ATTACHMENT C <br /> <br />PROS Project and Priority Plan <br />Response to Questions and Requests from City Council <br /> <br /> <br />City Council Questions and Requests <br /> <br />1. Lane County Commissioners have indicated concerns regarding projects that reach <br />beyond Eugene’s Urban Growth Boundary. What are the jurisdictional issues? <br /> <br />Currently, the City of Eugene can, and does, own property outside of its city <br />limits and urban growth boundary. For example, the Eugene Airport and many <br />segments of the Ridgeline Park system are located outside of the City’s limits. <br />When acquiring and developing property that lies outside of Eugene’s <br />jurisdiction, the City is required to follow the zoning and land use regulations of <br />the appropriate governing jurisdictions. <br /> <br />Adoption of the Project and Priority Plan does not amount to the City exercising <br />any governmental authority outside of the UGB or outside of the City’s limits. <br />As noted in the PROS Comprehensive Plan, the document has no regulatory <br />effect on land not under the City’s jurisdictional authority. Neither the PROS <br />Comprehensive Plan or the Project and Priority Plan are intended to have any <br />legal or regulatory effect for land located outside City limits. They are <br />strategy/planning documents that are intended as a guide for the City as it <br />moves forward to meet the recreational and park needs of the City’s residents. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Include within the text of the Project and Priority Plan an additional discussion <br />regarding the flexibility of the plan. This discussion should include how projects and <br />identified priorities can be modified to respond to individual circumstances. <br /> <br />The following text has been added to section C, page 3 of the Project and Priority <br />Plan: <br /> <br />“The Project and Priority Plan is intended to be a living document, and as such, <br />individual projects may be delayed if funding cannot be identified within the <br />shown timeline. Likewise, individual projects may be moved forward if funding <br />is identified earlier than shown in the timeline. As challenges and opportunities <br />arise in the future, City Council can amend the Project and Priority Plan by <br />Council Resolution. This process may be initiated by a direct Council action, as <br />part of the annual budget process, or in association with periodic System <br />Development Charge methodology updates.” <br /> <br /> <br />Project and Priority Plan- May 8, 2006 <br />Council Response Page 1 <br />
