Attendees are encouraged to arrive at any time. A presentation will be provided beginning at approximately 7 p.m. Staff will be available throughout the meeting to provide information and answer questions. Attendees also may review a variety of meeting displays describing the working results of the scenarios evaluation process. Children are welcome to attend and activities will be provided for them. Attendees will also be shown how they can use an interactive, online tool to comment on the UGB scenarios. That online feedback tool will ask community members to weigh in on the relative importance of different evaluation criteria, identify a preferred UGB scenario and comment on possible approaches for managing future growth in Bend. The tool will be accessible from the City’s website, beginning on or before September 24. More information about the meeting and the project is available on the City’s UGB website: www.bendoregon.gov/bendugb.
The City’s UGB expansion project is charting a path for Bend’s future growth. The UGB is a line on the City’s General Plan map that identifies Bend’s urban land. This land represents an estimated 20-year supply of land for employment, housing and other urban uses. The community has an opportunity to develop a plan for future growth that reflects the community’s values and meets state planning requirements.
