inventory can be given in this document. In order to assess the cumulative impact to the buildable lands inventory of all the amendments, including those in this ordinance along with those on sites H2 and HG, this analysis assumes that none of the wetlands being designated on Sites H2 and HG would be available for development. For the Site HG (Hyundai), this amounts to 54.6 acres of wetland designated for campus industrial (special light industrial) use. On Site H2, most of the wetlands are already designated in the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. For the purposes of this analysis, only those wetlands proposed to be designated or re- designated are included (as opposed to the entire site). This amounts to 7.7 acres of wetland designated for medium density residential, 14.3 acres of wetland designated for high density residential, 19.1 acres of wetland designated for light medium industrial, and 4.8 acres of wetland designated for commercial. Assuming that all of the wetlands on these sites are unavailable for development, allows this analysis to conclude, no matter how much of those two sites is designated for protection or restoration, whether sufficient land remains in the buildable lands inventory. Goal 9 - Economic Development The purpose of Goal 9 is to provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, wealth, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. Findings: Industrial Lands: The Metropolitan Industrial Lands Special Study, including both the Inventory Report and the Policy Report, describes the long-term supply and demand for industrial lands metro-wide. In 1992, these documents were approved by the Eugene City Council, the Springfield City Council and the Lane County Board of Commissioners. According to the data and findings contained in these reports (as of January 1, 1989), there were approximately 3,600 acres of buildable industrial land in the Metro area. I This figure is broken down into separate industrial land use categories in the "Buildable Acres" table below. The twenty-year demand projection for buildable industrial land was between 650 and 1,172 acres.2 Wetland designation changes to protection or restoration included in this ordinance would decrease the available inventory of industrial land by 57.8 acres (see Table 2 below). Wetland designation changes from protection or restoration to development would make available 2.2 acres of inventoried industrial land that were formerly unavailable for development (see Table 1).
