<br />Metro Plan Amendment Process <br />Approval of a plan amendment requires the City to adopt an ordinance. Approval of a three- <br />jurisdictional Metro Plan amendment requires the jurisdictions to adopt identical decisions. To comply <br />with the Charter requirements for ordinances, a draft ordinance approving the requested Metro Plan <br />amendments has been prepared and is attached for your reference (Attachment A). The Planning <br />Commission’s findings of approval, which provide a detailed analysis of the proposal’s compliance with <br />applicable approval criteria, are attached to the draft ordinance as Exhibit A. These are identified as <br />general findings so that the council can amend or adopt as the council determines necessary. This <br />ordinance, with any directed changes, will be utilized in the event that the council makes positive findings <br />that the proposed amendments comply with the applicable approval criteria. <br /> <br />A full copy of all materials in the record is available at the Permit and Information Center. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />Eugene Code requires that a Metro Plan amendment be consistent with the Metro Plan, the applicable <br />refinement plans, as well as the Statewide Planning Goals.
