The Metro Planreplaced the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area 1990 General Plan (1990 Plan), which was adopted in 1972. The Eugene City Council and the Springfield City Council adopted identical versions of the Metro Plan in 1980: Eugene City Council, Ordinance No. 18686, July 28, 1980 Springfield City Council, Ordinance No. 4555, August 4, 1980 The Lane County Board of Commissioners adopted a different version of the Metro Plan in 1980: Original adoption, Ordinance No. 9-80, adopted August 27, 1980 Amended adoption, Ordinance No. 9-80-A, adopted October 14, 1980 The two versions of the Metro Plan and supporting documents were forwarded to the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) with a request for acknowledgment of compliance with the 15 applicable statewide planning goals. In reports dated June 25-26, 1981, and September 24-25, 1981, and adopted by LCDC on August 6 (amended version of June 25-26 report) and September 24, 1981, respectively, LCDC outlined the requirements necessary to bring the August 1980 versions of the Metro Plan into conformance with state standards. From September 1980 to February 1982, Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County cooperated, with coordination and technical assistance from the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG), to amend the August 1980 versions of the Metro Plan. The three general purpose governments used the Elected Officials Coordinating Committee (two elected representatives each as voting members and one ex-officio Planning Commission member from each government) to work out informal compromises and provide policy direction to staff. In response to LCDC’s requirements, 10 working papers were prepared and draft Metro Plan amendments were released for public review. After a joint public hearing by the Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County Planning Commissions on November 17, 1981, and joint public hearings by the Eugene City Council, Springfield City Council, and Lane County Board of Commissioners on December 15, 1981, and January 12, 1982 (Goal 5), the three governing bodies informally agreed to a set of the amendmentsin this documentto constitute the first version of the identicalMetro Plan adopted by Eugene, Springfield and Lane County. i
