Exhibit E proposal or modified proposal meets the approval criteria. The actions of the governing bodies are final if they are identical. The date the last governing body acts shall be the date the action becomes final. The provisions of LC 12.235(5) above apply if the governing bodies do not enact an identical plan amendment. Finding 47: After the Lane County Planning staff receives the last Planning Commission’s recommendation, and within 30 days, Lane County will schedule a tri-jurisdictional governing body public hearing to be held on the Amendment proposal. For the Metro Plan item, the governing bodies decisions shall be based solely on the evidentiary record created before the Planning Commission and no new evidence shall be allowed at the governing body joint hearing. Each governing body will take action via separate jurisdictional (but identical) Ordinances to approve, modify and approve, or deny the proposed Metro Plan Amendment. Should the governing bodies not enact identical ordinances, the provisions of LC 12.235(5) will apply. Lane Code Ch. 12.245 Plan Amendment Processes - General Provisions. (1) Process for Government Initiated Plan Amendments. A different process, time line, or both, than the processes and timelines specified in LC 12.230, 12.235 or 12.240 above, may be established by the governing bodies of Eugene, Springfield and Lane County for any government initiated Metro Plan amendment. Finding 48: A different process or timeline as specified in LC 12.230, 12.235, or 12.240 may be established by the governing bodies if they deem worthy. (2) Time Frame Waiver. The time frames prescribed in connection with Type II Metro Plan amendment processes can be waived if the applicant agrees to the waivers. Finding 49: This is not a Type II amendment, therefore this criteria is not applicable. (3) Bar on Resubmittal. No privately initiated Metro Plan amendment application submitted to Lane County shall be considered if a substantially similar or identical plan amendment has been denied within the year prior to the application date unless the facts forming the basis for the denial have changed so as to allow approval. The Planning Director shall determine whether the proposed amendment is substantially similar or identical after providing the applicant with an opportunity to comment on the matter in writing. Finding 50: This is the first time this amendment has been proposed, therefore this criteria is not applicable. (4) Relationship to Refinement Plan Amendments. When a Metro Plan amendment is enacted that requires an amendment to a refinement plan diagram or map for consistency, the Metro Plan diagram amendment automatically amends the refinement plan diagram or map if no amendment to the refinement plan text is involved. When a Metro Plan diagram amendment requires a refinement plan diagram or map and text amendment for consistency, the Metro Plan and refinement plan amendments shall be processed concurrently. Finding 51: No changes to a Metro plan Refinement Plan are being proposed. Page 15 of 24
