public hearing on the PROS Comprehensive Plan. The process for adopting this resolution complies with Goal 1 since it complies with, and surpasses the requirements of the State's citizen involvement provisions. Goal 2 - Land Use Plannina: To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) is the policy tool that provides a basis for decision-making in this area. The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the State in 1982 to be in compliance with statewide planning goals. These findings and record show that there is an adequate factual base for decisions to be made concerning the proposed resolution. Goal 2 requires that plans be coordinated with the plans of affected governmental units and that opportunities be provided for review and comment by affected governmental units. The Goal 2 coordination requirement is met when the City engages in an exchange, or invites such an exchange, between the City and any affected governmental unity and when the City uses the information obtained in the exchange to balance the needs of the citizens. Because the PROS Comprehensive Plan does not regulate when or how park land will be acquired, but rather is an aspirational plan that sets forth the needs of the community and strategies for satisfying those needs, no other governmental units are affected by this resolution. Even though no other governmental units are affected by this resolution, in an effort to educate neighboring jurisdictions about the PROS Comprehensive Plan, the City took steps to provide neighboring jurisdictions an opportunity to comment on the proposed PROS Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, in accordance with the Metro Plan, notice and a copy of the proposed PROS Comprehensive Plan was mailed to the Planning Directors of Springfield and Lane County. Additionally, on September 27, 2005, City staff met with the Lane County Board of Commissioners to provide the Board information regarding the PROS Comprehensive Plan. In response to concerns raised by some of the Commissioners, the City made a number of revisions to the PROS Comprehensive Plan. On November 1, 2005, City staff met with the Lane County Planning Commission to provide the Commission with information regarding the PROS Comprehensive Plan. There are no Goal 2 exceptions required for this resolution. Goal 3 - Aaricultural Land: To preselVe and maintain agricultural lands. Goal 3 is not applicable to this resolution as the PROS Comprehensive Plan does not affect any agricultural land designation. The PROS Comprehensive Plan identifies the park and recreational needs of City residents and sets forth strategies for meeting the identified needs. The PROS Comprehensive Plan does not acquire, rezone or regulate any land inside or outside the acknowledged urban growth boundary. Therefore, Goal 3 is not relevant and the resolution does not affect the area's compliance with Statewide Exhibit A to Resolution No. 4858 2 of 10 - - - - - - - - ---~ =-------- - - - - - - - - _-------=---- - - I
