<br />of a projected population of 296,500 in the TransPlan Study Area. When TransPlan was updated in 2001, <br />it was anticipated that the TransPlan Study Area’s population would reach 296,500 in 2015. Based on the <br />Lane County coordinated population forecast adopted in 2009, it is now anticipated that the TransPlan <br />Study Area’s population will not reach 296,500 until year 2027. Since the transportation modeling for the <br />TransPlan Study Area was based on a projected population of 296,500, TransPlan may be expected to <br />guide regional and transportation system planning and development in the Transportation Study Area <br />until year 2027. Accordingly, the proposed amendment updates TransPlan’s planning period to 2027. <br /> <br />The coordinated population projections apply to the area inside the current Eugene-Springfield urban <br />growth boundary. The proposed adjustment to TransPlan’s planning period assumes that there will be <br />negligible growth within that portion of the TransPlan Study Area that is located outside the current <br />Eugene-Springfield urban growth boundary. This assumption is consistent with the assumptions made at <br />the time of TransPlan’s adoption in 2001. The question of whether a different assumption for that area <br />should be made is a matter that can be addressed during the upcoming comprehensive land use and <br />transportation planning processes. <br /> <br />As noted above, LCDC’s Regional Transportation Work Plan requires an adjustment to TransPlan’s <br />planning period to more accurately reflect the year that the plan’s study area will hit the projected <br />population and to bring TransPlan’s planning period closer to the planning period of the federally- <br />required RTP (2031). The proposed TransPlan amendments to reflect the year at which the planned <br />population will be reached is an interim measure necessary to comply with the Work Plan and to more <br />accurately reflect current conditions for the benefit of the agencies funding transportation projects. In <br />accordance with the Work Plan, the jurisdictions are currently undertaking a comprehensive update to <br />TransPlan to provide integrated land use and transportation strategies for a new 20-year planning period. <br />The proposed amendments to TransPlan are set forth in Exhibit A to the Ordinance (Attachment A to this <br />AIS). <br /> <br /> 3. Metro Plan Amendments: <br /> The goals and policies in TransPlan are contained in the <br />Metro Plan Transportation Element and are part of the adopted Metro Plan. Also, TransPlan’s project <br />lists and project maps are adopted by reference as part of the Metro Plan. Although the project lists are <br />maintained in TransPlan and not physically contained in the Metro Plan, the Metro Plan needs to be <br />amended to simultaneously incorporate changes to the project list resulting from the removal of <br />completed projects. The amendments to TransPlan’s planning period require additional Metro Plan text <br />amendments in order for the two documents to remain consistent. The proposed text amendments to the <br />Metro Plan are set forth in Exhibit B to the Ordinance (Attachment A to this AIS). <br /> <br />RELATED POLICIES: <br />This matter is presented in response to a work plan approved by the Land Conservation and Development <br />Commission. <br /> <br />APPLICABLE CRITERIA: <br />The Eugene and Springfield City Councils and the Lane County Board of Commissioners will address <br />relevant approval criteria in reaching their decision on the proposed amendments. Criteria to be used to <br />evaluate a TransPlan and Metro Plan text amendments are found in Springfield Development Code <br />Chapter 5, Section 5.14-135( C )(1-2); Eugene Code Section 9.7730(3); and Lane County Code Section <br />12.225(2)(a) and (b) and reads as follows: <br /> <br /> 3 of 5 <br />
