designed to direct urban growth toward urbanizable areas and avoid unnecessary expan- sion of the UGB. Therefore, the revisions to TransPlan and the Metro Plan amendments comply with Goal 14. Goal 15-Willamette River Greenway: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the WiUamette River Greenway. The revisions to TransPlan and amendments to Metro Plan text protect and maintain the scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River. The proposals to adopt revisions to TransPlan and amend the Metro Plan text will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 15. At the time the 1986 TransPlan was adopted, a new policy 13 was added to the Metro Plan Willamette River Greenway River Corridors and Waterways Element to state that the taking of an excep- tion shall be required if a non-water dependent transportation facility requires placing of fill within the Willamette River Greenway. The widening of Beltline, River Road to Delta Highway (Project 506) including widening or replacement of the Willamette River bridges on Belt1ine, acknowledged as part of the 1986 TransPlan (as Project 201), is sub- ' ject to that policy. All TransPlan projects will meet applicable Willamette Greenway protection measures. Therefore, the revisions to TransPlan and the Metro Plan amend- ments comply with Goal 15 Goals 16-19: There are no estuarine resources, coastal shorelands, beaches and dunes or ocean re- sources located within the Metro Plan boundary. Therefore, these goals are not applica- ble. Conclusion: '. Based on the above findings and supporting nlaterial in the record, we fmd that the pro- posed revisions to TransPlan and amendments to the Metro Plan text are consistent with the statewide planning goals.
