<br />The proposal to adopt revisions to TransPlan and amend the Metro Plan text will not re- <br />sult in significant construction or alteration of property within the floodway or the flood- <br />plain. Depending on the final alignment of certain projects some road and bridge con- <br />struction may occur in areas within the floodway or floodplain subject to Goal 7. Any <br />construction of roadways or bridges, including the repair or improvement of existing <br />bridges and roadways, will be done in a manner consistent with applicable local, state and <br />federal regulations to assure that alterations have no negative effect on flooding or flood <br />risks. Therefore, the revisions to TransPlan and the Metro Plan amendments comply with <br />Goal 7. <br /> <br />Goal8-Recreational Needs: To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the <br />state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recrea- <br />tional facilities including destination resorts. <br /> <br />The proposals to adopt revisions to TransPlan and amend the Metro Plan text include <br />policies to: (1) promote a regional roadway system that meets combined needs for travel <br />through, within and outside the region (Transportation System Improvements (TSI), <br />Roadway Policy #3); (2) support public investment in the Eugene Airport (TSI, Other <br />Modes Policy #1); (3) support provision of rail-related infrastructure improvements (TSI, <br />Other Modes Policy #2); and (4) support improvements to the passenger rail station and <br />inter-city bus terminals (TSI, Other Modes Policy #3). These policies are among those <br />that support access to recreational facilities within the Metro Plan area and to recreational <br />opportunities outside the area. Construction of the proposed transportation projects will <br />make recreational facilities more available wifuout an unacceptable increase in vehicle <br />miles traveled or congestion. Therefore, the revisions to TransPlan and the Metro Plan <br />amendments comply with Goal 8. <br /> <br />Goal 9-Economic Development: To provide adequate opportunities throughout the <br />state for a yariety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of <br />Oregon ~ citizens. <br /> <br />The proposals to adopt revisions to TransPlan and amend the Metro Plan text are directed <br />toward enhancing the economic opportunity available within the Eugene-Springfield area <br />by assuring adequate public facilities and infrastructure to provide a transportation system <br />that is efficient, safe, interconnected and economically viable and fiscally stable. Adop- <br />tion of the policies related to nodal development will open new economic opportunities. <br />Adoption of policies relating to goods movement will further the goal of using the public <br />facilities infrastructure to support responsible economic development. Therefore, the re- <br />visions to TransPlan and the Metro Plan amendments comply with Goal 9. <br /> <br />GoallO-Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. <br /> <br />The proposed revision to TransPlan and Metro Plan land use policies related to nodal de- <br />velopment and transit-supportive land use patterns and development (Land Use Policies <br /> <br />Exhibit C <br />Findings in Support of the Adoption of TransPlan <br /> <br />11 <br />
