The Metro Plan Diagram amendments in the Springfield UGB do not significantly affect resources subject to Goal 5 because the Diagram amendments make no change in the number of acres of land designated Natural Resource. Therefore, the Metro Plan Diagram amendments in the Springfield UGB do not affect consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 5. The following findings of consistency with Goal 5 pertain to amendments to Metro Plan Chapter III-C. Oregon Administrative Rule (OAt( 660, Division 23) requires local governments to inventory and evaluate Goal 5 resources and to develop land use programs to conserve and protect Goal 5 resources identified for protection. Lane County, Springfield, and Eugene jointly completed the Goal 5 requirements in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR 660, Division 23) for wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife habitat for the area between the UGB and the Metro Plan boundary and the amendments implement the Goal 5 requirements. The amendments document the Goal 5 process, update text in the Metro Plan, and direct the use of adopted inventory maps to identify significant resources for purposes of considering protection measures specified in the amendments. Lane County addressed the Goal 5 requirements in effect at the time of applying Metro Plan designations, zoning, or permitting mineral and aggregate operations outside the UGB, including addressing potential conflicts with inventoried wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife habitat. The permitting process of the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) will require necessary and adequate protections for inventoried wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife habitat for these existing operations. Future Metro Plan amendment, rezoning, or permitting processes for new mineral and aggregate operations not already authorized or permitted will be subject to applicable requirements of Goal 5 and DOGAMI regulations. Therefore, the amendments to Metro Plan Chapter III-C are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 5. Goal 6 Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. The Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, and the Metro Plan Diagram make no changes to policies or designations affecting air, water and land resources quality. Therefore, the Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter HI-C amendments, and new Metro Plan Diagram do not affect Metro Plan consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 6. Goal 7--Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: Toprotect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Exhibit D: Findings in Support of Adopting Ordinance for the Eugene-Springfield Page 7 of 15 Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan) Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, and the Metro Plan Diagram.
