CHAPTER 1 <br />Within the UGB, the planning sub-area boundaries follow census block <br />group lines so that census data can be matched to each planning <br />sub-area. Outside the UGB, the planning boundaries follow natural or <br />road features and, where feasible, census tract boundaries. <br />The City of Eugene provides the majority of parks, facilities, and <br />programs within this planning area. However; city residents also <br />benefit from parks and facilities owned or managed by other public <br />agencies within the region.- A variety of amenities, trails, and <br />recreation facilities are contributed by these organizations: <br />• University of Oregon (UO) <br />• Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) <br />^ Lane County Parks <br />^ Lane County Fairgrounds <br />^ River Road Park and Recreation District (RRPRD) <br />• Eugene School District 4J <br />• Bethel School District 52 <br />• Willamalane Park & Recreation District <br />• Bureau of Land Management <br />• -The Nature Conservancy <br />C. The Planning Process <br />The comprehensive planning process for the Eugene PROS <br />Comprehensive Plan included four phases (Figure 1): <br />^ Identifying community needs; <br />• Creating and' confirming a future vision; <br />• Developing strategies and a detailed plan of action; and <br />^ Obtaining approval for the plan from the City Council. <br />Public involvement was a major component of all four phases of the <br />planning process. <br />Phase I: Needs Assessment <br />Phase I involved significant outreach to community members to <br />identify their key issues, priorities, and perceived needs. A Community <br />Needs Assessment incorporated the findings from a variety of public <br />involvement activities, along with a community profile, a <br />demographic profile, and a technical analysis of programs, parks and <br />facilities, and finances. <br />~~ <br />,~,. <br />:. <br />- .._ ~. __ <br />City of Eugene PROS Comprehensive Plan 3 <br />Draft. <br />
