<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />C. Staff Presentation <br /> <br />Mr. Leahy summarized the status of the record. He said that at the conclu- <br />sion of the October 2, 1991, Joint Planning Commission meeting, it was decid- <br />ed that all three governing bodies would allow public testimony that is based <br />on evidence in the record. New testimony may be offered at this hearing <br />based on new recommendations of the planning commission to the extent that <br />those recommendations are in the record. He said that there are no major <br />deviations from the planning commissions in the record to date. <br /> <br />Susie Smith, Springfield Development Services staff, presented the staff <br />report. She said that most of the controversy centers around relatively few <br />issues. She said that this plan is the sixth in a series of Springfield- <br />initiated refinement plans, and is a refinement to the Eugene/Springfield <br />Metropolitan Area General Plan. She noted that half of the Gateway area lies <br />in urbanizable land and has rural qualities, natural assets, river frontage, <br />and land that is currently in agricultural use. That area is designated in <br />the Metro Plan for future urban development. The Gateway Refinement Plan <br />merely included that Metro Plan designation. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith said that the City of Springfield began working on the plan in <br />1989. In 1990, the City appointed a 17-member plan advisory committee (PAC). <br />Thirteen of the members were residents within or adjacent to the refinement <br />plan area. Four ex officio members were appointed--two Springfield Planning <br />Commissioners, a Springfield City Councilor, and a Lane County Board of Com- <br />missioners representative. In April 1991, a set of draft plan recommenda- <br />tions was released to the planning commissions. Other efforts were made to <br />involve the public and residents of the area, including contacting interested <br />parties, conducting workshops, and providing information to the public. In <br />October 1991, the Springfield Planning Commission held a public hearing. <br />After reviewing the plan, the Springfield Planning Commission provided recom- <br />mendations. The Lane County Planning Commission reviewed the plan, but had <br />no recommendations. The Eugene Planning Commission agreed with the Spring- <br />field Planning Commission's recommendations for the items that it is respon- <br />sible for. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith described information contained in a packet provided to the elected <br />officials, noting that it included the set of criteria for approving a re- <br />finement plan, proposed amendments to the Metro Plan, TransPlan, and the <br />Urban Facilities Plan, and proposed zone changes. She noted that the crite- <br />ria were read into the record at the time of the planning commission public <br />hearings. Four additional pieces of testimony to be added into the record at <br />this public hearing are also included in the packet. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith stated that the adoption of a refinement plan is treated as a leg- <br />islative matter. However, because of the site-specific nature of certain <br />recommended proposals, the City has chosen to treat those in a quasi-judicial <br />manner. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith stated that the Gateway area includes 400 acres outside the city <br />limits. She said that the area is not set up for future infrastructure plan- <br /> <br />MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials <br /> <br />January 29, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />
