The Lane Code and the Eugene Code do not contain specific criteria regarding the consideration of a PAPA proposing to add a site to the Metro Plan’s acknowledged list of significant aggregate sites and have not been amended to conform to the requirements of the Goal 5 Rule through periodic review. Therefore, only the provisions of the Goal 5 Rule are directly applicable to Eugene and Lane County’s consideration of this application. Metro Plan goals and policies and land use regulations of Lane County and the City of Eugene are not applicable to this application. 9.0CONCLUSION We find that this application to amend the Metro Plan to designate the subject property as Sand and Gravel and include the subject property in the Metro Plan Goal 5 Significant Aggregate Site Inventory and to change the zoning of it to Sand, Gravel & Rock Products demonstrates that all applicable criteria have been addressed and met. We further find that this application demonstrates that the proposed amendments are consistent with applicable Statewide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules implementing those Goals.
