I controlling densities through provision of the Zoning <br />2 and Subdivision Ordinances, thereby preventing the <br />3 need for overly extensive public services and <br />4 restricting urbanization to that commensurate with the <br />5 carry capacity of the land. <br />6 "Policy 17: The City shall promote the efficient use <br />7 of land within the urban growth boundary and <br />8 sequential development that expands in an orderly <br />9 way outward from the existing city center. <br />10 "Policy 19: The City shall accommodate projected <br />11 growth, expand the urban growth boundary in a <br />12 manner that balances the need to protect high quality <br />13 farm and forest resource lands with the needs of the <br />14 existing and future population and with efficient <br />15 public facility and service delivery. <br />16 2010 Coburg Urbanization Study pg 172 <br />17 "These policies, emphasizing orderly and efficient growth argued <br />18 against considering exception land to meet a residential need that <br />19 was more than twice as far from the city center than any current <br />20 residential land. To consider this land as `needed residential land' <br />21 the City would have to pass over land that was already partially <br />22 within the UGB and was surrounded on three sides by the existing <br />23 city. The City determined that to consider such land needed would <br />24 be contrary to the city policies. Based on that analysis, the City <br />25 adopted and applied a local criteria in considering need: <br />26 `Expansion should be limited to areas and tax lots that would <br />27 promote sequential development that expands in an orderly way <br />28 outward from the existing city center, and promote a street <br />29 network that expands in an orderly way outward from the existing <br />30 city center, and promote a street network that is interconnected in <br />31 order to promote connectivity and community interaction.' 2010 <br />32 Coburg Urbanization Study pg 173. This criteri[on] rules out the <br />33 most distant portions of Stallings Lane because it did not fit the <br />34 local criteria of needed land."
