EXHIBITS Page 47 <br />G. Metro Plan Diagram <br />The Metro Plan Diagram is a generalized map and graphic expression of the goals, objectives, <br />and recommendations expressed ~ n else win the applicable provisions of the Metro Plan <br />and city-specific plans. Rather than an accurate representation of actual size and shape, the <br />arrangement of existing and, to an even greater degree, projected land uses illustrated on the <br />Metro Plan Diagram, is based on the various elements and principles embodied in the Metro <br />Plan and city-specific plans. Likewise, statements in this section that prescribe specific courses <br />of action regarding the community's future should be regarded as policies. <br />Projections indicated a population of approximately 286,000 4swas expected to reside in the <br />metropolitan area around the year 2015. The allocation of living, working, and recreational areas <br />and supporting public facilities that were shown on the Metro Plan Diagram when the 2004 <br />Metro Plan Update was conducted it this s°^*i^r and on the Public Facilities Maps in Appendix <br />A generally responded to that metro-wide projection. After Springfield and Eugene have <br />(pursuant to ORS 197.304 (2007)) established their separate city-specific UGBs and designated <br />land supplies for their new 20-year planning horizons, the T-I+,Metro Plan Diagram will be <br />biftircated. The area shown east of Interstate 5 will represents the land use needs and supporting <br />facilities necessary to serve Springfield's future population. The area shown west of Interstate 5 <br />within the UGB will represent the land use needs and supporting facilities necessary to serve <br />Eugene's future population. <br />. Until both cities, with co-adoption by Lane <br />Countv. have taken action to establish their indebendent UGBs and land subblies. the Metro Plan <br />Diagram will serve different purposes for the two cities.! <br />Finally, the Metro Plan Diagram is drawn at a metropolitan scale, necessitating supplementary <br />planning on a local level. The original Metro Plan Diagram adopted in the 1982 Metro Plan and <br />subsequently amended was not tax lot-specific, although exception areas were site specific, with <br />exact designation boundaries shown in supporting working papers. The use of the Regional <br />Land Information Database (RLID) data for long-range planning studies led to the decision to <br />base the Metro Plan Diagram on RLID data, as described below. The Metro Plan Diagram and <br />text provide the overall framework within which more detailed planning occurs on the local <br />level. <br />In practice, the Metro Plan amendment process described in Chapter IV4 fee ffals etAN,eel the <br />thr-° will also aetetin ° ensure that issues of metropolitan significance are addressed <br />cooperatively by all three jurisdictions basis. <br />a As part of the adoption of the City of Springfield's city-specific UGB (through Springfield Ordinance No. 6268 <br />and Lane County Ordinance No. PA 1274 in 2011, the Metro Plan Diaizram was amended so that the area west of <br />Interstate 5 is no Ionizer included in Springfield's UGB. <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 610 <br />
