Draft 9/29/14 5 A set of working papers was developed for the 1982 Metro Planthat describes the relevant issues and factors concerning each subject, and from these analyses, findings were drawn. These findings, in turn, formed an important share of the basis for the goals, objectives, and policies in this plan. In addition, several new or expanded elements were developed from working papers, partly to comply with LCDC Goals. The 1978 Technical Supplement, a product of the working papers and the various reports prepared during preparation of the first MetroPlandiagram, is available under separate cover. It was written for use by those who wish more information on the technical aspects of the Metro Plan and its preparation. It can also be of assistance for in-depth analysis of metropolitan planning issues. The working papers and Technical Supplement have been amended through updates of individual elements in Chapter III. During major updates, working papers and the Technical Supplement are reviewed and updated as part of a comprehensive work program. Applicable working papers and the Technical Supplementare referenced by ordinance when subsequent Metro Plan amendments are adopted. As new information is obtained, draft working papers may be prepared in advance of proposed amendments to integrate the new information into the Metro Plan data base. A current list of working papers is maintained by LCOG. General Assumptions and Findings The following general assumptions and findings relate to the entire Metro Plan. They are included in the Introduction because of their general application. General Assumptions 6 1. A population of 286,000 is expected to reside within the metropolitan UGB by the year 2015. This is a 29 percent increase from the estimated 2000 census population of 222,500. Since this Metro Plan is designed to accommodate the expected population rather than remain static until 2015, it can be adjusted periodically as changes in population trends are detected. 2. Based on recent trends, the rate of population growth and the rate of in-migration are projected to decrease. 3. In addition to population growth, increasing household formation rates (i.e., decreasing average household size) will increase the demand for housing. 5 The working papers are on file for public use in the Springfield, Lane County, and Eugene planning offices, and at LCOG. 6 These General Assumptionsno longerapply within Springfield’s UGB (east of Interstate 5) as a result of Springfield’sestablishment of its separate UGB and 20-yearsupply of residential land.Springfield Ordinance No. 6268 (June 20, 2011); Lane County Ordinance No.PA 1274 (July 6, 2011).
