EXHIBIT C WILLAKENZIE AREA PLAN CONSISTENCY WITH EUGENE - SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN AREA GENERAL PLAN Fundamental Principles: Fundamental Principle 1 provides for a comprehensive metropolitan -scale plan- ning framework within which more detailed refinement plans are prepared. The Willakenzie Area Plan is a refinement plan that provides more detailed analy- sis and direction than is provided in the Metro Plan. Fundamental Principle 2 provides for cooperative planning by all governmental jurisdictions within the larger community. Many agencies and governmental jurisdictions were directly involved in the preparation and review of the Willakenzie Area Plan. Among the jurisdictions involved were: the Eugene Water and Electric Board, School District 4 -J, Lane County, the City of Springfield, Lane Council of Governments, the State of Oregon Department of Transportation, the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority, and the Lane Tran- sit District. Fundamental Principle 3 requires urban development to occur in a compact configuration within the UGB. The Willakenzie Area Plan promotes a compact urban growth form with the inclusion of a policy to require minimum density levels for medium and high density residential development, proposals for residential / mixed use development in several areas, limited expansion of commercial development in the area, recognition of the infill potential on the many large developed lots in.the area, proposals and project to increase the utilization of transit facilities in the area, and other concepts consis- tent with a compact growth scenario. Fundamental Principle 6 indicates that Eugene and Springfield are the logical providers of services within the UGB. The Willakenzie Area Plan addresses the provision of urban services to underdeveloped areas within the city lim- its as well as to the nearly 1000 acres of urbanizable land lying between the city limits and the UGB. The Plan provides for the extension of storm water and sanitary sewers; transportation facilities; fire, police and emergency medical services; park and recreation facilities; and other key urban servic- es to all areas within Eugene's portion of the UGB. Fundamental Principle 7 indicates that the Metro Plan was developed to serve a projected population of nearly 300,000 people. The projected population of the Willakenzie planning area is more than 50,000. The Plan provides for a land use pattern, transportation system, and public infrastructure to accom- modate that portion of the population that lives and works in the Willakenzie area. -1-
