(a) The PAPA creates or amends a resource list or a portion of an acknowledged plan or land use regulation adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5; (b) The PAPA allows new uses that could be conflicting uses with a particular significant Goal 5 resource site on an acknowledged resource list; or (c) The PAPA amends an acknowledged UGB and factual information is submitted demonstrating that a resource site, or the impact areas of such a site, is included in the amended UGB area. The amendments do not create or amend a list of Goal 5 resources, do not amend a plan or code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, do not allow new uses that could be conflicting with a particular significant Goal 5 resource, and do not amend the acknowledged Urban Growth Boundary. Therefore, it is clear that the amendments do not trigger the need to consider Goal 5 pursuant to OAR 660-023-0250(3) (a) (b) or (c). Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, water and land from impacts from those discharges. The intent of the code amendments is to facilitate the dense, mixed-use development desired downtown as indicated in the Downtown Plan. The code amendments do not affect the environmental factors specified in Goal 6 except that a densely developed downtown may support reduced automobile dependence and ultimately lead to less automobile emissions and cleaner air. Therefore, the code amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 6. Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and property from natural hazards such as floods, land slides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis and wildfires. The Goal prohibits a development in natural hazard areas without appropriate safeguards. A portion of the EWEB riverfront property is considered within the flood zone, which will need to be addressed at the time that the EWEB property is master planned, as required by the land use code. The area affected by the code amendments is not otherwise characterized by Goal 7 hazards. Based on these facts, the amendments will not result in development in areas normally associated with natural disaster or the damage and loss of life normally associated therewith. Therefore, the code amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 7. GoalS - Recreational Needs: To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts.
