The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan origi~-
Wally adopted by the Eugene City Council on July 28, 1880, has
served since that time as the basic land use planning guide far the
City of Eugene. All necessary parties to that comprehensive plan
did not agree upon the version of the plan adopted by the City of
Eugene. Moreover, compliance requests by the State of Oregon Land
Conservation and Development Commission have required revisions to
that plan.
Since the time of the adoption of the original Metropolitan
Area General Plan, public hearings and consultations between repre-
sentatives and governing bodies of the affected localities have
occurred with respect to amendments to the plan.
In preparing the amendments to the Metropolitan Area General
Plan, consideration was given to existing and projected conditions
in order to best meet the needs and goals of the metropolitan area
in planning for its future in compliance with applicable Statewide
Planning Goals.
Hearings have been held on amendments to the Metropolitan Area
General Plan before the City Planning Commission and this Council,
and testimony received and considered from neighborhood organiza-
tions and other affected groups and individuals. Background far
the adoption of these amendments is found in the following working
Ordinance - 1
papers: Exceptions; Agricultural Lands Addendum; Forest Land Re-
vision; Natural Resources Areas; Noise; Groundwater; River Road/
Santa Clara Facilities Plan; Emergency Medical Services; and Green~-
way Addendum. Now, therefore,
