Vil J 6 . They should be included immediately so public utility, facility, and service planning can begin; leading to extension of services to those areas in an orderly and economic fashion in the long term. For these reasons, these areas are included within the urban growth boundary realizing they are not needed in the near term future for urban development, but may be needed in the latter part of the planning period to satisfy metropolitan low- density residential needs. Willow Creek is the area south of West 11th Avenue, west of Bertelsen Road, extending up to the natural r i dgel i ne of the basin. This area includes the Green Hill Road area south of West 11th, as well as an area west of Green Hill Road between West 11th and Royal Avenue. Santa C l ara is located north of Be l t l i ne Road between Highway 99 North and the Willamette River. This area is already partially developed with urban uses but is lacking the minimum level of key urban services. Since Santa Clara is already partially urban i zed and has at least some of the needed p u b l i c services and facilities already in place (schools, water, and electricity), it should have priority over the Willow Creek area. East Thurston is an area extending east from the Springfield city limits to Cedar F l a t Road on the east, Thurston Road on the north and the ridgel i ne on the south. l Since low - density land in both these areas is not needed in the first five years of the planning period, none of the low-density residential land in these three areas shall be converted from urban i zab l e to urban land until at least the next major update of the Plan, or by Plan amendment if warranted by .changing conditions.
