<br />Section 9.145 (2)(c) "The plan amendment is foun,d to address one or more of the <br />following: 1. An error in the publication of the plan; <br /> <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br />Section 9.145 (2)(c) 2. "A change of circumstances in a substantial manner not anticipated <br />in the plan"; <br /> <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br />Section 9.145 (2)(c)3. "Incorporation into the plan of new inventory material which relates <br />to a statewide goal; or" <br /> <br />The amendment involving the Hyundai site incorporates new wetland inventory information into <br />the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. Therefore, the amendments meet this criterion. Wetlands relate <br />to Statewide Planning Goal 5. The Goal 5 requirements for this site are addressed through the <br />state Wetland Conservation Plan process rather than through the Goal 5 process, as provided for <br />in ORS 196.684. <br /> <br />Section 9.145 (2)(c) 4. "A change in public policy." <br /> <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br />D. Summary of Consistency with Approval Criteria <br /> <br />The above analysis has shown that the proposed designations for the Hyundai site are consistent <br />with the policies in the Metro Plan and with the applicable policies in the West Eugene Wetlands <br />Plan. It is clear that those policies in both documents that call for supporting economic growth, <br />providing land for industrial expansion, minimizing economic hardship, and minimizing <br />reductions to industrial land supply would be more strongly met if more of the site was allowed <br />to develop. Conversely, the policies that call for protection of wetlands, waterways, wildlife <br />habitat, water quality, rare plant populations and interconnectedness between important habitat <br />features would be more strongly met if more of the site were protected. On balance, the <br />designations for the Hyundai site provide both significant development opportunities and <br />protection of valuable wetlands, and are therefore consistent with the balancing of these values <br />in the goals and policies in the Metro Plan and the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. <br /> <br />Hyundai Site Ordinance, Exhibit C (Refinement Plan Amendment Findings) <br /> <br />Page 27 <br />
