r w <br />CHAPTFR TT <br />FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES <br />There are three themes - th at are basic or fundamental to the entire Metro- <br />politan General Plan. They are implicitly included in the various indi- <br />dividual Plan components. These fundamental principle)' are: <br />1. The Plan is a long -range policy document providing the <br />framework within which more detailed refinement plans <br />are prepared. This concept is discussed in more detail <br />in Section E of the Introduction (Chapter I) . <br />2. To be meaningful , the Pl an requires cooperation by al 1 <br />general purpose, special district, and special function <br />agencies in the community . This reflects its comprehen- <br />sive nature encompassing physical land use, social , and <br />economic implications for the metropolitan area. Examples <br />where cooperation are essential include planning and <br />implementation of a transportation system, development of <br />a metropolitan-wide energy plan, metropolitan-wide <br />analysis and resolution of .certain housing .issues, and <br />planning for areas outside the urban growth boundary and <br />within the Plan. <br />3. The Plan and most of its elements are oriented to and <br />require that urban development occur in a compact con- <br />figuration within a prescribed urban service area. <br />'Elaboration of this principle is treated in Sections B <br />C, D, and E of this chapter and the "Public U t i l i t i e s , <br />Services and Facilities" element in chapter 'I I I . <br />While the goals listed i n the first section of this chapter are also stated <br />in connection with individual Plan elements, they are central to the entire <br />Plan so they are included here as well in the order they appear in the Plan. <br />II -1 <br />
