18686 3. Adopted neighborhood refinement and community plans (example's in Chapter I of the Plan) . 4. Adopted special purpose and functional plans (examples in Chapter I of the Plan ). 5. Information generated through preparation of working papers ( 1978) used in the update process. Those papers are on file in the planning departments of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County as well as the Lane Council of Governments. Their. most s i g n i f i c a n t p r o v i s i o n s are contained in the Technical Supplement of the Metropolitan Plan, printed and available under separate cover. Subjects examined include public services and facilities, environmental assets and constraints including agricultural land, the economy, housing and residential land use , and energy, all in terms of existing conditions and projected demand. Land Use Designations Land use designations shown on the Plan diagram are depicted at a metro- po l i t an scale. Used with the text and local p l ans . and policies, they provide direction for decisions pertaining to appropriate reuse (redevel- opment), urbanization of vacant parcels, and. additional use of under- developed parcels. They are not intended to invalidate local zoning or land uses which are not cuff i.c i ent l y intensive or large enough to be included on the diagram. They are based on local plans and. po ci es Because of their special nature or limited extent , certain land uses are not individually of metropolitan-wide significance in terms of s i ze or l'ocat ion . Therefore, it i s .not advisable to account for most of them on the General Plan diagram. The standards below are intended to provide minimum guidel i nes - to local jurisdictions in determining appropriate new and expanded sites and locations for such uses in urban areas. 1. Residential This category i.s expressed in gross acre density ranges, Using gross acres, approximately 30 percent of the area is avai fable for auxiliary uses such as streets, elementary and junior high schools, neighborhood parks, other public facilities, neighbor- hood commercial services, and churches not actually shown on the diagram. Such auxiliary uses shall be allowed within residential designations if compat i b l -e with refinement plans, zoning ordinances, and other local controls for allowed uses in residential neighbor- hoods. The division into low, medium, and high densities is consistent with that depicted on the 1990 Plan diagram, in other words: Low Density Residential = Through.-10 units per gross acre. Medium Density Res i dent i al = over to through 20 units per gross acre. High Density Residential = over 20 units - per gross acre. II -E -2
