• a ■ creates a dike which defines the f l oodway fringe, the boundary between urban uses and agricultural uses may be abrupt. In other instances, the transition from urban to rural is not as easily definable on the ground. Recognizing inevitable problems for agricultural produc- tion, retention of small isolated pockets of land that are or would be surrounded by urban uses were not considered a high priority in drawing the urban growth boundary. The urban growth boundary is precisely described as noted on and in conjunction with the "Auxiliary Map No. 3" in this section. A larger scale edition is on file in the pl.ann i ng offices of Spring- field, Eugene, Lane County, and the Lane Council of Governments. 11. Plan Boundaries: With modification to the boundaries of adjacent County subarea pl ans, these lines will represent the interface between the area encompassed in the Metropolitan Plan and areas subject to-County subarea planning. At some future date, these boundaries may require 'further adjustment reflecting increasing need for urban land in the metropolitan area. The County and the two cities should recognize this possibility in their respective planning programs. 12. Major Transportation Corridors and other Public-Facilities: Recog- n i z i ng t e c ose nterre. at on s p between transportation facilities and land use, the major existing and planned streets and highways .included in the adopted Eugene - Springfield Area 2000 Transportation Plan are shown on the Plan diagram. A l imi ted number of uses normally associated with urban areas are shown on the diagram even .though they are not included within the urban growth boundary. See, for example, the industrial area at the intersection of Airport Road and Highway 99 North. These are existing uses that w i l l probably not require additional key urban services during the planning period. Plan Diagram Auxiliary Maps In addition to the urban growth boundary, other factors are important as they interface with land use patterns. They are i l l u s t r a t e d on the - three "Plan. Diagram Auxiliary Maps" and include major utility corridors, sewer trunk lines, electrical substations, the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway, and identification of areas subject to neighborhood refinement or community plans adopted subsequent to adoption of the 1990 Plan in 1972.
