Written Statement for Annexation SSW Job #18-7587 Page 4 of 6 consistent with the Metro Plan, and applicable plans and policies; however, existing agricultural zoning may be continued within the area between the city limits and UGB until rezoned for urban uses. The current Metro Plan land use designation applicable to the subject property is “Low Density Residential”. The River Road – Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted refinement plan for the subject property and also designates the area for “Low Density Residential” use. The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural (AG) with Water Resource Conservation (/WR) and Urbanizable Land (/UL) overlay zoning. The /UL overlay zoning will automatically be removed from the subject property following annexation approval, however the Agricultural (AG) base zoning shall remain pursuant to Metro Plan Policy A.2, the provisions at EC 9.7820(3), as well as Policy 2 at Section 4.2 (Urban/Agricultural Fringe Areas) of the “Environmental Design” element of the RR/SC UFP which states that in the event of annexation or incorporation, agricultural zoning shall be maintained on land to which it is currently applied until the property is needed for urban levels of development. In regards to other applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is not located within any of the defined subareas thereof. Further, none of the general “Residential Land Use Policies” at Section 2.2 are directly applicable to the proposed annexation of the subject property. The “Public Facilities and Services” element policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban services) is the assumption that property within the UGB will be annexed. Therefore, the RR/SC UFP in general supports the annexation, urbanization, and provision of urban facilities and services to properties within its boundaries. In consideration of the above, as well as relevant portions of the statements below addressing EC 9.7825 Annexation – Approval Criteria (3), the proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and applicable refinement plans and therefore satisfies EC 9.7825 Annexation – Approval Criteria (2). 9.7825 Annexation – Approval Criteria. (continued) (3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. The Metro Plan defines the “Minimum Level” of “key urban facilities and services” as including: “…wastewater service, stormwater service, transportation, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, city-wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and public schools.” Wastewater Service: City of Eugene / Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission wastewater service is available to the subject property via existing 8” public wastewater mains located within the adjacent portions of Dibblee Lane and Grizzly Avenue. Stormwater Service: Stormwater service is available to the subject property via an existing 24” public stormwater line running west to east through the subject property.
