3. Preliminary review of Eugene's comprehensive capital improvement program suggested <br /> a full range of services could not be provided immediately even if the areas were annexed <br /> at one time. <br /> <br /> Based on these three conditions, a situation evolved which led to a set of findings, objectives, <br /> and policies for inclusion in the Metro Plan and ultimately will lead to delivery of urban services <br /> to the River Road and Santa Clara areas in cooperation with the residents of these <br /> neighborhoods. That situation is as follows. <br /> <br /> The City of Eugene constructed and owns the main se-nita-~psewage~ast.e~a, ter system that <br /> serves the River Road and Santa Clara neighborhoods. Eugene has altered its policies pertaining <br /> to the service delivery to both River Road and Santa Clara to allow incremental annexation. <br /> Annexation must, however, be consistent with state law and other applicable local policies (e.g., <br /> the ability of the city to deliver k.~y...urb~...faci!i.ti.~s...and services in a timely manner). Eugene <br /> will pursue annexation only in accordance with applicable state laws and will not use these <br /> mechanisms to circumvent the process. In every case, Eugene will make every reasonable <br /> attempt to provide for annexation only on a voluntary basis and in accord with previous <br /> individual property annexation agreements. The City, in conjunction with Lane County and the <br /> citizens of both River Road and Santa Clara, developed a River Road-Santa Clara Urban <br /> Facilities Plan which is responsive to the basic service infrastructure which is either in place or <br /> contemplated for these areas. An integral part of the implementation phase of the River Road- <br /> Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan is a financing mechanism which takes into account the <br /> financial abilities of residents/property owners and the City of Eugene to pay for service delivery <br /> in that area. <br /> <br /> The following findings, objectives, and policies reflect the situation that evolved: <br /> <br /> Findings, Objectives, and Policies <br /> <br /> Findings <br /> <br />1. Land supply in the River Road and Santa Clara areas is of metropolitan-wide <br /> significance. <br /> <br />2. In order to achieve urban densities, urban services, including public-san/taT <br /> sewer-s~g~.~e.,,&serv.:==:~..e, must be provided. <br /> <br />3. For a long period of time, officials of Lane County and Eugene have made great efforts to <br /> resolve the service delivery problems for both River Road and Santa Clara. <br /> <br />4. The history and pattern of development in River Road-...ar~dSanta Clara have resulted in <br /> the creation of two unique metropolitan neighborhoods. <br /> <br />5. The most cost-effective method of service delivery is through annexation. <br /> <br /> II-F-2 <br /> <br /> <br />
