Employment, Parks, Schools Ordinance (City)- Planning Commission Recommendation (4 of 4)

Eugene Ordinance Exhibit J [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit G] (c) Maximum efficiency of land uses within a proposed urban growth boundary requires inclusion of lower priority lands in order to include or to provide services to higher priority lands. The City of Eugene does not rely on ORS 197.298(3)(c) in its analysis of land in its study area. The City does not find that any lower priority lands are needed in the UGB "in order to include or to provide services to higher priority lands." OAR 660 / Division 24 / Urban Growth Boundaries 660-024-0020 Adoption or Amendment of a UGB (1) All statewide goals and related administrative rules are applicable when establishing or amending a UGB, except as follows: (a) The exceptions process in Goal 2 and OAR chapter 660, division 4, is not applicable unless a local government chooses to take an exception to a particular goal requirement, for example, as provided in OAR 660-004-0010(1); (b) Goals 3 and 4 are not applicable; (c) Goal 5 and related rules under OAR chapter 660, division 23, apply only in areas added to the UGB, except as required under OAR 660-023-0070 and 660-023-0250; (d) The transportation planning rule requirements under OAR 660-012-0060 need not be applied to a UGB amendment if the land added to the UGB is zoned as urbanizable land, either by retaining the zoning that was assigned prior to inclusion in the boundary or by assigning interim zoning that does not allow development that would generate more vehicle trips than development allowed by the zoning assigned prior to inclusion in the boundary; (e) Goal 15 is not applicable to land added to the UGB unless the land is within the Willamette River Greenway Boundary; (f) Goals 16 to 18 are not applicable to land added to the UGB unless the land is within a coastal shorelands boundary; (g) Goal 19 is not applicable to a UGB amendment. See findings addressing Goals 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. (2) The UGB and amendments to the UGB must be shown on the city and county plan and zone maps at a scale sufficient to determine which particular lots or parcels are included in the UGB. Where a UGB does not follow lot or parcel lines, the map must provide sufficient information to determine the precise UGB location. Actions taken by this ordinance result in a precisely-defined Eugene UGB that will allow interested parties to determine, with certainty, whether a tax lot or part of a tax lot is included within the UGB. To make the UGB's location most useful, the City and County are adopting it in an electronic format (a shapefile) as Appendix A to the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan. See Policy 11.1 of the EECP and Exhibit B-2 to the ordinance. The adopted UGB file will be saved, unchanged unless/until the UGB is formally amended in the future. In the meantime, the UGB file can be made available to anyone wishing to use it as a GIS layer. This is intended to eliminate the difficulties that Eugene has encountered with the limitations of a paper map. 47 May 2017
