The proposal is found to be consistent with approval criteria at EC 9.8424(2) and EC 9.8424(1). Findings relative to the amendment criteria (with criteria in bold italics) are presented below. Consistencv with EC 9.8424(1) EC 9.8424(1) requires that the refinement plan amendment be consistent with all of the following: (a) Statewide planning goals; (b) Applicable provisions of the Metro Plan (c) Remaining portions of the refinement plan. The proposal is not found to be consistent with refinement plan amendment criteria in EC 9.8424(1). Staff findings relative to the amendment criteria (with criteria in bold italics) are presented below. A. Consistency with Statewide Planning Goals 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. In its land use code, the City has State-acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement that ensure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and that set out requirements for such involvement. The proposed action does not amend these citizen involvement provisions. The process for reviewing the proposed amendment complies with Goal 1 since it complies with, and surpasses the requirements of, the State-acknowledged citizen involvement provisions. The City of Eugene land use code implements Statewide Planning Goal 1 by requiring that notice of proposed amendments be given and public hearings be held prior to adoption. Consideration of the amendments begins with a City of Eugene Planning Commission public hearing on August 14,2007. On December 12, 2006, the City mailed notice of the proposed plan amendments and zone change to the Department of Land Conservation and Development, as required by the Eugene Code and in accordance with State statutes. Referral comments were requested on June 8, 2007. Referrals were sent to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), City of Springfield, Lane County, the Cal Young Neighborhood Association and to City departments, consistent with the Eugene Code.
