Recommendations for land
parcel could limit venue space
Development plans are
underway for parking lots
surrounding WOW Hall
BYRYANMURPHEY
PULSE REPORTER
An allocations subcommittee for the
City of Eugene will make its recom
mendation this month for the develop
ment of the land parcel surrounding
the WOW Hall. The final decision could
limit the WOW Hall's ability to accom
modate touring bands' vehicles, as
well as create conflicts with potential
neighbors over concert noise.
Tax lots 14100,14200, 13500 and
13700 were purchased last year by
the City of Eugene with Federal Com
munity Development Grant funds for
the purpose of developing mixed-in
come and low-income housing. Lots
14100 and 14200 are currently used
as surface parking, 13700 contains
the vacant commercial building adja
cent to the WOW Hall, and 13500 is
currently used as a loading and un
loading space for the venue.
The city issued a request for pro
posals on June 30 of last year, along
with a set of criteria the proposals
must meet. The criteria given in the re
quest stated that the development of
the site must combine mixed-income
housing with ground floor non-residen
tial use and that at least 51 percent of

behind WOW Hall
last week. This
month, a City of
Eugene committee
will make a
recommendation for
the development of
| the land parcel
surrounding WOW
Hall-a decision
that could limit the
WOW Hall's ability to
accommodate
touring bands'
vehicles.

the housing must be permanent hous
ing affordable to low-income house
holds. It also states that tax lot 13500
must remain available to the WOW
Hall for loading and unloading.
Proposals were received from the
Community Center for the Performing
Arts, Private Public Partnerships, Inc.,
West 8th Avenue Development Group
and the Metropolitan Affordable
Housing Corporation.
The CCPA is attempting to purchase
tax lot 13500 to ensure their contin
ued use of it as a loading and unload
ing area, but they believe it is unlikely
they will be able to do so. The propos
als submitted by both the West 8th
Avenue Development Group and the
Metropolitan Affordable Housing Cor
poration state that the WOW Hall will
be given unlimited use of tax lot
13500 and the Metropolitan Afford
able Housing Corporation’s proposal
actually indicates their intention to sell
the lot to the WOW Hall. Kent Jennings
of Jennings Development (the develop
ment company that has been out
sourced by Metropolitan to oversee
the project) said that they intend to
ask for $50,000 for the lot, which will
then be reinvested in acoustic up
grades for the hall. He says the com
pany is doing all it can to make sure
the WOW Hall is allowed to operate un
hindered by the development.
