EXHIBITS Page 12 <br />Periodic Review <br />Pursuant to ORS 197.610-650, local governments are required to update their comprehensive <br />plans and land use regulations through the Periodic Review process in order to bring plans into <br />compliance with new state law and administrative rules and to ensure that the plans address <br />changing local conditions. The DLCD initiated the first Periodic Review of the Metro Plan and <br />land use regulations on June 28, 1985. The second Periodic Review process was initiated in May <br />1995. This Metro Plan is also subject to citizen- and government-initiated amendments which <br />are incorporated into the document via Metro Plan replacement pages. This Metro Plan and <br />replacement pages are available at LCOG and www.Icog.org. <br />The Eugene City Council, the Springfield City Council, and the Lane County Board of <br />Commissioners adopted identical Periodic Review amendments to the Metro Plan in 2004: <br />Eugene City Council, Ordinance No. 20319, April 21, 2004 <br />Springfield City Council, Ordinance No. 6087, May 17, 2004 <br />Lane County Board of Commissioners, Ordinance No. PA 1197, June 2, 2004 <br />Oregon Revised Statute 197.304 (2007) <br />Historically, many provisions in the Metro Plan were based on a premise that Eugene and <br />Springfield would continue to have a regional metropolitan urban growth boundary <br />("metropolitan UGB") that includes both cities and adjacent "urbanizable" areas of Lane County. <br />However, ORS 197.304, adopted by the Oregon gislature in 2007, requires Eugene and <br />Springfield to divide the metropolitan UGB into two city-specific UGBs. Each city is also <br />required to demonstrate that its separate UGB includes sufficient land to accommodate its 20- <br />year need for residential land consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10 (Housing) and Goal 14 <br />(Urbanization). These statutory mandates implicitly require each city to also adopt a separate <br />20-year population forecast. ORS 197.304 allows the cities to take these separate actions <br />"fnlotwithstanding acknowledged plan provisions to the contrary." <br />The ORS 197.304 mandates are being carried out by the two cities and Lane County through a <br />series of incremental actions over time rather than through a Metro Plan Update process. Some <br />of the land use planning that has historically been included in the Metro Plan will, instead, be <br />included in the cities' separate, city-specific comprehensive plans. This does not diminish the <br />fact that the cities and the county remain committed to regional problem-solving.1 <br />The three iurisdictions anticipate that the implementation of ORS 197.304 will result in a <br />regional land use planningprogram that continues to utilize the Metro Plan and regional <br />functional plans for land use planning responsibilities that remain regional in nature. Cites <br />specific plans will be used to address those planning responsibilities that the cities address <br />independently of each other. <br />1 In addition to the continued collaboration through some regional land use plans, such as the regional transportation <br />svstem plan and the reyional public facilities and services plan, the three iurisdictions are committed to working <br />collaboratively in other ways and throuyh other initiatives, such as the Reyional Prosperity Economic Development <br />Plan jointlypproved in February, 2010. <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 575 <br />
