Eugene Ordinance Exhibit B [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit B] Exhibit B Findings for Ordinance Establishing Sufficiency of Eugene UGB for Purposes of Residential Land The findings, below, present State criteria first, then local government criteria. The State criteria are presented in order of the Statewide Planning Goals. State statutes and administrative rules are addressed under the Statewide Planning Goal to which they relate. Statewide Planning Goal 1— Citizen Involvement Statewide Planning Goal 1 -- "To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process."

The information obtained in these exchanges was used to balance the needs of the citizens. Although the actions taken by this ordinance Final
