Management Framework by request of a majority of the cities in the County. If the Commission or Board accepts the request and initiates a change, the review will follow the planning process described earlier. The requested action is to amend the RTSP, the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, to incorporate the findings and recommendations of the 1-5 Aurora- Donald Interchange (Exit 278) TAMP. Amending the text of the Comprehensive Plan is considered a legislative amendment. Statewide Land Use Goals and Related Administrative Rules STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 1: To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The TAMP Public outreach efforts were guided by a set of goals that emphasized communication and engagement with the community. Efforts focused on keeping Marion County Board of Commissioners, as well as the local elected officials representing the cities of Donald and Aurora, updated on the review of interchange concepts and alternatives and the process for selection of a preferred alternative, design refinements of the full interchange, and definition of Phase 1. Initial public outreach included: a project website that included a map and background information (www.auroradonaldinterchange.org); a direct mailer introducing the project sent to over 100 addresses near the interchange; and direct communication with City of Donald and City of Aurora administrators, the contact for Friends of French Prairie, the three travel/fuel stations around the interchange, and select other businesses. A stakeholder group of interchange area businesses and property owners was convened three times during the course of the project to share project progress and direction, review ODOT work, and to understand comments, questions, and concerns about proposed improvements to the interchange and county roads. These meetings were open to the public. In addition, two public open houses were held to share project direction and to hear comments and concerns from the public about proposed improvements to the interchange and county roads. Information detailing public outreach efforts during each phase of the project is found in TAMP Section 6, Public Involvement, and Appendix R, Stakeholder and Public Involvement Technical Memorandum. Goal 1 is met. STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 2: To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decision and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. 1-5:Aurora Donald Interchange(Exit 278)TAMP:Supporting Findings for Marion County Adoption 5
