City of Eugene- Kaufrnan House Page 14 Code Amendment/Zone Change: Creation of Historic.Special Area Zone Satre Associates, P.C. August 5, 2004 Goal 7: Natural Hazards - To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. As above, the proposed code amendment does not alter plan policies currently in effect regarding Natural Hazards. Mechanisms currently in place to protect life and property will not be impacted by the proposed amendment. Therefore, Statewide Planning 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' primarily relates to the provision of recreational facilities in non-urban areas of the state. At present, there are no policies related to the provision of recreational facilities within .the boundaries of the proposed SAZ. Furthermore, nothing inherent in the proposed amendment will impact the provision of recreation facilities within the City 'or State. To the extent this criterion relates to former city recreational services offered on the site, nothing in Goal 8 requires the continuance of these services, and furthermore, the proposed SAZ responds to the City Council's direction to enable separate sale of the Katrfinan Senior Center and the Kaufman Annex if necessary in the future. The property is not identified as necessary in any adopted recreation plan. 1 Therefore, the proposed 'amendments comply with Goal 8. Goal 9: Economy- 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 proposed amendment will not directly impact the need for or supply of commercial or industrial' lands within the City of Eugene. That said, allowing for' the reuse of the structure will encourage continued investmem in the Westside neighborhood without sacrificing the grounds to residential infill. Based on these findings, the proposed amendment complies with Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing: To Provide for the housing needs of the state. Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land for needed housing units. The Metropolitan Area General Plan- Residential Land and Housing Element implements Goal 10 by providing background data and analysis, findings, and policies related to the provision of residential lands inside the Eugene/Springfield urban growth boundaries. In 1999, the Residential Land Use and I The 1989 Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan does'contain the following high priority proposed action: "Campbell and Kaufman Senior Centers: Expand to accommodate multiple demands" (p. 35). However, this proposed action does not constitute a policy or approval criterion. Budget considerations affect the city's ability to implement proposed actions. 31
