City of Eugene - Johansen-Moody House Page 12 Code Amendment/Zone Change: Creation of Historic Special Area Zone Satre Associates, P.C. September 17, 2004 State. The property is not identified as necessary in any adopted recreation plan. 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 investment in the lower River Road neighborhood. 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 Housing Element of the Eugene Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan was updated in accordance with the periodic review requirements contained in ORS 197.296. The 1999 update concluded that there is an adequate supply of buildable residential land within the existing urban growth boundary to meet the future housing needs of the projected population.~ The present amendment does not propose redesignation of lands currently designated residential on the Metro Plan diagram. Because the land included within the proposed SAZ is currently developed with a residential structure and is only .20 acres in size, it is not considered "buildable land" currently available for residential development2. The applicant notes that the parcel was not identified as buildable in the 1999 Residential Lands Site Inventory. Conversion of this small residential parcel to Historic Special Area Zone, with potential for residential and small scale commercial uses, will not have a significant impact on the city's buildable residential land supply. Therefore, the proposed amendment meets the requirements of Goal 10. Goal I1- Public Facilities: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Goal 11 is implemented through the Eugene-Springfield Public Facilities Plan, a functional component of the Metro Plan. The Johansen-Moody house is currently served ~ Metro Plan RLUHE Finding 4, Page III-A-2. 2 Buildable Residential Land: Land in urban and urbanizable areas that is mitable, available, and necessary for residential uses. Buildable land includes both vacant land and developed land likely to be redeveloped. (Metro Plan Chapter III-A, Part II) 30
