Home Browse Search

The Metropolitan Plan is based on the premise that Eugene and Springfield, the two existing cities, are the logical providers of services accommodating urban levels of development within the urban growth boundary, and To be meaningful, the Plan requires cooperation by all general purpose, special district, and special function agencies in the community. This reflects its comprehensive nature encompassing physical land use, social, and economic implications for the metropolitan area. Examples where cooperation are essential include planning and implementation of a transportation system, development of a metropolitan-wide energy plan, metropolitan-wide analysis and resolution of certain housing issues, and planning for areas outside the urban growth boundary and within the Plan.
