School Board Begins Conversation About Civic Stadium
02/05/10 – The 4J school board has begun a careful and thoughtful discussion of options for the Civic Stadium property. This week, the district’s real estate consultant team, Sue and Hugh Prichard of Prichard Partners, presented several options and a recommendation that the district use a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to elicit offers for the Civic Stadium property, and rezone and sell a smaller adjacent property separately.
At its next meeting on Feb. 17, the school board will consider three questions:
• Shall the school district initiate its Land Use Decision Process, which would lead to a decision on whether to offer the property for sale?
• Shall the school district begin the process of obtaining a zone change for the smaller parcels to the north of the Civic Stadium property, from R-1 low-density residential to R-2 medium-density residential?
• Shall the school district begin the process of obtaining a permit to remove the stadium structure? The demolition permit process typically takes at least 16 months and could be suspended at any time.
If the board initiates the Land Use Decision Process, the school district plans to hold a community meeting on Thursday, February 25 at 7 p.m. at South Eugene High School to discuss the proposal to sell the Civic Stadium property.
