Chapter II <br /> Fundamental Principles and <br /> Growth Management Policy Framework <br /> <br /> This chapter contains Fundamental Principles that reflect the overall themes of the Metro Plan. <br /> The chapter also contains: Metr0~olitan Goals; Growth Management Goa_l_s_._F_indings, and <br /> Policies; Eugene and Springfield Jurisdictional Responsibility; Urban and Urbanizable Land; <br /> River Road and Santa ClaraGo.a!.s, Findings and Policies; and Metro Plan Dia_.m-am. <br /> <br /> A. Fundamental Principles <br /> <br />I There are seven p_fi~nciples themes-that are bagic or fundamental to the entire Metro Plan. They <br /> are implicitly included in the various individual Metro Plan components. These Fundamental <br /> Principles are: <br /> <br /> 1. The Metro Plan is a long-range policy document providing the framework within which <br /> more detailed refinement plans are prepared. This concept is discussed in more detail in <br />I ~ the Introduction (Chapter I). <br /> <br /> 2. To be meaningful, the Metro Plan requires cooperation by all general purpose, special <br /> district, and special function agencies in the community. This reflects its comprehensive <br /> nature encompassing physical land use, social, and economic implications for the <br /> metropolitan area. Examples where cooperation is essential include planning and <br /> implementation of a transportation system, development of a metropolitan-wide energy <br /> plan, metropolitan-wide analysis and resolution of certain housing issues, and planning <br /> for areas outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) and within the Plan Boundary. <br /> <br /> 3. The Metro Plan and most of its elements are oriented to and require that urban <br /> development occur in a compact configuration within the metropolitan UGBa--pr-eseht~t <br /> · urban ~zr,'icz area. Elaboration of this principle is treated in the other sgections B, C, D <br /> and E of this chapter, and inthe Public Facilities and Services Eelement in Chapter III. <br /> <br /> 4. Comprehensive plans identify and establish the plan-zoning consistency concept and <br /> recognize the importance of timing concerning implementation techniques. <br /> Implementation techniques, including zoning, shall generally be consistent with the <br /> precepts established in the Metro Plan, which is the broad policy document for the <br /> metropolitan area. The consistency test shall continuously be applied to implementation <br /> measures and public actions taken to rectify inconsistencies when the general direction <br /> provided by the Metro Plan is modified. A variety of potential solutions to consistency <br /> problems exist, including modification to the Metro Plan or alteration to the <br /> implementation techniques themselves. <br /> <br /> 5. The zoning process shall be monitored and adjusted to meet current urban land use <br /> demands through the planning period for all land use categories. <br /> <br /> II-A- 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
