LH Fund 3 (A 18-8) December 2018 Page 2 <br />Policy 15. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with <br />the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time <br />frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions <br />from urbanizable to urban. (page 11-C-5) <br />The following policy from the Residential Element of the Metro Plan is also applicable: <br />Policy A.2 Residentially designated land within the UGB should be zoned consistent with <br />the Metro Plan, and applicable plans and policies; however, existing <br />agricultural zoning may be continued within the area between the city limits <br />and UGB until rezoned for urban uses. <br />The Metro Plan designates the property to be annexed as appropriate for low-density <br />residential use. The Willakenzie Area Plan (WAP) is the adopted refinement plan for the <br />subject properties and also designates the area low density residential development. The <br />property is currently zoned AG Agricultural and /UL Urbanizable Land Overlay. The /UL <br />overlay will be automatically removed from the zoning following annexation approval. It <br />is noted that prior to development consistent with the plan designation, the properties <br />will need to be rezoned to R-1 Low -Density Residential Zone. <br />With regard to applicable policies of the WAP, the subject property is located within the <br />North Region, Unincorportated Subarea. None of the listed policies for this subarea <br />appear to be directly applicable to the subject property. The proposed annexation does <br />not appear to conflict with any of the Land Use Policies or Residential Policies. The <br />"Public Facilities and Services Element" policies of the WAP are directed at local <br />government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban <br />services) is the assumption that the properties within the UGB will be annexed. <br />As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) <br />below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management <br />policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation <br />procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found <br />throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. <br />Therefore, based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable <br />policies of the Metro Plan and refinement plan. <br />EC 9.7825(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key <br />urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an <br />orderly, efficient, and timely manner. <br />Complies <br />Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a <br />boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be <br />❑ <br />❑ NO <br />YES <br />provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: <br />Wastewater <br />There is an 8 -inch public wastewater line in Walton Lane on the eastern boundary of the <br />subject property.
