adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. Goal 2 has two elements: compliance with established land use planning processes and demonstration of the appropriate grounds for any necessary actions, including exceptions. Part I. Compliance with Established Planning Processes This proposal to adopt revisions to TransPlan and to amend the Metro Plan text is con- sistent with Plan amendment provisions found in the Metro Plan, as codified in the Eugene Code, Springfield Development Code and Lane County Code. The Metro Plan and TransPlan are acknowledged pursuant to provisions specified by the Land Conserva- tion and Development.Commission. The proposed adoption of a revised TransPlan as a refmement plan of the Metro Plan is consistent with the provisions of the Metro Plan and the applicable statewide planning goals. Provisions in the Springfield Development Code (SDC 77.010 to 7.110), Eugene Code (BC 9.118 to 9.136), and Lane Code (LC 12.240) specify the means by which the Metro Plan may be amended. The process for reviewing the requested amendments follows the procedures outlined in the Springfield, Eugene and Lane County Codes and the require- ments ofORS 197.610 et. seq. and of OAR 660 Division 18 for post-acknowledgement plan amendments, thus conforming with the established land use planning process con- sistent with Goal 2. The development of the revisions to TransPlan and amendments to the Metro Plan pro- ceeded through the process outlined under Goal 1 , Citizen Involvement above, moving from the general discussion of problems toward a more focused concentration on specific provisions to deal with the identified issues. At every phase of the process, opportunities were provided for citizen input. The citizen involvement process is detailed in TransPlan Appendix C and summarized in the findings of compliance with Goal 1, Citizen In- volvement. The proposed revisions to TransPlan were guided and made possible by the collection of a significant amount of relevant information, mchidfng traffic levels and other transporta- tion facility uses, regional and local development plans, the development of transporta- tion alternatives and other matters. The capacities and limits of the natural resources of the planning area, the location and condition of all important structures and transportation facilities and the population and economic characteristics of the area were considered in the development of revisions to TransPlan. A list of background documents used in the preparation of TransPlan is provided in TransPlan Appendix D. Part II.
