The second paragraph makes sense; staff seems willing to stack the plans. <br />Staff says: “Since the two plans serve different purposes, this option appears to be technically <br />viable as well.” Great idea. <br />The third paragraph suggests high-grading stuff from the existing plan and pulling it into the <br />new plan. Staff don’t like this option. Agreed; it would be a nightmare. <br /> <br />4.e. Will there be a parcel-specific diagram for outside the City/inside the UGB? <br />Correct; a parcel-specific Metro Plan Diagram will cover all the area inside the UGB hula hoop. <br />At that point Eugene will have caught up with all the other Cities and Counties in Oregon; <br />only Eugene citizens enjoy the sport of “What’s My Plan Designation?” Having to play that <br />game causes delay, wastes public and private money on over-worked lawyers, and delays <br />providing housing (and everything else). <br /> <br />4.f. Without a more focused land sue diagram, won’t there be less direction and certainty for <br />property owners and businesses? <br />Staff say “it depends.” The correct answer is “certainly.” <br />Staff note that neither the RRSC nor the Metro Plan Diagram is fully parcel specific; that is <br />misleading; the RRSC Diagram is much more specific than the Metro Diagram; that is why <br />decisions still look to the RRSC plan Diagram to make the final determination. <br />Staff say the RRSC plan Diagram has been incorporated into the Metro Plan Diagram. <br />However, the Metro Plan says that its Diagram is not parcel specific on the boundary line of <br />two plan designations; that is where the questions always arise. <br />If you absorb a more specific plan diagram into a less specific plan diagram, and then dispose <br />of the former, you have officially dumbed down the plan diagram available for use. <br />Note that the Table of RRSC land use decisions submitted by Bishow Consulting shows that <br />the RRSC Diagram continues to be relied upon to make the final determination on plan <br />designations when that needs to be done, even after 2004. <br /> <br />Bill Kloos <br />Law Office of Bill Kloos PC <br />375 W. 4th Ave., Suite 204 <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />Phone: 541-954-1260 <br />Email: Bill Kloos@LandUseOregon.com <br />Web: www.LandUseOregon.com <br /> <br />CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The information contained in this email communication may <br />contain confidential information that is legally privileged.
