designation was proposed from one non-developable category to another (e.g., from "protect" to "restore," or from "restore" to "Planned Transportation Corridor") . 7. On Site H2, the acreage removed from the buildable lands inventory was larger than the wetland acreage designated, due to non-wetland areas surrounded by wetland designated for protection or restoration. These areas would be rendered unbuildable since they are either too small to develop or because there would be no possible access to them. The estimated additional reductions for this site were calculated as 0.3 acres for industrial land, 1.6 acres for medium density residential land and 1.2 acres for high density residential land. These acreages are incorporated into the tables attached, and reflected in the findings below. 8. Additional wetland sites were designated in two separate ordinances. In order to assess the cumulative impact to the buildable lands inventory of all the amendments, including those in this ordinance along with those in the other two ordinances, their impacts must be accounted for. Both of these ordinances were adopted previously, and the buildable lands impact analysis for those ordinances are referenced below. 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 as a part of amendments included in this Metropolitan Industrial Lands Inventory Report, Lane Council of Governments, 125 East 8th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon, 97401, July 1993, p.73. 2 Ibid., p.73.
