Water and electric service within the plan area, which is inside the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary, will be provided by the Eugene Water and Electric Board. 5. Policy A.2 (Residential Land Use and Housing Element Page IH-A-6) "Residentially designated land wkhin the UGB should be zoned 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 the UGB until rezoned for urban uses." Adoption of the zoning amendments affects only properties inside the City limits. Rezoning urbanizable properties will occur following annexation to the City of Eugene. Until annexation and rezoning occur, urbanizable land will retain its existing zoning~ some of which is zoned AG- AgriculturefUL. The AG zoning may remain until the owners annex to the City in preparation for development. Th~s is consistent with this policy. Policy A.8 (Residential Land (vS'e and Housing Element Page IH-A-d) "Require developers to pay the cost, as determined by the local jurisdiction, of extending public services and infrastructure. The cities shall examine ways to provide subsidies or incentives for providing infrastructure that support affordable housing and/or higher density housing." The City is providing an incentive for higher density housing by extending infrastructure in advance of development through Garden Way. New development in the area will be required to pay the cost of extending public services and infrastructure to individual sites pursuant to existing fbrmula that distributes costs equitably and allows credits for extraordinary infrastructure installation. The city has provided an incentive through the preparation of the nodal development plan that identifies means of developing the area in a manner that satisfies Metro Plan and refinement plan polities. 7. Policy A. 10 (Residential Land Use and Housing Element Page IH-A-8) "Promote higher residential density inside the urban growth boundary that utilizes existing infrastructure, improves the efficiency of public services and facilities, and conserves rural resource lands outside the urban growth boundary." The plan amendments utilize existing infrastructure (e.g., drainage, schools, community park, Garden Way and surrounding street network), improves the efficiency of transk service to the area, and conserves rural resource lands by providing for higher-density and mixed-use development inside the urban growth boundary. Residential areas are proposed to remain within the High Density Metro Plan and refinement plan designation and zoning. Uses w511 be arranged to maximize non-automobile modes of travel within the plan area, given the constraints of previous development patterns. Exhibit A - 9
