Documents in this category include plans, studies, or inventories of natural resources within a city's planning jurisdiction. Some documents were required by Goal 5 of Oregon's Statewide Planning Goals. Others respond to requirements of the federal Endangered Species Act.

    Eugene : Goal 5 water resources conservation plan
    (City of Eugene (Or.), 2005-11-15) Eugene (Or.)
    Oregon’s statewide planning goals provide the framework for land use planning within the state. Statewide Planning Goal 5 requires all Oregon cities and counties “to conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources.” The Goal itself, plus Oregon Administrative Rules establish specific procedures and criteria for Goal 5 compliance. The City of Eugene was required by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), through the Metropolitan periodic review work program, to address Goal 5 requirements for wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife habitat sites. This Plan contains several components of the City’s Goal 5 process for wetlands, riparian corridors and wildlife habitat. [From the Plan]

    This report contains documentation of a five-month inventory and assessment of over 2600 acres of upland habitats on public and private land in the South Ridgeline area of Eugene, Oregon. The South Ridgeline Habitat Study (SRHS) was undertaken to document the location, quantity, and quality of upland habitat, and suitability of habitat for uncommon and rare species in the area, and to do so in a way that meets the inventory standards contained in the administrative rules for Statewide Planning Goal 5.... This report contains: 1) background information about the study area, including ecological history; 2) methodology for inventory and assessment ratings; and 3) a summary of results.

    Eugene : West Eugene wetlands plan
    (City of Eugene (Or.), 2004-05) Eugene (Or.); Lane Council of Governments (Or.); Eugene (Or.). Planning and Development Dept.; Eugene (Or.). Public Works Dept.; Eugene (Or.). Financial Management Services Division; Eugene (Or.). Business Assistance Team; Eugene (Or.). Intergovernmental Relations Dept.; Lane County (Or.)
    There were four major objectives of the West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study: 1. To use the best information to help the community understand the choices available; 2. To find a balance between environmental protection and sound urban development which meets state and federal laws and regulations; 3. To provide opportunities for involvement of all interested segments of the community in Plan development; and 4. To turn a perceived "wetlands problem" into a "wetlands opportunity" for the community.... this Plan addresses wetlands and economic development as critical parts of a healthy, livable community. While the plan contains more detailed goals, policies, and recommended actions, the thrust of the Plan can be understood by reviewing the following highlights, the Wetland Designations Map (Map 3) and the Wetlands Conceptual Plan Map (Map 4).
