Community Partnerships <br />- Members of the community have been very involved in this plan -concern and commitment for a healthy <br />downtown is very strong. The community involvement has been extensive and multifaceted, ranging from <br />city initiated events such as design workshops for the Downtown Vision and Courthouse District Concept <br />Plan, to citizen initiated discussions, such as the City Club series on downtown planning. Citizens have <br />been involved in both long term vision discussions and specific design decisions. A list of relevant projects <br />and planning documents is included below. <br />Numerous organizations and agencies have partnered with the City in the development and review of the <br />updated Downtown Plan. These include EWEB, University of Oregon, Lane Transit District and the Or- <br />egon Department of Transportation. These organizations have overlapping interests and commitment, <br />and all have a stake in a healthy downtown. <br />Related Plans and Policy Documents <br />This plan updates and replaces the Eugene Downtown Plan, approved in 1984. This plan is a refinement <br />to the Eugene Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The plan is generally based on <br />the Downtown Vision, which was approved in 2000. The policies included in this plan will direct future <br />actions, including land use decisions and public and private investment in downtown. The Downtown <br />Plan is not the only document guiding actions and decisions in downtown. Other adopted refinement or <br />functional plans, such as the Central Area Transportation Study and the Skinner Butte Master Plan, also <br />apply downtown, in addition to city-wide documents such as the Growth Management Policies and the <br />Stormwater Basin Master Plans. <br />As appropriate, policies and policy direction from other recent plans and studies are reflected in the <br />policies in this plan. A list of those planning documents is provided below; adopted policy documents are <br />shown in bold. These documents provide a finer level of information and detail about particular areas or <br />project downtown and are available through the City of Eugene Planning and Development Department. <br />Where the policies of this plan conflict with adopted policies in previous plans, this most recent plan <br />prevails. <br />1.
