To establish a land use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions.

Goal 2 requires that plans be coordinated with the plans of affected governmental units and that opportunities be provided for review and comment by affected governmental units.

These amendments do not affect any other governmental units. There are no Goal 2 exceptions required for these amendments. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 2. Goal 3 - Af!ricultural Lands. To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. The amendments apply to property located within the urban growth boundary and do not affect any land designated for agricultural use. Therefore, Goal 3 does not apply.
