~)., ... , . II. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION Responding to the request of the Board of Commissioners, both the Citizens Advisory Team and RR-SC Policy Committee (councilors Holmer and Miller represent the Council on this Committee) spent considerable time considering possible changes to the draft land Use Element. Attachment A shows changes to the text developed by the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAT) and Policy Committee. The Board included all of these modifications as part of its adoption of the land Use Element. As a result of written testimony presented to the Board (Attachment B) the Commissioners also included a change in plan designation from residential to commercial for one lot located on the northeast corner of River Road and Hilcrest Street. This change is to be reflected in the Plan Diagram. e The changes contained in both Attachments A and B ei ther refl ect efforts to clarify pol icy statements or specifically designate single parcels for future commercial development. III. CONCLUSION Development in the River Road and Santa Clara areas has occurred without benefit of a coordinated public facility plan. Since acknowledgement of the t~etropol itan Plan substantial progress has been made in developing a coordinated urban service delivery and land use program for the area. The CAT, which has actually developed both the Sanitary Sewer and Land Use Elements is now. working on the Public Facilities Element. This element will address Parks and Recreation facilities, Schools, Water and Electricity, Storm Sewers, Library facilitfes, Street lights. and Solid Waste collection systems. Through the work of the CAT, and direction contained in the UFP, greater efficiencies in service delivery will ultimately be achieved. This will benefit the residents and property owners in River Road-Santa Clara and the entire Eugne-Springfield Metropolitan area. e IV. RECOMMENDED ACTION Based on the consi stency of the draft land Use Element with the Metropol itan Plan and the process used for its development, the staff recommends its adoption with the changes contained in Attachment A. .
