Goal 12 - Transportation: <br />To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and <br />economic transportation system. <br /> <br />Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR, OAR 660-12). <br />TransPlan provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is enacted at the local <br />level. <br /> <br />The code amendments will not significantly affect any transportation facility. The level of <br />development currently permitted through existing code and zoning regulations will remain the <br />same. No change in the functional classification of streets will result from these amendments. In <br />addition, no changes are proposed to the standards that implement the functional classification <br />system. <br /> <br />The /ND Nodal Development Metro Plan Diagram overlay designation has been applied to the <br />entire Downtown Plan area. This designation identifies the Downtown Plan area as a nodal <br />development, transit-oriented/pedestrian district, in further compliance with the State <br />Transportation Planning Rule. Well designed mixed-use developments at higher densities which <br />encourage transit use are particularly desired in this area. <br /> <br />The amendments do not affect the /ND designation. The code amendment to lower the required <br />Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.0 to .65 does not prevent higher density projects. This <br />amendment would support and facilitate desired downtown area development by reducing the <br />amount of FAR required outside of the downtown core area but within the /TD Transit Oriented <br />Development Overlay Zone. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with statewide planning <br />Goal 12. <br /> <br /> Goal 13 - Energy Conservation: <br />To conserve energy. <br /> <br />The code amendments do not specifically impact energy conservation, except to encourage <br />compact urban development within the downtown area. This amendment is consistent with <br />Statewide Planning Goal 13. <br /> <br /> Goal 14 - Urbanization: <br /> To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural <br />to urban land use. <br /> <br />No property is being converted from rural to urban land use. For all the properties affected by <br />these amendments, all necessary urban services are in place. Therefore, the code amendments <br />are consistent with statewide planning Goal 14. <br /> <br /> Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway: <br />To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain <br />the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of <br />lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. <br /> <br />The Willamette Greenway area within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary is governed by <br />existing local provisions which have been acknowledged as complying with Goal 15. Those <br />provisions are unchanged by this ordinance. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with <br />Exhibit A - 5 <br /> <br />
