· Refinement Plan Amendment - TRS 18-03-03-2-3, Tax Lots 199, 200, 300 January 13, 2004 Page 10 not one of the specified tax lots and is not included in the Agreement's Exhibit A-Page 5. Terms of Agreement number 6 (page 3 of 9) provides: "This Agreement applies to the land parcels identified in Recital 5 [sic] as they are currently zoned and contemplated for development as identified by Exhibit "A: page 5. If the land parcels subject to this Agreement develop in a manner that deteriorates the volume to capacity ratio at the Judkins Point (Glenwood) Interchange to a point below that anticipated by the phasing identified by Exhibit "A" page 5, then the City of Eugene, City of Springfield and ODOT shall review the development proposal and will amend the public road approach permit to address the changed traffic impacts. * * *." (Emphasis added.) The Agreement expressly states which tax lots are part of the Agreement and that the Agreement must be reexamined if development of those specified tax lots changes from that specified and in a manner that will adversely impact the applicable traffic facilities. The Agreement does not require the parties to renegotiate it when there is a plan designation change or zone change on any tax lot that is not a part of the Agreement. Consequently, any land use decisions pertaining to the subject property do not require the Agreement to be reexamined. Conclusion: The proposal complies with Goal 12 and the TPR. Goal 13: Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. Findings: Commercial development of the subject property could possibly use more energy than residential development of the property (if development were possible) and certainly would use more energy than is currently used on the vacant ,site. Energy use and costs can be minimized by using energy efficient construction to include efficient heating and cooling systems. Visitors to the property will consume energy for transportation. However, the proximity of the site to the commercial node will promote alternative modes of transportation through mass transit use, bicycles and walking. Transportation energy use will also be lessened by utilizing a vacant lot that is within an area undergoing development. This in-fill use will help meet the Goal 13 planning policy of re-using vacant land. Commercial development of the subject property, which is adjacent to the new Glenwood Interchange and Moon Mountain Drive facility will promote the Goal 13 policy of increasing the density of development along high capacity transportation facilities. Conclusion: The proposal complies with Goal 13. Goal 14: Urbanization: To provide for an'orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. II-B-lO
