Policy 1. As annexation occurs, Eugene shall provide for a level of police service comparable to that received in the remainder of the City. As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies. The annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. The following policies from the River Road and Santa Clara Goals, Findings, Objectives, and Policies section are also relevant to the request: Objective 2. Capitalize on existing public expectations by providing further public services which will allow the River Road and Santa Clara areas to achieve urban densities. Objective 3. Deliver a full range of urban services to the River Road and Santa Clara areas through annexation. The following policy from the Transportation Element (Chapter III) is relevant to the request: Policy F.14. Address the mobility and safety needs of motorists, transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and the needs of emergency vehicles when planning and constructing roadway system improvements. Annexation of these two sections of River Road will create clear boundaries for police and other City services, which increases the effectiveness and efficiency of these services. In the current case, speed limits on these sections of River Road are not being enforced. Annexation will also allow for future city road improvements that will benefit residents and businesses in the area. Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and applicable refinement plan. EC 9.7825(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, YES NO efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: Wastewater This is not relevant as the road sections will not be developed with commercial or residential uses. Stormwater There are existing public stormwater lines within River Road. Lane County currently owns and will continue to own and maintain the public storm system within the right-of-way after the annexation. Transportation These two sections of River Road will continue to operate as a key transportation facility. River Road (A 17-6) May 2017 Page 2
