Metro Plan Policies <br /> <br />1. Policy 8 (Growth Management and the Urban Service Area Element Page [J-B-4) "Land <br /> within the urban growth boundary may be converted from urbanizable to urban only <br /> through annexation to a city when it is found that: <br /> a. A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an <br /> orderly and efficient manner, <br /> b. There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban services a~nd <br /> facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the <br /> Metropolitan Plan. <br /> <br />Development of this area can progress sequentially, as is typical throughout the Eugene Urban <br />Growth Boundary. Properties need not annex until such time as development or need for City <br />services are desired. After the property is annexed, urban services are provided to accommodate <br />new development. A full complement of urban services can be provided within two years to may <br />site in the study area. Street improvements to Garden Way, scheduled to commence in 2002, will <br />provide the sanitary- sewer, storm drains, natural gas, and bicycle and pedestrian circulation <br />system needed to develop the remaining vacant land within the study area. Extensions of <br />infrastructure to serve internal development sites will typically be extended by the developer. The <br />Q St~reet Channel drains stormwater runoff. The City recently purchased 4.0 acres adjacent to the <br />Q Street Channel for a new public park. Eugene School District 4J maintains Washington <br />Elementary, Monroe Middle School, and Sheldon High School nearby. The area is already served <br />by public transit. <br /> <br /> Policy 9 (Growth Management and the Urban Service Area Element Page [J-B-__~ "A £~i1 <br /> range of key urban facilities and services shall be provided to urban areas according to <br /> demonstrated need and budgetary priorities. <br /> <br />In addition to key urban services, the plan provides for continued transit service to the site, <br />provision of natural gas service, and stoma drainage. City code provides for street lighting. Local <br />park land has been purchased; park improvements have yet to be funded. A branch library has <br />been opened in the Sheldon neighborhood. <br /> <br />Policy 16 (Growth Management and the Urban Services Area Element Page [J-B-5) <br />"Ultimately, land within the urban growth boundary shall be annexed to a city and <br />provided with the required minimum level of urban services. While the time frame for <br />amnexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions fkom urbanizable to <br />urban.'~ <br /> <br />Standard City procedures, ~vvhich will remain effective in this nodal development area, provide for <br />the urbanization of urbanizable land xvithin the urban growth boundary. The plan also provides <br />for eventual annexation of land within the planning area to the City of Eugene and provides for <br />the required minimum level of urban services. <br /> <br />Exhibit A - 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
