Eugene Ordinance Exhibit J <br />[Lane County Ordinance Exhibit G] <br />Findings for Ordinance Establishing Sufficiency of Eugene UGB for <br />Purposes of Employment, Park and School Land <br />The findings, below, present State criteria first, then local government criteria. The State criteria are <br />presented in order of the Statewide Planning Goals. State statutes and administrative rules are <br />addressed under the Statewide Planning Goal to which they relate. <br />Statewide Planning Goal 1- Citizen Involvement <br />Statewide Planning Goal 1-- "To develop a citizen involvement program that <br />insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning <br />process." <br />The action taken by this ordinance do not amend or affect either jurisdiction's state acknowledged <br />citizen involvement program. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 1 does not directly apply to the City <br />and County actions. <br />The City's and County's citizen involvement programs were adopted into the Eugene Code, and into the <br />County's Code for the Eugene urban transition area. They include a formal land use review procedure <br />with public notification, meetings and hearings. The public engagement actions for the Envision Eugene <br />work were completed consistently with the acknowledged citizen involvement programs and went far <br />beyond the requirements of those programs to ensure that citizens had opportunities to be involved in <br />the process. The "Envision Eugene Public Engagement" document, included in the record, summarizes <br />the Envision Eugene public engagement efforts used to educate the public and obtain feedback on the <br />20-year growth planning efforts, from the visioning process to the now proposed urban growth <br />boundary (UGB) adoption package. <br />Statewide Planning Goal 2 - Land Use Planning <br />Statewide Planning Goal2 "To establish a land use planning process and <br />policy framework as a basis for all decision and actions related to use of land <br />and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions." <br />The Eugene and Lane County land use codes specify the procedures and criteria that were used in <br />considering these amendments. The findings documents show that the record includes an adequate <br />factual base for the amendments. The record shows the City studied its residents' 20-year needs for <br />employment, parks and schools, compiled an inventory of lands and other factual information related to <br />Goals 9 and 14, evaluated alternative courses of actions and made ultimate policy choices based on the <br />criteria addressed in more detail throughout these findings. <br />May 2017 <br />
