When urban growth is allowed to occur without consideration for the physical <br /> characteristics of the land, it creates problems that are then difficult to solve. <br /> <br /> &3 ........ The development and implementation of planning policies have social and economic <br /> impacts. <br /> <br /> 5.~47 :Financial and taxing inequities are generated when urban development is allowed to <br /> occur in unincorporated areas on the periphery of Springfield and Eugene because many <br /> residents of such developments are at least partially dependent on streets, parks, and other <br /> non-direct fee facilities and services provided by those cities and financed from their <br /> revenues. <br /> <br /> 1-8 <br /> <br /> <br />
