Exhibit B Goal 10 – Housing: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. Findings: Although the subject site may currently be designated High Density Residential, the site was not included among those needed to fulfill the City’s housing needs. Therefore, approval of the requested redesignation will not hinder the City’s ability to comply with Statewide Planning Goal 10. The City’s established plan for complying with Goal 10 is the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study. Although now dated, that study evaluated supply and demand for housing based upon residential land designations in the Metro Plan. However, since the subject site was already developed, not in residential use and not already zoned residential, it was not included among potential redevelopment sites considered in the study. In the Study’s 1999 Site Inventory Document, the subject site is within Subarea 2, Central Eugene. The study’s methodology states that it included “all whole or partial undeveloped tax lots residentially zoned or designated … medium and high density of an acre or more.” (pg. 1) The map for Subarea 2 did not identify any sites within the Central Eugene subarea that were designated High Density Residential and more than 1-acre in size. Thus, the subject site was not included in the City’s inventory of needed residential lands to comply with Statewide Planning Goal 10, and redesignating the subject site to Commercial would not affect the City’s compliance with Goal 10. As noted above in Goal 9 findings, more recent analysis as part of the ECLA study also did not implicate the subject property, thereby obviating any demonstrated need to retain the site’s High Density Residential land use designation. Goal 11 – Public Facilities and Services: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of pubic facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Findings: The site has been located within the Eugene city limits for decades and is served with the full complement of public facilities and services needed for existing and future urban development. Therefore, the proposed Metro Plan diagram amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Goal 12 – Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Findings: Oregon Administrative Rules 660-012 implement Statewide Planning Goal 12. Specifically, the State’s Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) in OAR 660-012-0060
