Policy 15. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions from urbanizable to urban. (page II-C-5) The following policy from the Residential Element of the Metro Plan is also applicable: Policy A.2 Residentially designated land within 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 UGB until rezoned for urban uses. The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for low-density residential use. The Willakenzie Area Plan (WAP) is the adopted refinement plan for the subject property, which also designates the area for low density residential use. The property is zoned R-1 Low-Density Residential with a /UL Urbanizable Land overlay. The /UL overlay will be automatically removed from the property following annexation approval. Regarding applicable policies of the WAP, the subject property is located within the North Region, Unincorportated Subarea. None of the listed policies for this subarea appear to be directly applicable to the subject property. The proposed annexation does not appear to conflict with any of the Land Use Policies or Residential Policies. The policies of the WAP are directed at local government; however, the premise of these policies (regarding the provision of urban services) is the assumption that the properties within the UGB will be annexed. As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. Based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and WAP refinement plan. EC 9.7825(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. Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: YES NO Staton Family Trust (A 21-3) April 2021 Page 2
