3 2. Consistency with the fundamental principles and applicable policies of the Metro Plan: The Glenwood Refinement Plan is consistent with and based on the premises within the Metro P1 an's fundamental principles . The refinement plan i s wel 1 supported by specific policies within the Metro Plan. Fundamental Principle.Z of the Metro Phan "requires cooperation by all gener- al purpose, special d~str~ct, and special function agencies in the community" page ~I:l}.. Although the work on the refinement plan was coordinated by Eugene, ~t did involve the cooperation of Lane County, Springfield, the Glenwood Water District, the Eugene Water & Electric Board, the Springfield Utility Board, and Willamalane Park and Recreation District. Fundamental Principle 3 "requires that urban development occur in a compact configuration within a prescribed urban service area" page II-I}. The draft Glenwood Refinement Plan supports this premise by recognizing Glenwood's unique position in the central part of the Metropolitan area and allowing for its future urban~zat~on when sanitary sewers are available. Fundamental Principle 6 is based on the premise that "Eugene and Springfield, the two existing c~t~es, are the logical providers of services accommodating urban levels of development within the urban growth boundary" page III}. The Glenwood Refinement Plan is also based on this premise and makes rovi- p sion far the future extension of urban services into Glenwood upon annexa- tion. This is consistent with the earlier adoption by the three jurisdic- tions of the Glenwood Jurisdictional Study. The Growth Management and the Urban Service Area section of the Metro Plan has several policies which are addressed in the refinement plan: Polic 9: Annexation to a city th,o~~h normal process shall continue to be the highest priority III-B•5}. Pai i c I5: U1 ti mately, 1 and wi thi n annexed to a city and provided with services . .. III-B-fi} the urban growth boundary shall be the required minimum level of urban Palic I7: As annexations to cities occur over time, existing service districts within the urban growth boundary shall be dissolved. The cities should consider developing intergovernmental agreements, which address transition issues raised by annexation, with affected special service districts III-B-6}. The refinement plan contains a discussion on urban transition and annexation ~~rhich provides for annexation to Eugene on a . ~~n~~~~ta!^y.hasis fnlle~~t;;g normal processes. It is an underlying basis of the refinement plan that Glenwood will eventually be annexed to Eugene and provided with urban servic- es. 4 - Exhibit C
