The following findings of consistency with Goal 14 pertain to the Metro Plan Diagram amendments to remove Urban Reserves: The existing underlying Metro Plan Diagram designation for urban reserves will not change. These diagram amendments are required because, based on the information and conclusions in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Urban Reserve Analysis and Alternatives Report, June 2001, the existing Urban Reserves are not in compliance with OAR 660 Division 21. These amendments are proposed to complete the Urban Reserve Work Task in the Periodic Review Work Program. The Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area Urban Reserve Analysis and Alternatives Report, June 2001, was prepared during the first phase of this work task. The report evaluates existing and alternative urban reserve areas within the context of the OAR and concludes that, due to the construction of the administrative rule, the current and alternative areas do not meet the requirements of the rule. Therefore, the amendments comply with Statewide Planning Goal 14.
