d. The governing bodies of the three metropolitan jurisdictions may initiate an <br />amendment to the Metro Plan at any time. Citizen initiated Type II amendments <br />may be initiated at any time. <br />5, The approval process for Metro Plan amendments, including the number of governing <br />bodies who participate and the timeline for final action, will vary depending upon the <br />classification of amendment and whether a determination is made that the proposed <br />amendment will have Regional Impact, <br />a. All three governing bodies must approve non-site-specific text amendments; site <br />specific Metro Plan Diagram amendments that involve a UGB or Plan Boundary <br />change that crosses the Willamette or McKenzie Rivers or that crosses over a <br />ridge into a new basin; and, amendments that involve a goal exception not related <br />to a UGB expansion. <br />b. A site specific Type I Metro Plan amendment that involves a UGB expansion or <br />Plan Boundary change and a Type II Metro Plan amendment between the city <br />limits and Plan Boundary, must be approved by the home city and Lane County <br />(Springfield is the home city for amendments east of I-5 and Eugene is the home <br />city for amendments west of I-5). The non-home city will be sent a referral of the <br />proposed amendment and, based upon a determination that the proposal will have <br />Regional Impact, may choose to participate in the decision. Unless the non-home <br />city makes affirmative findings of Regional Impact, the non-home city will not <br />participate in the decision. <br />C. An amendment will be considered to have Regional Impact if. <br />(1) It will require an amendment to a jointly adopted functional plan [Eugene- <br />Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan), Eugene- <br />Springfield Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and <br />Services Plan), etc.] in order to provide the subject property with an <br />adequate level of urban services and facilities; or <br />(2) It has a demonstrable impact on the water, storm drainage, wastewater, or <br />transportation facilities of the non-home city; or <br />(3) It affects the buildable land inventory by significantly adding to Low <br />Density Residential (LDR), Campus Industrial (CI), Light-Medium <br />Industrial (LMI), or Heavy Industrial (HI) designations or significantly <br />reducing the Medium Density Residential (MDR), High Density <br />Residential (MDR), or Community Commercial (CC) designations, <br />d. A jurisdiction may amend a Metro Plan designation without causing Regional <br />Impact when this action is taken to: compensate for reductions in buildable land <br />caused by protection of newly discovered natural resources within its own <br />N-3 <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 266 <br />
