AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE GLENW40D REFINEMENT
PLAN, PHASE I.
The City Counci I of the City of Eugene finds that:
1. I n March, 1982, the cities of Springfield and Eugene and
Lane County adopted the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area
General Plan ~Metrapolitan Plan. Yn August, 1982, that compre-
hensi ve plan was acknowledged to comply with the Statewide Goal s
by the Land Conservation and Development Commission ~LCDCy.
2. Pal i cy 16, Page III -G-6 of the Metropolitan Plan directs
Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County to appoi nt a joint elected
official task farce to study and determine which city wi~l l eventu-
ally provide urban services to Glenwood through annexation and
study land use designations in Glenwood. That study, the Glenwood
Jurisdictional Study, was adopted by the City Council on October
8, 1984. The study determined that Eugene was the logical city to
provide urban services through annexation and directed the City to
develop a refinement plan for Glenwood addressing land use, trans-
portati on, and public facilities and concerns.
3. In January, 1985, the Punning Commission adapted a work
program and citizen involvement process for the Glenwood Refi ne-
ment Plan. The work program divided the refinement plan for
Glenwood into two geographic phases. Phase I consists of a 65
acre area south of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks and east
of Glenwood Boulevard. Phase II encompasses the rest of the
Glenwood area . The plan being adopted under this 4rdi Hance i s
only for the Phase I area of Glenwood.
4. In March, 1985, the Glenwood. Community Organization
appointed a ten-member planning team charged with drafting the
refinement plan for the Phase I area . Following development of a
draft document containing Land Use, Transportation, and Publ i c
Facilities and Services elements for the Phase I area of Glenwood,
the G1 enwood Planning Team conducted a joint public meeting with
the Glenwood Community Organization on February 25, 1986, to
elicit comments on the draft from residents and property owners i n
the Phase I area. Notice of this meeting was sent to al I resi ~-
dents and property owners i n Glenwood. A copy of the draft plan
was sent to all residents and property owners in the Phase I area.
As a resul t of testimony from that meeting, on March 27, 1986, the
Glenwood P 1 anni ng Team drafted eight changes to the draft plan and
recommended the refinement plan to the Eugene and Lane County
Planning Commissions. The Eugene and Lane County Planning Commis-
si ons conducted a jai nt public hearing on the revised draft plan
on April 15, 1986. This joint public hearing was advertised i n
accordance with Oregon Public Meeting Law and Eugene's own Code
requirements . This citizen involvement process exceeds the re-
Ordinance - 1
qui cements of LCDC Goal 1, Citizen Involvement.
5. The Land Use E1 ement provides for the transition i n the
Phase I area from an existing residentiallindustrial mix to a more
ful 1 y industrial area consistent with the area ` s industrial land
use designation within the Metropolitan Plan. The Transportation
Element provides for impraved access to industrial property and
improved pedestrian-bicycle and emergency services access into the
Phase I area as well as creating short-range and long-range trans-
portation strategies for the area. The Public Faci 1 i ti es and
Services Element describes what services are now available to the
area and what will be required as more development takes place .
These three elements will provide a basis for making sound public
decisions concerning public and private development i n the Phase I
area of Glenwood.
6. The Planning Commission and City Council have reviewed
the Glenwood Refinement Plan, Phase I. Based on the recommenda-
ti on of the Planning Commission, the public testimony, and the
preceding findings, the City Counci 1 has determined that the
Glenwood Refinement Plan, Phase I is consistent with the Eugene-
Spri ngf i el d Metropolitan Area General Plan, as acknowledged by the
LCDC, and consequently this refinement plan conforms to applicable
Statewide Goals.
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLO~IS:

gi es set forth i n the Transportation Element of the G1 enwood
