Attachment C - Application Materials This request was consistent with this standard. Consider the orderly determination and adjustment of local government boundaries to best meet the needs of Lane County and Oregon. Consider alternative solutions where intergovernmental options are identified and make decisions based on the most effective long -range option among identified alternatives. ORS 199.410(1), 199.410(2), and 199.410(3)(a) and (e) 10. Annexation to the City of Eugene was identified in the acknowledged Metro Plan as the preferred method for providing key urban facilities and services to the Willakenzie area in policies in Chapter lI, section B. 11. Annexation to an existing city was the method for extending urban facilities and services to urbanizable land in the boundary commission's policy administrative rule, implementing policies (1), (2), (5), and (7). 12. The proposed annexation was the means of boundary change outlined in the Metro Plan and the boundary commission administrative rules for ultimately providing urban facilities and services to this territory. Annexation of tax lotted properties and existing road rights -of -way fulfilled the Metro Plan policies of annexing out to the urban growth boundary. 13. This request was consistent with boundary commission policies and this standard. Make boundary commission determinations which are consistent with acknowledged local comprehensive plans. Assure an adequate quality and quantity of public services required in the comprehensive plan to meet existing and future growth. For major boundary changes, there must be assurance that the proposed unit of government is financially viable. ORS 199.410(1)(d), 199.410(3) (b), and (d) 14. The modified annexation area was within the urban growth boundary of the acknowledged Metro Plan [Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) action in 1982 and as subsequently amended]. Annexation of the tax lotted properties and existing road rights -of -way assisted in fulfilling the Metro Plan policies of annexing out to the urban growth boundary. 15. The Metro Plan recognized annexation to the City of Eugene as the highest priority for extending the minimum level of key urban facilities and services to urbanizable areas. 16. Future residential development would be consistent with the policies in the Metro Plan requiring urban levels of development within the urban growth boundary. To accommodate a regional hospital facility, amendments to the Metro Plan and Willakenzie Refinement Plan were anticipated after annexation to the city. 17. The City of Eugene indicated that the required services outlined in Metro Plan policy #8, page II- B-4 and defined on page V -3, were either available or could be provided in a timely manner. 18. This request was consistent with this standard. Consider the comprehensive plan's economic, demographic, and sociological trends and projections and its environmental policies, pertinent to the proposal.
