Draft 9/29/14 Each city is taking a different approach to, and is on a different time line for,establishing its own UGB, 20-year land supply and city-specific comprehensive land use plans. As this incremental shift occurs, the Metro Planwill be amended several times to reflectthe evolving extent to which it continues to apply to each jurisdiction.During this transition, the three jurisdictions will also continue to work together on any other Metro Planamendmentsneeded to carry out planning responsibilities that continue to be addressed on a regional basis. ORS 197.304 allows the cities to adopt local plans that supplant the regional nature of the Metro Plan“[n]notwithstanding . . . acknowledged comprehensive plan provisions to the contrary.” As these local plans are adopted, Eugene, Springfield and Lane County wish to maintain the Metro Planas a guide that willdirect readers to applicable local plan(s) when Metro Plan provisions no longer apply to one or more of the jurisdictions. Therefore, whenEugene or Springfield adopts a city-specific plan to independently address a planning responsibility that was previously addressed on a regional basis in the Metro Plan,that citywill also amendthe Metro Plan to 2 specify which particular provisions of the Metro Planwill cease to applywithinthat city. Unless the Metro Plan provides otherwise, such Metro Plan provisions will continue to apply within the other city.If the other city later adopts its owncity-specific plan intended to supplant the same Metro Plan provisions, it may take one of two actions. That citywill either amend the Metro Plan to specify that the particular provisions also cease to apply within that city or,if the provisions do not apply to rural or urbanizable areas within the Metro Plan boundary, to simply delete those particular Metro Plan provisions. To better enable the jurisdictions to amend the Metro Planas required by ORS 197.304, the procedures for amending the Metro Plan, provided in Chapter IV, were revised in 2013.The Eugene City Council, the Springfield City Council, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners adopted identical amendments to Chapter IV ofthe Metro Plan on November 18, 2013: Eugene City Council, Ordinance No. 6304 Springfield City Council, Ordinance No. 20519 Lane County Board of Commissioners, Ordinance No. PA 1300 As more specifically explained in Chapter IV of the Metro Plan, one city with co-adoption by 2 Lane County may amend the Metro Planto specify whichparticular Metro Plan provisions no longer apply within the unincorporated (urbanizable) portions of its UGB. The other city is not required to co-adopt such a Metro Planamendment.SeeChapter IV. iv
