That would be land inside the City limits at that time. Second, at some later date, between <br />adoption of the urban growth boundary in 1980 and the City acquiring jurisdiction over the UGB land in <br />1987, the SHS was affirmatively extended to include the subject property. Third, after May 8, 1987, <br />when Lane County transferred land use responsibilities to the City for the area within the urbanizable <br />portion of the urban growth boundary, the County acted at the request of the City to adopt the SHS and <br />make it applicable to the subject property. <br />As best the applicant can determine, none of these three situations applies to the subject property, as <br />discussed further below. If the City believes that the SHS applies to the subject property, the applicant <br />requests that the City provide for the record the documentation described above, or some other basis <br />establishing the SHS as law that applies to the subject property. In the sections below we elaborate on <br />the three points made above. <br />1. The subject property was not in the City at the time the SHS was effective on June 10, 1974. <br />City records show that Tax Lot 300 was annexed in 1981. Tax Lots 200 and 400 were annexed in <br />1982. Tax Lots 100 and 201 were annexed in 2014. The SHS was effective on June 10, 1974, <br />via Resolution No. 2295. <br />At the time the SHS was adopted in 1974, there was no urban growth boundary. The City at that <br />time had no lawful basis to regulate land that was outside the City limits. The applicant is <br />unaware of any independent contemporaneous County adoption of the SHS as being applicable <br />to any land that was outside the City limits. Thus, at the time the City adopted the SHS in 1974, it <br />applied only to the land inside the then city limits, and thus it did not apply to the subject property. <br />In the two parts below we examine whether the footprint of the SHS was extended to include the <br />subject property at any later date. <br />2. The SHS was not extended to the UGB between the time the first UBG was established in <br />1980 and the time that the City acquired jurisdiction over the UGB land in 1987. <br />The Preface to the Metro Plan explains the history of the adoption and acknowledgment of the <br />plan. The Metro Plan was initially adopted by the three local governments in 1980 and submitted <br />for acknowledgment. The initial plan included an Urban Growth Boundary that encompassed the <br />subject property. Some changes to the plan were required by the State, and those changes were <br />made in 1982. The final version of the plan that applied to all lands inside the UGB was <br />acknowledged on August 23, 1982. <br />The Metro Plan as initially acknowledged ratified the continued existence of area refinement <br />plans, including the SHS, but the plan did not extend the footprint of the plan to land that was <br />outside the City but inside the UGB. See Metro Plan (August 1980) at 1-5 ("Refinement plans and <br />policies adopted subsequent to the 1990 General Plan remain in effect where they do not conflict <br />with the updated Metropolitan General Plan.') The Metro Plan did not extent the footprint of the <br />SHS to land that was outside the City in 1980 but inside the initial UGB. <br />The 1980 Metro Plan maintained the jurisdictional bright line between the City and the County at <br />the city limits. The 1980 Metro Plan explained at page IV-3. "The Cities of Eugene and Springfield <br />have responsibility for all areas within their city limits. " <br />Thus, from 1980 to 1987 the land in the UGB was subject to county land use jurisdiction. The <br />County itself could have applied SHS inventories and maps and policies to the UGB area during <br />this period. However, the applicant is not aware of any County ordinance that did that. <br />Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 m Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 <br />
