Amend section 9. of the Eugene Code (Subdivision and Planned Unit Development <br /> Tentative Approval Requirements) to require tentative plan submitted for subdivisions <br /> and planned unit developments show how the proposed street layout will connect and <br /> reasonably provide access to surrounding properties consistent with intent statements for <br /> street connectivity. Require stub streets to be located in the direction of existing or <br /> future arterial/collector streets or activity centers. <br /> 4. Amend section 9. of the Eugene Code (Subdivision and Planned Unit Development <br /> Tentative Approval Requirements) to require approval to be based on the following <br /> review criteria: These criteria would replace the existing secondary access provisions <br /> in the code <br /> a.

Stubs shall be located to <br /> provide for future block sizes consistent with code requirements for blocks <br /> (currently 1200 feet - propose 600 feet), unless it is demonstrated that a <br /> connection cannot be made because of the existence of physical constraints; and <br /> d.
