Goal 14 - Urbanization To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments do not affect the City's provisions regarding the transition of land from rural to urban uses. Therefore, Goal 14 does not apply. Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway. To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. The Willamette River Greenway area within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary is governed by existing local provisions which have been acknowledged as complying with Goal 15. Those provisions are unchanged by these amendments. Therefore, Goal 15 does not apply. Goals 16 -19 Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean resources. These Statewide Planning Goals do not apply to the actions taken. (2) The amendments are co_ nsistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan and applicable adopted refinement plans. The proposed code amendments add regulations to the Land Use Code with the intent of protecting life and property from flood and drainage hazards, reducing the impacts that urbanization is having on the City's water quality, and protecting waterways from erosive affects of increases in stormwater runoff. Additionally, the proposed code amendments refine the City's current stormwater management code provisions in an effort to further reduce pollutant loading to receiving waters from developed areas. The proposed amendments require development applicants to select stormwater quality facilities from the Stormwater Management Manual based on the following priority order: infiltration, filtration, off -site stormwater quality management. Each of these priorities is described below: 1. Infiltration: On -site infiltration facilities (i.e. stormwater planters and rain gardens) reduce pollutants and mitigate the volume, duration, and time of concentration and rate of stormwater runoff. 2. Filtration: On -site filtration facilities (i. e. stormwater planters, rain gardens, vegetative and grassy swales, and filter strips) reduce pollutants and mitigate a portion of the volume, duration, and time of concentration and rate of stormwater runoff. 3. Off-Site Stormwater Quality Management: Public off -site infiltration and filtration treatment facilities designed and constructed utilizing stormwater system development charges collected from development applications that are not able to construct private infiltration or filtration due to site constraints.
