<br />"standard: a written objective condition, which if met by a site, automatically determines <br />the wetland designation to be applied." <br /> <br />"criteria, criterion: a written measure of character or quality, which is considered <br />together with all other criteria to make a wetland designation decision on sites which do <br />not meet any of the standards." <br /> <br />3.17 The following standards and criteria shall be used to designate newly identified <br />wetland sites or portions of sites (i. e., undesignated wetlands within the West <br />Eugene Wetlands Plan boundaries) for protection, development or restoration on <br />the Wetlands Designation Map (Map 3) of the West Eugene Wetland Plan. These <br />standards and criteria provide the framework for maintaining a balance within <br />the plan area between environmental protection and sound urban development, <br />consistent with state and federal wetland law. <br /> <br />For each site or portion of a site, designations shall be based upon either 1) <br />finding that the site meets at least one of the standards, or 2) a thorough <br />consideration of how all the criteria apply to the site. A wetland site need not <br />meet all of the criteria for a given designation in order to be given that <br />designation. The restoration designation shall be used to identify sites considered <br />important primarily for their location and function in the larger wetland system, <br />and the restoration criteria shall be applied when a site does not clearly meet <br />either the protection or development standards or the protection or development <br />criteria as a whole. <br /> <br />Protection <br /> <br />Standard <br />1. Sites designated "Natural Resource" on the Metropolitan Area General <br />Plan diagram shall be designated for protection. <br /> <br />No part of this site is designated "Natural Resource" on the Metro Plan diagram. This <br />site does not meet this standard. <br /> <br />Criteria <br />1. Site contains population(s) of one or more rare plant or animal species <br />and contains sufficient and suitable habitat for the long-term protection of <br />the population(s). This criterion is not met if only small occurrences of a <br />species are found on a site with limited suitable habitat that is isolated <br />from other undeveloped parcels. <br /> <br />This site contains known populations of Lomatium bradshawii, Erigeron decumbens var. <br />decumbens and Horkelia congesta, all within 1,000 feet of the eastern property line.
