non-office use, though a percentage of it can be assumed available for non-office commercial. U sing only the 465 acres explicitly denoted in the Commercial Lands Study, after subtracting the 4.8 acres removed by protection of wetlands in these amendments, 460.2 acres are left, which is 37.2 acres more than the projected demand for this category. Given a supply of commercial land greater than the projected demand for all commercial and non-office commercial after the reductions associated with these amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan, the amendments leave an adequate supply of commercial land within the Urban Growth Boundary for the 20-year planning period. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 9 with respect to commercial land. The amendments previously adopted for Site HG would not remove any additional acres from the commercial buildable lands inventory. The wetland designations previously adopted through the "multiple sites" ordinance removed a total of 5.3 acres of available commercial land. Together with the reductions from amendments included in this ordinance, these designations would bring the total reduction in buildable commercial land from all three ordinances to 10 acres. This would leave 692 acres of buildable commercial land, which represents a supply that is 160 acres more than the maximum projected twenty-year demand for 523 acres of commercial land. Therefore, no matter how much wetland on Site HG is designated for Protection or Restoration, after all of the amendments are adopted, there will be sufficient buildable commercial land remaining to meet the projected 20-year demand. Goal 1 0 -Housing The purpose of Goal 10 is to provide for housing needs of the citizens of the state. Findings: The Metropolitan Area General Plan. as amended by Ordinance No. 20159 on July 12, 1999, includes a summary analysis of the supply and demand for residential lands within the Eugene- Springfield Urban Growth Boundary. According to the summary table ("Supply and Demand Analysis in Acres"), there were 5,802 acres of vacant, buildable residential land in the Metro area in 1999. The twenty-year demand projection for vacant, buildable residential land was between 3,968 and 5,040 acres. Wetland designation changes to protection or restoration as a part of the amendments included in this ordinance would, in effect, decrease the available inventory of residential land by 24.8 acres. This represents a reduction in the overall supply of inventoried residential lands by 0.4010, leaving 5,777 acres of inventoried residential land. This represents a supply of that is 737 acres beyond the maximum projected twenty-year demand of 5,040 acres. Given the remaining supply of residential land, and given the minor impact associated with these amendments to the overall supply, these amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10. The cumulative buildable land impact of all the amendments can be calculated by adding in the Speedway Site Ordinance, Exhibit B (Statewide Planning Goal Findings) Page 10
