<br />resource only if: <br />(a) The PAPA creates or amends a resource list or a portion of an acknowledged plan <br />or land use regulation adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to <br />address specific requirements of Goal 5; <br />(b) The PAPA allows new uses that could be conflicting uses with a particular <br />significant Goal 5 resource site on an acknowledged resource list; or <br />(c) The PAPA amends an acknowledged UGB and factual information is submitted <br />demonstrating that a resource site, or the impact areas of such a site, is included in <br />the amended UGB area. <br /> <br />The subject project area includes Goal 5 resource sites; the Willamette River, a riparian resource <br />between 1-5 and E. 18th Avenue, and riparian resources in Alton Baker Park (the Canoe Canal). <br />Subsections (a) and (c) above are not applicable to this request as the proposed amendments do not <br />create or amend a list of Goal 5 resources, do not amend a plan or code provision adopted in order <br />to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, and do not <br />amend the acknowledged Urban Growth Boundary. Regarding subsection (b), the 1-5 Willamette <br />Bridge Project is replacement of an existing use in approximately the same location, even <br />considering the additional widening of the roadway. Therefore, (b) is not applicable because the <br />project includes replacement of an existing use, not a new use. <br /> <br />Based on the findings above, Statewide Planning Goal 5 is either not applicable or is met through <br />compliance with the acknowledged local permitting process. <br /> <br />Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, <br />water, and land resources of the state. <br /> <br />Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, <br />water and land from impacts from those discharges. The proposal does not amend the metropolitan <br />area's air, water quality or land resource policies. The applicant's findings show that the City can <br />reasonably expect that future development of the site will comply with applicable environmental <br />laws as follows: <br /> <br />Additionally, regarding air quality, the replacement bridges themselves should have no adverse <br />impact on air quality because they merely replace an existing facility that has been decommissioned <br />as being structurally unsafe. Regardless of the potential future addition of 6 lanes, the new bridges <br />do not necessarily result in more people driving on 1-5. Instead, existing traffic volumes will be <br />shifted from the detour bridge to the new bridges. If the decommissioned 1-5 bridge is not replaced, <br />those vehicles would be forced each day onto city streets and county roads not designed for such <br />trips. The ensuing degradation to the air quality along these alternative routes caused by <br />unmanageable congestion would be in direct contradiction to the purpose of Goal 6. Even the <br />potential increase in the number of lanes does not necessarily increase the number of people driving <br />on 1-5, but rather increases continuous traffic movement. Regarding air quality, this goal is met by <br />the proposed plan amendments. <br /> <br />Regarding water quality, construction of the replacement bridges and the removal of the <br />decommissioned and detour bridges will impact water quality by affecting soils and vegetation <br /> <br />Exhibit A - Findings <br />Page 15 <br />
