Introduction <br />realization. Adoption of the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan does not <br />necessarily commit the City to immediately carry out each policy to the letter. <br />The City will carry out the policies to the best of its ability, given sufficient time <br />and resources. <br />Relationship to Other Adopted Plans <br />The Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan is one plan among a family of land <br />use plans at the state, regional and local level. As a state -mandated land use <br />plan, the comprehensive plan has defined relationships to other adopted plans. <br />At the state level, Statewide Planning Goals, related statues and administrative <br />rules provide a framework for all local land use planning. All policies in the <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan must comply with these rules, providing <br />a local framework for the broader vision of planning in Oregon. <br />At the regional and local level, the two applicable comprehensive plans are the <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan and the Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan <br />Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan is <br />the basic guiding policy document for land use planning within the urban <br />growth boundary for the City of Eugene. The Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan <br />Area General Plan is the basic guiding land use policy document for regional <br />land use planning. <br />As noted above, the full development and adoption of all chapters of the <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan will take place in several steps, over <br />several years. During that time, Metro Plan policies that have not been <br />explicitly replaced with policies in the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan will <br />continue to apply to Eugene. If inconsistencies occur between the Envision <br />Eugene Comprehensive Plan and the Metro Plan, the Envision Eugene <br />Comprehensive Plan is the prevailing policy document. <br />Within the urban growth boundary, some adopted plans refine the policies of <br />the comprehensive plans to a greater level of detail in some way. Eugene's <br />refinement plans (including all adopted land use studies and plans) must be <br />consistent with applicable provisions in both the Envision Eugene <br />Comprehensive Plan and the Metro Plan. As is true for the Metro Plan, if <br />inconsistencies occur between the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan and a <br />refinement plan, the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan is the prevailing <br />policy document, as required by state law. <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan I July 2017 i -a <br />
