In addition, compatibility with greenway and Goal 5 resource values associated with the Willamette River, riparian areas both north and south of the river, the Whilamut Natural Area and Eastgate Woodlands will be further ensured through compliance with acknowledged Eugene and Springfield permitting requirements adopted to implement Goals 15 and 5; Willamette River Greenway and greenway setback review, and the Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone, subj ect to applicable standards and conditions. As noted earlier, the bridges are an existing use within the ODOT right-of-way. This proposal replaces the original bridge with two new bridges: one for northbound traffic, the other for southbound traffic, and replaces the Canoe Canal bridge. It also removes the detour bridge. Given that a bridge has been accommodating highway traffic in this area for decades, most new impacts will be associated with bridge construction or demolition. By remaining within the existing ODOT right-of-way, and employing Best Management Practices and other impact avoidance or mitigation techniques identified or required during the local permitting processes, impacts to surrounding natural resource lands can be minimized to protect natural resource qualities in and the use and enjoyment of the Willamette River, the Willamette River gr~enway, and the Whilamut Natural Area and Eastgate Woodlands. Based on the above findings, an exception to Goal 15 is warranted and meets the requirements of OAR 660-0040-0020 for the placement of fill within the greenway setback for the 1-5 Willamette Bridge Replacement project. Therefore, the amendments and goal exception are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2. Goal 3 - Agricultural Land: To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. Goal 3 is not applicable to these amendments as the subject property and actions do not affect any agricultural plan designation or use. Goal 3 excludes lands inside an acknowledged urban growth boundary from the definition of agricultural lands. Since the subject property is entirely within the acknowledged urban growth boundary, Goal 3 is not relevant and the amendments do not affect the area's compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 3. Goal 4 - Forest Land: To conserve forest lands. Goal 4 is not applicable to these amendments as the subject property and actions do not affect any forest plan designation or use. Goal 4 does not apply within urban growth boundaries and, .. therefore, does not apply to the subject property, which is within the Eugene-Springfield urban growth boundary (OAR 660-006-0020). Therefore, Goal 4 is not relevant and the anlendments do not affect the area's compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 4. Goal 5 - Open Spaces. Scenic and Historic Areas. and Natural Resources: To conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources. The following administrative rule (OAR 660-023-0250) is applicable to this post-acknowledgement plan amendment (PAPA) request: (3) Local governments are not required to apply Goal 5 in consideration of a PAPA unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. For purposes of this section, a PAPA would affect a Goal 5 Exhibit A - Findings Page 14
