<br />ATTACHl\IENT C <br /> <br />Chapter II <br />Fundamental Principles and <br />Growth IVlanagementpoUcy Frame\vork <br /> <br /> <br />A. Fundamental I)rinciples <br /> <br />There are seven gi:inyjpJ~;:,)h>fH+6-that are fundamental to the entire A1etro Plan. They <br />are impHcitly included in the various individual Metro Plan components, These Fundamental <br />Principles are: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />The A1etro Plan is a long-range policy document providing the fnnnework within which <br />more detailed refinement plans are prepared. This concept is discussed in more detall in <br />the Introduction (Chapter I). <br /> <br /> <br />,., <br /> <br />To be meaningful, the Metro Plan requires cooperation by an 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. Exarnples where cooperation is essential include planning and <br />implementation of a transportation system, development of a metropolitan-wide energy <br />plan, mctropolitan-vv'ide analysis and resolution of certain housing issues, and planning <br />lor areas outside the urban groWth boundary (UGB) and within the Plan Boundary. <br /> <br />3~ <br /> <br />The /v/etm Plan and most of its elements an~ orienh..:d to and require that urban <br />development occur in a compact configuration \\'ithin lj)gi)}<;;tmp9ljJiH\UGB{+'fH{:';~{j;'J:ih<6i+ <br />Elaboration of this principle is treated in },b,~;ooi~kh~L;';.Sections <br />of this chapter, and Li}the Public Facilities and Services E01ernent in Chapter m. <br /> <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />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 docu;m~nt 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 l'vfetro Plan is rnoditled. A variety of potential solutions to consistency <br />problems exisC including modification to the Metro Plan or alteration to the <br />implementation techniques themselves. <br /> <br />), <br /> <br />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 />ll-A-J <br />
