consent of the City of Eugene. Based on the above findings and approval condition as imposed, the proposal is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12. Goal 13 ~ Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. Statewide Planning Goal 13 calls for land uses to be managed and controlled "so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles." Goal 13 is directed at the development of local energy policies and implementing provisions and does not state requirements with respect to other types of land use decisions. To the extent that Goal 13 could be applied to the proposed change in designation, the designation is consistent with Goal 13. The proposed site is located so that a future development can make et11cient use of energy with direct and efficient access. The proposal is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 13. Goal 14 ~ Urbanization: To provide for an orderZv and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments do not efIect the transition from rural to urban land use, as the subject property is within the City limits. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 14 does not apply. Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway: To protect, conserve, enhance and nwintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the W"illamette River Greenway. The subject property is not within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. Therefore, Statevvide Planning Goal 15 does not apply. Goal 16 through 19 - Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean Resources: There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources related t.o the property effected by these amendments. Therefore, these goals are not relevant and the an1cndments will not affect compliance with Statewide Planning Goals 16 through 19.
