<br />comprehensive plan, and a proposed zone change does not affect that inventory, a local <br />government is not required to consider whether the property should be included on that <br />inventory. The same logic is rightly applied here. <br /> <br />Secondly, addressing OAR 660-023-250(3)(b): Tbe changes sought by this application will not <br />allow new uses that could conflict with a significant Goal 5 resource site. Thereare no Goal 5 <br />resources on the site itself. None of the various studies, inventories, refinement plans, and <br />facilities plans has listed this specific site in an adopted inventory, declared it a significant <br />resource, applied a Goal 5 resource overlay, or otherwise regulated or limited the redevelopment <br />of the site as a Goal 5 resource. <br /> <br />Natural Resources are addressed in the City of Eugene Goal 5: Inventory and Water Resources <br />Conservation Plan, 2005 which fulfills the State of Oregon's Goal 5 requirement for local <br />governments to protect significant riparian corridors, upland wildlife habitat and wetlands. The <br />subject site is not included in any of the plan's inventory maps or tables, nor has it been <br />designated with a Waterside Protection (lWP) or Water Resources Conservation (/WR) Overlay <br />Zone. <br /> <br />J3ecause the changes proposed by the application do not create or amend any portion of an <br />acknowledged plan, or any code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 <br />resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, all of these safeguards will remain in <br />effect. <br /> <br />Lastly, addressing OAR 660-023-250(3)(c): The changes sought by this application do not <br />amend the acknowledged Urban GrO\vth Boundary. <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br />Oregon Administrative Rule 660-023-0250 "Applicability" stipulates that local governments are <br />n..-quired to apply Goal 5 when considering Post Acknowledgment Plan Amendments if the <br />amendment affects a Goal 5 resource. For the purposes of that rule, the section lists three <br />circumstances (OAR 660-023-0250(3)(a), (b), and (c) quoted above) under which, and only <br />under which, a Post Acknowledgment Plan Amendment would affect a Goal 5 resource. As <br />evidenced above, none of the three circumstances are raised by the proposed amendments, and <br />therefore the amendments will not affect a Goal 5 resource. The City of Eugene is not required <br />to apply Goal 5 when considering the consistency of the proposal. The City of Eugene can find <br />that the action requested by this application is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 5. <br /> <br />Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the <br />air, 'water and land resources of the state. <br /> <br />Response: <br />Nothing in the proposal or the character of the site or potential uses indicates a future <br />development that would compromise air, water and land resources. Future development of the <br />site will be in conformance with local, state and federal law' including aspects of the Eugene <br />Code. The subject site is not within the Natural Resource Overlay Zone (lWR) or the Waterside <br />Protection Overlay Zone (IWP).
