City approves permit for new UO basketball arena
This is a press release courtesy of the City of Eugene The City of Eugene has finalized the approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the new University of Oregon Basketball Arena following the closing of the appeal period on the land use decision. The $200 million dollar facility has cleared the final land use hurdle, and the University can proceed to submit building permits for the construction of the arena. Planning Director Lisa Gardner said, “The completion of the land use application process for the U of O Arena is a significant milestone for our community, and is an accomplishment that many should be proud of. The community came together with the University with their sleeves rolled up, and all parties focused on positive outcomes. The result of that hard work was the Arena agreement that was the foundation for the Hearings Official's decision. It is also significant that the University of Oregon received approval for a $200 million Arena permit in less than five months. I believe this accomplishment highlights a 'can-do' attitude reflective of our community, and the benefits will be seen immediately in the positive economic impact of the construction project.
