The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that : A. Chapter IV of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) sets forth procedures for amendment of the Metro Plan, which for Eugene are implemented by Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971.

C. The City Council adopted TransPlan by Ordinance No. 19385, enacted on April 28, 1986, which was subsequently amended by Ordinance No. 19584, enacted on November 28, 1988, Ordinance No. 19857, enacted on June 8, 1992, Ordinance No. 19872, enacted on September 9, 1992, Ordinance No. 19887 enacted on November 9, 1992, Ordinance No. 20186 enacted on February 14, 2000, Ordinance No. 20234 enacted on September 10, 2001, and Ordinance No. 20258 enacted on July 8, 2002, adopting a revised Transportation Element of the Metro Plan and adopting revisions to TransPlan.
