The City of Eugene Parks Department provides park and recreational facilities in Eugene and the Willamalane Park and Recreation District provides this service in Springfield. In Springfield, none of the Metro Plan Diagram amendments affect Parks and Open Space designations. Therefore, the Metro Plan Diagram amendments do not affect consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 8. Goal 9--Economic Development: To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, andprosperity of Oregon's citizens. The Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions make no substantive changes to policies or findings in the Metro Plan affecting economic development. The revisions clarify the intent of existing adopted policy. The Metro Plan Chapter III-C makes no changes to policies or findings in the Metro Plan affecting economic development. Therefore, the Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions and Metro Plan Chapter III-C do not affect Metro Plan consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 9. The following findings of consistency with Goal 9 pertain to the Metro Plan Diagram Amendments. The Metro Plan Diagram updates in the Eugene UGB better reflect adopted refinement plans, zoning actions, and development approvals, which have already been through a goal analysis and acknowledged by DLCD. Therefore, the amendments will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 9. The Metro Plan Diagram amendments to remove Urban Reserves do not change adopted policies or land supply related to Goal 9 because the underlying Plan designation is retained and the areas lie outside the UGB. Therefore, the amendments will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 9. The Metro Plan Diagram amendments in Springfield UGB will have no impact on the adopted buildable commercial and industrial lands inventories. Approximately 4.25 acres of land designated "Commercial" on the Metro Plan Diagram are proposed to be re-designated "Low Density Residential." The affected property is a developed residential neighborhood zoned "Low Density Residential." The proposed Metro Plan amendment will make the Plan designation consistent with the zone designation and existing character of the neighborhood. This property was not part of Springfield's inventory of vacant commercial land. Therefore, the Metro Plan Diagram amendments in the Springfield UGB will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 9. Goal 10---Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Exhibit D: Findings in Support of Adopting Ordinance for the Eugene-Springfield Page 9 of 15 Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan) Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, and the Metro Plan Diagram.
