<br />1. Make a finding that the RTP amendments are consistent with TransPlan; or <br />2. Adopt amendments to TransPlan within one year that make it consistent with the RTP update; or <br />3. Adopt amendments to TransPlan that make it consistent with the RTP according to a work plan <br />approved by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). <br /> <br />For a number of reasons, Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County proceeded under Option 3. <br />Accordingly, the three jurisdictions sought LCDC’s approval of a work plan. The City Council <br />participated in the preparation of the work plan and on September 15, 2008, approved it for presentation <br />to LCDC. On October 16, 2008, LCDC approved (with conditions) the Regional Transportation Work <br />Plan (the “Work Plan,” provided as Attachment B). The Work Plan represents a logical, programmatic <br />approach to aligning and updating the regional land use and transportation plans. <br /> <br />The Work Plan requires, as a first step, that the local jurisdictions amend TransPlan in the following <br />manner: <br />? <br /> <br />delete transportation projects that have been completed; <br />? <br /> <br />adjust TransPlan’s planning period; <br />? <br /> <br />delete the West Eugene Parkway (WEP), and <br />? <br /> <br />move four ODOT highway projects from the Future list to the Financially Constrained list (only <br />two of these projects are located in Eugene; the other two are being processed by the City of <br />Springfield). <br /> <br />This public hearing on October 19 is held to consider moving the two ODOT highway projects located <br />th <br />in Eugene, portions of West 11 Avenue and Beltline Highway from River Road to Coburg Road, from <br />the Future list to the Financially Constrained list. On June 29, 2009, after a public hearing and extended <br />public comment period, the Eugene Planning Commission recommended approval of these amendments. <br />Hearings for the other amendments, some of which require joint action with other jurisdictions, will <br />occur at a later date. <br /> <br />During the Planning Commission deliberations, staff agreed that the project descriptions should be made <br />more generic so that the project designs could remain responsive to site conditions and needs of <br />adjoining properties and stakeholders. For instance, in response to testimony received related to natural <br />th <br />resources issues, the project description for Project No. 333 (West 11 Avenue) will not specify the <br />precise number of travel lanes for the roadway. <br /> <br />Materials attached to this AIS further describe the approval criteria, the purpose and content of <br />TransPlan’s project lists, public testimony received at the Planning Commission hearing, and draft <br />minutes of the Planning Commission’s deliberation. Of particular note are letters from the Friends of <br />th <br />Eugene and Bureau of Land Management regarding the West 11 project. City staff is committed to <br />addressing these issues through the facility planning process for West 11th Avenue from Terry Street to <br />Green Hill Road which is currently neither funded, nor scheduled. <br /> <br />The rules governing typical TransPlan and Metro Plan amendments state that “The council's decision <br />shall be based solely on the evidentiary record created before the planning commission. No new <br />evidence shall be allowed at the council hearing” (EC 9.7735(4)). However, EC 9.7750(1) also allows <br />the City Council to establish a “different process, timeline, or both, than the processes and timelines <br /> Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M091019\S0910191.doc <br /> <br />
