Draft 9/29/14 In addition, it is important to recognize that the written text of the Metro Plantakes precedence over the Metro PlanDiagram where apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. The Metro Plan Diagram is a generalized map which is intended to graphically reflect the broad goals, objectives, and policies. As such, it cannot be used independently from or take precedence over the written portion of the Metro Plan. The degree to which the Metro Planprovides sufficient detail to meet the needs of each jurisdiction will have to be determined by the respective jurisdictions;.and wWhere conflicts exist among the Metro Plan,local comprehensive plans, refinement plans, and existing zoning, each jurisdiction will have to establish its own schedule for bringing the zoning and refinement plans into conformance with the Metro Planor the applicable local comprehensive plan. It is recognized that the needs, priorities, and resources vary with each jurisdiction and that the methods and timing used to implement the Metro Planor to conduct city-specific comprehensive planning will also vary. Relationship to Other Plans, Policies, and Reports The Metro Plan is the basic guiding land use policy document for regional land use planning, but it is not the only such document. As indicated in the Purpose section, above, the region also utilizesthe Metro Plan is a framework plan, and it is important that it be supplemented by more detailed refinement plans, programs, and policies. Due to budget limits and other responsibilities, all such plans, programs, and policies cannot be pursued simultaneously. Normally, however, those of a metropolitan-wide scale should receive priority status. Refinements to the Metro Plan can include: (a) city-wide comprehensive policy documentsplans, such as the 1984 Eugene Community Goals and Policies; (b) functional plans and policies addressing single subjects throughout the area, including the such as the 2001 Eugene-Springfield Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services Plan)and 2001 TransPlanthe regional transportation system plan; and (c) neighborhood plans or special area studies that addressthose issues that are unique to a specific geographical area. In all cases, the Metro Plan is the guiding documentfor regional comprehensive land use planning and city- specific plans may be adopted for local comprehensive land use planning,.and rRefinement plans and policies must be consistent with applicable provisions in the Metro Planor the applicable local comprehensive plan. Should inconsistencies occur, theapplicable comprehensive planMetro Planis the prevailing policy document. The process for reviewing and adopting refinement plans is outlined in Chapter IV.
