EXHIBITS Page 23 <br />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 />As explained in the Metro Plan Preface and Chapter I, Eugene, Springfield and Lane County are <br />taking incremental steps to transition from a single "metropolitan UGB" to two separate UGBs, <br />"the Eugene UGB" and "the Springfield UGB." The general references to "the UGB" within this <br />Chapter II shall be interpreted as applying to any UGB within the Metro Plan area, unless the <br />text specifically refers to the metropolitan UGB, the Springfield UGB or the Eugene UGB. <br />When both the Springfield UGB and the Eugene UGB have been established, the metropolitan <br />UGB will cease to exist. <br />A. Fundamental Principles <br />There are seven principles that are fundamental to the entire Metro Plan. They are implicitly <br />included in the various individual Metro Plan components. These Fundamental Principles are: <br />I. The Metro Plan is a long-range policy document providing the framework within which <br />more detailedfe4ffeff+ef+rplans are prepared. This concept is discussed in more detail in <br />the Introduction (Chapter I). <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, and development of a metropolitan-wide <br />energy plan, metropolitan-wide analysis and resolution of certain housing issues, and <br />planning for areas outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) and within the Plan <br />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 mett:epehtan UGB. <br />Elaboration of this principle is treated in the other sections of this chapter, and in the <br />Public Facilities and Services Element in Chapter III. <br />'As a result of actions taken by all three jurisdictions in 2013, there are no lands outside the UGB within the Metro <br />Plan boundary on the east side of Interstate 5.
