County considers Blue River rezoning

Under the proposed changes Lane County would amend the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan and Lane Code Chapter 16 – Land Use and Development Code to implement a Complete Community Plan for the unincorporated community of Blue River.

The action would involve rezoning properties within the community of Blue River to “promote compact, small-town development patterns with an active and convenient pedestrian environment along a mixed-use Blue River Drive, higher density development near Lane Transit District bus stops and the McKenzie River Community School, and mixed-use lands located within the community boundary.”

The Lane County Planning Commission will conduct a work session regarding the draft Complete Community Plan on Tuesday, July 16th, and a Public Hearing on Tuesday, August 6th. The work session will begin at 6 p.m. and the public hearing will begin at 7 p.m. in the Goodpasture Room, Lane County Customer Service Center, 3050 North Delta Highway in Eugene.
