The Metropolitan Industrial Lands Special Study (1991) addresses the industrial land supply. Lands considered available for industrial uses are typically those which have an Industrial plan designation. The subject site does not have an Industrial designation, and has been zoned Commercial since 1992. Therefore, the proposed plan amendment would have no effect on the supply of available industrial land as predicted by the Industrial Lands Special Study. Based on this, the proposed amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land for needed housing units. The property affected by the proposed amendments was designated in the 1992 Willakenzie Area Plan as commercial, and was not included in the supply ofland available for residential development, as documented in the adopted 1999 Residential Lands and Housing Study (Ordinance No. 20159, 1999). Therefore, changing the land use designation from residential uses will not affect the adopted residential lands inventory. A refinement plan amendment and subsequent zone change to C-2/Community Commercial could provide opportunities to add to the housing supply, by accommodating high density residential development. Based on fact that the amendment would have no effect on the adopted residential land supply, the proposed amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10. Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services: 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. The subject parcels are located within a partially developed commercial area. Adequate access to the City's stormwater system, public wastewater lines, water and power are available to the site. The existing level of public facilities and service is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future development. The provision of this amendment does not affect the planning or development of future public facilities or services. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Goal 12 - Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Several streets border the site affected by the proposed amendments. Those streets are Crescent A venue to the north; Chad Drive to the south; and Suzanne Way, connecting Crescent and Chad, and Coburg Road to the west. Crescent A venue is classified as a Minor Arterial, and Chad Drive as a Maj or Collector on the City of Eugene Street Classification Map, adopted in 1999. Suzanne Way is a private street. All streets are fully improved. Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0000, et seq. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is implemented at the local level. The TPR states that when land use changes, including amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans, significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility, the local government must put in place measures to assure that the allowed land uses are consistent with the function, capacity and performance standards of those transportation facilities. Pursuant to OAR 660-012-0060(1), the TPR requires a determination of which transportation facilities will experience a significant effect as a result of the proposed plan amendment, and defines what constitutes a significant effect. A plan amendment is considered to significantly affect a transportation facility if, for example, the amendment will reduce the performance of the transportation facility below Summer Oab;-Crcscent ('(:nler - r:indings, S(>ptembcr! 7,2007 Page 4 of 19
