HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 1: Ordinance on Transplan and Metro Plan Amendments ECC UGENE ITY OUNCIL AIS GENDA TEM UMMARY Public Hearing: An Ordinance Amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) to Move Project Nos. 333 and 506 from the Future Roadway Projects List to the Financially Constrained Roadway Projects List, to Update the Project Descriptions for Project Nos. 333 and 506 and to Make Related Amendments to the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Meeting Date: October 19, 2009 Agenda Item Number: 1 Department: Public Works Staff Contact: Rob Inerfeld www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 682-5343 ISSUE STATEMENT The City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the following amendments to the Eugene- Springfield Regional Transportation System Plan (“TransPlan”) and the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan): Moving Project Numbers 333 and 506 from the Future Roadway Projects list to the Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list and to update the project descriptions to make them consistent with the adopted Regional Transportation Plan. The proposed amendments would add to TransPlan’s Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list the following two projects: th A.Project No. 333: W. 11 Avenue, Green Hill Road to Terry Street, “Upgrade to urban facility” B.Project No. 506: North Eugene Transportation Improvements, River Road to Delta Highway, “Improve capacity across Willamette River within N. Eugene Area” City Council action on this matter is scheduled for November 9, 2009. BACKGROUND On November 8, 2007, the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) adopted an update to the federally- required Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This update moved projects from the Illustrative Project List (beyond 20-years) to the Financially Constrained 20-Year Capital Investment Actions List and made several other changes to proposed projects. MPC’s adoption of the updated RTP triggered a state Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) requirement that Eugene, Springfield and Lane County do one of the following by November 8, 2008: Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M091019\S0910191.doc 1. Make a finding that the RTP amendments are consistent with TransPlan; or 2. Adopt amendments to TransPlan within one year that make it consistent with the RTP update; or 3. Adopt amendments to TransPlan that make it consistent with the RTP according to a work plan approved by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). For a number of reasons, Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County proceeded under Option 3. Accordingly, the three jurisdictions sought LCDC’s approval of a work plan. The City Council participated in the preparation of the work plan and on September 15, 2008, approved it for presentation to LCDC. On October 16, 2008, LCDC approved (with conditions) the Regional Transportation Work Plan (the “Work Plan,” provided as Attachment B). The Work Plan represents a logical, programmatic approach to aligning and updating the regional land use and transportation plans. The Work Plan requires, as a first step, that the local jurisdictions amend TransPlan in the following manner: ? delete transportation projects that have been completed; ? adjust TransPlan’s planning period; ? delete the West Eugene Parkway (WEP), and ? move four ODOT highway projects from the Future list to the Financially Constrained list (only two of these projects are located in Eugene; the other two are being processed by the City of Springfield). This public hearing on October 19 is held to consider moving the two ODOT highway projects located th in Eugene, portions of West 11 Avenue and Beltline Highway from River Road to Coburg Road, from the Future list to the Financially Constrained list. On June 29, 2009, after a public hearing and extended public comment period, the Eugene Planning Commission recommended approval of these amendments. Hearings for the other amendments, some of which require joint action with other jurisdictions, will occur at a later date. During the Planning Commission deliberations, staff agreed that the project descriptions should be made more generic so that the project designs could remain responsive to site conditions and needs of adjoining properties and stakeholders. For instance, in response to testimony received related to natural th resources issues, the project description for Project No. 333 (West 11 Avenue) will not specify the precise number of travel lanes for the roadway. Materials attached to this AIS further describe the approval criteria, the purpose and content of TransPlan’s project lists, public testimony received at the Planning Commission hearing, and draft minutes of the Planning Commission’s deliberation. Of particular note are letters from the Friends of th Eugene and Bureau of Land Management regarding the West 11 project. City staff is committed to addressing these issues through the facility planning process for West 11th Avenue from Terry Street to Green Hill Road which is currently neither funded, nor scheduled. The rules governing typical TransPlan and Metro Plan amendments state that “The council's decision shall be based solely on the evidentiary record created before the planning commission. No new evidence shall be allowed at the council hearing” (EC 9.7735(4)). However, EC 9.7750(1) also allows the City Council to establish a “different process, timeline, or both, than the processes and timelines Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M091019\S0910191.doc specified [in the local ordinances].” Therefore, additional evidence may be considered at this hearing with a majority vote of the council. RELATED CITY POLICIES TransPlan contains the following policies that, on balance, support these proposed amendments, which update the project lists: ? Transportation Infrastructure Protection and Management: Protect and manage existing and future transportation infrastructure. ? TransPlan Project Lists: Adopt by reference, as part of the Metro Plan, the 20-Year Capital Investment Actions project lists contained in TransPlan. Project timing and estimated costs are not adopted as policy. ? Motor Vehicle Level of Service: Use motor vehicle level of service standards to maintain acceptable and reliable performance on the roadway system. (abridged) ? Prioritization of State and Federal Revenue: Set priorities for investment of Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and federal revenues programmed in the region’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to address safety and major capacity problems on the region’s transportation system. COUNCIL OPTIONS No action is required on this item at this time. After the public hearing, the council may close the hearing and record, or leave the record open for a specific length of time. The record must remain open if the council wants more information before making a decision. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION No action is required on this item. Therefore, no recommendations are offered by the City Manager at this time. SUGGESTED MOTION No action is required on this item. Therefore, no motions are offered by the City Manager at this time.

The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that : A. Chapter IV of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) sets forth procedures for amendment of the Metro Plan, which for Eugene are implemented by Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971. B. The Metro Plan identifies the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) as a special purpose or functional plan which forms the basis for the Transportation Element of the Metro Plan and guides surface transportation improvements in the metropolitan area. C. The City Council adopted TransPlan by Ordinance No. 19385, enacted on April 28, 1986, which was subsequently amended by Ordinance No. 19584, enacted on November 28, 1988, Ordinance No. 19857, enacted on June 8, 1992, Ordinance No. 19872, enacted on September 9, 1992, Ordinance No. 19887 enacted on November 9, 1992, Ordinance No. 20186 enacted on February 14, 2000, Ordinance No. 20234 enacted on September 10, 2001, and Ordinance No. 20258 enacted on July 8, 2002, adopting a revised Transportation Element of the Metro Plan and adopting revisions to TransPlan. D. On November 8, 2007, the Metropolitan Policy Committee adopted an update to the federally-required Regional Transportation Plan (RTP); the update included moving Project No. 333 and Project No. 506 from the Illustrative Roadway Projects list to the Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list and updating the descriptions and costs for those two projects. On August 13, 2008, the City Council initiated TransPlan and Metro Plan amendments to move these two projects from the Future Roadway Projects list to the Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list in TransPlan. E. Following a public hearing on May 5, 2009, the Eugene Planning Commission met on June 29, 2009, and recommended to the Eugene City Council that TransPlan be amended to move Project No. 333 and Project No. 506 from the Future Roadway Projects list to the 20- year Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list, and related amendments to the Metro Plan. F. On October 19, 2009, the City Council conducted a public hearing on these amendments, and is now ready to take action based upon the above recommendations and the evidence and testimony already in the record as well as the evidence and testimony presented at the public hearings held on adopting revisions to TransPlan and to the Metro Plan. G. Substantial evidence exists within the record that the proposal meets the requirements of Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971 and the requirements of applicable state and local law as described in the findings adopted in support of this Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. TransPlan, adopted by Ordinance No. 19385, enacted on April 28, 1986, and amended by Ordinance No. 19584, enacted on November 28, 1988, Ordinance No. 19857, enacted on June 8, 1992, Ordinance No. 19872, enacted on September 9, 1992, Ordinance No. 19887 enacted on November 9, 1992, Ordinance No. 20186 enacted on February 14, 2000, Ordinance No. 20234, enacted on September 10, 2001, and Ordinance No. 20258 enacted on July 8, 2002, is hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit A attached and incorporated herein by this reference. Section 2. The revisions to the 20-Year Financially-Constrained Roadway Projects list included in Exhibit A are hereby adopted by reference and made a part of the Metro Plan, as required by Metro Plan Policy F-9, page III-F-7. Project timing and estimated costs are not adopted as policy. Section 3. The City Council adopts the findings set forth in the attached Exhibit B in support of this action. Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof.

This application involves amending the project lists in TransPlan and the Metro Plan by moving two projects from the “Future” project list to the “Financially Constrained” project list (“the amendments”). The process for making the amendments to TransPlan, a special purpose functional plan, and the Metro Plan are identical; requiring the City to follow the “Type II” amendment process. To become effective, only the City needs to approve the amendments. Background The City Council held work sessions on September 25, 2006 and October 9, 2006 to discuss transportation priorities in north and west Eugene. At the second work session, the Council passed motions regarding transportation project priorities to identify the Beltline Corridor from River Road to Coburg Road as the City’s top priority for funding in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), West 11th Avenue from Terry Street to Greenhill Road as its second priority, and a study of the Beltline Corridor from Roosevelt Boulevard to West 11th Avenue as a third priority for funding in the STIP. On November 8, 2007, the MPC adopted an update to the federally-required Regional Transportation Plan (RTP); the update included deleting from the RTP all projects related to the WEP and moving four ODOT facilities projects from the Illustrative Roadway Projects list to the Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list (the four projects included two Springfield projects, the West 11th Ave. from Terry to Greenhill project and the Beltline Hwy from River Road to Delta Highway project). On August 13, 2008, the Eugene City Council initiated TransPlan and Metro Plan amendments to move two projects from the Future Roadway Projects list to the Financially Constrained Roadway Projects list in TransPlan: W. 11th Avenue from Greenhill Road to Terry Street, and Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway. Specifically, the City Council passed the following motion: I move to initiate a TransPlan amendment to delete the West Eugene Parkway from the project list and plan as part of the short-term amendments and to add the two ODOT facility projects into the “Constrained” project list, which are the West 11th Avenue from Terry to Greenhill and the Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway. 1 Criterion A. STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL CONSISTENCY: Based on the findings set forth below, the amendments are consistent with applicable Statewide Planning Goals and interpretive rules. GOAL 1 - CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT: To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. Eugene has an acknowledged citizen involvement program and acknowledged processes for securing citizen input on all proposed Metro Plan amendments. The City’s code provisions implement Statewide Planning Goal 1 by requiring that notice of the proposed amendment be given and public hearings be held prior to adoption. Consideration of the amendments will begin with a Planning Commission staff introduction, followed by a public hearing on May 5, 2009. Thus, notification of the proposed amendments and opportunities for public participation in these amendments were consistent with the acknowledged citizen involvement program. Notice of these two proposed amendments was given to the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development on January 29, 2009. The DLCD notice was revised on March 4, 2009, to reflect a new hearing date. Notice of this public hearing was mailed on April 14, 2009, to all interested parties requesting such notice and owners of property located within 300 feet of the affected street segments, and posted on April 3, 2009, pursuant to Eugene Code 9.7735(3). Notice of this public hearing was published in the Register Guard newspaper on April 15, 2009. We find that the process for adopting these amendments complies with Statewide Planning Goal 1 since it complies with, and surpasses, the requirements of the State’s citizen involvement provisions. GOAL 2 - LAND USE PLANNING: To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to the use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) is the policy tool that provides a basis for decision-making in this area. The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the State in 1982 to be in compliance with statewide planning goals. TransPlan is a functional plan of the Metro Plan, which forms the basis for the Transportation Element of the Metro Plan and guides surface transportation improvements in the metropolitan area. TransPlan was acknowledged by the State to be in compliance with statewide planning goals. These findings and the record show that there is an adequate factual base for City’s decision concerning the amendments. Goal 2 requires that plans be coordinated with the plans of affected governmental units and that opportunities be provided for review and comment by affected governmental units. The Goal 2 coordination requirement is met when the adopting governmental body engages in an exchange, or invites such an exchange, between the adopting body and any affected governmental unit and when the adopting body uses the information obtained in the exchange to balance the needs of the citizens. To comply with the Goal 2 coordination requirement, the City coordinated the review of these amendments with all affected governmental units. Specifically, notice was mailed to the Oregon Department of Transportation, Lane Council of Government, Downtown Eugene Inc./Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, Lane County, City of Springfield, Eugene Neighborhood Liaison, and all Eugene neighborhood associations. 2 Additionally, in accordance with EC 9.7735(3), notice was mailed to the owners and occupants of properties that are the subject of the proposed amendments and to property owners of record within 300 feet of the subject property. There are no Goal 2 exceptions required for the amendments. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2. GOAL 3 - AGRICULTURAL LANDS: To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. The amendments will not change or conflict with the policies of the Metro Plan or TransPlan regarding agricultural lands since these amendments continue to reflect the growth planned for and accommodated by the existing, acknowledged Metro Plan and TransPlan. Goal 3 is not relevant and the amendments do not affect the area’s compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 3. GOAL 4 - FOREST LAND: To conserve forest lands for forest use. The amendments will not change any policies or plan diagram designations of the Metro Plan or TransPlan, nor do the amendments impact any forest lands. Goal 4 is not relevant and the amendments do not affect the area’s compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 4. Therefore, the amendments comply with Goal 4. GOAL 5 - OPEN SPACE, SCENIC AND HISTORIC AREAS, NATURAL RESOURCES: To conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources. The following administrative rule (OAR 660-023-0250) is applicable to this post-acknowledgement plan amendment (PAPA) request: (3) Local governments are not required to apply Goal 5 in consideration of a PAPA unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. For purposes of this section, a PAPA would affect a Goal 5 resource only if: (a) The PAPA creates or amends a resource list or a portion of an acknowledged plan or land use regulation adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5; (b) The PAPA allows new uses that could be conflicting uses with a particular significant Goal 5 resource site on an acknowledged resource list; or (c) The PAPA amends an acknowledged UGB and factual information is submitted demonstrating that a resource site, or the impact areas of such a site, is included in the amended UGB area. The amendments do not affect a Goal 5 resource. Specifically, the amendments do not create or amend a list of Goal 5 resources, do not amend a plan or code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, do not allow new uses that could be conflicting uses with a particular Goal 5 resource site, and do not amend the acknowledged Urban Growth Boundary. Therefore, Goal 5 does not apply to these plan amendments. 3 GOAL 6 - AIR, WATER, AND LAND RESOURCES QUALITY: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, water and land from impacts of those discharges. TransPlan currently contains policies related to nodal development, transportation demand management and the encouragement of additional alternative modes of transportation, including transit, bicycles and pedestrian use. These policies are related to the need to maintain and improve the air quality in the metropolitan area. The amendments will not impact any of these policies and no new projects are proposed; the project list amendments consist only of moving two projects from the Future list to the Financially Constrained list. Projects already identified in TransPlan will be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 6. GOAL 7 - AREAS SUBJECT TO NATURAL HAZARDS: To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and property from natural hazards such as land slides. The amendments do not address potential natural disasters. Further, the amendments do not affect the current restrictions on development in areas subject to natural hazards, nor allow for new development that could result in a natural hazard. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 7. GOAL 8 - RECREATIONAL NEEDS: To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destinations resorts. Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreation facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned with the provisions of those facilities in non-urban areas of the State. The amendments do not affect the current provisions for recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities, nor will the amendments affect access to existing or future recreational facilities. Further, the amendments do not change the Metro Plan and TranPlan policies that support access to recreational facilities with the Metropolitan area and to recreations opportunities outside the area or delete any planned transportation projects that would make recreational facilities more available. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 8. GOAL 9 - ECONOMY OF THE STATE: To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon’s citizens. The amendments will not impact the supply of industrial or commercial lands and will not change or conflict with the economic policies of Metro Plan. The amendments do not change the TransPlan and Metro Plan policies directed toward enhancing the economic opportunity available within the Eugene- Springfield area by assuring adequate public facilities and infrastructure to provide a transportation system that is efficient, safe, interconnected and economically viable and fiscally stable. Additionally, the amendments do not change the TransPlan and Metro Plan policies related to the movement of goods; those policies adopted to further the goal of using the public facilities infrastructure to support responsible economic development. The Oregon Transportation Plan recognizes that goods movement of all types makes a significant contribution to the region’s economy and wealth and contributes to residents’ quality 4 of life. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 9. GOAL 10 – HOUSING: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. The amendments will not impact the supply of residential lands and will not result in any change or conflict with the housing policies of the Metro Plan. Additionally, the amendments will not change any of the policies in TransPlan and the Metro Plan related to nodal development and transit-supportive land use patterns and development; those policies adopted to expand housing opportunities for the region’s citizens. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 10. GOAL 11 - PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. The Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area has an acknowledged Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP). The amendments will not result in any change or conflict with the PFSP. GOAL 12 – TRANSPORTATION: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0000, et seq. The proposed amendments are consistent with all applicable provisions of OAR 660-012-0016. Further, the amendments are consistent with, and required by, the Regional Transportation Work Plan approved pursuant to OAR 660-012-0016(2)(b) by the Land Conservation and Development Commission on October 16, 2008. The TPR requires compliance with certain performance measures by either meeting a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction target or obtaining approval of alternative measures. In May, 2001, the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area sought, and obtained, the Land Conservation and Development Commission’s approval of an alternative standard to accomplish reduced reliance on the automobile pursuant to OAR 660-012-0035(5). The approved standard consists of six performance measures designed to reduce automobile reliance and increase transportation choices. The six performance measures focus on nodal development, bus rapid transit, transportation demand management and priority bikeway miles. The proposed amendments will not interfere with the region’s ability to meet the approved alternative performance standards. Further, the proposed amendments are necessary to comply with OAR 660-012-0015(3); that TPR provision requiring cities to prepare, adopt and amend TSPs for lands within their planning jurisdiction to establish a system of transportation facilities and services adequate to meet identified local transportation needs. Specifically regarding the proposed amendment related to Project No. 333, a recent study showed that West 11th at Terry Street (where the highway narrows from four lanes to two), is functioning at a Volume to Capacity ratio (V/C) of 1.06, LOS E during the PM peak hour; below ODOT’s mobility standard for this intersection of V/C 0.80 (Statewide highway, designated Freight Route) and City of Eugene LOS standards are D or better. The TPR states that when amendments to a functional plan would significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility the local government shall put in place measures to assure that the allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and performance standards (level of service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. Adoption of the amendments will not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility. 5 Based on these findings, the amendments are consistent with Goal 12. GOAL 13 - ENERGY CONSERVATION: To conserve energy. The Energy Goal is a general planning goal that calls for land and uses developed on the land to be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles. The proposed amendments will not change the Metro Plan or TransPlan provisions related to promoting more compact development, encouraging the use of alternate modes of transportation and providing a transportation system design to increase the efficiency of travel wherever possible. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 13. GOAL 14 – URBANIZATION: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments will not change the TransPlan and Metro Plan provisions adopted to preserve the distinction between urban and rural uses through the development of policies and programs that provide for more efficient urban uses within the UGB, thus preserving rural lands for rural uses. Accordingly, the amendments comply with Goal 14. GOAL 15 - WILLAMETTE RIVER GREENWAY: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. The Willamette River Greenway area with the Urban Growth Boundary is governed by existing local provisions that have been acknowledged as complying with Goal 15. Those provisions will be unchanged by the amendments. The amendments will not change TransPlan’s and the Metro Plan’s provisions related to the protection and maintenance of the scenic, historical, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River. Further, the amendments will not affect TransPlan’s and the Metro Plan’s compliance with Goal 15. Therefore, the amendments comply with Goal 15. GOALS 16-19 – COASTAL GOALSEstuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelines, Beaches and : ( Dunes, and Ocean Resources) There are no estuarine resources, shorelines, beaches, dunes, or ocean resources located within the Metro Plan or TransPlan boundary. Accordingly, Goals 16, 17, 18, and 19 are not applicable. Criterion B. Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. TransPlan guides regional transportation system planning and development in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. The region covered by TransPlan is the “TransPlan Study Area”, which is an area extending beyond the UGB and Metro Plan boundary that is used for transportation modeling purposes. The proposed amendments to the Metro Plan and TransPlan will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. Specifically, the Metro Plan and TransPlan projects lists will be simultaneously amended to ensure that the two plans have identical lists. Additionally, the amendments are consistent with the one applicable Metro Plan finding discussed below. 6 F.9 Adopt by reference, as part of the Metro Plan, the 20-Year Capital Investment Actions project lists contained in TransPlan. Project timing and estimated costs are not adopted as policy. The proposed amendments to the project lists contained in TransPlan will be adopted by reference into the Metro Plan. CONCLUSION The proposed amendments meet all applicable standards and criteria in EC 9.7730(3). 00226377.DOC;2 7 ߬¬¿½¸³»²¬ Þ Attachment A: Regional Transportation Work Plan September 8, 2008 Ongoing

ABSENT: Richard Duncan, Jeffrey Mills, commissioners. Mr. Carroll convened the Eugene Planning Commission. PUBLIC HEARING ON TRANSPLAN AND METRO PLAN AMENDMENT TransPlan Project List Update (MA 09-2): The proposed amendments are text amendments to the Eugene-Springfield Regional Transportation System Plan (TransPlan) to move two ODOT projects from the Future list to the Financially Constrained list to reflect higher priority status for future th funding of these two projects. The two projects are: West 11 Avenue from Greenhill Road to Terry Street, and Beltline Highway. Concurrent amendments to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (the “Metro Plan”) are requested to maintain consistency between TransPlan and the Metro Plan Mr. Carroll called the meeting of the Eugene Planning Commission to order. Mr. Carroll asked for conflicts of interest, ex parte contacts, or declarations of bias. There were none declared. Mr. Carroll announced the purpose of the hearing, which was to hear testimony on the proposed amendments to the TransPlan project list. Mr. Yeiter introduced the topic, clarifying that the amendments before the commission were pertinent to Eugene only and did not require the participation of Springfield and Lane County. The amendments would take two projects from the list of unfunded projects and move them to the financially constrained list of projects, making them more likely to receive funding within 20 years. The Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) had revised the federally required plan to accommodate the two projects. There was now an expectation that studies would be funded for the two projects. Mr. Yeiter recalled that the commission requested additional information at the April 7 joint meeting with the Springfield and Lane County commissions that had been provided via e-mail. He called the commission’s attention to a letter from William Hatton of the Bureau of Land Management’s Eugene th District Office, which spoke to the environmental constraints related to the wetlands adjacent to West 11 Avenue. Mr. Inerfeld said the changes before the commission were consistent with the work plan approved by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. The shift to the financially constrained list meant the MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission May 5, 2009 Page 1 City was making those projects a priority over the life of the plan. He reported that in 2006, the City Council had gone on record stating the Beltline project was its first priority for funding in north and west th Eugene, and West 11 Avenue was the second priority for funding in the same area. The City was actively moving both projects along. The Oregon Department of Transportation was currently doing a facility planning study for Beltline and had $2.5 million scheduled to complete the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) work required. Mr. Inerfeld said approval of the amendments were consistent with the Council’s direction. Mr. Yeiter asked the commission to make a recommendation on the matter to the council, and noted the draft motion provided by staff. Mr. Carroll opened the public hearing. Kevin Matthews , President of the Friends of Eugene (FOE), PO Box 1588, Eugene, submitted a five- page written statement on behalf of FOE into the record. Mr. Matthews expressed concern about the project because it would result in a four-lane road that would eventually run into a two-lane road. He suggested that there might be critical habitat in the project footprint. He questioned the accuracy of the maps used by the Lane Council of Governments in developing the project. Mr. Matthews did not believe that the City should be adding new lane miles of roadway to the “outer parts of the urban growth boundary” without a strong assurance of good results and minimized impacts. He asserted that “all kinds of formal planning references show that new lane miles of roadway induce traffic.” Mr. Matthews said that people who live on the urban fringe drive one and one-half to twice the average of those living in the city center. He asserted that to reduce carbon emissions to the degree necessary in 40 years, the City must reduce emissions between five and ten percent each year. That did not take into account population increases. Mr. Matthews acknowledged that there were likely to be technological advances that reduced emissions, but asserted that “nobody who has studied this in detail” believed the reductions needed could be achieved by advances in vehicle technology. He asked the commission to let the Beltline project move forward but to take this “climate-busting, sprawl project” that he did not think justified off the list. There being no further testimony, Mr. Carroll requested a staff response. Mr. Inerfeld reminded the commission of the lengthy public process that a project must go through to get included in TransPlan and to be constructed. He said that there was a considerable amount of private land in the area was going to be developed by somebody at some time and the City needed to have a facility in th place to respond to that development. Currently, West 11 Avenue in that area lacked both sidewalks and bicycle facilities. If people wished to access development in the area without driving, they could not do so. Mr. Inerfeld said the Facility Planning Study would include opportunities for public engagement where the issues mentioned by Mr. Matthews could be raised. He pointed out that the project would also have to go through the NEPA process, which also included opportunities for public input and was intended to address the environmental issues raised by Mr. Matthews. Mr. Yeiter indicated the commission could postpone action if it wished to further consider the issues raised in testimony. Mr. Carroll asked for direction regarding what sources the commission could consult in reaching its decision. Mr. Yeiter suggested the commission could leave the record open to gather additional information. Ms. Brotherton said that the commission could consult TransPlan, the Metro Plan, and the MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission May 5, 2009 Page 2 City Code. If the commission wished to know what analysis the MPC employed to move the project, she recommended the commission leave the record open for sufficient time to allow for the submittal of that information. Mr. Inerfeld clarified that the work plan agreed to by LCDC meant Eugene must bring TransPlan into conformity with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), but that did not oblige the council to move the projects to the constrained list. Mr. Yeiter concurred. th Mr. Hledik asked if the West 11 Avenue project was a five-lane project. Mr. Inerfeld said that the description of the project was not “set in stone” but was illustrative of the project if built to Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) standards. Mr. Hledik determined from Mr. Inerfeld that moving the project to the financially constrained list did not bind the City to project construction. Ms. Brotherton spoke to the question of whether a project on a futures list could be built before a project on the financially constrained list. She said the answer was yes, and TransPlan actually spoke to the question by stating that such projects could be implemented earlier if funding was identified. She noted that the State lacked a requirement for a futures and financially constrained list, and the reason for the separate lists in TransPlan was because the plan used to also serve as the federal plan. th Responding to a question from Mr. Yeiter, Mr. Inerfeld was unsure if study funds for the West 11 Avenue project would be jeopardized by failure to include it on the financially constrained list. Mr. Hledik recalled hearing of a legislative proposal for a Highway 126 study. Mr. Inerfeld said that th senators Prozanski and Holvey sponsored a bill to do a study of west 11 Avenue from Greenhill Road to Veneta, and Lane County requested federal funding for the same segment from Representative Peter DeFazio through the federal transportation reauthorization process. That did not presuppose a road design. Responding to a question from Ms. Bierle about the Council’s direction, Mr. Inerfeld said that after the West Eugene Parkway was voted down by the Council, the Council gave staff direction to pursue the th West 11 Avenue project as one of the City’s top three transportation priority projects in north and west Eugene. Ms. Brotherton said more recently, the Council considered the transportation work plan and initiated amendments to TransPlan to remove the West Eugene Parkway project and add the two projects in question. Ms. Kneeland asked why the segment in question was favored by the Council. Mr. Inerfeld believed it was because the council wanted to be able to serve the transportation demand that would have otherwise be borne by the West Eugene Parkway. The segment of roadway in question was one of only two sections of ODOT roadways in Eugene not constructed to urban standards; the other section was Highway 99 from Roosevelt to Garfield. Ms. Bierle asked if the ODOT facilities planning study would address issues such as public transit and incorporation of the recommendations of the West Eugene Collaborative (WEC). Mr. Inerfeld did not th think that any of the WEC recommendations pertained to this section of West 11 Avenue, but said ODOT would consider such things. He added that the City participated in such studies and Lane Transit District would also be solicited for input. He added that no funding had yet been identified for a facilities th study of West 11 Avenue. Mr. Inerfeld said he would provide the commission with copies of the minutes reflecting the Council’s discussions. Mr. Lawless inquired as to the time of those discussions. Mr. Inerfeld said they occurred in MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission May 5, 2009 Page 3 fall 2006. Mr. Lawless characterized that as “a while back” and said he would be interested in the context of that conversation before the commission deliberated. th Mr. Hledik suggested the proposed West 11 Avenue project could open the door to funding for the technical analysis related to the recommendations of the WEC. Mr. Inerfeld, a member of the WEC, reiterated that the WEC’s recommendations did not encompass the segment of the roadway in question. The WEC had endorsed the Highway 126 study proposed by Senator Prozanski and Representative Holvey. Mr. Hledik suggested the project would “complete that length” of the roadway not addressed by the Highway 126 study and WEC recommendations. At the request of Mr. Carroll, Mr. Inerfeld identified the location of Terry Street on a map. Mr. Lawless asked for information about the rationale for the four-lane road improvement that occurred th on West 11 Avenue between Terry and Danebo streets. Mr. Matthews said the WEC’s area of focus extended to Greenhill, but he asserted its “area of interest” extended beyond Veneta. The WEC did not make specific recommendations about the section of West th 11 Avenue in question. The WEC had made general recommendations about concentrating density inside of Beltline. He believed that the project, while “in the works” while the WEC deliberated, was not necessarily consistent with the vision of the WEC. He maintained that the WEC “addressed it by absence” rather than explicitly. The WEC called for road improvements to be made within existing rights-of-way. He thought the WEC would like it if the commission considered the WEC vision and how the project fit into the WEC’s priorities. Mr. Inerfeld observed that the WEC tended to avoid topics on which members did not reach consensus. th Mr. Hledik asked if the City had considered how widening West 11 Avenue affected its vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction goal. Mr. Inerfeld clarified that the City did not have a VMT reduction goal. With the concurrence of the State, Eugene-Springfield had adopted alternative performance measures in TransPlan because it was determined it could not meet a VMT reduction target. He added that the City would be updating TransPlan soon and would be bound by what rules were in place at the time in regard to VMT reductions. He doubted any facilities planning work would occur on the road segment in question before that update was completed. Mr. Hledik asked if the road configuration would be evaluated against those new VMT standards. Ms. Brotherton said the City would have to meet any requirements in place. He said that individual projects were not considered in terms of VMT reduction. Ms. Brotherton said that VMT reduction was considered on a regional basis, so one road project did not put the region out of compliance. Mr. Hledik asked how the incremental impact of projects was measured. Ms. Brotherton said the City had benchmarks against which to evaluate progress. She said the City was in good shape overall in regard to the benchmarks. Mr. Hledik posited that the City could rezone all of the periphery to very low-density zoning and rezone the heart of the community to high-density residential and as long as the region met the performance standards on a regional basis, that was acceptable. Ms. Brotherton said yes, although there might be other policies that precluded that. Ms. Kneeland asked if a VMT reduction was an alternative performance measurement that the City must meet. Staff indicated it would clarify that issue. MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission May 5, 2009 Page 4 Mr. Lawless asked if the alternative performance measures excluded the use of VMT as a measurement. Ms. Brotherton did not think so. Responding to a question from Mr. Hledik, Mr. Inerfeld clarified that the alternative performance measures were not applied to individual projects; they were applied at the regional level because they addressed the number of acres rezoned for nodal development and the miles of priority bikeways that had been built, and those were not the type of metrics that could be easily applied to an individual project. Mr. Carroll closed the public hearing and kept the public record open for 21 days to allow for the submittal of additional information from staff. Ms. Kneeland requested information about other relevant City policies that addressed VMT. Mr. Carroll requested information about whether projects were added to the plan for political reason by the elected officials at the MPC or if there was technical analysis supporting the inclusion of the projects. Mr. Inerfeld did not believe there was any coordination among MPC members to add the projects. Mr. Carroll adjourned the hearing at 6:03 p.m. (Recorded by Kimberly Young) MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission May 5, 2009 Page 5 ATTACHMENT F Public Works Engineering M City of Eugene EMORANDUM 858 Pearl Street Eugene, Oregon 97401 (541) 682-5291 (541) 682-5032 FAX Date: October 16, 2009 To: Planning Commission From: Rob Inerfeld, Transportation Planning Manager Subject: Follow up on May 5 Public Hearing At the May 5, 2009 public hearing regarding moving two ODOT projects from the Future to the Financially Constrained list in TransPlan, a number of questions came up for which staff said we would follow up in a subsequent memo. Answers to the questions are provided below. 1.City Council minutes and other materials regarding the Council’s desire to move the West th 11 project to the Financially Constrained list (or to higher priority status). The City Council held work sessions on September 25, 2006 and October 9, 2006 to discuss transportation priorities in north and west Eugene. At the second work session, the Council passed motions regarding transportation project priorities to identify the Beltline Corridor from River Road to Coburg Road as the City’s top priority for funding in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), West 11th Avenue from Terry Street to Greenhill Road as its second priority, and a study of the Beltline Corridor from Roosevelt Boulevard to West 11th Avenue as a third priority for funding in the STIP. On August 13, 2008, the City Council initiated TransPlan and Metro Plan amendments to move two projects from the Future to Financially Constrained projects list in TransPlan: W. 11th Avenue from Greenhill Road to Terry Street, and Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway. Specifically, the City Council passed the following motion: I move to initiate a TransPlan amendment to delete the West Eugene Parkway from the project list and plan as part of the short-term amendments and to add the two ODOT facility projects into the “Constrained” project list, which are the West 11th Avenue from Terry to Greenhill and the Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway. The minutes of these three Council work sessions are provided as attachments. 2.Similarly, minutes and background materials supporting MPC’s decision to move the West th 11 project to the Financially Constrained list in the RTP. 1 At the March 8, 2007 Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, a draft proposed Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) project list for ODOT projects was presented for discussion. This document included the proposal to move the West 11th Avenue project from the Illustrative project list to the Financially Constrained project list. The staff presentation at the MPC meeting indicated that removing the West Eugene Parkway freed up $150 million on the financially constrained list over the 20-year horizon of the RTP. The minutes from the March 8 meeting do not indicate that there was any discussion about the West 11th Avenue project. A revised version of the ODOT project list was presented at the April 12, 2007 MPC meeting and the minutes from that meeting also do not indicate any discussion about the West 11th project. Minutes from subsequent meetings through adoption of the 2031 RTP update on November 8, 2007 do not indicate any discussion about the West 11th project. The minutes for the MPC meetings as well as the RTP project lists can be found at this website: http://docs.lcog.org/meetings/mpc.html. th 3.Explanation of the reasoning behind widening West 11 Avenue to, at least, Terry Street. th Why are west 11 Avenue improvements done incrementally? The section of West 11th Avenue from Beltline to Willow Creek/Danebo was reconstructed around 1998. The city managed this project for ODOT and it was constructed with a combination of ODOT and federal funds. This capacity was increased on this section of West 11th to serve Hynix. The section of West 11th Avenue from Willow Creek/Danebo to Terry was reconstructed around 2000. The city managed this project for ODOT and it was constructed with a combination of ODOT funds and IOF lottery funds for economic development and job creation purposes. This capacity was increased on this section of West 11th to develop access to the Greenhill Technology Park. Development has been slow west of Terry Street because sanitary sewer services have not yet been extended to the area. Sewer service is being extended from the north, through the Royal Node area, to serve the planned development potential between Danebo and Green Hill Road. 4.Explain the role of VMT reduction in the adopted TransPlan. Is it a performance measure? Is VMT reduction reviewed on a case-by-case, project-by-project basis? As discussed in TransPlan, Oregon’s Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) requires compliance with certain performance measures by either meeting a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction target or obtaining approval of alternative measures. In May, 2001, the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area sought, and obtained, the Land Conservation and Development Commission’s approval of an alternative standard to accomplish reduced reliance on the automobile pursuant to OAR 660-012-0035(5). The approved standard consists of six performance measures designed to reduce automobile reliance and increase transportation choices. The six performance measures focus on nodal development, bus rapid transit, transportation demand management and priority bikeway miles. The inclusion of the internal VMT and VMT per capita in 1995 and 2015 on the alternative performance measures chart was to demonstrate that VMT per capital is unlikely to increase more than 5% (such a demonstration is a requirement of OAR 660-012- 0035(5)); these VMT numbers are not, however, a part of the approved alternative performance measures. VMT numbers are also not reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Oregon’s TPR requires local governments and metropolitan planning organizations to evaluate progress toward achieving the approved standards and the adopted benchmarks that correspond 2 with the standards. On March 5, 2008, Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) staff provided the MPC with an evaluation and report on the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area’s progress towards achieving the approved alternative performance measures. Consistent with the TPR and the approved performance measures, the evaluation and report are based on a metropolitan-area- wide analysis. LCOG’s 2008 memorandum and supporting documents are attached. 3 ATTACHMENT J From: YEITER Kurt M Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 12:54 PM To: CARROLL Phillip (SMTP); MILLS Jeffery (SMTP); LAWLESS John (SMTP); HLEDIK Randy (SMTP); BEIERLE Heidi (SMTP); KNEELAND Ann (SMTP); DUNCAN Rick (SMTP) Cc: CABANISS Jan E; WEISS Carolyn J; GARDNER Lisa A; INERFELD Rob; BROTHERTON Kathryn (Harrang) Subject: RE: May 5 hearing: "Financially Constrained" list Phillip, In answer to your question about the term “Financially Constrained,” I’ll provide a short answer and, for those who want more info, a longer answer. I appreciate questions that make us think about terms we use in a daily, off-handed fashion. Shorter answer: The term “Financially Constrained” is one of several categories, or lists, required of projects by federal transportation planning rules. Financially Constrained project lists identify those portions of the full lists of identified needs in the long-range plan that can be funded with reasonably expected revenues over the plan horizon, which is typically 20 years. Thus, "financially constrained" simply means planning for that portion of the total need constrained to the reasonably expected financial resources. Projects on the “Financially Constrained” list typically represent a higher local or regional priority than those on the “Future” list, assuming that some funding would be available for those projects. Longer Answer (with thanks to LCOG staff): "Financially constrained" is a federal term, in this case a requirement of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in the development of federally-required Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) and Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Programs (MTIPs). Specifically, related to the RTP, it arises from this requirement: "Include [in the RTP] a financial plan that demonstrates the consistency of proposed transportation investments with already available and projected sources of revenue. The financial plan shall compare the estimated revenue from existing and proposed funding sources that can reasonably be expected to be available for transportation uses, and the estimated costs of constructing, maintaining and operating the total (existing plus planned) transportation system over the period of the plan. The estimated revenue by existing revenue source (local, State, and Federal and private) available for transportation projects shall be determined and any shortfalls identified. Proposed new revenues and/or revenue sources to cover shortfalls shall be identified, including strategies for ensuring their availability for proposed investments. Existing and proposed revenues shall cover all forecasted capital, operating, and maintenance costs. All cost and revenue projections shall be based on the data reflecting the existing situation and historical trends. For nonattainment and maintenance areas, the financial plan shall address the specific financial strategies required to ensure the implementation of projects and programs to reach air quality compliance." You may have noticed that the federal RTP uses the term “Illustrative List” for the same project list that TransPlan calls the “Future” list. As explained by LCOG staff: “The switch from "Future" to "Illustrative" is one of both reflecting a change in the predominant federal language, and for clarity. Back in the 1990s, RTP project list(s) reflecting the portion of the need that was beyond the Financially Constrained list(s) was generally referred to as the "Future" project list(s). This was supposed to confer the concept that, due to funding constraints, those needs would likely not be met over the plan horizon. However, it was mis-leading. The full set of all needs identified in the RTP is supposed to reflect the full projected need for transportation investment over the horizon of the plan. The term "Future" mistakenly conveyed an impression that those projects on the Future list(s) could be deferred beyond the horizon -- often mistakenly giving the impression that they weren't really needed. The reality is that the "Future" list projects are needed within the time of the plan horizon, but likely must be deferred due to a lack of funding. The term "Illustrative" was coined to reflect the fact that the RTP identifies all of the projected need, lists the priorities that can be funded within Financial Constraint, and then conveys the remaining Illustrative need that remains and would/will be provided should additional funding become available.” The title of the “Future” lists has just not yet been changed in TransPlan.” TransPlan Chapter 3 provides more explanation about how the lists are used and how they differ (excerpts are provided below): “[The] Financial Plan describes total Capital Investment Action project costs, anticipated revenues from existing sources, the expected gap in revenues, potential yields from new revenue sources, factors to consider in determining project priorities, and the Financially Constrained TransPlan. *** The projects selected for inclusion as Financially Constrained 20-Year Capital Investment Actions establish a network of facilities that meet overall transportation needs for the 20-year planning period.*** The Financially Constrained 20-Year Capital Investment Action project lists will be adopted, making them legislatively binding. However, the specific timing, design, and financing provisions of TransPlan’s recommended projects are not formally adopted. The project lists are not intended to serve as an exclusive long-range programming document in the manner of the regional TIP, nor do they formally approve or commit any funding.*** The Capital Investment Actions are presented in five tables/lists: 1a. Financially Constrained 20-Year Capital Investment Actions: Roadway Projects 1b. Future (Beyond 20 Years) 20-Year Capital Investment Actions: Roadway Projects 2. Financially Constrained 20-Year Capital Investment Actions: Transit Projects 3a. Financially Constrained 20-Year Capital Investment Actions: Bicycle Projects 3b. Future (Beyond 20 Years) Capital Investment Actions: Bicycle Projects Project Implementation Phases The Roadway and Bicycle project lists are subdivided into Financially Constrained and Future implementation phases. The Financially Constrained project lists include Programmed and Unprogrammed projects: ? Programmed (0-5 years) projects have been identified in a local agency's CIP, the regional TIP or the STIP. These projects have funding sources identified that will enable them to proceed to project construction. ? Unprogrammed (6-20 years) projects may not have specific funding sources identified, but are expected to be funded with reasonable assumptions about expected revenues. Future (beyond 20 years) projects are not planned for construction during the 20-year planning period. These projects are not part of the financially constrained plan. However, these projects could be implemented earlier if additional funding is identified. Expanded WorkPlan.pdf As described in the Capital Investment Action Implementation Process on page 4 [of TransPlan Chapter 3], in all cases, inclusion of a project in a particular phase does not represent a commitment to complete the project during that phase. It is expected that some projects may be accelerated and others postponed due to changing conditions, funding availability, public input, or more detailed study performed during programming and budgeting processes. “ I hope this helps or, at least, may have been somewhat interesting or educational.

ABSENT: Jeffery Mills, member. Mr. Carroll convened the Planning Commission and called for public comment. I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES—May 11, 2009 Mr. Lawless, seconded by Ms. Beierle, moved that the May 11, 2009 minutes be approved as submitted. The motion passed unanimously, 5:0. II. PUBLIC COMMENT Ms. Kneeland arrived at 11:35 a.m. Responding to a question from Kevin Matthews, Ms. Brotherton stated the West Eleventh Avenue widening project was being processed as a quasi-judicial matter, the record was closed and the Planning Commission could take no additional information. Kevin Matthews, P.O. Box 1588, said it would be helpful for the public for the Planning Commission to clarify which processes were following the legislative path and which were following the quasi-judicial path. He said the neighborhood program was an important area of city activity. While it had been through some ups and downs over the years, the current leadership was earning confidence, and he encouraged the Planning Commission to support the program. Majeska Seese-Green , P.O. Box 1214, speaking as the Whiteaker Community Council (WCC) neighborhood empowerment initiative representative, echoed Mr. Matthews regarding the neighborhood services staff. She asserted the 2009 Neighborhood Summit did not have the authority to deal with priorities for the neighborhoods and the City, as stated in the Agenda Item Summary (AIS) entitled Neighborhood Program Update included in today’s agenda packet. She added some people felt it was time for the neighborhood empowerment initiative to evolve into another stage and be updated. MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 3 III. NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PROGRAM UPDATE Mr. Kinnison offered the staff report and reviewed the Significant Events—2005 to Date including: Neighborhood Empowerment Initiative (NEI) identified as Council priority since 2005. Office relocated from Community Development to Planning and to a “public” space on the ground floor of Atrium. Neighborhood Matching Grant Program reinstated in 2007 (funding not identified past FY2010). Staffing changes included creation of two neighborhood planner positions, internal consolidation of positions and program management turnover. Current staffing included a Program Coordinator, Neighborhood Planner and Program Manager. Mr. Kinnision reviewed Program Services: Funding Neighborhood Improvements. Facilitating Communication. Providing Information and Facilitating Delivery of Services. Neighborhood Based Planning. Building Neighborhood Capacity. Neighborhood Empowerment. Looking Ahead. Mr. Lawless thanked Mr. Kinnison for the message he offered. He agreed it was time to look at land use implications of the overall process and try to mature them. Responding to a question from Mr. Carroll, Mr. Kinnison said the consultant used a variety of outreach methods including targeted interviews with City staff, neighborhood leaders and community groups, as well as a web based survey from which they identified missed opportunities for linkages between non-profits organizations, community groups and neighborhood associations. The program was supporting community mediation services to do targeted mediation in the Amazon neighborhood which provided another way to link with a community group. Mr. Carroll opined neighborhoods were not only geographic areas but also communities of interest and asked how the City was approaching those communities of interest. Mr. Kinnison said neighborhoods boundaries provided a framework for action and a way to resolve issues that resounded through all neighborhoods, citing collaborating with Police Chief Pete Kerns and the Eugene Police Department (EPD) Crime Prevention Unit as examples. Ms. Beierle said the Implementation Team had discussed Recommendation #4,Develop a three- pronged approach to community organizing, and the difference between neighborhoods, neighborhood associations, and interest based versus issue based organizing. Responding to a question from Mr. Hledik, Mr. Kinnison stated it was challenging in larger neighborhoods to encourage participation and keep people involved. Any changes would need to be carefully implemented to maintain leadership capacity in the new configuration. Guidelines MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 4 had been in place since 2000 but not successfully implemented. Mr. Kinnison was not aware of how school district boundaries were drawn. Mr. Duncan wanted to move forward to develop a process for addressing very large neighborhood associations, such as Cal Young Neighborhood Association and Active Bethel Citizens. The Cal Young group tended to gather by issues that varied by individual neighborhoods within the association which covered a large geographic area. Ms. Kneeland thanked Mr. Kinnison for the important work of the Neighborhood Program and the growing trust it was achieving. The hands off approach had encouraged strong proposals from a strong neighborhood voice for recent projects. Such a process would foster an environment where the City and the neighborhood groups could work together and respect each other both when there was agreement and disagreement. Mr. Lawless stated that when implementing Recommendation #9, Implement neighborhood-based planning, it would be important to educate, link and empower the grass roots efforts that happened for neighborhood planning to the guiding principles of the State land use goals and the City’s Growth Management Policies (GMP). For neighborhood based planning to be useful, the participants needed to be held accountable to manage the decisions and investigations under the land use goals and GMP. Ms. Beierle asked that clarification of the distinction between neighborhoods and neighborhood associations be pursued early in the process. She noted while attending the Neighborhoods, USA Conference people were speaking about neighborhoods rather than neighborhood associations. Thinking about neighborhoods may better help balance relationships. She asked how well the Neighborhood Empowerment Initiative (NEI) was functioning and if it was time to turn it into something new. She encouraged the Planning Commission to establish a more enduring connection with the neighborhood groups and develop a formal reporting structure. Mr. Kinnison responded discussions were underway regarding what the NEI has done and whether it was as effective as it could be. Mr. Carroll said the Planning Commission had its scope of responsibilities and saw the neighborhoods through that window. He asked if there were other standing City boards, commissions and committees staff worked with for which there were standing neighborhood liaisons. Mr. Kinnison opined the relationships were getting closer. He had been invited to serve on the Diversity Advisory Board which was looking at implementing the Diversity and Equity Strategic Plan (DESP). He added Lorna Flormoe had been working with the SNAPS project to develop an outreach training for neighborhoods targeting unrepresented groups to broaden their participation and staff were working more closely with sustainability staff. Mr. Kinnison said a recommendation had been made to move the Neighborhood Program to the City Manager’s Office. IV. FINAL ACTION: TRANSPLAN AND METRO PLAN TEXT Mr. Inerfeld offered the staff report and a reviewed the status of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Eugene/Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) revisions as outlined in the Agenda Item Summary (AIS). He asserted the City Council was a decision maker in the MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 5 process and it was necessary for the Council to endorse recommendations of the Facility Plan for the ODOT projects to move forward. Responding to a question from Ms. Beierle, Mr. Inerfeld explained moving projects to the financially constrained category prioritized projects to receive future funding and allowed developers to rely upon the projects as reasonably likely to be constructed. In response to Ms. Kneeland’s question regarding U.S. Department of the Interior’s (DOI) projects in the wetlands and potential endangered species issues, Ms. Brotherton stated the there was nothing specific about goals, TransPlan or Metro Plan policy that was addressed in the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) findings. The findings offered a heads up to help identify issues that would need to be addressed later. Mr. Inerfeld added that the facilities planning process provided an opportunity get all of the issues on table but did not presuppose specific design. He iterated the City Council would ultimately need to approve finding a need and development of a design concept. Additionally, the project would go through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Referring to the Friends of Eugene (FOE) May 5, 2009 correspondence, Mr. Hledik noted their statement “there was no substantial demonstrated need for this project”. He stated the West Eugene Parkway (WEP) modeling and Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) for various development projects pointed towards the need to at least evaluate the project for further consideration. Further noting the letter stated the proposal was “clearly contrary to the intent and letter of several state planning goals, as well as clearly contrary to several of Eugene’s own growth management policies”, he asserted the City had an obligation to provide facilities to serve its planned land use, particularly in west Eugene which had been developed as an industrial area in addition to residential land uses. The City had an obligation to provide a facilities plan that addressed water, sewer, fire and transportation. Mr. Hledik asked where the inconsistencies as cited by the FOE were. Ms. Brotherton stated the City Attorney’s office found no specific inconsistencies had been identified through public testimony. The City Attorney’s review and analysis had resulted in findings of consistency in goals and policies. Mr. Lawless noted during the hearing Mr. Carroll had asked if projects had been added to the plan for political reasons by elected officials at the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) or if technical analysis supporting inclusion of the project had occurred. He understood that no technical information other than studies on the WEP supported or implied the desire to elevate the West Eleventh Avenue project. Mr. Inerfeld was not aware of technical analysis, but rather an identified need. When the WEP was cancelled approximately $150 million became available for other projects which resulted in other Eugene projects being moved to the ODOT constrained list. Mr. Carroll interpreted the action as a political decision in that minutes for City Council and MPC meetings reflected that the West Eleventh Avenue project illustrated it was a compromise or a logical substitution for the WEP. He would vote against recommending the project be moved to the financially constrained list because the Planning Commission’s recommendation and discussions were muddled. It was important to clarify that WEP was gone and something needed to be done on West Eleventh Avenue. Additionally, the City Council needed to identify the point MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 6 of the project. He found inconsistencies with Goal 2, the need for a factual basis for minor plan changes and Goal 12, transportation. Several community advisory groups were currently studying various plans and projects, and he thought a new perspective of the project may result from that work. Mr. Hledik asked if there were any directives resulting from the governor’s studies on climate change and vehicle emissions that would impact Planning Commission actions. Mr. Inerfeld was not aware of any climate change mandates in the transportation package that passed during the 2009 legislative session. Mr. Hledik, seconded by Mr. Lawless, moved that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt the amendments to TransPlanand the Metro Plan to move Projects 333 and 506 from the “Future” project list to the “Financially Constrained” project list based on the findings of consistency set forth in Attachment A and the evidence and testimony entered into the record. Mr. Lawless averred he reluctantly seconded the motion because he thought there was too much separation between the technical need, the ongoing issues on West Eleventh Avenue, and the fact that this seemed to be a politically convenient shift to leverage additional funds. However, it felt as if it was part of a broader system that eventually needed to studied, which could occur by placement on the financially constrained list. He believed in a simple approach to sustaining the urban growth boundary (UGB), staying within the development zone for the broader interests of the state, which meant development would occur within the UGB, for which the City was required to provide urban services. He would vote yes because this would allow the next level of study to happen and he believed there would be sufficient process to discuss the pertinent issues. Ms. Kneeland would vote no on the West Eleventh Avenue extension but would support the Beltline Highway. Mr. Duncan would support the motion although he agreed there was a lack of technical data regarding West Eleventh Avenue and the area which would be affected. He also agreed further studies would answer outstanding questions. He was concerned about this being the politically acceptable thing to do after the loss of the WEP and the work of the West Eugene Collaborative (WEC), but that was insufficient to support voting against the motion. Ms. Beierle felt it would be easier to vote for the Beltline Highway project without attaching it to the West Eleventh Avenue project. She saw opportunities for transportation alternatives and the ability to meet the transportation performance measures by additional studies and West Eleventh Avenue design. She questioned how convinced the City Council was on moving forward with the proposal based upon the tie vote. The Planning Commission briefly discussed the logistics of either splitting the motion, amending the motion, or withdrawing the motion. Mr. Duncan requested that detailed rather than summary minutes of the discussion be submitted to City Council. Mr. Hledik withdrew the motion. MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 7 Mr. Lawless withdrew the second to the motion. Mr. Hledik, seconded by Mr. Lawless, moved that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt the amendments to TransPlanand the Metro Plan to move Project 506, Beltline Highway from River Road to Delta Highway, from the “Future” project list to the “Financially Constrained” project list based on the findings of consistency set forth in Attachment A and the evidence and testimony entered into the record. The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. Mr. Hledik, seconded by Mr. Lawless, moved that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt the amendments to TransPlanand the Metro Plan to move Project 333, West Eleventh Avenue from Greenhill Road to Terry Street, from the “Future” project list to the “Financially Constrained” project list based on the findings of consistency set forth in Attachment A and the evidence and testimony entered into the record. The motion passed 4:2, with Commissioners Beierle, Duncan, Hledik and Lawless voting in favor of the motion, and Commissioners Carroll and Kneeland voting in opposition to the motion. Mr. Carroll thanked Mr. Inerfeld for his work on the project. V. ITEMS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF A. Other Items from Staff Ms. Weiss explained staff would be seeking approval from the City Council in the fall for tools that could be used in an opportunity siting pilot program. Staff hoped Planning Commissioners would talk with their Council Buddies regarding incentives similar to the Multi Use Property Tax Exemption (MUPTE) program. There was consensus on the part of commissioners to engage in that dialogue with councilors this summer. Ms. Gardner announced Jan Cabaniss would be retiring from the City on July 17, 2009. Ms. Cabaniss had supported the Planning Commission for over 20 years. B. Other Items from Commission In response to Mr. Duncan, Ms. Gardner said Commission agendas were currently being sent to commissioners electronically and in paper form. With a straw poll, Commissioners Beierle, Carroll, Kneeland, Lawless wished to continue to receive paper copies, and Commissioners Duncan and Hledik were satisfied with the electronic version. Responding to a question from Mr. Hledik, Ms. Brotherton agreed to check on recent legislative changes to the required periodic reporting for board and commission members. Mr. Duncan reported that the Comprehensive Land Assessment group continued to meet monthly and would complete its work by the end of 2009. Mr. Hledik reported the last Planning Commission meeting coincided with the Airport Master Plan update meeting which focused on land use. Although neither he, Mr. Flock nor Mr. Yeiter MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 8 were able to attend, questions about glide slopes and noise contours were submitted for consideration on future impacts on land use planning. Mr. Carroll asked if Mr. Matthews’ comments about quasi-judicial process had been addressed. Ms. Brotherton explained quasi-judicial versus legislative had been a close call. She opined changes to the agenda language would be helpful. Mr. Carroll adjourned the meeting at 1:20 p.m. (Recorded by Linda Henry) MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 29, 2009 Page 9
