Chapter II <br />Fundamental Principles and <br />Growth Management Policy Framework <br />This chapter contains Fundamental Principles that reflect the overall themes of the Metro Plan. <br />The chapter also contains: Metropolitan Goals; Growth Management Goals, Findings, and <br />Policies; Eugene and Springfield Jurisdictional Responsibility, Urban and Urbanizable Land <br />River. Road and Santa Clara Goals, Findings and Policies, and Metro Plan Diagram. <br />A. Fundamental Principles <br />There are seven principles themes that are basie A fundamental to the entire Metro Plan. They <br />are implicitly included in the various individual Metro Plan components. These Fundamental <br />Principles are: <br />I. The Metro Plan is a long-range policy document providing the framework within which <br />more detailed refinement plans are prepared. This concept is discussed in more detail in <br />Spa 1 of the Introduction (Chapter 1). <br />2. To be meaningful, the Metro Plan requires cooperation by all general purpose, special <br />district, and special function agencies in the community. This reflects its comprehensive <br />nature encompassing physical land use, social, and economic implications for the <br />metropolitan area. Examples where cooperation is essential include planning and <br />implementation of a transportation system, development of a metropolitan-wide energy <br />plan, metropolitan-wide analysis and resolution of certain housing issues, and planning <br />for areas outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) and within the Plan Boundary. <br />3. The Metro Plan and most of its elements are oriented to and require that urban <br />development occur in a compact configuration within the metropolitan apresGrihed <br />urban-,ew e yea, Elaboration of this principle is treated in the other sgections BAD <br />an" of this chapter, and in the Public Facilities and Services Eelement in Chapter III. <br />4. Comprehensive plans identify and establish the plan-zoning consistency concept and <br />recognize the importance of timing concerning implementation techniques. <br />Implementation techniques, including zoning, shall generally be consistent with the <br />precepts established in the Metro Plan, which is the broad policy document for the <br />metropolitan area. The consistency test shall continuously be applied to implementation <br />measures and public actions taken to rectify inconsistencies when the general direction <br />provided by the Metro Plan is modified. A variety of potential solutions to consistency <br />problems exist, including modification to the Metro Plan or alteration to the <br />implementation techniques themselves. <br />5. The zoning process shall be monitored and adjusted to meet current urban land use <br />demands through the planning period for all land use categories. <br />II-A-1 <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 123 <br />
