AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TD THE
EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METR4P4LITAN AREA TRAN5P4RTATI4N PLAN

~TransPlan} was adopted by the Eugene City Council on April 28, 1986 by Eu-
gene Ordinance Nv. 19385, and in accordance with the provisions contained
therein, subsequently endorsed on July 27, 1987 by Resolution No. 4049 and

that affect the area's transportation system.
3. The Willakenzie area P1 an contains proposed street, highway and

TPC reviewed Wil1akenzie Area Plan-related TransPlan amendments on August 22,
1991 and September 1Z, 1991. The TPC recommended several revisions to ;the
project 1 i st, as described i n the draft Wi 11 akenzi e Area Plan .

involvement process used exceeds the requirements of LCDC Goal 1 - Citizen
Involvement.
6. During the period November 12 through December 1D, 1991, the Eugene

amendments described in Exhibit B, recommended the proposed TransPlan amend-
ments to the Eugene City Council, Springfield City Council and Lane County
Board of Commissioners for adoption.

EXHIBIT A
WILLAKENZIE AREA PLAN-RELATED TRANSPLAN AMENDMENTS
EVALUATION AND FINDINGS
Section 9.I45 of the Eugene Code provides the criteria for evaluating amend-
ments to refinement plans. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Trans-
portation Plan ~TransPlan~ is a functional refinement plan of the Metropoli-
tan Area General Plan. The following is an evaluation of the proposed amend-
ments to the Street and Highway Project List and the Bicycle Project list in
the TransPlan in relation to those criteria.
Section 9.145~2~~a}; The plan amendment is consistent with the Metro-
politan Area General Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the fundamental principles and
appl icabie policies of the Metro Plan.
Fundamental Principles:
Fundamental Princi le I provides for a comprehensive metropolitan-scale tan-
nin framework within wh' p
g Bch more detailed refinement plans are prepared. The
TransPlan provides a more detailed discussion about transportation plannin
9
issues and projects.
Fundamental Princi le 2 provides for cooperative planning by all governmental
jurisdictions within the larger community. The proposed amendments were
developed in conjunction with Lane County, City of Springfield, Lane Council
of Governments, the State of Oregon Department of Transportation, the Lane
Regional Air Pollution Authority, and the Lane Transit District. Each of
these jurisdictions have a direct interest in transportation tannin in the
communit . p g
y
Fundamental Princi le 3 requires urban develo ment to occur in
con ' ~ ~ p a compact
figuration w~th~n the UGB. The transportation projects discussed herein
promote compact,urban growth, increased residential densities, better utili-
zat~on of transit fac~l~t~es, and other concepts consistent with a com act
P
urban growth scenario.
Fundamental Princi le 6 indicates that Eugene and Springfield are the to ical
providers of services withi ~ 9
n the UGB. The TransPlan amendments will facil~-
tate implementation of street, highway, and bicycle projects within the urban
and the urbanizable portions of the UGB.
Fundamental Princi le l indicates that the Metro Plan was develo ed to serve
P
a projected population of nearly 300,000 people. The proposed amendments to
the TransPlan will faci]itate the construction of trans ortation-related
im rovement ~ ~ p
p s to serve that port7on of the population that lives and works ~n
the W~llakenz~e planning area.
_I..
Policies:
Policy 1..~~i I I -A-,4} :~ Coordinate new residential development with the rovi -
sion of an ade uate level of serv' P
. q ~ xces and fac~l~t~es, such as sewers, water,
transportation fac~l~t~es, schools and parks.
The projects proposed in the Willakenzie plan were considered in li ht
of the rajected increases in d g
P evelopment and population ~n the area.
Proposed new streets, street widenings, signal improvements, and side-
walk and bike improvement projects were carefully coordinated with ro-
jected increases in avers e d i ~ P.
• g a ly traffic, shifts ~n papulat~on dens~-
t~es, alterations ~n the land use pattern, and other factors that affect
the area's transportation system.
Polic I5 III-B-S : Encourage the development of trans artation facilities
which would im rov _ P •
p e access to industrial and commercial areas and improve
freight movement capabilities by implementing the policies and ro'ects in
the ... TransPlan ..." P ~

Polic 4 III-E-3 : Public and private facilities shall be desi ned and
located in a manner that g
preserves and enhances desirable features of local
and neighborhood areas and promotes their sense of identit .

The fallowing new transportation projects are pro osed within areas that
haves ecial s' ~~ P +~

p} p posed w~th~n the ~dent~f~ed gateway areas. Pal~c~es ~n
the Neighborhood Design Element of the plan call for develo meat of
symbol ~ c " stews s" and i n P
g y corporation of large-scale street trees and
other landscape materials in front yards and street reconstruction land
scape plans within any of the "gateway" areas.
Polic 2 III-J-S : Carefully control, through the use of o eratin tech-
ni ues and ather methods e - P g
q ,. nergy related~act~ons, such as automobile use, ~n
order to minlm~ze adverse air quality Impacts. Trade-offs between air uali-
ty and ener y actions shall be made • q
9 with the best possible understanding of
haw one process affects the other.
_2_
Several .of the proposed street and highway projects and all of the bicy-
cle pra~ects relate directly to on-going efforts to minimize the adverse
air quality impacts of increased automobile use. Specifically, Project
#~ Cal Young Road, Gilham to Willakenzie} includes intersection im-
provements to improve traffic flow as volumes increase on the street;
Project #3 Coburg Road, Chad to Beltline} involves construction of
additional right turn lanes to improve the operation of the intersec-
tion; Project #5a Crescent Avenue, Norkenzie to Coburg} will involve
signal improvements and removal of parking to improve ~1 evel of service
on the street; Project #8 Garden Way, Harlow to Centennial} involves
realignment of the street, removal of curbside parking, construction of
sidewalks and bike lanes, and intersection signalization to improve
future traffic flows in this developing area; Project #24,
~Willagillespie Road at Delta Ramp} will provide signal improvements to
improve traffic flow in a congested area.
Po1ic 3 111-K-3 : Improve and maintain local mechanisms that provide the
opportunity for residents and property owners in existing residential areas
to participate in the implementation of policies embodied in this P1 an that
may affect the character of those areas.
Wil1akenzie Planning Team meetings were advertised in the local media to
encourage citizen participation. Meeting agendas always included time
for Comments from the Public" to address agenda items. During the
period when transportation projects were being discussed, the planning
team heard from numerous citizens about the assumed impacts or general
desirability of various projects that were being considered. Special
efforts were made to involve property owners whose properties are adja-
cent to several of the more controversial projects. Citizen comments
influenced policy and project description decisions on several of the
street, highway and bicycle projects outlined i n the P1 an .
Section 9.1452}fib}: The plan amendment is consistent with remaining
portions of the refinement plan.
The amendments will affect only the TransPlan Street and Highway Project List
and the Bicycle Project List, Plan policies and text are not affected in any
way by the revision of the project lists.
Section 9.~45~2}~c}: The plan amendment is found to address one or more
of the following:
1. An error in the publication of the plan;
2. A change of circumstances in a substantion manner not antici~
pated in the plan;
3. Incorporation in the plan of new. inventory material which
relates to a statewide go~1; or
4. A change in public policy.
-3-
The proposed amendments are a result of the city's effort to provide far a
long-range development plan for the Willakenzie area. The amendments are
based on a thorough examination of land use, transportation and public facil-
ity needs to support an assumed build-out population of more than 50,000
people. As such, the amendments reflect a change in circumstances that were
not anticipated in the Metro P1 an. The change in circumstances is a direct
result of the level of detail provided in this plan.
