<br />To comply with Goal 9 the Eugene City Council adopted the Eugene Commercial Lands Study <br />(ECLS) in May 1992, updated in October 1992. The ECLS was subsequently acknowledged by <br />LCDC as conforming to the Metro Plan and Goal 9 during periodic review in 1994. <br /> <br />OAR 660-009-0010(4) does not apply in this situation because the changes proposed by this <br />application will remove less than two acres from the supply of land designated for commercial <br />use. <br /> <br />Goal] () - Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. <br /> <br />Response: <br />Goal 10 requires buildable lands for residential use to be inventoried and requires plans to <br />encourage the availability of adequate numbers of needed housing units at price ranges and rent <br />levels commensurate with the fInancial capabilities of Oregon households. Oregon <br />Administrative Rule 660, Division 8 defines standards for compliance with Goal 10. OAR 660- <br />008-0010 requires that: <br /> <br />'(SlffJicient buildable land shall be designated on the comprehensive plan map to sati4y <br />housing need,; by type and density range as determined in the housing need., projection. <br />The local buildable lands inventory must document the amount of buildable land in each <br />residential plan designation. " <br /> <br />The comprehensive plan map for the City of Eugene is the Metro Plan Diagranl. Approval of the <br />applicant's proposL>d. amendments changing approximately 7.3 acres from Low Density <br />Residential to Commercial and 1.3 acres from Commercial to Meditml Density Residential on <br />the Metro Plan Diagram requires compliance with statewide planning Goal 10, Housing (OAR <br />660, Division 8). (The change will have a net effect of adding 6.0 acres to the commercial <br />designation while removing 7.3 acres of Low Density Residential and adding 1.3 acres of <br />Medium Density Residential.) The Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendment (PAPA) is <br />consistent with the parts of the Metro Plan which address the requirements ofOoal10, as will be <br />shown below. Using Metro area average densities of developed properties the table below shows <br />that the proposed impact of the amendments will be insignificant when considering a comparison <br />of the total number of likely dwelling units for the plan designation and! or zoning type. <br /> <br />Table 2: Proposal Impact on Potential Dwelling Unit Totals <br /> <br />Development - Average <br />Designation Density* <br />SFR - LDR 4.4 <br />MFR.

The RLS was acknowledged by the state Land Conservation and <br />Development Commission as being consistent with Goal 10. The purpose of the RLS was to <br />compare residential land needs with available land supply. The analysis does not require buildout <br />of particular densities or numbers of units on specifIC sites or within the metro area as a whole. <br /> <br />Santa Clara - Refinement Plan Amendment Application <br />Written Statement - August 2, 2007 <br /> <br />Page 15 of 44 <br />
