It identifies the applicable rules, and the aspects of locally-adopted land use plans that would require amendments. It also describes the approvals and associated mandated processes that would apply. Although this analysis was prepared following consultation with planning directors and legal counsels from each jurisdiction, it should be considered a preliminary assessment at this time. Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) and the Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP) Compliance with state land use goals (ORS 197, OAR 660) is a requirement of all acknowledged comprehensive plans. The primary goal that governs public facilities infrastructure (water, sewer, transportation) is Goal 11 Public Facilities and Services. The rule implementing this goal is OAR 660-011 Public Facilities Planning. The rule requires cities with populations greater than 2,500 to adopt a public facilities plan and incorporate certain elements of the public facilities plan into the comprehensive plan. The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the State of Oregon in April, 1982. Subsequent to acknowledgement, the Metro Plan has been amended through separate “post-acknowledgement” action of Eugene and Springfield; through joint adoption of “post-acknowledgement” actions by Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County; and through the periodic review process, also adopted by Eugene, Springfield and Lane County. The Metro Plan’s public facilities component, which includes Chapter III-G as well as the separate functional plan, the PFSP, were prepared, adopted and acknowledged in 1982, updated in 1987, and updated again in 2001. Chapter III-G of the Metro Plan and the PFSP were recently amended (2004) with new information related to sanitary sewer service projects and policies (These latest amendments are currently the subject of multiple appellate challenges). ? describes thewater,sewerand transportation By rule, a public facilities plan “… facilitieswhichare tosupport the land uses designated in the appropriate acknowledgedcomprehensive planswithin an urban growth boundary …” (OAR 660-011-0005) Page 10
