The Rural Comprehensive Plan, <br />or any component of such Plan, shall be adopted or amended in accordance with the <br />following procedures: <br />(a) Referral to Planning Commission. Before the Board takes any action on a Rural <br />Comprehensive Plan component, or an amendment to such Plan component, a report <br />and recommendation thereon shall be requested from the County Planning <br />Commission and a reasonable time allowed for the submission of such report and <br />recommendation. In the event the Rural Comprehensive Plan component, or <br />amendment applies to a limited geographic area, only the Planning Commission <br />having jurisdiction of that area need receive such referral. <br /> <br />Finding 1: This Plan Amendment proposal was initiated by Land Management Division staff at <br />the direction of the Lane County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as a high priority item <br />in the adopted 2011 Long Range Planning Program. Therefore, Lane County is the applicant in <br />this case. <br /> <br />There are five items contained in this amendment proposal. They are: <br /> <br />1. An amendment to the official Metro Plan diagram and boundary maps to <br />modify the Metro Plan boundary east of Interstate 5 so that the resultant <br />boundary is coterminous with the parcel specific Urban Growth Boundary that <br />has been developed by the City of Springfield; <br />2. An amendment to the official Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan maps <br />to delineate the City of Springfield’s parcel specific UGB boundary location <br />pursuant to OAR 660-024-0020(2); <br />3.

An update to the rural residential zoning of properties removed from the <br />Metro Plan to maintain consistency with residential zoning regulations applied <br />to lands within the RCP. This change will apply Lane Code 16.291 to <br />properties previously zoned under Lane Code 16.231 and; <br />5.
