plans of affected governmental units and that opportunities be provided for review and comment by affected governmental units. To comply with the Goal 2 coordination requirement, the City coordinated the review of these amendments with all affected governmental units. Specifically, notice was mailed to the State Department of Land Conservation and Development, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Lane County, and the City of Springfield. Lane County and the City of Springfield are participating in this amendment. Part II - Exceptions Part II of Goal 2 provides the conditions and standards for which a local jurisdiction can adopt an exception to a statewide goal. Relevant to this request is Statewide Planning Goal 15, Willamette River Greenway which does not allow non water-dependent, non water-related uses, such as the proposed transportation facility, within the greenway setback without receiving an exception. Because a goal 15 exception is required by D.ll of the Metro Plan, it is unnecessary to determine if Goal 15 itself would require such an exception. The need for a goal exception is specifically triggered by Policy D.ll of the Metro Plan, Willamette River Greenway, River Corridors, and Waterways Element, which states: D.11 The taking of an exception shall be required if a non-water-dependent transportation facility requires placing of fill within the Willamette River Greenway setback. An exception to Statewide Planning Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway was approved for Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) 1-5 right of way crossing the Willamette River and within the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line, for purpose of constructing a temporary detour bridge, implementing the conditions imposed on the Discretionary Use Approval (Springfield Journal SHR 2003-00115) and removing the temporary detour bridge after completion of the permanent replacement bridge. This exception satisfies the criteria of Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-004-0022(5) Willamette Greenway; the exception requirements of OAR 660-004-0020 Goal 2, Part JI(c) for a 'reasons' exception; and pursuant to OAR 660-004-0015, is hereby adopted as an amendment to the Metro Plan text, Policy #D.ll, Chapter III, Section D. The taking of an exception is consistent with Policy D.ll as the proposal includes the placement of fill within the Willamette River Greenway setback for a non-water-dependent transportation facility, and is consistent with the Goal 15 exception previously taken for the temporary bridge, as described under Policy D.ll above. To acknowledge the 1-5 Willamette Bridge Project, Metro Plan Policy D.ll is proposed to be amended as follows in bold: An exception to Statewide Planning Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway was approved for Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for purposes of removing and replacing the decommissioned 1-5 bridge, the temporary detour bridge and the Canoe Canal bridge with two new parallel bridges (one southbound and one northbound) within the 1-5 right-of-way crossing the Willamette River and Canoe Canal and within the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line. The exception authorizes construction and later removal of one or more temporary work bridges; demolition of the decommissioned 1-5 Willamette River Bridge, Canoe Canal Bridge, and detour Exhibit A - Findings Page 3
