Exhibit B concerns amendments to “an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation (including a zoning map)…” The TPR requires a determination as to whether or not the change to the comprehensive plan or zoning map would “significantly affect’ an existing or planned transportation facility. OAR 660-012-0060(1) establishes that a plan amendment or zone change has a significant affect if it would: (a)Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (b)Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or (c)Result in any of the effects listed in paragraphs (A) through (C) of this subsection based upon projected conditions measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted TSP [Transportation System Plan]. As part of evaluating projected conditions, the amount of traffic projected to be generated within the area of the amendment may be reduced if the amendment includes an enforceable, ongoing requirement that would demonstrably limit traffic generation, including, but not limited to, transportation demand management.

The subject property is also within the boundaries of the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS), last updated in 2003 as a refinement of TransPlan. The CATS boundaries include the adopted Downtown Plan boundaries. Eugene City Council recently enacted Ordinance No. 20514 revising certain city code standards regarding downtown and mixed use development, and amending TransPlan’s Transportation System Improvement (TSI) Roadway Policy #2. The code revisions included amendment to Eugene Code section 9.8670 establishing the
