Blue River Complete Community Plan Project

Community Meeting in Blue River - April 30, 2024 @ 6 pm McKenzie High School &
Virtual Public Workshop Live April 26 - May 10

Staff have been working hard on drafting and editing a draft of the Blue River Complete Community plan since December 2023. We plan to present the draft Plan to the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) in late April.

 

The draft Plan will be posted to the project website along with a Virtual Workshop starting April 26 until May 10th. We plan to hold an in-person Community Meeting from 6:00-8:00 pm on April 30th in the new gym at McKenzie High School


After the Community feedback is collected, any necessary edits will be made and the full adoption package will be prepared. The adoption package will include the Blue River Complete Community Plan, amendments to the Rural Comprehensive Plan, zoning amendments, findings of fact, a draft ordinance, and possibly other material.


Project Purpose and Transportation Relationships and Benefits

The purpose of TGM Code Assistance Blue River Complete Community Plan is to create a community plan and amend the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan and the Lane County Zoning Ordinance to implement the community plan and Oregon Administrative Rules for the Blue River rural community. The amendments will 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 employment lands located within the community boundary. The project will help people meet their daily needs by the mode of their choice, with a particular emphasis on walking, biking, and transit.
