A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and <br />efficient manner. <br />b. There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban services and facilities. Conversion <br />of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the Metro Plan. <br /> <br />Response: The proposed annexation complies with Metro Plan Growth Management Policy 8 as the subject properties can be <br />served by more than a minimum level of key urban services immediately upon approval of annexation and in an orderly and <br />efficient manner as this area is already highly urbanized. Urbanization of the subject properties is congruent with the intention <br />of their designation on the Metro Plan. The proposed annexation complies with Policy 8. <br /> <br />Policy 10: Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the highest priority. <br /> <br />Response: The applicant is utilizing the City of Eugene’s codified annexation application process to annex the subject <br />properties into the City of Eugene’s city limits. The proposed annexation complies with Policy 10. <br /> <br />Policy 15: Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with the required minimum level of <br />urban facilities and services. While the time frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land <br />transitions from urbanizable to urban. <br /> <br />Response: The subject properties are located within the City of Eugene’s UGB. The full range of urban facilities and services <br />are existing in this area of Coburg Road as many nearby and/or adjacent properties have already transitioned from <br />urbanizable to urban, having been previously annexed into the city’s jurisdiction. The proposed annexation of the subject <br />properties complies with Policy 15.
