Exhibit A Findings Deer Fencing Code Amendment (CA 14-1) Eugene Code Section 9.8065 requires that the proposed ordinance comply with the following approval criteria (in bold and italics): (1) The amendment is consistent with applicable statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement. To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement which insure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements for such involvement. The proposed action does not amend the citizen involvement provisions. The process for adopting these amendments complies with Goal 1 because it is consistent with, and will not change the City’s existing and acknowledged citizen involvement provisions. The Planning Commission public hearing on the amendments was duly noticed. Notice of the public hearing was also published in the Register Guard. The City Council then held a duly noticed public hearing to consider approval, modification, or denial of the amendments. These processes afford ample opportunity for citizen involvement consistent with Goal 1. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 1. Goal 2 - Land Use Planning. To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual basis for such decisions and actions. The City’s acknowledged land use code specifies the procedures and criteria to be used for decisions and actions related to land use applications. The amendments do not change the planning process, policy framework or information relied on in making decisions and actions related to land use applications. The record also shows that there is an adequate factual base for the amendments. There are no Goal 2 Exceptions required for the amendments. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2. Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands. To preserve agricultural lands. The amendments do not affect any land designated for agricultural use. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 3 does not apply. Goal 4 - Forest Lands. To conserve forest lands. The amendments do not affect any land designated for forest use. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 4 does not apply. Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources. To conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources. OAR 660-023-0250(3) provides: Local governments are not required to apply Goal 5 in consideration of a PAPA unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource.
