Consistency with applicable Statewide Planning Goals: The fat l owl ng are the applicable Statewide P1 ann i ng Gaal s Goal 1- -Citizen Involvement Goal ~ is intended to ensure that citizens are involved in ail stages of the planning process. Citizens have been involved in all stages of the develop- ment of the refinement plan. The fallowing summarizes the major citizen involvement opportunities in the development of the draft Glenwood Refinement Plan . I. In October I986, the Glenwood Planning Team Phase III, composed of_ area residents, property owners, and business owners, was farmed to develop the second phase of the Glenwood Refinement Plan. all of the proposed amendments are in the Phase ~~ area, 2. In November I986, the planning team held a community issues forum to receive input on planning issues in Glenwood. Notice of this meeting was sent to all residents and property owners in Glenwood. Almost 4o,people attended the meeting, and 38 postcard responses were received. 3. Notice of all planning team meetings was published in the Eugene_ Re ister-Guard and the S rin field News and sent to a list of interested parties. 4. Iri April 1988, the planning team held a meeting in Glenwood to receive comments on the draft plan. A copy of the draft plan, as well as notice of the meeting, was sent to all residents and property owners in Glenwood. 5. In May I989, the Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions held a public hearing on the draft plan. Notice of this meeting was published in The Register.-Guard„ and sent to interested parties. 6. In October I989, the Eugene City Council and Lane County Board of Comm~ss~oners held a public hearing on the draft plan. Notice of this meeting was published in The Re ister-Guard and sent to a]1 interested parties. . ... ~ . . Goal 2--Land Use Plannin Gval Z mandates the establishment of a land use planning process and policy framework to be used as a basis for all land use decisions. As part of the development of the refinement plan, inventories of land use, public facili- 1 - Exhibit C Z ties, transportation facilities, and natural resources were taken. From this information, land use designations and policies were determined. The refinement plan retains the most suitable and 1 ogi cal sites i n Glenwood for light-medium industrial use as directed by the Metro Plan. The refine- ment,plan also recognizes the importance of retention of the existing resi- dent~al uses for low- and moderate-income households. Goal 5--D en S aces Scenic and Historic Areas and Natural Resources Goal 5 is intended "to conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources." The plan area has extensive frontage along the Willamette River. Guidelines within the refinement plan provide for the conservation of river resources such as riparian vegetation and river views. The plan area also contains two wetland sloughs. Discussion within the refinement p1 an address- es considerations which need to be taken into account when development occurs in these areas. There are no inventoried historic areas within the plan area. Goal 6--Air, Water and Land Resources Qualit Goal 5 is intended to "maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state." The refinement plan addresses this goal by providing for a sanitary sewer system in areas that are currently using on-site sewage disposal systems, Through the site review criteria in the plan, the refinement plan also establishes provisions to buffer industrial land uses from existing residential uses. Goal T--Areas Sub'ect to Natural Disasters and Hazards Goal 7 is intended "to protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards," Portions of the plan area are within the flood hazard area of the Willamette River. The refinement plan addr4s::~s the impacts of flood hazards on proposed and existing development in these areas, Goal B--Recreational Needs Goal 8 directs local governments to satisfy the recreational needs of its citizens and provide for siting of necessary recreational facilities. The refinement plan proposes possible recreational facilities for Glenwood to take advantage of the Willamette River frontage, to provide pedestrian and bicycle access along the river, and to provide for local residential recrea- tional needs. " Goal 9--Economy of the State goal 9 .addresses the need to diversify and impro~~~ }~a .~~~.ri ^±y, type;:.. ~._ ;" e; and location of business and commercial activities. Much of Glenwood is designated for light-medium industrial use which will help to promote this area for industrial expansion. The mixed-use areas will allow maximum flexi- bility for types of businesses tv locate or remain in Glenwood. Goal 10--Hausin Z - Exhibit C This goal provides for "the housing needs of the citizens of the state." It allows for flexibility in location, type, and diversity of housing. Tie refinement plan protects an existing well-established mobile home park in Glenwood by redes i gnat i ng i t for 1 ow-density residential . The ref i ner~ent plan also allows most of the existing mobile home parks to retain thei~^ existing residential zoning as well as to provide for medium-density residen- ti al development i n the future. Goal II--Public Facilities and Services Goal ~~ requires the planning and development of "a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a frame- work for urban" development. The Public Facilities and services Element of the refinement plan provides for the maintenance and improvement of existing urban services ~n Glenwood. It also provides for the extension of sanitary and storm sewers for those parts of Glenwood that do not have these facili- ties. Gaa~~_I2--Transportation Goal 12 pravides for "safe, convenient, and economic transportation systems" and consideration of ail modes of transportation. The location of commercial and industrial uses and medium-residential housing in the mixed-use areas on a transit line promotes transit usage. The refinement plan's Transportation Element pravides for improved bicycle and pedestrian access in and through Glenwood. Gval I3--Ener Conservation Goal I3 intends that land uses be managed to maximize energy conservation. This goal encourages land use patterns which allow people to live, work, shop, and recreate in the same geographic area. The mixed-use designations accommodate industrial, commercial, and residential uses in the same area. The commercial, industrial, and medium-density residential mixed-use areas along transit lines promotes energy conservation through the potential use of transit services. Goal ~4--Urbanization Goal I4 provides "for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use." The plan area is entirely within the existing urban growth bound- ary. The refinement plan provides for this transition through a servicing and annexation plan far the parts of Glenwood outside the city limits. The refinement plan discusses the timing far that transition. Goal I5--Willamette River Greenwa Goal I5 is intended to protect and enhance the quality of the Willamette River by creating the Willamette River Greenway. Glenwood has extensive frontage along the Willamette River. The refinement plan provides guidelines for development within the Willamette River Greenway. ~t also provides far bicycle and pedestrian access along the riverbank. 3 - Exhibit C 3 2. Consistency with the fundamental principles and applicable policies of the Metro Plan: The Glenwood Refinement Plan is consistent with and based on the premises within the Metro P1 an's fundamental principles . The refinement plan i s wel 1 supported by specific policies within the Metro Plan. Fundamental Principle.Z of the Metro Phan "requires cooperation by all gener- al purpose, special d~str~ct, and special function agencies in the community" page ~I:l}.. Although the work on the refinement plan was coordinated by Eugene, ~t did involve the cooperation of Lane County, Springfield, the Glenwood Water District, the Eugene Water & Electric Board, the Springfield Utility Board, and Willamalane Park and Recreation District. Fundamental Principle 3 "requires that urban development occur in a compact configuration within a prescribed urban service area" page II-I}. The draft Glenwood Refinement Plan supports this premise by recognizing Glenwood's unique position in the central part of the Metropolitan area and allowing for its future urban~zat~on when sanitary sewers are available. Fundamental Principle 6 is based on the premise that "Eugene and Springfield, the two existing c~t~es, are the logical providers of services accommodating urban levels of development within the urban growth boundary" page III}. The Glenwood Refinement Plan is also based on this premise and makes rovi- p sion far the future extension of urban services into Glenwood upon annexa- tion. This is consistent with the earlier adoption by the three jurisdic- tions of the Glenwood Jurisdictional Study. The Growth Management and the Urban Service Area section of the Metro Plan has several policies which are addressed in the refinement plan: Polic 9: Annexation to a city th,o~~h normal process shall continue to be the highest priority III-B•5}. Pai i c I5: U1 ti mately, 1 and wi thi n annexed to a city and provided with services . .. III-B-fi} the urban growth boundary shall be the required minimum level of urban Palic I7: As annexations to cities occur over time, existing service districts within the urban growth boundary shall be dissolved. The cities should consider developing intergovernmental agreements, which address transition issues raised by annexation, with affected special service districts III-B-6}. The refinement plan contains a discussion on urban transition and annexation ~~rhich provides for annexation to Eugene on a . ~~n~~~~ta!^y.hasis fnlle~~t;;g normal processes. It is an underlying basis of the refinement plan that Glenwood will eventually be annexed to Eugene and provided with urban servic- es. 4 - Exhibit C The refinement contains a discussion and a policy directing Eugene to work with EWEB and the Glenwood Water District on a transition plan for the disso- lution of the water district. The Metro Plan captains a section on Eugene and Springfield's jurisdictional responsibility which discusses jurisidictional responsibility far Glenwood: The Glenwood Jurisdictional Study was completed and adopted in October 1984. The City of Eugene assumes jurisdictional responsibility far all of Glenwood, Water and electric service will be provided by EWEB and Eugene will provide sanitary sewers as annexation occurs. Two issues will be addressed as part. of the Glenwood refinement process. Tfi ese are: 1. Examine options that would permit Glenwood residents continued use of Willamalane facilities. 2. Examine the subject of annexations, recognizing the desire of many area residents to have annexations remain voluntary {II-C-1}. The refinement plan does provide policies to address both the concern regard- ~ng W~11amalane services and voluntary annexation. The fol 1 awl ng policies within the Residential E1 ement of the Metro Plan support the housing direction taken in the refinement plan: Po1ic IZ: Promote compatibility between residentially zoned lands and adjacent areas {III-A-5}. Polic 15: Investigate and, when advisable, implement mixed use zoning, particularly in established neighborhoods where compatible and func- tional mixes already exist {III-A-fi}. Polic 21: Encourage a mixture of dwelling unit types in appropriate areas {III-A-6}. Polic ~1: Provide for mobile homes as an outright use in at least one of the following situations in Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County: mvb~le home subd~v~s~ons, mobile home parks, ar on individual residen- tial lots {III-A-l}. Po. 1?cy 30: Encourage higher-density residential development near indus- tr~al and commercial centers throughout the metropolitan area {III- A-7}. Policies and implementation strategies within the Land Use Element require site review procedures for industria1iy zoned parcels adjacent to residential The mixed-use areas will a11ow for mixed-use zoning to be considered in portions of the Glenwood area. 5 - Exhibit C Preservation of the existing mobile home park in the Central Residential area as well as support for the other mobile home parks in the mixed-:use areas further support Policy ZI. An implementation strategy within the Central Residential Area directs the City to adopt methods to allow for mobile homes on individual lots. Finally, Glenwood i s an i ndustri a1 center which wi 11 be growing i n additional job opportunities in the future, The medium-density residential uses allowed ~n the mixed-use areas will help provide additional housing opportunities close to these employment areas. The,following~policies in the Economic Element of the Metro Plan are support- ed ~n the refinement plan: Palic 5: Provide existing industrial activities sufficient land for future expansion VIII-B-5}. Pal i c l : Encourage industrial park development, including areas for warehaus~ng and d~str~butive industries and research and development activities VIII-B-5}. Polic 8: Encourage the improvement of the appearance of existing industrial areas, as well as their ability to serve the needs of exist- ing and potential light industrial development VIII-B-5}. Palic I3: Encourage compatibi]ity between industrially zoned lands and adjacent areas in local planning programs ~ZII-B-S}. Palic I4: Utilize processes and local controls which encourage reten- tion of large parcels or consolidation of small parcels of industrially or commercially zoned land to facilitate their use or reuse in a com- prehensive rather than piecemeal fashion VIII-B-5}. The refinement plan provides a great deal of light-medium industrially desi - nated ro ert whi ~ ~ ~ ~ g p p y ch would allow for the expansion of ex~st~ng ~ndustr~es. Both mixed-use areas along the river encourage the creation of industrial and business parks. Site review procedures provided for in the refinement plan will encourage the improvement of the appearance of existing industrial areas, especially along Frankl i n Boulevard. These procedures wi 11 also encourage compatibility between industrially zoned land and adjacent residential areas, Implementa- tion strategies within the text for the Glenwood Boulevard/llth avenue Indus- trial area protect these sites from being divided into smaller parcels. The Willamette River Greenway Element of the Metro P1 an has several olicies P pertinent to the portions of Glenwood along tha river Policy 6: New industrial development that 1 ocates a1 ang the Wi l 1 amette and McKenzie rivers shall enhance natural, scenic, and environmental qualities VIII-D-4}. 6 - Exhibit C w. Polk 8: Within the framework of mandatory statewide planning :goals, 1 ocai W~ 11 amette River Greenway plans shal i all ow a variety of means for public enjoyment of the river, including public acquisition areas, res~dent~al areas, and commercial areas VIII-D-5}. PoI_'cY I0: Local and State governments shall continue to provide.ade- quate public access to the Willamette River Greenway VIII-D-5}. In response to Policy 6, the Glenwood Refinement Plan provides the Willamette River site development guidelines to ensure that new industrial development will be compatible with the river. The mixed use areas address Policy 8 by allowing for a variety ways to enjoy the river, including possible park sites, medium-density residential level op- ment, and 1~m~ted commercial uses. The refinement plan provides fora bike/pedestrian corridor along the river's edge in response to Metro Plan Policy lo. The Environmental Design Element also provides policies that the refinement plan addresses: Polio 1: In order to promote the greatest possible degree of diversi- ty, abroad variety of commercial, residential, and recreational land uses shall be consistent with other planing policies VIII-E-3}. Policy 2: Natural vegetation, natural water features, and drai nageways shat 1 be protected and retained to the maximum extent practicable, considering the economic, social, environmental, and energy consequenc- es in the design and construction of urban developments and landscaping shall be utilized to enhance those natural features VIII-E-3}. Policy 9: Refinement plans shall be developed to address compatibility of land uses, safety, crime prevention, and visual impact along arteri- al and collector streets, within mixed-use areas... VIII-E-4}. The refinement plan does promote a great degree of diversity of land uses within the mixed-use areas. Policies and guidelines within the refinement plan help protect the natural vegetation along the riverbank and the wetland sloughs in Glenwood. The Franklin Boulevard Commercial-Industrial Strip area encompasses the type of mixed-use described in Policy 9.and the refinement plan proposes using the site review process to address issues of compatibility, safety, and visual impacts of mixed-use development. 3. A change in public policy: The Glenwood Refinement P1 an ref ~~ ects a change i n pubs i c policy wh i ch~ i s based an amore detailed look at the Glenwood area through the refinement planning process. The refinement plan has gone through extensive comment and review by the public, the Eugene and lane County planning commissions, and elected officials as evidenced by the information in the goal discussion under Goal I, Citizen Involvement. 7 - Exhibit C r'~.. r The refinement plan has provided away to look in much more detail at the appropriate future land use designations for Glenwood. The preceding analy- sis confirms the consistency of the refinement plan with the Metro Plan, its parent document. 8 - Exhibit C
