This Goal is not applicable as the subject area and actions do not affect any agricultural plan designation or use. Therefore, this Goal is not relevant and the refinement Plan adoption does not affect Metro Plan compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 3. Goal 4 - Forest Land: To conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect 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 wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture. This Goal is not applicable as the subject area and actions do not affect any forest plan designation or use. Therefore, this Goal is not relevant and the refinement Plan adoption does not affect Metro Plan compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 4. Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources: To conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources. The adoption of the Eugene Downtown Plan and the related code amendment do not create or amend the city's list of Goal 5 resources, do not amend a code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, do not allow new uses that could be conflicting uses with a significant Goal 5 resource site and do not amend the acknowledged UGB. While the acknowledged Goal 5 inventory for the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan area identifies significant Goal 5 resources within the Willamette River Greenway that are included in the Plan boundaries, the acknowledged Goal 5 protective measures for those areas will not be affected by the Plan and code provisions. The plan and code amendments do not allow any new uses. Further, development within the Willamette Greenway will still be subject to a Type III application procedure as provided for in the City of Eugene's Land Use Code (Chapter 9 of the Municipal Code). Refer to EC 9.7300 - 9.7340; EC 9.880 - 9.8825. In addition to those resources identified on the Goal 5 maps, there are Goal 5 historic properties within the Downtown Plan area. The text of the Downtown Plan recognizes the importance of these properties, and encourages their protection and continued use. It does not change any of the acknowledged protective measures that apply to those properties. The refinement plan adoption and related code changes are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 5. Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. Exhibit A to Ordinance 20316 - 3
