Land located within the Eugene Urban Growth Area is zoned to provide areas suitable for certain types of development. Each zone provides a set of regulations governing the uses, building setbacks, height, and other development standards. Property may also be subject to an overlay zone. The overlay establishes additional regulations beyond the base zone to address specific community objectives, such as protection of environmentally sensitive areas or improving the efficient use of public transit. In some cases, overlays may provide an exception to the standard regulations for the base zone.Base Zones: Land located within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary is zoned to provide areas suitable for certain types of development. Each base zone provides a set of regulations governing the uses, building setbacks, building height and other development features.Overlay Zones: Property may also be subject to one or more overlay zones. Overlay zones establish additional regulations beyond the base zone to address specific community objectives, such as protection of environmentally sensitive areas or improving the efficient use of public transit.Special Area Zones: A special area zone is a type of base zone that is applied to a specific area of the city that possesses distinctive buildings or natural features that have special significance for the community and requires special consideration or implementation of conservation and development measures that can not be achieved through application of the standard base zones.Special Area Zone Subareas: Some special area zones are further divided into subareas, such as commercial or single-family residential. These subareas establish regulations that govern the uses and development of these specific areas.Read more about the Zoning Map.

Ipswich Planning Scheme

The 2006 Consolidated Ipswich Planning Scheme covers the entire local government area. In most instances it includes roads and watercourses. The Planning Scheme was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) and the Department of Local Government and Planning guidelines and scheme template.

Council adopted the Consolidated Planning Scheme (including all amendments to the 2004 Ipswich Planning Scheme) on 14 December 2005, and took effect (ie commencement date) on 23 January 2006.

The Planning Scheme divides the Ipswich Local Government Area into 8 localities-

Urban Areas

City Centre

Regionally Significant Business Enterprise and Industry Areas

Amberley

Rosewood

Township Areas

Rural Areas, and

Springfield.

Each locality is further divided into Zones and in some cases, Sub Areas and Precincts. The planning scheme also provides a secondary organisational layer called Overlays, which are based on special attributes of land that need to be protected, or that may constrain development. There are two types of overlays - character places overlays and development constraints overlays.

The Planning Scheme uses the concepts of Overall Outcomes, Specific Outcomes, Probable Solutions and Acceptable Solutions for a zone, overlay or code.

Overall Outcomes are essentially the overall purpose or intent statements. Specific Outcomes are the more detailed performance objectives.

Probable Solutions represent one way of achieving a specific outcome and may be either increased or decreased by the Local Government depending on the individual circumstances of the proposal.

Acceptable Solutions apply only to self-assessable development and represent a precise measure for compliance.

In addition to the zoning of a property, it is also imperative to refer to the overlay maps and associated overlay codes (see Part 11) in the planning scheme as these may change the relevant assessment category of development compared to the underlying zone, or provide additional information.

Also, in addition to the overlays affecting a property, it is also imperative to refer to the zoning maps and associated zone codes in the planning scheme as these may change the relevant assessment category of development, or provide additional information.

This data layer is an element of the Oregon GIS Framework. This theme delineates Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) in the state of Oregon. Oregon land use laws limit development outside of urban growth boundaries. The line work was created by various sources including the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Metro Regional Council of Governments (Metro), county and city GIS departments, and the Oregon Department of Administrative Services - Geospatial Enterprise Office (DAS-GEO). Urban growth boundaries (UGBs) are lines drawn on planning and zoning maps to show where a city expects to experience growth for the next 20 years. UGBs were established under Oregon Statewide Planning Goals in 1973 by the Oregon State Legislature (Senate Bill 100). Goal 14 specifically deals with UGBs (OAR 660-15-0000(4)). Other specific ORS that relate to the designation and delineation of UGBs are: 197.626 Expanding urban growth boundary and designating urban reserve area subject to periodic review. A city with a population of 2,500 or more within its urban growth boundary that amends the urban growth boundary to include more than 50 acres or that designates urban reserve areas under ORS 195.145 shall submit the amendment or designation to the Land Conservation and Development Commission in the manner provided for periodic review under ORS 197.628 to 197.650. [1999 c.622 §14; 2001 c.672 §10] and 197.628 Periodic review; policy; conditions that indicate need for periodic review.(1) It is the policy of the State of Oregon to require the periodic review of comprehensive plans and land use regulations in order to respond to changes in local, regional and state conditions to ensure that the plans and regulations remain in compliance with the statewide planning goals adopted pursuant to ORS 197.230, and to ensure that the plans and regulations make adequate provision for needed housing, employment, transportation and public facilities and services. Determining UGBs in Oregon is done based on input from city and county governments. Such special districts as public safety and utilities also participate because they provide important services. Local citizens and other interested people also provide input at public hearings, and by voting. After local governments determine the UGB, they submit a Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendment and the state Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) reviews it for consistency with Goal 14. As part of this process jurisdictions send GIS files to DLCD highlighting the amended area. UGBs that are currently in the appeal process at the time of publication are not included. The effDate attribute is populated to indicate the data version and year in which the UGB was updated. UGB amendments are verified with DLCD’s Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendment (PAPA) database to ensure that all UGB updates reported to DLCD have been included in this data. In 2019 DLCD acknowledged amendments to the following UGBs: Madras, Mill City, Redmond, Springfield and Stanfield.
