' Background: Metro Plan-PFSP-Local Facilities Plan Context Oregon state land use law (Goal 11, OAR 660-011) requires all cities with a population over 2,500 to develop and adopt a public facilities plan for the area within the city's urban growth boundary. The public facilities plan is a support document or documents to a comprehensive plan. Certain elements of the public facility plan also shall be adopted as part of the comprehensive plan; these elements include a list of public facility project titles, (excluding the descriptions or specifications of those projects if so desired by the jurisdiction); a map or written description of the public facility projects' locations or service areas; and the policies or urban growth m~ement agreement designating the provider of each public facility system. (OAR 660-011-0045) In 2001 the governing bodies of Eugene, Springfield and Lane County repealed the 1987 Public Facilities and Services Plan and replaced it with the Eugene.,Snringfield Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan. Dece~ber 2001 (subtitled: A Refinement Plan of the Eugene-S~riIie:field Metropolitan Area General Plan. ). One of the results of this action is described in the PFSP as follows: "Chapter II of this plan recommends text amendments to the Metro ,Plan which are adopted as part of, and are incorporate~ into, the Metro Plan. The project lists and maps in Chapter II are also adopted as part of the Metro Plan but are physically located in this refinement plan. If there are any inconsistencies between this plan and the Metro Plan, the Metro Plan prevails." (page'l, Introduction, PFSP) This text confirms that the PFSP is a refinement plan of the Metro Plan; that both the PFSP and the Metro Plan "co-adopted" the project lists, maps and policies as required by Staff Report and Findings Page 1 ATTACHMENT 5 - 1 . . , EXHIBIT 0 - P2 -2- OAR 660-011-0045; that the project lists and maps do not physically appear in the published Metro Plan but instead are to be found in the PFSP; and that amendment of the project list, maps or policies, because they are co-adopted into both the Metro Plan and P FSP, require identical amendment to both those documents if changes are made. In February 2004 the City of Springfield, on behalf of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission, initiated amendments to the Metro Plan and P FSP project lists, maps and policies. These amendments were adopted by the governing bodies in July 2004, but were appealed to the state Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). LUBA remanded some of these amendments (project lists) which were subsequently changed accordingly by the elected officials' of Eugene, Springfield and Lane County and again adopted as amendments to the Metro Plan and the PFSP in November and December, 2006. On Aprll21, 2008 the Springfield City Council, on behalf of the Public Works . Department of the City of Springfield, initiated amendments to the Metro Plan and P FSP to incorporate specific recommendations found in the City efSpringfield's draft Wastewater Master Plan - February 2008. (Attachment #2) This plan recommends the addition or modification of 9 projects and the removal of 4 projects that have been completed or are no longer necessary. All of these projects are part of the City's collection system (not MWMC projects) and serve only the residents and businesses of the City of Springfield. Notwithstanding the single jurisdiction service purpose of these new projects, the Metro Plan (page V-4, Public facility projects: (b) Wastewater) requires all pump stations, and all wastewater lines 24 inches or larger, to be identified in the project lists and maps. Because the Metro Plan ''prevails'' if there are any inconsistencies between the Metro Plan and the,PFSP, the PFSP project lists and maps also must show all pump stations and wastewater lines 24 inches or larger. Wastewater MaSter Plan - 2008 The City's Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) is a citywide public infrastructure plan that evaluates existing and future demand on the wastewater collection system (based on projected population and employment growth through the year 2025) and makes recommendations for system improvements (capacity and efficiency). The WWMP was initiated by Council to update the 1980 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, and to assist in the implementation of the Metropolitan Wet Weather Flow Management plan, adopted by the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission. The City's WWMP is not a substitute for the wastewater systems planning that appears in Chapter ill of the Metro Plan or throughout the PFSP; Oregon Administrative Rule 660- 011-0010 identifies the constituent components of public facility plans including how these state requirements relate to other public facilities plcinning that may be prepared by cities and authorized service providers: "(3) It is not the purpose oftbis division to cause duplication of or to supplant existing applicable facility plans and programs. Where all or part of an acknowledged / Staff Report and Findings Page 2 ATTACHMENT 5 - 2 EXHIBIT D - P3 -3- comprehensive plan, facility master plan either of the local jurisdiction or appropriate special district, capital improvement program, regional functional plan, similar plan or any combination of such plans meets all or some of the requirements of this division, those plans, or programs may be incorporated by reference into the public facility plan required by this division. Only those referenced portions of such documents shall be considered to be a part of the public facility plan and shall be subject to the administrative procedures of this divisions and ORS Chapter 197." Taken in its entirety, this rule provision is intended to allow cities to adopt existing public facilities documents, rather than prepare new ones, where those documents satisfy the standards of OAR 660-011. This rule provision does not invalidate other elements of these local planning efforts that do not address provisions of the rule; it simply qualifies those elements of local planning documents that can be used to meet this rule-and in so doing, obligates such elements to the requirements of ORS 197 (goals compliance; post- acknowledgment plan amendment procedures). The City is not proposing to reference any elements of the WWMP as provided in OAR 660-011-0010, but does contend that the development and application of the WWMP is conSistent with the following Metro Plan policy: "G.2 Use the planned facilities maps of the Public Facilities and Services Plan for water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical projects in the metropolitan area Use local facility master plans, refinement plans, and ordinances as the guide for detailed planning and project implementation." [Emphasis added] The WWMP recommends a variety of projects and programs to achieve the stated goal of the plan: ''Identify existing and future capacity constraints, determine capacity requirements and identify system improvements necessary to meet the city of ' Springfield's projected population and employment growth through the (2025) planning year." The following project recommendations need to be included in the lists and maps in the Metro Plan and P FSP: ' For inclusion in Table 4: Proj ect # 104 - Jasper Road sewer extension System extension in the general vicinity of Jasper Road to collect flow from future development I the Jasper-Natron area Project #105 -10th and N Street Upgrade Construct parallel 24 inch pipe to increase capacity of existing system to accommodate wet weather flows Project #106 - E Street (Central Trunk) upgrade Construct 24 inch pipe to increase capacity of existing system to accommodate wet weather flows Project #107- Main Street sewer upgrade #1 Staff Report and Findings Page 3 ATTACHMENT 5 - 3 EXHIBIT D - P4 -4- Construct 24 inch pipe to increase capacity of existing system to accommodate wet weather flows' Project #108 - Nugget Way pump station upgrade Increase pump ~on capacity to accommodate wet weather flows with the largest pump out of service Project #109 - Hayden Lo pump station upgrade Increase pump station capacity to accommodate wet weather flows with the largest pump out of service Project #110 - River Glen pump station upgrade , Increase pump station capacity to accommodate wet weather flows with the largest pump out of service Project #202 - Harbor Drive pump station New pump station to collect flow from future development in the viciriity of the South 2nd Street area , Project #203 - PeaceHealth pump station New pump station to collect flow from future development in the vicinity of Deadmond Ferry Road and Baldy View Drive For deletion from Table 4: Project #105 - Game Farm Road trunk sewer Project #106 - Gateway/Harlow Road pump station upgrade Project #202 - East Glenwood gravity sewer Project #203 - 19th Street pump station NOTE: Table 16 contains the same projects found in Table 4 proposed for inclusion or deletion; in addition Table 16 provides cost estimates and completion year estimates for each project. Please refer to Attachments #4, #5, and #6. , Metropolitan Area General Plan Amendment Criteria The proposed amendments are considered to be Type IT Metro Plan amendments because they are site specific amendments to Plan project lists and maps: Type II Metro Plan amendments inside the city limits shall be approved by the Home City; Type II Metro Plan amendments between the city limits and the Plan Boundary shall be approved by the Home City and Lane County. At least three of the pump stations are outside the city limits therefore Lane County must co-adopt these amendments. ' Staff Report and Findings Page 4 ATTACHMENT 5 - 4 " , . EXHIBIT D - P5 -5- Springfield and Lane County adopted identical Metro Plan amendment criteria into their respective implementing ordinances and codes. Springfield Development Code (SDC) , Chapter 5, Section 5.14-135(C) (1 & 2) and Lane Code 12.225(2) (a & b) require that the amendment be consistent with relevant statewide planning goals and that the amendment not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. These criteria are addressed as follows: (a) The amendment must be consistent with the relevant statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission; Goal 1- Citizen Involvement To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The two cities and the county have acknowledged land use codes that are intended to serve as the principal implementing ordinances for the Metro Plan. Chapter 5 of the SDC, Metro Plan Amendments; Public Hearings, prescribe the manner in which a Type II Metro Plan amendment must be noticed. Citizen involvement for a Type II Metro Plan amendment not related to an urban growth boundary amendment requires: Notice to interested parties; notice to properties and property owners' within 300 feet of the proposal; published notice in a newspaper of general circulation; and notice to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) at least 45 days before the initial evidentiary hearing (planning commission). Notice of the joint planning commission hearing was mailed on April 18, 2008; notice was published in the Register-Guard on Apri124, 2008. Neighborhood Associations, if any, were mailed notice on April 18, 2008. Notice of the :first evidentiary hearing was provided to DLCD on March 4, 2008. Lane County is participating in this matter; Eugene was sent a referral on February 20, 2008. , Springfield's Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCl) met on March 4,2008 to ' discuss citizen involvement opportunities. A public workshop, website posting, two public hearings (planning Commission, City Council) and mailed notice to neighborhood associations, local engineering firms, developers and other stakeholders were approved by the CCI. Requirements under Goal 1 are met by adherence to the citizen involvement processes required by the Metro Plan and implemented by the Springfield Development Code, Chapter 5 and Lane Code Sections 12.025 and 12.240. Goal 2 - Land Use Planning To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to use of I and and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. Staff Report and Findings Page 5 ATTACHMENT 5 - 5 EXHIB.IT 0 - P6 -6- All land-use plans and implementation ordinances shall be adopted by the , governing body after public hearing and shall be reviewed and, as needed, revised on a periodic cycle to take into account changing public policies and circumstances, in accord with a schedule set forth in the plan. Opportunities shall be provided for review and comment by citizens and afficted governmental units during preparation, review and revision of plans and implementation ordinances. Implementation Measures - are the means used to carry out the plan. Theseare of two general types: (1) management implementation measures such as ordinances, regulations or project plans, and (2) site or area specific implementation measures such as permits and grants for construction, construction of public facilities or provision of services. The current version of the Metro Plan was last adopted in 2004 (Springfield (Ordinance No. 6087; Eugene Ordinance No. 20319; and Lane County Ordinance No. 1197) after numerous public meetings, public workshops and joint hearings of the Springfield, Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions and Elected Officials. ' Subsequent to these Metro Plan adoption proceedings, Eugene, Springfield and Lane County considered amendments to Chapter III-G Public Facilities and Services Element and Chapter V Glossary of the Metro Plan; and amendments to the Public Facilities and Services Plan by adding new tables (4a; 4b; 16a) and a new map (2a) identifying wastewater treatment facilities and conveyance systems ' in Chapter IT; amended Chapter N wastewater system condition assessment; and added a new Chapter VI Amendments. These amendments were also reviewed at public meetings, public workshops and joint hearings of the Spoogfield, Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions and Elected Officials. These amendments were appealed to LUBA and subsequently some (project list) were remanded to the elected officials for additional clarification and description of projects' associated with the wastewater treatment facility expansion. The elected officials adopted these remanded amendments in 2006. :The Metro Plan is the "land use" or comprehensive plan required by this goal; the Springfield Development Code and the Lane Code are the "implementation measures" required by this goal. Comprehensive plans, as defined by ORB 197.015(5), must be coordinated wi~ affected governmental units. Coordination, means that comments from affected governmental units are solicited and considered. Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. Staff Report and Findings Page 6 ATTACHMENT 5 - 6 . \ EXHIBIT D - P7 , -7- The changes do not affect Metro Plan or P FSP consistency with this goal and it does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. None of the proposed projects are intended to provide wastewater service outside the UGB; the projects were recommended in the Wastewater Master Plan to "meet the city of Springfield's projected population and employment growth thrOugh the (2025) pla.I}Ding year." Goal 4 - Forest Lands To conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to prot~ct the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air, water, . and fish and wildlift resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. None of the proposed projects are intended to provide wastewater service outside the UGB; the projects were recommended in the Wastewater Master Plan to "meet the city of Springfield's projected population and employment growth through the (2025) planning year." Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources To protect natural resources and conserve scenic and historic areas and open spaces. The City has finished all work required under Goal 5 during the most recent, Periodic Review (completed in 2007). None of the proposed project additions are located within any of the City's protected Goal 5 resource sites; none of the proposed projects were designed or intended to allow development to occur within a protected resource site; the presence of urban services does not invalidate Goal 5 inventories or protection measures even if the new urban service becomes available to any of these sites; these Goal 5 sites were identified and protected because they qualified under city or state laws, not because of a lack of available services. The changes do not affect acknowledged Goal 5 inventories so this proposal does not create an inconsistency with the goal. Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. This goal is primarily concerned with compliance with federal and state environmental quality statutes, and how this compliance is achieved as development proceeds in relationship to air sheds, river basins and land resources. Staff Report and Findings Page 7 ATTACHMENT 5 - 7 EXHIBIT D - P8 -8- > The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, P.L. 92-500, as amended in 1977, became known as the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C..1251 et seq.). The goal of this Act was to eliminate the discharge of pollutants into the navigable Waters. ORS 468B.035 requires the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) to implement the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The,primary method of implementation of this Act is through the issuance of aN ational Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit prior to the discharge of an)t wastes into the waters of the state. (ORS 468B.050) Among the ''pollutants'' regulated by the EQC are temperature (OAR 340-041-0028) and toxic substances (OAR 340-041-0033). Previously, the Plan was amended to ensure that the Metro Plan and the P FSP accurately reflect regional wastewater system needs as imposed by Federal and State regulation. Currently, the P FSP states that " . .. the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant has sufficient design capacity to accommodate population increases and serve' all new development at buildout." This amendment takes the next step in bringing the plan current by incorporating those local facilities in Springfield which are required to adequately and efficiently convey sewage to the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plan for treatment. The proposed amendment is based on the most current draft of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan now under preparation for the City. That Plan is anticipated to be adopted by the City of Springfield in mid-2008. Until that time, it is possible that the list of projects may be amended and, accordingly that the current drafts of the proposed map and table ~endments will be further modified to conform to the provisions of the adopted Master Plan Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards To protect people and property from natural hazards. The Metro Plan and the City's development code are acknowledged to be in compliance with all applicable statewide land use goals, including Goal 7. The proposed projects are not located within hazard areas nor does their presence have any affect o~ existing policies or procedures adopted by the City of Springfield and applicable in hazard areas. This Goal is unaffected by the presence or absence of urban services to natural hazard areas. GoalS - Recreational Needs To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreationalfaciliti,es including destination resorts. All of the proposed projects are intended to accommodate future growth in population and employment. What is meant, but not stated in this general,concept of "future growth in population and employment" is that it includes ancillary activities as well. The Metro Plan anticipates up to 32% of residential Staff Report and Findings Page 8 ATTACHMENT 5 - 8 , , . . EXHIBIT 0 - pg -9- designation will be occupied by these ancillary activities: ''In the aggregate, ,non- residential land uses consume approximately 32 percent of buildable residential land.. These non-residen1:?-al useS include churches, day care centers, parks, streets, schools, and neighborhood commercial." (page ill-A-4, Metro Plan) Determination of pipe sizes and pump capacity includes the presence of these land uses and in any case, the Willamalane Park and Recreation Master Plan includes future park sites needed to keep pace with residential growth. Goal 9 - Economic DeveIop~ent To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. The Metro Plan cites the provision of adequate public facilities and services as necessary for economic development. Objective 10, at page ill-B-4 states: Provide the necessary public facilities and services to allow economic development Policy B25, at Page ill-B-6, states: Pursue an aggressive annexation program and servicing of designated industria1lands in order to have a sufficient supply of "development ready" land. Policy B26, at page ill-B-6, states: In order to provide locational choice and to attract new campus industrial firms to the metropolitan area, Eugene and Springfield shall place as a high priority service extension, annexation, and proper zoning of all designated special light industrial sites. All of these policies are served by the proposed amendments to the Metro Plan and PFSP as these projects are intended to meet future demand generated by population and 'employment growth. Additionally, it is the provision of key urban services that typically determines suitability of land to be converted from rural to urban and to be annexed into the city limits: "Land within the UGB may be converted from urbanizable to urban only through annexation to a city when it is found that: a A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and efficient manner; b. There will be a logical area and time within which 190 deliver urban services and facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the Metro. Plan." (page ll-C-4, Metro Plan) Each of the pump stations is located in or near areas not yet annexed or developed with planned urban uses. These pump stations will allow wastewater extension to these lands so that planned development may occur. The Nugget Way ,and PeaceHealth pump stations in particular will facilitate commercial and industrial development by making available this mandatory urban service. . Goal 10 - Housing To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Goal 1 0 Planning Guideline 3 states that "[PJla:zs shouldprovidefor the appropriate type, location and phasing of pubic facilities and services sufficient to support housing developm,ent in areas presently developed or undergoing development or redevelopment. " Staff Report and Findings Page 9 ATTACHMENT 5 - 9 . . . EXHIBIT 0 - P10 -10 - OAR 660--008-{)0 1 0 requires that "[S]ufficient buildable land shall be designated on the comprehensive plan map to satisfy housing needs by type and density range as determined in the housing needs projection." Goal 10 defines buildable lands as ". . .lands in urban and urbanizable areas that are suitable, available and necessary for residential use." 660--008-{)005(13), in part, defines land that is "suitable and available" as land "for which public facilities are planned or to which public facilities can be made available." Similar to Goal 9, adequate public faciliti~s are ne~essary to accomplish the objectives of this goal and applicable administrative rules (OAR Chapter 660, Division 008). The purpose of the proposed amendments is to provide the capacity for future development (year 2025) of residential (population) and commercial and industrial (employment). use consistent with the comprehensive plan. ' ,Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangemf#nt of public facilities and services to serve as aframeworkfor urban and rural development. , OAR Chapter 660, Division 011, implements goal 11. OAR 660--011-003 O( 1) requires that the public facility plan list the proposed projects and identify the general location of the project on a map. The proposal will add nine projects to Tables 4 and 16; delete four projects from these same tables in recognition of their completion or supplanted need; and show the location of all proposed proj ects on Map 2. These ~bles and map are adopted as part of the Metro Plan, btit are located in, and are a part of the P FSP. OAR 660--011-0035(1) requires that the public facility plan include a. rough cost estimate for sewer public facility proj ects identified in the facility plan. In confonnity with this requirement, Table 16 includes rough cost estimates for all nine proposed projects. These costs are derived from the work performed during the preparation of the Wastewater Master Plan. OAR 660--0 11-0045 requires certain elements of the public facility plan to be adopted as part of the comprehensive plan. These elements include the list of public facility project titles (Table 4); the map or written description of the public facility projects locations or service areas (Map 2); and policies or urban growth management agreements designating the provider of each public facility system. No policy amendments are proposed in this action. The notice of propose4 amendment sent to DLCD, the notice of the hearing on these amendments, and the applicable criteria are consistent with the provisions for a land use decision and the post-acknowledgment procedures ofORS ,197.610. Goal 12 - Transportation To provide arid encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Staff Report and Findings Page 10 ATTACHMENT 5 - 10 , , . EXHIBIT 0 - P11 -11.- The transportation system plan is not dependent upon, or influenced by the wastewater system plan. Land development cannot occur in the absence of infrastructure and that includes wastewater and transportation; but neither the goals nor the OARs require a corollary analysis of each of these services when the city is proposing one or both of these plans for post-acknowledgement amendment All of the proposed amendments are needed to upgrade (expand the capacity of) existing facilities. In each case, the planned transportation facilities are: 1 already in place; 2 under construction; 3 in design; or, 4 planned. The changes do "not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal. Goal 13 - Energy Conservation To conserve energy. ,3. Land use planning should, to the maximum extent possible, seek to recycle and re-use vacant land and those uses which are not energy efficient. ' All of the projects are upgrades or expand the capacity of existing systems. Such astrategy maximizes the efficiency of the exist:ii:1g system (sunk cost) and provides for in:fill and redevelopment opportunities that couldn't go :forward without these improvements. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or P FSP consistency with this goal. Goal 14 - Urbanization To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of I and, and to provide for livable communities. The amendments do not affect the existing UGB; they will allow capacity expansion of existing facilities to enable projected planned population and employment growth through the (2025) planning year. If these upgrades do not occur, projected population and employment growth will need to be accommodated beyond the existing UGB. The proposed amendments will potentially delay when UGB adjustments must be taken and may reduce the acreage necessary to accommodate projected growth. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal. ' Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, .agricultilral, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. There are two projects in proximity to the Willamette River: Nugget Way aild Harbor Drive pump stations. The presence of these facilities, and the necessary upgrades, will allow planned development of these areas to occur, but not at the exclUSIon of any other rules or standards that may be applicable to even per;mitted StafIReport and Findings Page 11 ATTACHMENT 5 -11 EXHIBIT 0 - P12 -12 - development. For example, development within the Greenway Boundary is permitted but is subject to SDC 3.3-300 regardless of the presence or absence of infrastructure. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or P FSP consistency with this goal. Goal 16 Estuarine Resources, Goal 17 Coastal Shorelands, Goal 18 Beaches and Dunes, and Goal 19 Ocean Resources These goal~ do not apply to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area. (h) Adoption o/the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent The project lists and maps contained in the PFSP were adopted as part of the Metro Plan in 2004 and 2006. The project lists in the PFSP, in the form of tables, include pump stations and any pipes 24 inches or larger; the maps show the general location or service area of the projects. The proposed amendments include pump stations and pipes 24 inches or large, project descriptions, and ' changes to the map to show the general location of each project These same amendments are applied to the same project lists (Tables 4 and 16) and maps (Map 2) in the PFSP that are specifically adopted as part of the Metro Plan. This action constitutes the quintessential test of consistency. The proposed changes, as presented, will not q'eate internal inconsistencies within the Metro Plan. In addition to the foregoing, the proposed m:;nendments are consistent with the following Metro Plan policies: ''Extend the minimum level and:full range of key urban facilities and services in an orderly and efficient manner consistent with the growth management policies in Chapter IT - C, relevant policies in this chapter, and other Metro Plan policies." (page ill-G-4, policy G.t) , "Use the planned facilities maps of the Public Facilities and Services Plan to guide the general location of water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical projects in the metropolitan area. Use local facility master plans, refinement plans, and ordinances as the guide for detailed planning and project implementation." (page ill-G-4, policy G.2) ''Modifications and additions to or deletions from the project lists in the Public Facilities and Services Plan for water, wastewater, and stormwater public facility projects or significant changes to project location, from that described in the Public Facilities and Services Plan planned facilities Maps 1,2 and 3, requires amending the Public Facilities and Services Plan and the Metro Plan..."
