To develop a citizen involvement program that <br />insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. <br />The City’s and County’s acknowledged procedures for adoption of legislative land use decisions, located <br />in sections 9.7700 through 9.7735 (Metro Plan Amendment Procedures) of the Eugene Code, 1971, and <br />sections 12.300.005 through 12.300.035 (Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Element) <br />of the Lane County Code, ensure the opportunity for community members to be involved in all phases of <br />the legislative land use decision process and set out the requirements for such involvement. <br />These Metro Plan amendments do not amend or affect either jurisdiction’s state acknowledged citizen <br />involvement program.

The public <br />engagement actions for the neighborhood planning work were completed consistently with the City’s <br />and County’s acknowledged citizen involvement programs and went beyond the requirements of those <br />programs to ensure that citizens had opportunities to be involved in the process.
