Metropolitan Area General Plan Tiransportation Element Consistency findings: The Metro Flan Transportation Element includes eight policies that address the Airport ag page III-F-6: 1. Poll S: This policy states that the Airport Pian is to be the guide far facility and service improvements at the Airport. The draft Airport Master Plan addresses facilities that projections indicate will be needed at the Ai.rpart through 2U~9. They are divided into three phases and include, for example, runway extensions, taxiway improvements, terminal and parking lat expansion, general aviation hangar development, land acquisition, and a new parallel runway. Z. Poll 9: This policy states that the Airport is to receive necessary urban services as required for it to operate as an urban facility. Eugene provides urban services including storm and sanitary facilities, fire and police protection. The Airport obtains gas, water, and electrical service from Local utilities. No problems are anticipated in providing these services to improvements called for in the draft Airport Plan. 3. Poll 10: This policy states that development within the Airport environs but not on Airport property and not inside the UGB is not to receive urban services, The draft Airport Plan contains no proposals or uses on private land outside the Airport that would require urban services, In fact, the draft Plan includes additional land that would be acquired to provide protection from incompatible urban development. 4. Polxc~ 11; This policy states that airport-related commercial and industrial development is to locate on airport-owned property or an private property within the UGB. The draft Plan does not include any new commercial or industrial development off airport-owned property. 5. Polz`cy 12: This policy states that the Airport environs that are not within the jurisdiction of the Metro Plan are to be protected through the Lane County General Plan know called the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan} and supporting ordinances and regulations. Portions within the jurisdiction of the Metro Plan are to be protected by the Plan's supporting ordinances and regulations. In its off Airport component, the draft Airport Plan recognizes the importance of protecting the Airport from incompatible land uses. It acknowledges that so far local efforts have successfully coordinated the Exhibit A ~ 1 planning of the Airport and its environs to minimize compatibility problems. The draft Plan specifically recommends against an increase of noise sensitive uses such as additional residential construction near the Airport. It also states that local ordinances captaining Airport protection provisions controlling land uses that otherwise might encroach into Airport airspace will need to be updated in light of expanded facilities and increased air traffic. 6. Polic~l3: This policy closely related to Policy 12. It stipulates that local governments are to control development within the Airport environs to ensure that incompatible situations are not created. Drawing on the unfortunate and costly experience of a number of other airports, the draft Airport Plan recognizes the need to protect the Airport from such occurrences through public acquisition of environmental buffers, update of approach zone regulations, and careful planning regarding noise-sensitive developments. 7. Poli 14: This policy states that land in the Airport environs and inside the UGB is to be protected from premature development sa it can be used for airport-related development that can not locate elsewhere inside the UGB. The draft Airport Plan includes same areas that would be acquired and added to the Airport to accommodate Airport-related uses such as aircraft maintenance and air cargo handling facilities. S. Policy. l5: This policy requires Eugene and Lane County to maintain up to date safety ordinances which regulate structure height, electro- magnetic and/or visual interference, and other hazards to airport safety. The draft Airport Plan includes an off airport land use component calling far update of local height regulations to reflect the control surfaces related to the Airport's approaches, B. ~ansPlan Consistency Findings: TransPlan is the metropolitan transportation plan for the Eugene-Springfield area.

The revision will be based on the list of projects in the updated Airport Plan.
