant, and undeveloped lands. They discussed methodologies for estimating residential capacity, including adjustments for buildable acreage, density factors, and deductions for street right-of-way and other public land needs. The meeting included discussions on data accuracy challenges, such as discrepancies in tax lot designations and improvement values, and the impact of these on capacity estimates. The group also addressed upcoming steps involving efficiency measures, potential rezonings, and the need for further data refinement before finalizing housing capacity estimates. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the meeting highlighted ongoing planning efforts that could influence future land use and development-related procurements. The committee also planned to update bylaws and scheduling for future meetings.
