The provisions of all services shall be concentrated inside the <br />UGB. <br />Findings: The parcels affected by this application are currently within the ' <br />Eugene portion of the Metropolitan Urban Growth Boundary and were <br />incorporated into the City of Eugene. The recent annexation of the subject <br />site was made in compliance with an acknowledged comprehensive plan and <br />implementing ordinances, and with the established availability of urban <br />facilities and services. As annexed land, the subject site provides for compact <br />urban growth with essential services available for development. <br />The Metro Plan defines compact growth as "The filling in of vacant and <br />underutilized lands in the UGB, as well as redevelopment inside the UGB." <br />This application will allow compact urban growth to occur on lands that are' <br />currently within the UGB and underutilized for a residential area in such a <br />manner that is consistent with Metro Plan. The development of the site will <br />provide adequate housing opportunities for mean income levels in the <br />neighborhood. <br />[POLICY 10) Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be <br />the highest priority. <br />[POLICY 16) Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and <br />provided with the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. <br />While the time frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as <br />land transitions from urbanizable to urban. <br />Findings: The development property, contiguous to the Urban Growth <br />Boundary, has been annexed to the City of Eugene on April 8th of 2013 prior <br />to this Willamette Greenway submittal as indicated above and thusly <br />complies with these policies. <br />METRO PLAN - SPECIFIC ELEMENTS: (A) RESIDENTIAL LAND USE AND HOUSING ELEMENT <br />(Policy A.17) Provide opportunities for a full range of choice in housing type, <br />density, size, cost, and location. <br />• (Policy A.20) Encourage home ownership of all housing types, particularly for <br />low-income households. <br />Willamette Greenway -June 14, 2013 Page 6 of 20 Oakleigh Cohousing WG 13-0001 <br />1341 <br />
