Commercial Development Policies. OAR 660-009-0020. Finally OAR 660-009-0025 requires that cities designate industrial and commercial lands sufficient to meet short and long term needs. OAR 660-009-0010(2) provides that the detailed planning requirements imposed by OAR 660 Division 9 apply "at the time of each periodic review of the plan (ORS 197.712(3))." In addition, OAR 660- 009-0010(4) provides that, when a city changes its plan designations of lands in excess of two acres to or from commercial or industrial use, pursuant to a post acknowledgment plan amendment, it must address all applicable planning requirements and (a) demonstrate that the proposed amendment is consistent with the parts of its acknowledged comprehensive plan which address the requirements of OAR 660 Division 9; or (b) amend its comprehensive plan to explain the proposed amendment pursuant to OAR 660 Division 9; or (c) adopt a combination of (a) and (b) consistent with the requirements of Division 9. In the context of OAR 660-009-0010(4), the Eugene Commercial Lands Study (ECLS) is acknowledged for compliance with the requirements of Goal 9 and its Administrative Rule. The ECLS constitutes the City's obligation under OAR 660 Division 9. However, since the 1-5 Willamette Bridge Proj ect is occurring in approximately the same location of the existing bridges, within existing right-of-way, existing right-of-way easements, or temporary staging areas (within existing right-of-way or park property), OAR 660-009-0010(4) does not apply because the proposed amendment will not remove any land from the commercial land supply. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land for needed housing units. The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 10 (OAR 660 Division 8) states that "the mix and density of needed housing is determined in the housing needs projection. Sufficient buildable land shall be designated on the comprehensive plan map to satisfy housing needs by type and density range as determined in the housing needs projection. The local buildable lands inventory must document the amount of buildable land in each residential plan designation." The comprehensive plan map for the City is the Metro Plan land use diagram. The 1999 Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study (RLS) is acknowledged for compliance with the requirements of Goal 10 and its Administrative Rule. As previously stated, the proposed plan amendment will accommodate a bridge replacement project that will occur in approximately the same location as the existing bridges, within existing right-of- way, existing right-of-way easements, or temporary staging areas (that are within right-of-way or park property). Therefore, the inventory of residential land will not be impacted and thus Statewide Planning Goal 1 0 is not applicable. Goalll - Public Facilities and Services: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. The area affected by the amendments, the bridge right-of-way, is located entirely within the City limits of both the City of Eugene and the City of Springfield. The proposed amendments would allow demolition and replacement of the temporary 1-5 bridge and reconstruction of the roadway Exhibit A - Findings Page 20
