Urban expansion within the UGB is accomplished through in-fill, redevelopment, and <br />annexation of territory which can be served with a minimum level of key urban services <br />and facilities. This permits new development to use existing facilities and services, or <br />those which can be easily extended, minimizing the public cost of extending urban <br />facilities and services. <br />2. In accordance with Statewide Planning Goal 11 and OAR 660, the Public Facilities and <br />Services Plan identifies jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of water, <br />wastewater and stormwater, describes respective service areas and existing and planned <br />water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities, and contains planned facilities maps for <br />these services. Electric system information and improvements are included in the Public <br />Facilities and Services Plan, although not required by state law. Local facility master <br />plans and refinement plans provide more specific project information. <br />Urban services within the metropolitan UGB are provided by the City of Eugene, the City <br />of Springfield, Lane County, EWEB, SUB, the MWMC, electric cooperatives, and <br />special service districts. <br />4. The Public Facilities and Services Plan finds that almost all areas within the city limits <br />of Eugene and Springfield are served or can be served in the short-term (0-5 years) with <br />water, wastewater, stormwater, and electric service. Exceptions to this are stormwater <br />service to portions of the Willow Creek area and southeast Springfield and full water <br />service at some higher elevations in Eugene's South Hills. Service to these areas will be <br />available in the long-term. Service to all areas within city limits are either in a capital <br />improvement plan or can be extended with development. <br />III-G-3 <br />128 l Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 449 <br />
