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 property 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 residentially zoned subject property is congruent <br />with the intention of the Metro Plan’s residential designation. 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 River Road as many nearby and/or adjacent properties have already transitioned from urbanizable <br />to urban, having been previously annexed into the city’s jurisdiction. The proposed annexation of the subject property <br />complies with Policy 15. <br /> <br />Policy A.2 Residentially designated land within the UGB should be zoned consistent with the Metro Plan, and <br />applicable plans and policies; however, existing agricultural zoning may be continued within the area between the <br />city limits and UGB until rezoned for urban uses. <br /> <br />Response: The Metro Plan Diagram indicates that Tax Lot 200 is designated for Low-Density Residential (LD) development. <br />Tax Lot 200 is currently zoned City of Eugene R-1 with an Urbanizable Land (/UL) Zone Overlay. Upon approval of the <br />proposed annexation by the City Council, the property will remain R-1 consistent with its Metro Plan designation and the /UL <br />Overlay will automatically cease to apply. The proposed annexation is in compliance with Policy A.2. <br /> <br />
