An additional public hearing before the Eugene City Council will be scheduled following Planning Commission action. Notice to interested and affected parties will be provided for that hearing. The process for adopting this amendment is consistent with Goal 1 since it complies with, and surpasses the requirements of the State's citizen involvement provisions. 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 base for such decisions and actions. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) is the policy tool that provides a basis for decision-making in this area. The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the State in 1982 to be in compliance with statewide planning goals. These findings and the record show that there is an adequate factual base for decisions to be made concerning the proposed amendments. Goal 2 requires that plans be coordinated with the plans of affected governmental units and that opportunities be provided for review and comment by affected governmental units. To comply with the Goal 2 coordination requirement, the City coordinated the review of the proposed amendments with all affected governmental units. Specifically, notice was mailed to the State Department of Land Conservation and Development, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Lane County, and the City of Springfield. There are no Goal 2 exceptions required for this amendment. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2. Goal 3 - Agricultural Land: To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. Goal 3 is not applicable to this amendment as the subject property and actions do not affect any agricultural plan designation or use. Goal 3 excludes lands inside an acknowledged urban growth boundary from the definition of agricultural lands. Since the subject property is entirely within its acknowledged urban growth boundary, Goal 3 is not relevant and the amendment does not affect the area's compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 3. Goal 4 - Forest Land: To conserve forest lands. Goal 4 is not applicable to this amendment as the subject property and actions do not affect any forest plan designation or use. Goal 4 does not apply within urban growth boundaries; therefore it does not apply to the subject property, which is within Eugene's UGB (OAR 660-006-0020). Therefore, Goal 4 is not relevant and the amendment does not affect the area's compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 4. 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 does not require local governments to apply Goal 5 in consideration of a post acknowledgement plan amendment (PAPA) unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. The subject property does not include any Goal 5 resource site. The proposed amendment does not create or Summi:r Oaks-Crescent Center - F'indings, S(>ptcmber 17,2007 Pag(> 2 of 19
