<br />ATTACHMENT D <br /> <br />PROS Comprehensive Plan <br />Planning Commission Recommendations <br />November 8,2005 <br /> <br />Recommend approval of the PROS Comprehensive Plan with the following <br />amendments. <br /> <br />1. Replace the first paragraph of Chapter 1, Section B of the PROS Compo Plan with the <br />following language from the November 8th staff report, with some modifications <br />allowed: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />"When identifying parcels for park acquisition, the preference is on obtaining <br />properties that are in close proximity to residents, and therefore within <br />Eugene's UeB. However, there are some instances when it may become <br />necessary to look outside of the UeB. For example, it is a goal of the PROS <br />Comprehensive Plan to provide a variety of outdoor experiences for Eugene <br />residents, including the rural, natural qualities that one encounters in the <br />Ridgeline Park system. Additionally, there may be times when the type and <br />size of parcels which are sought to provide specific park services are not <br />available within the UeB because of previous development. Although the <br />provision of parks, open space and recreation services is a valuable service, it <br />does not always trigger a UeB expansion, as in the case of the Eugene <br />Airport." <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />"The question implies that the City, through the adoption of the PROS <br />Comprehensive Plan, is attempting to exercise governmental authority <br />outside of the UeB. Adoption of the PROS Comprehensive Plan does not <br />amount to the City exercising any governmental authority outside of the <br />UeB or outside of the City's limits. As noted in the PROS Comprehensive <br />Plan, the document has no regulatory effect on land not under the City's <br />jurisdictional authority. The PROS Comprehensive Plan is not intended to <br />have any legal or regulatory effect for land located outside City limits. It is <br />strategy/planning document that is intended as a guide for the City as it <br />moves forward to meet the recreational and park needs of the City's <br />residents." <br /> <br />2. Include in Chapter 1, Section B of the PROS Compo Plan the following language from <br />Rivers to Ridges: <br /> <br />· Rely on voluntary participation of property owners when acquiring <br />land or purchasing conservation easements. A key objective of this <br />study is to devise strategies that will not infringe upon the rights of <br />property owners and will stress voluntary participation. Most park <br />
