To: The Plarming Commissions of Springfield, Eugene and Lane County From: Gregory Mort, Planning~~~'v · Date: 20, 2004 --'--- Subject: Metro Plan Text Amendments, Public Facilities and Services Plan Amendments ~sue The Metro Plan and the Public Facilities and Services' Plan (PFSP) are proposed to be amended to: 1. clarify the relationship between the types of facilities projects included in the PFSP and projects ~.at appear in local capital improvement plans; 2. update the PFSP maps based on neW.statutory provmons; 3. reflect current conditions and planned regional wastewater facilities consistent with the MWMC Facilities Plan; 4. resolve inconsistencies among metro-wide planning documents; and, 5. adopt a separate amendment process for the Public Facilities and Services Plan. Discussion The proposed amendments are considered Type I Metro Plan amendments because for the most part they are nOn-site specific amendments of the Plan text. Amendments to the Plan text, which text includes functional plans such as TransPlan and the PFSP, that are non site-specific require approval by all three governing bodies to become effective (See SDC 7.070(1)(a), Eugene Code 9.7730(1)(a), and Lane COde 12.225(1)(a)(i)). The planning commissions will conduct the initial evidentiary hearing and then forward the record of this heating and a recommendation to their respective elected officials. The planning commissions may take this action collectively or independently as the circumstances warrant. The elected officials shall conduct a joint public hearing on the amendments and shall make a decision based solely on the record of evidence created before the planning commissions. Each governing body may approve, modify and approve, or deny the proposed amendment. HoweVer, all three governing bodies must adopt identical ordinances to complete the amendment process. The MWMC Proposal MWMC is proposing several changes to the Metro Plan text in Chapter HI, Secti°n G Public Facilities and Services Element and Chapter V Glossary. The changes in Section HI-G include modification of introductory text (pages III-G-1 and III-G-2) by adding the term VYastewater to the list of services to development within the urban growth boundary; modification of Policy G.2 (page HI-G-4) by adding the term capital im£rovementplans to the list of activities intended to implement projects in the PFSP; modify Finding 6 (page III-G-4) to include a reference to Map 2a; modification to Policy G.3 (page HI-G- 4) to include a reference to Map 2a; addition of text.following Policy G.8 (page HI-G-5) by inserting the heading "Services to Development within the Urban Growth Boundary: Wastewater;" adding new findings 11 and 12 after Policy G-8 (page IH-G-5) identifying' sanitary sewer collection facilities in each city; adding new policy G.9 (page HI-G-6) that requires wastewater conveyance and treatment inside the ugh that is capable of complying with state' and/or federal regulations for reuse, discharge or disposal; subsequent renumbefing of all findings and policies in HI-G as a result of these amendments; and, modification of Chapter V Glossary by amending the definition of Wastewater under "Public Facilities Projects" (page V4) by adding a definition of Treatment Facilities System to the existing definition of Primary Collection System under the heading Wastewater.. In addition to the foregoing Changes to the Metro Plan, MWMC is proposing changes to the PFSP to make this functional plan internally consistent with the Metro Plan. This consistency will be achieved by modifying text preceding existing Table 3 (page 28) by adding references to Tables 4a and 4b and Map 2a; inserting new Tables 4a and 4b (page 28); inserting new Map 2a (page 35); modifying Chapter IV, Wastewater System Condition Assessment (page 82) with a new paragraph titled "MY/MC Waste'water ATTACHMENT 1-1
