EUGENE — The proposed $227 million University of Oregon basketball arena is already getting a green light from city planners, if the school meets a list of conditions.

A report issued a week before an October 7 public hearing sets out 18 conditions the city wants the university to meet to win approval.

University officials say an initial review of the report indicates no problems on the list.

The 40-page report includes conditions such as setting up a special event parking district to help keep basketball fans from clogging neighborhood streets.

The 12,500-seat arena is to replace the aging McArthur Court by fall of 2010.
