Draft 9/29/14 Major Influences The Metro PlanDiagram reflects the influence of many sources. Particularly noteworthy are the following: 1. The Land Conservation and Development Commission’s (LCDC) Statewide Planning Goals, as published in April 1977, and subsequently amended. 2.The 1990Plan, predecessor of this documentthe Metro Plan; particularly the concept of compact urban growth. 3. Adopted neighborhood refinement and city-specific community plans. 4. Adopted special purpose and functional plans. 5.Information generated through preparation of working papers (1978 and 1981) used in the earlyupdate process.

Their most significant provisions are contained in the Technical Supplement of the Metro Plan, printed and available under separate cover. Subjects examined include public services and facilities; environmental assets and constraints, including agricultural land, the economy, housing, and residential land use, and energy, all in terms of existing conditions and projected demand. Land Use Designations Land use designations shown in the Metro PlanDiagram are depicted at a metropolitan scale. Used with the text and local plans and policies, they provide direction for decisions pertaining to appropriate reuse (redevelopment), urbanization of vacant parcels, and additional use of underdeveloped parcels.

As part of this transition, the boundaries of Plan designation areas within in the metropolitan aUGB are determined on a case-by-case basis, where no parcel-specific designation has been adopted. Certain land uses are not individually of metropolitan-wide significance in terms of size or location because of their special nature or limited extent. Therefore, it is not advisable to account for most of them on the Metro Plan Diagram. The Diagram’s depiction of land use designations is not intended to invalidate local zoning or land uses which are not sufficiently intensive or large enough to be included on the Metro Plan Diagram. The Plan designation of parcels in the Metro Plan Diagram is parcel-specific in the following cases: 1.Parcels shown on the Metro Plan Diagram within a clearly identified Plan designation, i.e., parcels that do not border more than one Plan designation; II-G-2
