Attachment B <br />Exhibit B <br />Chapter III G. Public Facilities and Services Element <br />G.9 Wastewater conveyance and treatment shall be provided to meet the needs of projected growth <br />inside the UGB that are capable of complying with regulatory requirements. <br />Chapter II Section F of the Metro Plan includes policies related to providing wastewater in the River <br />Road and Santa Clara areas. Removing these policies will have no impact on the provision of wastewater <br />service to the area. This section of the Metro Plan is no longer necessary because wastewater <br />infrastructure in the area has been built and service was extended to developed properties to address <br />the groundwater pollution problem that was present at the time this Metro Plan text was originally <br />adopted. <br />Citv of Euaene Criteria <br />EC 9.7735 Metro Plan Amendments — Criteria for Approval. <br />(3) When the city -specific local comprehensive plan also applies, the proposed amendment is <br />consistent with the city -specific local comprehensive plan. <br />The City Council finds that the Metro Plan amendments are consistent with the Eugene -specific local <br />comprehensive plan, the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan (Envision Eugene). The currently adopted <br />chapters of the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan include Economic Development, Transportation, <br />Administration & Implementation, and Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. The Neighborhood Plan's <br />economic development policies are consistent with those in Envision Eugene, such as the promotion of <br />locally -owned businesses, capitalizing on Eugene's economic advantages, and employment growth. <br />As discussed in Statewide Planning Goals 11 and 12 above, the Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan <br />(TSP) is the transportation element of Eugene's comprehensive land use plan. The Neighborhood Plan is <br />consistent with and aligns with policies in the TSP, especially those related to walkable neighborhoods <br />and compact development. For example, one of the TSP system -wide policies is to "Foster <br />neighborhoods where Eugene residents could meet most of their basic daily needs without an <br />automobile by providing streets, sidewalks, bikeways, and access to transit in an inviting environment <br />where all travelers feel safe and secure" and one of the transit policies aims to "Prioritize improved <br />transit service in Key Corridors and other areas with sufficient employment, activities, or residential <br />density that best support transit service and transit services that connect residents to employment <br />centers. If operational funding is sufficient, extend transit to support higher density housing and <br />employment development planned for other areas." <br />The Neighborhood Plan does not affect the maintenance or updating of the comprehensive plan, any <br />related monitoring efforts, or the Eugene urban growth boundary. Therefore, these amendments are <br />consistent with the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan. <br />{00460822;1} 17 <br />CC Agenda Page 64 March 12, 2024 JEO Public Hearing- Item 1 <br />
