primarily on consistency with the goals and policies in the Metropolitan Area General Plan and the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. Most of the Utility Corridor sites were identified based upon information submitted to the City following the Planning Commission review. These new Utility Corridor sites have either been added to an existing proposed amendment, or given a new amendment number (a number followed by a letter). A. Background Information In the text below, each amendment will be referred to by number only, as numbered in Exhibit A. Exhibit A contains maps showing the proposed amendments. Exhibit A also describes in narrative form the proposed changes to the wetland designations map. These items are numbered and listed in Exhibit A in alpha-numeric order by site name. The numbers assigned to each amendment are the same as those used throughout the amendment process since 1996. New sites and some of the newly identified Utility Corridor amendments have been given site labels with a number followed by a letter (e.g., 39a). B. Analysis of Proposed Amendments Against Approval Criteria Section 9.145 of the Eugene Code gives the criteria used to determine whether a proposed plan amendment should be approved or not. The proposed amendments must be consistent with the criteria in section 9.145 to be approved. Section 9.14S (2) "The planning commission shall review the proposed amendment and receive evidence, and decide whether the proposed change is consistent with the following approval criteria: (a) The plan amendment is consistent with the Metropolitan Area General Plan;" Findings: The Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan) diagram designates the affected properties for a variety of land uses including heavy industrial, light-medium industrial, special light industrial, commercial, high density residential, medium density residential, low density residential and agriculture. Metropolitan Plan designations for each affected tax lot are given in a separate document entitled "Affected Properties (all ordinances)." Where apparent conflicts exist between Metro Plan policy and the Metro Plan diagram, the text prevails. The analysis here relies primarily on the text of the Metro Plan. Eighteen of these proposed amendments would designate all or a portion of a site for Protection or Restoration. These are shown in Table 1 below (see key following table for Metro Plan Designation abbreviations.) Table 1 Multiple Site Ordinance, Exhibit C (Refinement Plan Amendment Findings) Page 3
