(Such a nice way you introduce yourself by your snarky comment re Chris Sundt.)

Do you support the south Willamette community's request for the _first_ step to be a process to develop a draft _Specific Area Refinement Plan_ through a "planning team" comprised of members of the community within the plan's boundaries?

That request is supported by the boards of the four neighborhood organizations: Friendly Area Neighbors, Southwest Hills Neighborhood Association, Southeast Neighbors and Amazon Neighborhood Association. It also was supported by over 650 people who signed a petition to City Council.

Using a "neighborhood refinement plan" approach is strongly supported by Shawn Boles. Shawn is a highly-regarded former City Councilor, member of the Sustainability Commission and the Envision Eugene Technical Resource Group, and a leading local voice in addressing climate change. Shawn supports creating or updating RPs as the best "template" for transit corridor, mixed-use development.
