Draft 9/29/14 <br />G.30 Facility providers shall coordinate with Lane County and other local jurisdictions and <br />obtain the necessary county land use approvals to amend the Lane County Rural <br />Comprehensive Plan, or the Metro Plan, as needed and consistent with state law, to <br />appropriately designate land for urban facilities located outside the UGB or the Plan <br />Boundary. <br />G.31 The cities shall coordinate with Lane County on responsibility and authority to address <br />stormwater-related issues outside the Plan Boundary, including outfalls outside the <br />Springfield portion of the UGB. <br />G.32Measures to protect, enhance, or alter Class F Streams outside the UGB, within the Plan <br />Boundary shall, at a minimum, be consistent with Lane County’s riparian standards. <br />G.33 New schools within the Plan Boundary shall be built inside the UGB. <br />Financing <br />Findings <br />43. ORS 197.712(2)(e) states that the project timing and financing provisions of public <br />facility plans shall not be considered land use decisions. <br />44. ORS 223.297 and ORS 223.229(1) do not permit the collection of local systems <br />development charges (SDCs) for fire and emergency medical service facilities and <br />schools, limiting revenue options for these services. Past attempts to change this law <br />have been unsuccessful. <br />45. Service providers in the metropolitan area use SDCs to help fund the following facilities: <br />Springfield: stormwater, wastewater, and transportation; <br />Willamalane Park and Recreation District: parks; <br />SUB, Rainbow Water District: water; <br />Eugene: stormwater, wastewater, parks, and transportation; and, <br />EWEB: water. <br />46.Oregon and California timber receipt revenues, a federally-funded source of county road <br />funds, have declined over the years and their continued decline is expected. <br />47.Regular maintenance reduces long term infrastructure costs by preventing the need for <br />frequent replacement and rehabilitation. ORS 223.297 to 223.314 do not allow use of <br />SDCs to fund operations and maintenance. <br />48.The assessment rates of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County are each different, <br />creating inequitable financing of some infrastructure improvements in the metropolitan <br />area. <br />III-G-15 <br />Replaced October 31, 2008 <br />
