The findings and policies in this element are organized by the following four topics related to the provision of urban facilities and services. Policy direction for the full range of urban facilities and services, including wastewater service, may be found under any of these topics, although the first topic, Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary, is further broken down into sub-categories. · Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary · Planning and Coordh~ation · Water · Stormwater · Electricity · Schools · Solid Waste · Services to Areas Outside the Urban Growth Boundary · Locating and Managing Public Facilities Outside the Urban Growth Boundary · Financin~ Services to Develol)ment Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Plannin~ and Coordination Findings 1. Urban expansion within the UGB is accomplished through in-fill, redevelopment, and annexation of territory which can be served with a minimum level of key urban services and facilities. This permits new development to use existing facilities and services, or those which can be easily extended, minimizing the public cost of extending urban facilities and services. 2. In accordance with Statewide Planning Goal 11 and OAR 660, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of water, wastewater and stormwater, describes respective service areas and existing and planned water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities, and contains planned facilities maps for these services. Electric system information and improvements are included in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, although not required by state law. Local facility master plans and refinement plans provide more specific project information. 3. Urban services within the metropolitan UGB are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, EWEB, SUB, the MWMC, electric cooperatives, and special service districts. 4. The Public Facilities and Services Plan finds that almost all areas within the city limits of Eugene and Springfield are served or can be served in the short-term (0-5 years) with water, wastewater, stormwater, and electric service. Exceptions to this are stormwater service to portions of the Willow Creek area and southeast Springfield and full water service at some higher elevations in Eugene's South Hills. Service to these areas will be available in the long-term. Service to all areas within city limits are either in a capital improvement plan or can be extended with development., III-G-3
