"A plan or land use regulation amendment signfficantly a/jects a transportationfacilitY!l it would: (a) Change the functional classijication of an existing or planned transportation facility (exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan); (b) Change standardy implementing afimctional classffication system; or (c) As measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted transportation system plan: (A) Allow land uses or levels o.ldevelopment that would result in types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classffication of an existing or planned transportation facility; (B) Reduce the perf(Jrmance of an existing or planned transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identtfied in the TSP or comprehensive plan; or (C) Worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance standard ident{fied in the TSP or comprehensive plan. " With regard to OAR 660-012-0060(l)(a) and (b), the proposed plan amendments would not change the functional classification of any transportation facility, nor would they change the standards for implementing a functional classification system. Therefore, no facilities are significantl y affected. under these definitions. With regard to OAR660-012-0060(1)(c)(A), the proposed plan amendments would not allow types or levels of uses which would result in levels of travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional classitication of a transportation facility. The policies of the City (~f Eugene Alunicipal Code, "Chapter 9: Land Use,"and the TransPlan establish the requested plan designation as appropriate to the classification of the streets serving the site. Specific requirements for access to those streets will be determined through Site Plan reviews and approved only upon demonstration of compliance with the provisions of the acknowledged comprehensive and implementing regulations. Therefore, no facilities are significantly affected under this defmition. With regard to OAR 660-0 12-0060(l)(c)(B) and (C), a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) evaluating the performance of existing and planned facilities as a result of the development proposed by this application has been performed. That TIA is submitted concurrently with this plan amendment (Attachment I) and the findings of that analysis are hereby incorporated by reference. Impact Analysis: With regard to OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(B), although the River Road at Green Lane intersection, a facility within the scope of the study, is projected to operate below the performance standard in the plan year, it will not do so as a result of the proposed PAPA.
