Page 2 of 2 Planner: BJ EXHIBIT Aa .PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE METRO PLAN (Current version of the Metro Plan) G. Public Facilities and Services Element This Public Facilities and Services Element provides direction for the future provision of urban facilities and services to planned land uses within the Metro Plan Plan Boundary (plan Boundary). .. The availability of public facilities and services is a key factor influencing the location and density of future development. The public's investment in, and scheduling of, public facilities and services are a major means of implementing the Metro Plan. As the population of the Eugene-Springfield area increases and land development patterns change over time, the demand for urban services also increases and changes. These changes require that service providers, both public and private, plan for the provision of services in a coordinated marmer, using consistent assumptions and projections for population and land use. The policies in this element complement Metro Plan Chapter II-A, Fundamental Principles, and Chapter II-C, Growth Management. Consistent with the principle of compact urban growth prescribed in Chapter II, the policies in this element call for future urban water and wastewater services to be provided exclusively within the urban growth boundary. This policy direction is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal II: Public Facilities and Services, "To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." On urban lands, new development must be served by at least the minimum level of key urban services and facilities at the time development is completed and, ultimately, by a full range of key urban services and facilities. On rural lands within the Plan Boundary, development must be served by rural levels of service. Users of facilities and services in rural areas are spread out geographically, resulting in a higher per-user cost for some services and, often, in an inadequate revenue base to support a higher. level of service in the future. Some urban facilities may be located or managed outside the urban growth boundary, as allowed by state law, but only to serve development within the urban growth boundary. Urban facilities and services within the urban growth boundary are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), the Springfield Utility Board (SUB), the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC), electric cooperatives, and special service districts. Special service districts provide schoois and bus service, and, in some areas outside the cities, they provide water, electric, fire service or parks and recreation service. This element provides guidelines for special service districts in line with the compact urban development fundamental principle ofthe Metro Plan. Date Received ~11r; <)5 7no4: Ordinance No. PA 1209 -Exhibit Aa - If~a1ttlet c ~:)J This element incorporates the findings and policies in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services Plan), adopted'as a refinement to the Metro Plan. The Public Facilities and Services Plan provides guidance for public facilities and services, including plarmed water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical facilities. As required by Goal 11, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies and shows the general location' of the water, wastewater, and stormwater projects needed to serve land within the urban growth boundary.2 The Public Facilities and Services Plan also contains this information for electrical facilities, although not required to by law. The project lists and maps in the Public Facilities and Services Plan are adopted as part of the Metro Plan. Information in the Public Facilities and Services Plan on project phasing and costs, and decisions on timing and financing of projects are not part of the Metro Plan and are controlled solely by the capital improvement programming and budget processes of individual service providers. This element of the Metro Plan is organized by the following topics related to the provision of urban facilities and services. Policy direction for the full range of services, . f.._L::'.a ,.'~O'T'r"~Qr JerRSe, may be found under any of these topics, although the first topic, Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary, is further broken down into sub-categories. Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary . Planning and Coordination . Water . Wastewater . Stormwater . Electricity . Schools . Solid Waste . Services to Areas Outside the Urban Growth Boundary . Locating and Managing Public Facilities Outside the Urban Growth Boundary . Financing The applicable findings and policies are contained under each.ofthese topic headings, below. The policies listed provide direction for public and private developmental and program decision-making regarding urban facilities and services. Development should be coordinated with the plarming, financing, and construction of key urban facilities and services to ensure the efficient use and expansion of these facilities. I The exact location of the projects shown on the Public Fa~ilities and Services Plan planned facilities maps is determined through local processes. 2 Goal II also requires transportation facilities to be included in public facilities plans. In this nlC\Wl~ . d area, transportation facilities are addressed in Metro Plan Chapter JII-F and in the Eugene-Sprin!f11!13.U:; neCeNe Transportation System Plan (Frans Plan). Ordinance No. PA 1209 _ Exhibi~~~ 2 a 200l~~ .~, papj~Rner: BJ Goals I. Provide and maintain public facilities and services in an efficient and enviromnentally responsible manner. 2. Provide public facilities and services in a manner that encourages orderly and sequential growth. . Findinf!s and Policies Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Planning and Coordination Findinl!s 1. Urban expansion within the urban growth boundary is accomplished through in- fill, redevelopment, and annexation of territory which can be served with a minimum level of key urban services and facilities. This permits new development to use existing facilities and services, or those which can be easily , extended, minimizing the public cost of extending urban facilities and services. \ 2. In accordance with Statewide Planning Goal II and OAR 660, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of water, wastewater and stormwater, describes respective service areas and existing and planned water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities, and contains planned facilities maps for these services. Electric system information and improvements are included in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, although not required by state law. Local facility master plans and refinement plans provide more specific project information. 3. Urban services within the metropolitan urban growth boundary are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, EWEB, SUB, the MWMC, electric cooperatives, and special service districts. 4. The Public Facilities and Services Plan finds that almost all areas within the city limits of Eugene and Springfield are served or can be served in the short-term (0-5 years) with water, wastewater, stormwater, and electric service. Exceptions to this are stormwater service to portions of the Willow Creek area and southeast Springfield and full water service at some higher elevations in Eugene's South Hill~. Service to these areas will be available in the long-term. Service to all areas within city limits are either in a capital improvement plan or can be extended with development. W. h h .

Ordinance No. PA 1209-E~t~ner' BJ Page 3 m1 ' boundary can be served with water, wastewater, stormwater, and electric service at the time those areas are developed. In general, areas outside city limits serviceable in the long-term are located near the urban growth boundary and in urban reserves, primarily in River Road, Santa Clara, west Eugene's Willow Creek area, south Springfield, and the Thurston and Jasper-Natron areas in east Springfield. 6. OAR 660-011-0005 defines projects that must be included in public facility plan project lists for water, wastewater, and stormwater. These definitions are shown in the keys of planned facilities Maps 1,2, l;!, and 3 in the Public Facilities and Services Plan. 7. In accordance with ORS 195.020 to 080, Eugene, Springfield, Lane County and special service districts are required to enter into coordination agreements that define how planning coordination and urban services (water, wastewater, fire, parks, open space and recreation, and streets, roads and mass transit) will be provided within the urban growth boundary. 8. Large institutional uses, such as universities and hospitals, present complex planning problems for the metropolitan area due to their location, facility expansion plans, and continuing housing and parking needs. 9. Duplication of services prevents the most economical distribution of public facilities and services. 10. As discussed in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, a majority of nodal development areas proposed in TransPlan are serviceable now or in the short- term. The City of Eugene's adopted Growth Management Policy #15 states, "Target publicly-financed infrastructure extensions to support development for higher densities, in-fill, mixed uses, and nodal development." Policies G.I Extend the minimwn level and full range of key urban facilities and services in an orderly and efficient manner consistent with the growth management policies in Chapter ll-C, relevant policies in this chapter, and other Metro Plan policies. G.2 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, canital imnrovement nlans, and ordinances as the guide for detailed planning and project implementation.'

G.5 The cities shall continue joint planning coordination with major institutions, such as universities and hospitals, due to their relatively large impact on local facilities and services. G.6 Efforts shall be made to reduce the number ofwmecessary special service districts and to revise confusing or illogical service boundaries, including those that result in a duplication of effort or overlap of service. When possible, these efforts shall be pursued in cooperation with the affected jurisdictions. G.7 Service providers shall coordinate the provision offacilities and services to areas targeted by the cities for higher densities, infill, mixed uses, and nodal development.

G.l;1,3 SUB, EWEB, and Rainbow Water District, the water providers that currently control a water source, shall examine the need for a metropolitan-wide water master program, recognizing that a metropolitan-wide system will require establishing standards; as well as coordinated source and delivery systems. Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Stormwater Findings 1;1,4. Historically, stormwater systems in Eugene and Springfield were designed primarily to control floods. The 1987 re-authorization of the federal Clean Water Act required, for the first time, local communities to reduce stormwater pollution within their mUnicipal storm diainage systems. These requirements applied initially to the City of Eugene and subsequent amendments to the Act extended these requirements to Springfield and Lane County. . 1;;5. Administration and enforcement of the Clean Water Act stormwaterprovisions occur at the state level, through National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements. Applicable jurisdictions are required to obtain . an NPDES stormwater permit from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and prepare a water quality plan outlining the Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be taken over a five-year permit period for reducing stormwater pollutants to "the maximum extent practicable." 146. Stormwater quality improvement facilities are most efficient and effective at intercepting and removing pollutants when they are close to the source of the pollutants and treat relatively small volumes of runoff. 1~7. The Clean Water Act requires states to assess the quality oftheir surface waters every three years, and to list those waters which do not meet adopted water quality standards. The WilIamette River and other water bodies have been listed as not meeting the standards for temperature and bacteria. This will require the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these pollutants, and an allocation to point and non-point sources. 168. The listing of Spring Chinook Salmon as a threatened species in the Upper Willamette River requires the application of Endangered Species Act (ESA) provisions to the salmon's habitat in the McKenzie and Willarnette Rive"".Ige R . d decline in the Chinook Salmon has been attributed to such factors as destWci4b~ ecelve of habitat through channelization and revetment of river banks, non-point source __ . pollution, alterations of natural hydrograph by increased iropervious surfaces ir~UG 25 200jJ the basin, and degradation of natural functions of riparian lands due to re'ifYlyal or . . B J alteration of indigenous vegetation r'lanner: Ordinance No. P A 1209 - Exhibit Aa Page 7 ofl7 ,r-, 1-79. There are many advantages to keeping chaxmels open, including, at a minimum, natural biofiltration of stormwater pollutants; greater ability to attenuate effects of peak stormwater flows; retention of wetland, habitat, and open space functions; and reduced capital costsJor stormwater facilities. +&20. An increase in impervious surfaces, without mitigation, results in higher flows during peak storm events, less opportunity for recharging of the aquifer, and a decrease in water quality. ' +921. Stormwater systems tend to be gravity-based systems that follow the slope of the land rather than political boundaries. In many cases, the natural drainageways such as streams serve as an integral part of the stormwater conveyance system. 2G2., In general, there are no programs for stormwater maintenance outside the Eugene and Springfield city limits, except for the Lane County roads program. State law limits county road funds for stormwater projects to those located within the public right-of-way. 2-1-3. Filling in designated floodplain areas can increase flood elevations aboye the elevations predicted by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) models, because the FEMA models are typically based only on the extent of development at the time the modeling was conducted and do not take into account the ultimate buildout of the drainage area.

Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Schools ]!'indinl!'S 2J.5. 246. 2f>7. us. ~9. ORS 195.110 requires cities and counties to include, as an element oftheir comprehensive plan, a school facility plan for high growth districts prepared by the district in cooperation with the city or county; and for the city or county to initiate the planning activity. The law defmes high growth districts as those that have an enrollment of over 5,000 students and an increase in enrollment of six percent or more during the three most recent school years. At present, there are no high growth school districts in the urban growth boundary. ORS I 97.296(4)(a) states that when the urban growth boundary is amended to provide needed housing, "As part of this process, the amendment shall include sufficient land reasonably necessary to accommodate the siting of new public school facilities. The need and inclusion of lands for new public school facilities shall be a coordinated process between the affecied public school districts and the local government that has the authority to approve the urban growth boundary." Enrollment projections. for the five public school districts in the metropolitan area and the University of Oregon and Lane Community College (LCC) are not consistent. Bethel School District and the University of Oregon expect increases while Springfield and Eugene School Districts and LCC are experiencing nearly flat or declining enrollments. Enrollment is increasing fastest in the elementary and high school attendance area,s near new development. . Short-term fluctuations in school attendance are addressed through the use of adjusted attendance area boundaries, double shifting, use of portable classrooms, and busing. School funding from the state is based on student enrollment for school districts in the State of Oregon. This funding pattern affects the willingness of districts to iIllow out-of-district transfers and to adjust district boundaries. Adjustments in district boundaries may be feasible where there is no net loss or gain in student enrollments between districts.

Quality smatte'r ,.1' pi BJ Ordinance No. PA 1209-Ext~n[ler: Page 10 of 17 r-, schools may allow more parents to stay in established neighborhoods and to avoid moving out to new subdivisions on the urban fringe or to bedroom communities. However, growth patterns do not always respect school district boundaries. For example, natural cycles of growth and neighborhood maturation result in uneven geographic growth patterns in the metropolitan area, causing a disparity between the location of some schools and school children. This results in some fringe area schools exceeding capacity, while some central city schools are under capacity. ~30. Long-range enrollment forecasts determine the need to either build new schools, expand existing facilities, or close existing schools. Funding restrictions imposed by state law and, some provisions in local codes may discourage the retention and redevelopment of neighborhood schools. Limits imposed by state law on the use of bond funds for operations and maintenance make the construction of new, lower maintenance buildings preferable to remodeling existing school buildings. In addition, if existing schools were expanded, some school sites may not meet current local parking and other.code requirements. ) ;w.31. Combining educational facilities with local park and recreation facilities provides financial benefits to the schools while enhancing benefits to the community. The Meadow View School and adjacent City of Eugene community park is an example of shared facilities. Policies G.2i-2 The cities shall initiate a process with school districts within the urban growth boundary for coordinating land use and school planning activities. The cities and school districts shall examine the following in their coordination efforts: a. The need for new public school facilities and sufficient land to site them; b. How open enrollment policies affect school location; c. The impact of school building height and site size on the buildable land supply; , d.

Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Solid Waste Findin!1s 3G2. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires that, "To meet current and long-range needs, a provision for solid waste disposal sites, including sites> for inert waste, shall be included in each plan." Policies G.245 The Lane County Solid Waste Management Plan, as updated, shall serve as the . guide for the location of solid waste sites, including sites for inert waste, to serve the metropolitan area. Industries that make significant use of the resources recovered from the Glenwood solid waste transfer facility should be encouraged to locate in that vicinity. Services to Areas Outside the Urban Growth Boundary Findings 3-l-3.

Public Facilities and Services Element This Public Facilities and Services Ele~ent provides direction for the future provision of urban facilities and services to planne~ land uses within the Metro Plan Plan Boundary (plan Boundary).! 'I The availability of public facilities and services is a key factor influencing the location and density of future development. The public's investment in, and scheduling of, public facilities and services are a major means of implementing the Metro Plan. As the population ofthe Eugene-Springfield area increases and land development patterns change over time, the demand for urban services also increases and changes. These changes require that service providers"both public and private, plan for the provision of . services in a coordinated manner, using consistent assumptions and projections for population and land use. The policies in this element complement Metro Plan Chapter II-A, Fundamental Principles, and Chapter II-C, Growth Management. Consistent with the principle of compact urban growth prescribed in Chapter II, the policies in this element call for future urban water and wastewater services to be provided exclusively within the urban growth boundary (UGB). This policy direction is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal II: Public Facilities and Services, "To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." On urban lands, new development must be served by at least the minimum level of key urban services and facilities at the time development is completed and, ultimately, by a full range of key \ITban services and facilities. On rural lands within the Plan Boundary, development must be served by rural levels of service. Users of facilities and services in rural areas arelspread out geographically, resulting in a higher per-user cost for some services and, often, in an inadequate revenue base to support a higher level of service in the 'future. Some urban facilities may be located or managed outside the urban growth boundary, as allowed by state law, but only to serve development within the UGB. .. Urban facilities and services within the:UGB are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), the Springfield Utility Board (SUB), the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC), electric cooperatives, and special service districts. Special service districts provide schools and bus service, and, in some areas outside ,the cities, they provide water, electric, fire service or parks and recreation serVice. This element provides guidelines for special service districts in line with the corripa~t urban development fundamental princill!1l.~ Received Metro Plan.

This element incorporates the findings and policies in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services Plan), adopted as a refinement to the Metro Plan. The Public Facilities and Services Plan provides guidance for public facilities and services, including planned water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical' facilities. As required by Goal II, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies,'and shows the general location' of the water, wastewater, and stormwater projects needed to serve land within the UGB.2 The Public Facilities and Services Plan also contains this information for electrical facilities, although not required to by law. The project lists and maps in the Public Facilities and Services Plan are adopted as part of the Metro Plan. Information in the 'Public Facilities and Services Plan on project phasing and costs, and decisions on timing and financing ofprojects are not part of the Metro Plan and are controlled solely by the capital improvement programmilIg and budget processes of individual service providers. , The policies listed provide direction for public' and private developmental and program decision-making regarding urban facilities and services. Development should be coordinated with the planning, financing, and construction of key urban facilities and services to ensure the effiCient use and:,expansion of these facilities. , Goals I. Provide and maintain public facilities and services in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner. 2. Provide public facilities and services in a manner that encourages orderly and sequential growth. . Findings and Policies The findings and policies in'this element are organized by the following four topics related to the provision of urban facilities and services. Policy direction for the full range of urban facilities and services, incilIEiiag ';:aste'llaC ocn';ccr, may be found under any of these topics, although the first topic, Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary, is further broken down into sub-categories. .

Urban expansion within the UGB is accomplished through in-fill, redevelopment, and annexation ofterritory which can be served with a minimum level of key urban services and facilities:TIlls permits new development to use existing . facilities and services, or those.which can be easily extended, minimizing the public cost of extending Urban facilities and services. 2. In accordance with Statewide Planning Goal 11 and OAR 660, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of water, wastewater and stormwater, describes respective service. areas and existing and planned water; wastewater, and stormwater facilities, and contains planned facilities maps for these services. Electric system information and improvements are included in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, although not required by state law. Local facility master plans and refinement plans provide more specific projec! information. 3. Urban services within the metropolitan UGB are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, EWEB, SUB, the MWMC, electric cooperatives, and spe"ial service districts. 4. The Public Facilities and Services Plan finds that almost all areas within the city limits of Eugene and Springfield are served or can be served in the short-term (O-S . years) with water, wastewater, Stormwater, and electric service. Exceptions to this are stormwater service to portions ofthe Willow Creek area and southeast Springfield and full water servi6e at some higher elevations in Eugene's South Hills. Service to these areas will be available in the long-term. Service to all areas within city limits are either in a capital improvement plan or can be extended with development. 5.

OAR 660-011-0005 defines projects that must be included in public facility plan project lists for water, wastewater, and stormwater. These definitions are shown in the keys of planned facilities Maps 1, 2, ~and 3 in the Public Facilities and Services Plan. 7. In accordance with ORS 195.020 to 080, Eugene, Springfield, Lane County and special service districts are required to enter into coordination agreements that define how planning coordination and urban services (water, wastewater, fire, parks, open space and recreation, and streets, roads and mass transit) will be provided within the UGIl. . 8. Large institutional uses, such as universities and hospitals, present complex planning problems for the metropolitan area due to their location, facility expansion plans, and continuing housing and parking needs. 9. Duplication of services prevenis the most economical distribution of public facilities and services. 10. As discussed in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, a majority of nodal development areas proposed in TransPlan are serviceable now.or in the short- term. The City of Eugene's adopted Growth Management Policy #15 states, "Target publicly-financed infrastructure extensions to support dev.elopment for higher densities, in-fill, mixed uses, and nodal development."

Amendments to the Plan This chapter describes the method to be used in the event it becomes necessary or appropriate to modify the text, tables or the maps contained in the Public Facilities and Services Plan ("the Plan"). Flexibility oftbe Plan Certain public facility project descriptions, location or service area designations will necessarily change as a result of subsequent design studies, capital improvement programs, environmental impact studies and changes in potential sources of funding. The Plan is not designed to 'either prohibit projects not included in the plan for which unanticipated funding has been obtained, preclude project specification and location decisions made according to the National Environmental Policy Act, or subject administrative and technical changes to the plan to post-acknowledgement review or review by the Land Use Board of Appeals. For the purposes of this Plan, two types of modifications are identified. A. Modifications requiring amendment ofthe Plan. The following modifications require amendment of the Plan: 1. Amendments, which include those modifications or changes (as represented by Table 16a) to the location or provider of public facility projects which significantly impact a public facility project identified in the comprehensive plan, and which do not qualify as administrative or technical and environmental changes, as defined below. Amendments arc subject to the administrative procedures and review and appeal procedures applicable to land use decisions. 2. Adoption of capital improvement program project lists by any service provider do not require modification of this Plan unless the requirements of subparagraph 1 above are met. B. Modifications permitted without amendment of the Plan. The following modifications dci not require amendment of this Plan: I.

U AUG 2 5 201~H OrdinanceNo.PA 1209~~ner: BJ- / ~" ./ Ordinance No. PA 1209 - Exhibit "C" Staff Report and Findings of Compliance with the Metro Plan and Statewide Goals and Administrative Rules File LRP 2004-0001 Amendments to the Metro Plan and Public Facilities and Services Plan Applicant: City of Springfield on behalf ofthe Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) . , Nature of the Application: The applicant proposes to amend the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) and the Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP)I to (1) more adequately reflect the impact that new discharge permit restrictions will have had on the capacity of the regional wastewater treatment system, (2) to clarifY the relationship between the PFSP project list and locally adopted capital improvement plans, and (3) to modifY (streamline) the administrative and legislative processes that govern the implementation and amendment ofthe.PFSP projects list. Background: MWMC's regional wastewater treatment facilities were designed and constructed in the late 1970's with a 20-year life expectancy. Slower than expected population growth in the 1980's extended this life expectancy. In 1996-97 MWMC developed a Master Plan to evaluate the performance of its facilities, to ascertain areas of constraints within the existing permit conditions, to identifY short-term improvements (e.g. how to address seismic hazards), and to address other major issues that needed to be studied further. In May of2002 the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) imposed new and more stringent discharge permit standards on the regional wastewater treatment facilities, particularly in regard to the treatment of anunonia and thermal loading. As MWMC staffbegan to evaluate design needs for its wastewater facilities, it became . apparent to them that the existing facilities could not meet the demands imposed by the new discharge permit restrictions. Recognizing that a thorough assessment of wastewater collection, treatment and disposaVreuse needs for t)1e next 20 years was essential, the MWMC began work on the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan, a comprehensive facilities plan update. The objectives ofthe 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan are tWofold. First, it is intended to provide for adequate community growth capacity through 2025, considering policies in the Metro Plan and current planning assessments for population and development. Second, the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan is intended to protect community health and safety by addressing sanitary sewer overflows, river safety, permit' compliance and the cost- effective use of existing facilities and the efficient design of new facilities. 1 See Exhibits Aa, Ab & B, respectfully, Date Received AUG 25 zmHl ~_.- Planner: BJ , , ' . /- Ordinance No. PA 1209 - Exhibit "c" The 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan recognizes and addresses the fact that the regional wastewater system for the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area does not have the capacity to meet all of the discharge standards imposed by state and federal law. Neither the Metro Plan nor the PFSP currently reflect this situation. Statewide Planning Goal 2 requires that the city, county and special district plans be consistent. In large part, the amendments proposed by this application address the issue of consistency between the Metro Plan and the PFSP and consistency ofthe 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan with the former documents. The proposed amendments provide information that should have been included in the PFSP when it was adopted and present a more accurate description of wastewater services that will be available after certain capital improvement projects are completed. Phasing objectives ofthe 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan necessitate that construction of several key facility components begin by June of 2005 in order to meet federal standards that require that peak wet weather events be managed by 2010. In order to meet this rigorous construction schedule, MWMC must have released Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for engineering design for by October of2004. Prior to this date, the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan must be adopted by the three metropolitan jurisdictions and the Metro Plan and the PFSP should be updated to reflect current information. In summary, the application .proposes and approval makes the following changes: Metro Plan 1. Specifically recognizes "wastewater" as a subcategory of service within the Urban Growth Boundary. [Chapter IlI~G] 2. Amends Finding #6 and Policy #3 to recognize the addition of Map 2a "Existing Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems" to the PFSP. [Chapter III-G] . 3. Amends Policy #2 to include local capital improvement plans as a means to implement policy in the PFSP. [Chapter III-G] 4. Inserts two findings regarding local and regional wastewater serVices to development within the urban growth boundary. [Chapter III-G] 5. Adds a new policy G.9 that makes a commitment to providing the conveyance. and treatment of wastewater to meet the needs of projected growth within the urban growth boundary and that meets regulatory requirements. [Chapter III-G] 6. Modifies defmition 37. Wastewater: Public Facilities Projects. [Chapter V Glossary] 7.

(Page 101) 6: Adds new Chapter VI regarding amendments to the PFSP. Metropolitan Area General Plan Amendment Criteria The proposed amendments are considered to be Type I Metro Plan amendments because they are non-site specific amendments to the Plan text. Amendments to the Plan text, which include changes to functional plans such as TransPlan and the PFSP, and that are non-site specific require approval by all three governing bodies to become effective.2 Springfield, Eugene and Lane County each adopted identical Metro Plan amendment criteria into their respective implementing ordinances and codes. Springfield Code Section 7.070(3) (a & b), Eugene Code 9.128(3) (a & b), and Lane Code 12.225(2) (a & b) require that the amendment be consistent with relevant statewide planning goals and that the amendment will 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; Goall - 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. SDC Article 7 METRO PLAN AMENDMENTS and SDC Article 14 PUBLIC HEARINGS prescribe the manner in which a Type I Metro Plan amendment must be noticed. . D t R . 2 See SDC 7.070(1)(0), EC 9.7730(1)(0), ond LC 12.225(1)(o)(i). . a e ecelved AUG 25 20041 '-" 3 Planner: BJ "...." ., Ordinance No. P A 1209 - Exhibit "C" Citizen involvement for a Type I Metro Plan amendment not related to an urban growth boundary amendment requires: 1) Notice to interested parties; 2) Notice shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation; 3) Notice shall be provided 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 published in the Springfield News and in the Register-Guard on March 31, 2004. Notice to interested parties was mailed on April 1, 2004. Notice of the first evidentiary hearing was provided to DLCD on March 4, 2004. The notice to DLCD identified the City of Eugene, Lane County, DEQ and EPA as affected agencies. Requirements under Goal I are met by adherence to the citizen involvement processes required by the Metro Plan and implemented by the Springfield Development Code, Articles 7 and 14; the Eugene Code, Sections 9.7735 and 9.7520; Lane Code Sections 12.025 and 12.240. Gl!al 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 land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. 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 providedfor review and comment by citizens and affected governmental units during preparation, review and revision of plans and implementation ordinances. Implementation Measures - are the means used to carry out the plan. These are 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 perrftits and grants for construction, construction of public facilities or pro~ision of services. . . I The most recent version of the Metro ~lan is being considered on May 17, 2004 for final adoption by Springfield (Ordinance No. -->, by Eugene (Council Bill No. 4860) and by Lane County {Ordinkce No. 1197) after numerous public meetings, public workshops and joint hearings of the Springfield, Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions arid Elected Officials. The Metro Plan is the "land use" or comprehensive plan required by this goal; the Springfield Development Code, the Eugene Code and the Lane Code are the "implementation measures" required by this goal. Comprehensive plans, as defined by ORS 197;015(5)3, must be coordinated with affected governm~al. . ,. . uate Received Incorporated by reference mto Goal 2. AUG 25 200,t; . Planner: BJ Ordinance No. PA 1209 - Exhibit "C" units.4 Coordination means that comments from affected governmental units are solicited and considered. In this regard, DLCD's Notice of Proposed Amendment form was sent to the City of Eugene, Lane County, DEQ and EPA. One aspect of the Goal 2 coordination requirement concerns population projections. In this respect, the proposed amendment to the PFSP Glossary concerning Wastewater incorporates a projected year 2025 population for the Eugene-Springfield Urban Growth Boundary of297,585.s This projection is consistent with the most recent (1997) final forecasts provided to Lane County by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis and the Year 2000 Census. The adoption of this modification to the PFSP will effectively "coordinate" this population assumption. Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. Goal 4 - Forest Lands The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. GoalS - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources The changes do not affect acknowledged goal 5 inventories so this goal is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality - To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and [and 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. 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 a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDESj permit prior to the discharge of any 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). . 4 SeeDLCD v. Douglas County, 33 Or LUBA 216, 221 (1997). , Table 3 of technical memorandum entitled "Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commissi~tt) Receiued Population Projections for Wastewater Facilities Plan," prepared by Mall Noesen, CH2M Hill, e~fI('A"'ffi . . r V I 9,2004) AUG U zao~1 Planner: BJ , , . , . Ordinance No. pA 1209 - Exhibit "c" One purpose of the proposed amendments is to ensure. that the Metro Plan and the PFSP accurately reflect regional wastewater system needs as imposed by Federal and State regulation. Currently, the PFSP states that"... the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant has sufficient design capacity to accommodate population increases and serve all new development at buiIdou\." Recent analyses have determined that facility improvements are now required to address both dry and wet weather requirements relating to pollutant loads and wastewater flows. The section in Chapter IV of the PFSP entitled "Long-Term Service Availability Within Urbanizable Areas" is proposed to be modified to reflect the need for facility improvements necessary to address dry and wet weather regulatory requirements. Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 8 - Recreational Needs The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 9 - Economic Development - Goal 9 provides, in part, that it is intended to: "Provide for at least an adequate supply of sites of suitable sizes, types, locations, and service levels for a variety of industrial and commercial uses consistent with plan policies." The proposed amendments are consistent with this objective in that the Metro Plan, the PFSP and the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan must be consistent in order to comply with State discharge permit conditions that will determine the improvements to the Regional Wastewater System that are necessary to address new regulatory standards. The improvements are necessary to allow adequate service and conveyance, treatment, reuse and disposal capacity to serve new and existing industrial and commercial uses. Goal 10 - Housing - To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Goal I 0 Planning Guideline 3 states that "[P flans should provide for the appropriate. type, location and phasing of pubic facilities and services sufficient to support housing development in:areas presently developed or undergoing development or redevelopment. " OAR 660--008-0010 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 I 0 defines buildable lands as ". . .lands in urban and urbanizable areas that are suitable, available and necessary for residential use." 660-008-0005(13), in part, defines land th;tV~t.L\ Ii . . · d . .. Va t78Ce1Ve . AUG 26 zooy., . Planner: BJ , . , . Ordinance No. PA 1209 - Exhibit "c" "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 facilities are necessary to accomplish the objectives of this goal and applicable administrative rules (OAR Chapter 660, Division 008). The purpose ofthe proposed amendments is to provide the comprehensive planning framework to allow for the improvements to the regional wastewater system that support the housing needs of the Eugene-Springfield . metiopolitan area. . Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services - To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. OAR Chapter 660, Division 011, implements goal 11. OAR 660-011-0030(1) requires that the public facility plan identify the general location of public facilities projects. In regard to the Metro Plan, the reference to Public Facilities and Services Plan Map 2a in Finding 6 and Policy G.3 in the proposed I amendments addresses this requirement. In regard to the PFSP, the modification of the introductory narrative under "Planned Wastewater System Improvements (page 28)," the insertion of new Tables 4a and 4b (Page 28), and the modification of Map 2 and the insertion of new Map 2a, also address this requirement. . . OAR 660-011-0035(1) requires that the public facility plan include a rough cost estimate for sewer public facility projects identified in the facility plan. In conformity with this requirement, it is proposed that the PFSP be amended by the insertion of Table 16a (Inserted following Page 101), which addresses rough cost estimates and a timing estimate for MWMC Wastewater Treatment and Collection System hnprovements. OAR 66Q-:.OII-0045(3) provides that modifications to projects listed within a public facility plan may be made without amendment to the public facility plan. This application proposes to add a new chapter to the PFSP regarding amendments to that plan. Proposed Chapter VI incorporates the standards for amending a public facility plan allowed by OAR 660-011-0045(3) and adopts an amendment process. Goal 12 - Transportation The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments. . Goal 13 - Energy Conservation The changes do not affect M. etro Plan or PFSP consistency with this go'\4I!~iit is . not applicable to the proposed amendments. uale Received AUG 2 5 zoo~v Planner: BJ . I " Ordinance No. P A 1209 - Exhibit"C" Goal 14 - Urbanization'.- To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments, as they do not affect the existing Urban growth boundary. Goal 15 - WilIamette River Greenway The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 16 Estuarine Resources, Goal 17 Coastal Shorelands, Goal 18 Beaches and Dunes, and Goal 19 Ocean Resources These goals do not apply to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area. (b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The proposed changes to the Metro Plan are essentially of a "housekeeping" nature. They essentially recognize the role of wastewater service provision within the urban growth boundary by the addition or modification of applicable findings and add or modify policy language to clarify the relationship between the Metro Plan and the PFSP in regard to capital improvement plans and the commitment to comply with regulatory requirements. The proposed changes, as presented, will not create internal inconsistencies within the Metro Plan. The proposed changes also amend the PFSP to more accurately reflect MWMC's planned improvement projects for its wastewater treatment system and primary coliection system, to provide rough cost and timing estimates for those improvements, update narrative information regarding necessary improvements to the wastewater treatment system and primary collection system, and more clearly implement the plan modification standards contained in OAR 660-011-0045(3). The proposed changes to the PFSP do not create any inconsistencies within the PFSP nor do they create any inconsistencies between the PFSP and the Metro Plan. .

With these on going programs used to detect existing problems, the infrastructure can be maintained and preserved to help extend its usefu1life for futur~ years. In March of 2003, MWMC hired 'CH2M HILL to evaluate and plan for regianal wastewater capital improvements that will serve the Eugene/Springfield urban growth boundarY into year 2025. MWMC will need to implement the recommended improvements to. meet regulatory requirements based on projected pollution loads and flows. CH2M HILL as part of its work to. evaluate and plan for regional wastewater improvements has prepared a technical memo related to "Flow and Load Projections" dated April 12, 2004. This historical.and projected information is being used to plan for needed MWMC capital improvements based on engineering evaluation methods and by comparing technology options. It is estimated that approximately $160 million dollars (in 2004 dollars) are needed for MWMC projects to. aqdress regulatory requ~e,11ts <l#l9 . d growth ilirorigh year 202?., .' , UaLe l1ecelVe JAN 25 zOOIDI '-.--' , Ordinance No. PA 1230 - Exhibit B Page 30f7 Planner: BJ collection system will be necessary to meet demands of growth over this time period. 2. Based on 2003 analysis, the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area treatment facilities will require facility improvements to address both dry and wet weather regulatory requirements relating to pollutant loads and wastewater flows.
