In the <br /> subject neighborhood, several parties including the owners of <br /> the subject have explored the possibility of extending the <br /> boundary. <br /> 1 According to the City of Eugene and Lane County, an Urban <br /> Growth Boundary adjustment is not impossible but is <br /> extremely difficult and requires several steps by both <br /> governing bodies. The goal of the City of Eugene is to <br /> continue to focus on infill projects within city limits before <br /> addressing the possibility of extending the boundary. <br /> However, it is a well known fact that infill lots are not typically <br /> large enough to support development that requires a large <br /> number of acres. The age of the current boundary (originally <br /> set in the 1980's) combined with the small number of infill sites <br /> available in the south Eugene neighborhood suggests that <br /> the boundary in the subject neighborhood could be <br /> adjusted in the near term. Although these factors support a <br /> boundary adjustment, steps to move the line are still difficult <br /> and time consuming. <br />
