WILLAKENZIE AREA PLAN-RELATED PUBLIC FACILITIES PLAN AMENDMENTS
EI~ALUATION AND FINDINGS
Section 9.I45 of the Eugene Code provides the criteria for evaluating amend-
ments to refinement plans. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Public
Faci1 hies Plan ~PDP} is a functional refinement plan of the Metropolitan
Area General Plan. The following is an evaluation of the proposed amendments
to the Street and Highway Project List and the Bicycle Project List in the
Public Facilities Plan in relation to those criteria.
Section 9.I45~~}~a}: The plan amendment is consistent with the Metro-
politan Area General Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the fundamental principles and
applicable pal i ci es of the Metro Plan .
Fundamental Principles:
Fundamental Pri nc~ p~ e , I, provides for a comprehensi ve metrapol i tan-scale p1 an-
ning framework within which more detailed refinement plans are prepared. The
PFP is amore refinement pi an which provides a mare detailed discussion about
public facility planning issues and projects.
Fundamental Principie_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 Dregon Department of Transportation, the Eane
Regional Air Pollution Authority, and the lane Transit District. Each of
these jurisdictions have a direct interest in transportation planning in the
community.
Fundamental Princi le 3 requires urban development to occur in a compact
configuration within the UGB. The transportation projects discussed herein
promote compact urban growth, increased residential densities, better utili-
zation of transit facilities, and other concepts consistent with a compact
urban growth scenario.
Fundamental Principle 6 i ndi sates that Eugene and Spri ngf i e1 d are the logical
providers of services within the UGB. The PFP amendments will facilitate
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 developed to serve
a projected population of nearly 30D,000 people. The proposed amendments to
the PFP will facilitate the construction of transportation-related improve-
ments to serve that portion of the population that lives and works in the
willakenZie planning area.
-~-
Policies:
Po] i c~ _ 1.,~~,I~A-4 }~ Coordinate new residential development with the provi
sion~of an adequate level of services and facilities, such as sewers water
transportation facilities, schools and parks.
The projects proposed in the Willakenzie plan were considered in light
of the projected increases in development and population in the area.
Proposed new streets, street widenings, signal improvements, and side-
walk and bike improvement projects were carefully coordinated with pro-
tected increases ~n average daily traffic, shifts in population densi-
ti es, alterations i n the land use pattern, and other factors that affect
the area's transportation system.
Polic I5 III-B-5}: Encourage the development of transportation facilities
which would~~~mprove access to industrial and commercial areas and im rove
P
freight movement capabilities by implementing the policies and projects in
the ...~TransPlan~..."
The following proposed transportation projects serve to improve access
to ~ ndustr~ ai and commercial areas within the Wi 11 akenzi a planning area:
Project #3 Coburg Road, Chad to Beltline}, project #4 Country Club
Road, Club Road to Coburg Road}, project #5b Crescent Avenue, Coburg
Road to Game Farm Road, project #l Game Farm Road,.Coburg Road to I-5
Underpass}, project #8, Garden Way, Harlow Road to Centennial}, project
#lI Chad Drive, Coburg Road to Old Coburg Road}, project #I1 Old
Coburg Road, Game Farm Road to Chad Drive}, project #24 ~Willagiilespie
Road at Delta Offramp},
Po1ic 4 III-E-3 : Public and private facilities shall be designed and
located in a manner that preserves and enhances desirable features of local
and neighborhood areas and promotes their sense of identity.
The following new transportation projects are proposed within areas that
have special significance as "neighborhoad gateways" in the planning
area. Project #3 Coburg Road, Chad to Beltline~, project #4 Country
Club Road, Club Road to Coburg Road}, project #8, Garden Way, Harlow
Road to Centennial}, and project #24, ~Willagillespie Road at Delta
Ramp} are proposed within the identified "gateway" areas. Policies in
the Neighborhood Design Element of the plan call far development of
symbolic "gateways" and incorporation of large-scale street trees and
other landscape materials in front yards and street reconstruction land-
scape plans within any of the "gateway" areas.
Pvlic ~ III-J-5 : Carefully cantrol,~through the use of operating tech-
niques and other methods, energy-related actions, such as automobile use, in
order to minimize adverse air quality impacts. Trade-offs between air quali-
ty and energy actions shall be made with the best possible understanding of
how one process affects the other,
..~_
Several .of the proposed street and highway projects and all of the bicy-
cle projects relate directly tv on-going efforts to minimize the adverse
air quality impacts of increased automobile use. Specifically, Project
#1 ~Ca] Young Road, Gilham to Willakenzie} includes intersection im-
provements to improve traffic flaw 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 level 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 #Z4,
~Willagillespie Road at Delta Ramp} will provide signal improvements to
improve traffic flow in a congested area.
Polio 3 III-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 Plan that
may affect the character of those areas.
Willakenzie 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 ar general
desirability of various projects that were being considered. Special
efforts were made tv 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 in the Plan.
Section 9.1452}tb}: The plan amendment is consistent with remaining
portions of the refinement plan.
The amendments will affect only the PFP Street and Highway Project List and
the Bicycle Project fist. Plan policies and text are not affected in any way
by the revision of the project lists.
Section 9.1452}~c}: The plan amendment is found to address one or more
of the following:
~. 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 i n the pl ark of new inventory material which
relates to a statewide goal; or
4. A change in public policy.
-3-
The proposed amendments are a result of the city's effort to provide for a
long-range development plan for the Willakenzie area. The amendments are
based on a tharaugh 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 Plan. The change in circumstances is a direct
result of the 1 evel of detai 1 provided i n this plan.
