City of Eugene - dohansen-Moocty House Page 11 Code Amendment/Zone Change: Creation of Historic Special Area Zone Satre Associates, P.C. September 17, 2004 Goal 5: Open Spaces, Natural Resources and Scenic Areas - To protect natural resource and conserve scenic and historic areas and OPen spaces. There are no known natural resources, open spaces, or scenic areas requiring protection within the area proposed for inclusion in the SAZ. With regard to historic resources, the property is on the City of Eugene Historic Landmark Inventory and this application takes advantage of the eligibility to be governed by a special zoning district in recognition of the site's historic status. The present application facilitates the preservation and reuse of historic resources in compliance with Goal 5. With regard to carrying capacity of land, air, and water resources, the proposed amendment will provide for efficient use of land inside the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary, and will utilize existing facilities and services. The amendment thereby reduces pressure for development on the urban fringe and reduces the potential need to expand the UGB and impact surrounding land, air, and water resources. The proposed amendment will not impact the ability of the city to meet the carrying capacity of the land, air, and water resources within its jurisdiction. Based on these findings, the proposed amendment is consistent with the guidelines contained in Goal 5. Goal 6: Air, Water, and Land Resource Quality- To maintain, and improve the quality of the air, water, and land resources of the state. The proposed amendment relates to the provision of special zoning regulations for a historic resource and will not alter existing policy related to air, water, or land resource quality. Nevertheless, the proposed amendment complies with Statewide Planning Goal 6 by providing for efficient use of resources inside the Eugene city limits. These findings demonstrate that the proposed amendment will comply with Statewide Planning Goal 6. 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 29
