RESOLUTION NO. 4585 A RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 4469 THAT OPTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DECISION ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE METRO PLAN TO EXPAND THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY TO INCLUDE THE SPRINGFIELD SPORTS CENTER (ASSESSOR'S MAP 17-03-14-00, TAX LOT 1000). The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. The Metro Plan amendment process provides that the City of Eugene may participate in certain Urban Growth Boundary amendments initiated by the City of Springfield only if the Eugene City Council adopts a Resolution finding that the proposed amendment has "regional impact", as defined in the Metro Plan and Section 9.015 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and opts to participate in the decision. B. On November 9, 1995, the City of Eugene received a referral of the Springfield City Council Resolution initiating an Urban Growth Boundary ("UGB") amendment for property referred to as the Springfield Sports Center (Assessor's Map 17-03-14-00, Tax Lot 1000). Because this UGB change would not cross the Willamette or McKenzie Rivers or cross over a ridge into a new basin, the City of Eugene's participation in the decision was required only if the City Council took action to participate. C. Metro Plan Chapter IV, Plan Amendments and Refinements states that a proposed Metro Plan amendment will have regional impact if it will require an amendment to a jointly adopted functional plan (TransPlan, Public Facilities Plan, etc.) in order to provide the subject property with an adequate level of urban services. D. Although a traffic impact analysis had not been conducted for the Springfield Sports Center, Springfield staff reported that the proposed UGB amendment would likely require an amendment to TransPlan, although such an amendment would be processed as part of the TransPlan Update rather than concurrent with the UGB amendment. E. Based on that information, Eugene City Council adopted Resolution No. 4469, finding that the UGB amendment had regional impact and opting to participate in the Plan amendment decision process. During the Council's meeting, the City Council agreed to reconsider Resolution No. 4469 following completion of a traffic impact analysis of the proposed amendment. F. On January 13, 1999, the Eugene City Council received the traffic impact analysis prepared by Branch Engineering for the proposed Springfield Sports Center. Based on independent Resolution - 1
