This element incorporates the findings and policies in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services Plan), adopted as a refinement to the Metro Plan. The Public Facilities and Services Plan provides guidance for public facilities and services, including planned water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical facilities. As required by Goal 11, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies and shows the general locationI of the water, wastewater, and stormwater projects needed to serve land within the UGB.2 The Public Facilities and Services Plan also contains this information for electrical facilities, although not required to by law. The project lists and maps in the Public Facilities and Services Plan are adopted as part of the Metro Plan. Information in the Public Facilities and Services Plan on project phasing and costs, and decisions on timing and financing of projects are not part of the Metro Plan and are controlled solely by the capital improvement programming and budget processes of individual service providers. The policies listed provide direction for public and private developmental and program decision-making regarding urban facilities and services. Development should be coordinated with the planning, financing, and construction of key urban facilities and services to ensure the efficient use and expansion of these facilities. Goals 1. Provide and maintain public facilities and services in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner. 2. Provide public facilities and services in a manner that encourages orderly and sequential growth.
