comprehensive plan. Goal 12 requires a determination of whether the proposed Post Acknowledgment Plan Amendment (PAPA) will significantly impact an existing or planned transportation facility. The applicant prepared a impacts of the proposed text amendment to allow transportation facilities. The analysis for the PAPA compared the reasonable worst case scenario under the existing plan designations and zoning to a reasonable worst case scenario under the proposed plan designation and zoning. City staff concurred with the scope of the study, and the analysis is consistent with the agreed upon scope of work. The analysis and technical findings set forth in showed a decline in the number of PM peak hour trips associated with a development that includes a transit station. Overall, the reasonable worst case scenario analysis found the existing zoning (C-2) could produce 67 PM peak hour trips. The reasonable worst case scenario with inclusion of a transit station is 49 PM peak hour trips (a reduction of 18 vehicle trips). found If the proposed Park and Ride Transit Station use is developed consistent with the specific text amendment that allows the use, it will reduce the intensity of the land use in terms of potential motor vehicle trips generated by the site when compared to the potential for a retail commercial land use developed in place of as the alternate.In summary, the Transportation Planning Rule is satisfied under Goal 12 criteria with the proposed refinement plan amendment since the change in use permission does not represent an increase in potential build-out development level trip generation. Public Works staff also found that the proposed amendment neither changes the functional classification of a transportation facility nor changes the standards implementing a functional classification under subsections (a) or (b) of OAR 660-012-0060. Furthermore, the proposal will not result in any of the impacts listed in subsection (c) of OAR 660-012-0060. The cumulative result of the refinement plan amendment text change is no significant impact to the proposed or planned transportation system, and the existing transportation system has adequate capacity to serve the reasonable worst case development scenario (a transit station and commercial development). Based on the above findings, the text amendment to allow transit facilities is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12. Goal 13 - Energy Conservation. To conserve energy. The amendment does not impact energy conservation. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 13 does not apply. The applicant also asserts that policies and implementing provisions and does not state requirements with respect to other types of land use decisions. To the extent that Goal 13 could be applied to the proposed amendment, the amendment is consistent with Goal 13. The proposed site is located so that a future development can make efficient use of energy with direct and efficient access. Therefore, the proposal is consistent Goal 14 - Urbanization. To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. Findings - 6
