between the University and community representatives about the physical design and <br /> development of the campus and surrounding areas. <br /> <br />Based on these findings, the amendments will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. <br /> <br />Refinement Plan Amendments Eugene Code Section 9.8424 requires that the following <br />criteria (in bold and italic) be applied to a refinement Plan amendment. <br /> <br />(1)(a) The refinement plan amendment is consistent with the Statewide planning goals. <br /> <br /> Goals 1 through 9. Refer to findings for goals 1 through 9 related to Comprehensive Plan <br /> Diagram amendment criteria in EC 9.7730(3), above. <br /> <br /> Goal 10. The land affected by these amendments was not included in the area's <br /> documented supply of"buildable land" that is available for residential development. The <br /> methodology used to develop the acknowledged 1999 Residential Lands Study excluded <br /> vacant land owned by a public agency and not intended for residential development from <br /> consideration as "buildable land". Publicly owned land is generally not considered <br /> available for residential use. The State Board of Higher Education owns 113 of the 122 <br /> parcels located within the affected area. Nine parcels remain in private ownership. Of <br /> the nine privately-owned parcels, four parcels are in the area proposed for re-designation <br /> to another land use classification. The four parcels total .51 acres in size. <br /> <br /> Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable <br /> residential land for needed housing units. The Metropolitan Area General Plan - <br /> Residential Land and Housing Element implements Goal 10 by providing background <br /> data and analysis, findings and policies related to the provision of residential lands inside <br /> the urban growth boundary. With the adoption of the 1999 Residential Lands Study, the <br /> following finding was incorporated into the Metro Plan: <br /> <br /> "There is sufficient buildable residential land within the existing urban growth <br /> boundary to meet the future housing needs of the projected population. In fact, the <br /> 1992 residential buildable land supply exceeds the 1992-2015 residential land <br /> demand in all residential categories. Assuming land is consumed evenly over the <br /> period, by 1999, there will be at least a 20 year supply of residential land <br /> remaining inside the urban growth boundary" <br /> <br /> Goals 11 through 19. Refer to findings, above, for goals 11 through 19 related to <br /> Comprehensive Plan Diagram amendment criteria in EC 9.7730(3). <br /> <br /> 12 <br /> <br /> City Council Agenda page 246 <br /> <br /> <br />
