The Metro Plan <br />Diagram is a generalized map which is intended to graphically reflect the broad goals, objectives, <br />and policies. As such, it cannot be used independently from or take precedence over the written <br />portion of the Metro Plan. <br />The degree to which the Metro Plan provides sufficient detail to meet the needs of each <br />jurisdiction will have to be determined by the respective jurisdictions;. "Where conflicts <br />exist among the Metro Plan, local comprehensive plans, refinement plans, and existing zoning, <br />each jurisdiction will have to establish its own schedule for bringing the zoning and refinement <br />plans into conformance with the Metro Plan or the applicable local comprehensive plan. <br />It is recognized that the needs, priorities, and resources vary with each jurisdiction and that the <br />methods and timing used to implement the Metro Plan or to conduct city-specific comprehensive <br />planning will also vary. <br />Relationship to Other Plans, Policies, and Reports <br />The Metro Plan is the basic guiding land use policy document for regional land use planning <br />As indicated in the Purpose section, above, the region also <br />utilizes <br />Refine eats to the k ,-a 16w e ekide: (a) city-wide comprehensive_ pekey <br />lp ans, ; (b) functional plans <br />and policies addressing single subjects throughout the area, including the stieh as the inn, <br />Eugene-Springfteld Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services Plan) and <br />-2001 TfaosP a the regional transportation system plan; and (c) neighborhood plans or special <br />area studies that address those issues that are unique to a specific geographical area. In all cases, <br />the Metro Plan is the guiding document for regional comprehensive land use planning and city- <br />specific plans may be adopted for local comprehensive land use planning;. Refinement <br />plans and policies must be consistent with applicable provisions in the Metro Plan or the <br />applicable local comprehensive plan. Should inconsistencies occur, the applicable <br />comprehensive plan M~-q~is the prevailing policy document. The process for reviewing <br />and adopting refinement plans is outlined in Chapter IV. <br />The following Metro Plan appendices are available at Lane Council of Governments (LCOG): <br />Annendix A Public Facilitv Plan Proiect Lists and Mans for Water.
