For the reasons stated above, the amendments are consistent with Goal 6. Goal 7- Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and property from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis and wildfires. The Goal prohibits a development in natural hazard areas without appropriate safeguards. The amendments do not effect the City's restrictions on development in areas subject to natural disasters and hazards. Further, the amendments do not allow for new development that could result in a natural hazard. Therefore, Goal 7 does not apply. Goal 8 - Recreational Needs To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors, and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned with the provision of those facilities in non -urban areas of the state. The amendments do not affect the City's provisions for recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities. Therefore, Goal 8 does not apply. Goal 9 - Economic Development To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 (OAR 660, Division 9) requires cities to evaluate the supply and demand of commercial land relative to community economic objectives. The City's Industrial Lands Inventory is acknowledged for compliance with the requirements of Goal 9 and its Administrative Rule. The amendments do not impact the supply of industrial or commercial lands. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 9. The stormwater development standards do not render any property unusable for commercial or industrial uses. The amendments prioritize the selection of stormwater quality facilities in the following order: infiltration, filtration, off -site stormwater quality management. Applicants that do not have sufficient land to install infiltration or filtration facilities can provide off -site stormwater quality management by contributing to the public off -site stormwater quality facilities through the payment of a higher stormwater system development charge (SDC) adopted as part of the City's system development charge methodology. Payment of a higher SDC to fund off -site stormwater quality management capital projects in lieu of constructing private on -site infiltration and filtration facilities does not restrict any buildable land area. An applicant demonstrates insufficient land area by submitting a report setting forth the required size of the smallest infiltration or filtration facility needed for the development's impervious surface area and a site plan demonstrating that an approved infiltration or filtration facility cannot be located on the development site without reducing the size Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 20521 4 of 10 Findings of Consistency
