Eugene Ordinance Exhibit B [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit B] Statewide Planning Goal 13 — Energy Conservation Statewide Planning Goal 13 -- "To conserve energy." The State has not adopted specific rules for complying with Statewide Planning Goal 13. Consistent with Goal 13, the City of Eugene's plans for accommodating growth are based on a philosophy of compact urban development, with land use regulations to preserve livability. The adoption package does not adopt or amend a local energy policy or implementing provisions. Statewide Planning Goal 14 — Urbanization OAR Chapter 660, Division 24 Statewide Planning Goal 14 -- "To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities." Urban Growth Boundaries Urban growth boundaries shall be established and maintained by cities, counties and regional governments to provide land for urban development needs and to identify and separate urban and urbanizable land from rural land. Establishment and change of urban growth boundaries shall be a cooperative process among cities, counties and, where applicable, regional governments. Historically, the Cities of Eugene and Springfield shared a single, regional UGB. ORS 197.304 (passed in 2007) required Eugene and Springfield to divide their shared UGB along Interstate 5, resulting in two separate UGBs for Springfield and Eugene. In 2011, the City of Springfield and Lane County took the legal actions necessary to establish that UGB division. Through other actions taken by the City of Eugene and Lane county in 2017, the precise location of Eugene's UGB was described, including two expansion areas (in the Clear Lake and Santa Clara areas) to accommodate Eugene's 20 -year need for employment land, two parks and a school site. The actions taken in this ordinance neither establish nor expand the Eugene UGB. Through this action, the City of Eugene demonstrates that the Eugene UGB includes sufficient land to meet Eugene's residential needs through 2032. Therefore, it does not include an amendment / expansion of the Eugene UGB. Provisions of State law, Statewide Planning Goals and DLCD rules that clearly pertain only to establishment or expansion of a UGB are not addressed in these findings. Land Need Establishment and change of urban growth boundaries shall be based on the following: 20 Final
