In petitioners' application, the area of this <br />2 triangle is referred to as tax lot 703, and the application proposes to locate <br />3 multi-family development within the triangle. <br />4 B. The 2004 Metro Plan Diagram <br />5 The overarching comprehensive plan land use map for the city is the <br />6 Eugene Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Diagram (Metro Plan <br />7 Diagram), first adopted in 1980, and amended in 1987 and 2004. As explained <br />8 more fully below, the city has adopted refinement plans for some areas of the <br />9 city that can include more detailed maps and policies that refine the plan <br />10 designations and policies set out in the more general Metro Plan. However, the <br />11 Metro Plan at I-5 provides that refinement plans must be consistent with the <br />12 Metro Plan and "[s]hould inconsistencies occur, the Metro Plan is the <br />13 prevailing policy document." All or part of the subject property, as presently <br />14 configured, is included within a refinement plan area known as the Laurel Hill <br />15 Refinement Plan, which includes a land use designation snap. One of the key <br />16 issues in this appeal is whether the Laurel Hill Refinement Plan map is <br />17 inconsistent with the 2004 Metro Plan Diagram. <br />18 The 2004 Metro Plan Diagram is a small scale map that covers all of <br />19 Eugene and Springfield, and part of Lane County. The scale of the 11 inch by <br />20 17 inch map is approximately one inch equals 7,000 feet. The 2004 Metro Plan <br />21 Diagram and its predecessors do not depict specific tax lots or lots and parcels, <br />22 and the only land features depicted are major roads, rivers and railways. In the <br />23 1980 and 1987 versions, different plan designations are indicated by various <br />24 "blobs" of color that were hand drawn on the map. Some plan designations <br />25 were simply blobs of color surrounded by other blobs of color, without much in <br />26 the way of referents. Sometimes the edges between two plan designations <br />Page 5 <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 1043 <br />
