approaches to the bridges, which are all public facilities that are acknowledged in the Oregon Highway Plan and the local regional transportation plan (TransPlan) as necessary public facilities and services. Replacement of the temporary bridge with permanent bridges that meets current seismic standards ensures that this public facility continues to safely serve the area. The provision of these amendments does not significantly affect the planning or development of future public facilities or services. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Goal 12 - Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0000, et seq. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is implemented at the local level. The TPR (OAR 660-012-0060) states that when land use changes, including amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans, significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility the local government shall put in place measures to assure that the allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and performance standards (level of service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. TransPlan, which implements Goal 12, identifies 1-5 (including the 1-5 bridge) as an existing transportation facility. Determination of Significant Effect The TPR requires a determination of which existing and planned transportation facilities will experience a significant effect as a result of the proposed plan amendment, and defines what constitutes a significant effect. OAR 660-012-0060(1) Plan and Land Use Regulation Amendments As stated in the following findings, the plan amendments propose no significant effect on any planned or existing facilities under OAR 660-012-0060(1)(a), (b) or (c). OAR 660-012-0060(1) Plan and Land Use Regulation Amendments states the following: (1) Where an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation would significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility, the local government shall put in place measures as provided in section (2) of this rule to assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards (e.g. level of service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it would: (a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility (exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan); (b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or The proposed amendment will not change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility or change the standards implementing a functional classification system.
