Metro Plan Work Plan Report

ISSUE STATEMENT
On June 1, 2009, the Joint Elected Officials (JEO) directed staff from Eugene, Springfield and
Lane County to develop a Metro Plan update work program, including timeline, cost estimates
and implications for specific changes to the Metro Plan as recommended by a JEO subcommittee
and as further supplemented by recommendations from each jurisdiction. The list from the JEO
subcommittee included the following subjects:
a.
Overarching policies that identify and address regional issues.
b.
Policies that allow for individual refinement plans for Eugene and Springfield to address
jurisdiction-specific issues.
c.
Adjustments to the Metro Plan boundary and text to address jurisdictional-specific issues
arising in the urbanizable areas and the area outside the urban growth boundary.
d.
A dispute resolution process that reflects the changes described in a-c.
Subsequent to the June 1, JEO meeting, staff from Springfield, Lane County and Eugene met
with their respective elected officials to determine if additional issues should be included in the
work program. The Springfield City Council had no additional issues to add when this question
was discussed during a July 13, 2009, work session; the Lane County Board of Commissioners
added no additional issues when the matter was brought forward during an August 26, 2009,
regular meeting of the Board; and the Eugene City Council met on September 9, 2009, too late to
be included in this memorandum so the outcome of that work session will be presented during
the JEO meeting.
Based on these final instructions from the elected officials, staff will develop a work program,
including identifying the text of the Metro Plan that will be included in the analysis; evaluating if
any of this work can be merged into the ongoing HB 3337 or TransPlan update work tasks; and
determining what other implications to the Metro Plan may result from the changes brought
about by this assignment.
Staff will present the draft work plan to the JEO on December 7, 2009.
