I any other law or document, prevents the City from adopting a parks and recreation plan as a <br />2 stand -alone document. <br />3 The City did not err by adopting the PROS Plan by resolution instead of by ordinance. <br />4 LUBA has consistently held that the terms "resolution" and "ordinance" are interchangeable. <br />5 Even if the City should have adopted the PROS Plan by ordinance rather than resolution, because <br />6 the City adopted the resolution after following an extensive public process, adoption of the <br />7 PROS Plan by resolution was harmless error. <br />8 The City was not required to include in the PROS Plan specific elements delineated in <br />9 OAR 660 - 034 -0000, et seq. ( "the Parks Planning Rule "). The Rule's provisions pertaining to <br />10 local park plans are all permissive, that is, the provisions do not require that a city adopt a local <br />11 park master plan and, even if a city decides to adopt a local park master plan, the Rule's <br />12 provisions do not require that the City amend its acknowledged comprehensive plan and zoning <br />13 ordinances to implement the adopted plan. Only if the City had decided to adopt the PROS Plan <br />14 as part of the local comprehensive plan (which it did not do) would the Parks Planning Rule <br />15 require specific items to be included in the Plan. <br />16 The City did not violate Goal 2 or the Metro Plan by adopting the PROS Plan with a <br />17 different planning period and population projection than those that set forth in the Metro Plan. <br />18 To the extent that the Metro Plan states that the City should consider privately owned <br />19 sites when analyzing the City's future park needs, the PROS Plan sufficiently considers private <br />20 sites. <br />21 The City did not err by excluding the project list from the PROS Plan. Neither state nor <br />22 local law require that the City's local park and recreation plan include a project list. <br />23 The PROS Plan does not rezone, redesignate, purchase, restrict the use of, or even <br />24 identify any land for future park use. As such, the City's adoption of the PROS Plan does not <br />25 result in a debit from the City's inventory of residential land. <br />261 /// <br />�� Page 2 - BRIEF OF RESPONDENT <br />
